"I'm not encouraging my son to beat girls up, I tell him that it's okay to punch them if they attack him (which the stupid feminist system has made him unable to understand), untill they become girls again. I actually assaulted one of his bullies at school (puled her hair, hit her in the stomach so on) , she didn't report me and that took care of the problem, I also threatened to rape her if she kept on harassing my son. AND I'M PROUD OF WHAT I DID
Behave like trash, get treated like trash. When you go back to baking cookies and little bÎtches goes back to playing with dolls, I'm not hitting any of you."

Who thinks it is okay to threaten to rape someone? What kind of adult assaults a teenager instead of going to the authorities? And lastly, who does he think he is to threaten to beat women for not fitting his idea of feminine?

Women have been doing it for years (I never understood what's so unattractive about some fuzzies - I think it's cute) and now it's gone so far that men are waxing chests, etc.

What gives? Why are we trained to hate our bodies and their natural attributes?

Having lived in America, I was SHOCKED by the level of ignorance from the people. They are all so programmed and know NOTHING about the rest of the world. I was tired of being asked stupid questions about England like "do you have to stand in line for your food" 'Do you have Christmas in England" 'I bet your overwhelmed seeing what we have here" I went all over the country and to my disappointment discovered that people were equally as stupid everywhere.

Writer Naomi Wolf in her book "The Beauty Myth":

"Of course men don't age any better physically," says Wolf, "they age better only in terms of social status".

"We misperceive in this way since our eyes are trained to see time as a flaw on women's faces where it is a mark of character on men's. If men's main function were decorative and male adolescence were seen as the peak of male value, a 'distinguished' middle-aged man would look shockingly flawed," she says.

It's been that way for a long time.

Experience is knowledge and that is what we must remember when we look at our own lifestyles, learning from our mistakes and tweaking our options to maximise our short time on this earth.

It's interesting that men are still afforded this luxury but women are widely dismissed on the basis of age and fading physical beauty

Your thoughts?

in a few of my questions this guy http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=AoM9qmDiDP112LxcIaec9on27BR.;_ylv=3?show=AA11284138 (imparcial)
has been insulting me with his answer. although it would be mildly amusing had it not been directed at me why do you think he is doing it. surely this is the place to ask questions without fear of being ridiculed. is he a lonely lost unhappy man? is he going through a divorce? maybe he has realised he is attracted to the same sex?? what do you think.

What are some books/theorists I can read that discuss how an individual does not fully complete a developmental stage (such as not resolving their adolescent stage) and how does one go back and resolve the issues at this stage in order to successfully complete the tasks of the succeeding stages?

do you think that cinema is sexist and does it all come down to female beauty in the end? Do you think that women are at a disadvantage?
