Hey girls. I just realized, we go through all that pain for our beauty, yet a lot of men still treat girls as if we're these useless creatures.
The guys at my house always barge in when I try to fix my bike a light etc saying I shouldnt hurt myself, yet none of them would consider going to wax a hairy back or chest.
Dont you agree, women should be the new GI Janes for all the nonsense we put up with, and men should stop treating us as if we'll break!

Your man comes home one night. He says I have a surprise for you. You say, Okay bring it on!! In walks this hot looking guy. You're like ok honey, what is the surprise? He's like, I want you to do us both, but I want to watch first. First of all you are straight, as in sober, shocked and don't know if this is a test, to see how faithful you are. What, I need to know honestly, what would you do??????????? This is not for the virgins, this is for real women, with lust in her veins! Go girlfriend, is what my friends say. The shy and goody two shoes need not to apply.

Germaine Greer
September 6, 2006

THE world mourns. The world-famous wildlife warrior Steve Irwin has died a hero, doing the thing he loved, filming a sequence for a new TV series.

Irwin was the real Crocodile Dundee, a great Australian, an ambassador for wildlife, a global phenomenon, a superhuman generator of merchandise, books, interactive video games and action figures.

The only creatures he could not dominate were parrots. A parrot once did its best to rip his nose off his face. Parrots are a lot smarter than crocodiles.

What seems to have happened on Batt Reef is that Irwin and a cameraman went off in a little dinghy to see what they could find. What they found were stingrays. You can just imagine Irwin yelling: "Just look at these beauties. Crikey! With those barbs a stingray can kill a horse." (Yes, Steve, but a stingray doesn't want to kill a horse. It eats crustaceans, for God's sake.)

All Australian children know about stingrays. We are now being told that only three people have ever been killed by Australian stingrays. One of them must have been the chap who bought it 60 years ago in Brighton Baths where my school used to go on swimming days.

As a Melbourne boy, Irwin should have had a healthy respect for stingrays, which are actually commoner, and bigger, in southern waters than they are near Port Douglas.

The only time Irwin ever seemed less than lovable to his fans (as distinct from zoologists) was when he went into the Australia Zoo crocodile enclosure with his month-old son in one hand and a dead chicken in the other. For a second you didn't know which one he meant to feed to the crocodile. If the crocodile had been less depressed it might have made the decision for him.

The adoring world was momentarily appalled. They called it child abuse. But that's entertainment at Australia Zoo.

Irwin's response to the sudden outburst of criticism was bizarre. He believed that he had the crocodile under control. But he could have fallen over, suggested an interviewer. He admitted that was possible, but only if a meteor had hit the Earth and caused an earthquake of 6.6 on the Richter scale. That sort of self-delusion is what it takes to be a "real Aussie larrikin".

What Irwin never seemed to understand was that animals need space. The one lesson any conservationist must labour to drive home is that habitat loss is the principal cause of species loss. There was no habitat, no matter how fragile or finely balanced, that Irwin hesitated to barge into, trumpeting his wonder and amazement to the skies. There was not an animal he was not prepared to manhandle. Every creature he brandished at the camera was in distress. Every snake badgered by Irwin was at a huge disadvantage, with only a single possible reaction to its terrifying situation, which was to strike.

In 2004 Irwin was accused of illegally encroaching on the space of penguins, seals and humpback whales in Antarctica, where he was filming a documentary called Ice Breaker. An investigation by the Australian Department of the Environment resulted in no action being taken, which is not surprising seeing that John Howard, the Prime Minister, made sure that Irwin was one of the guests invited to a "gala barbecue" for George Bush a few months before.

Howard is now Irwin's chief mourner, which is only fair, seeing that Irwin announced that Howard is the greatest leader the world has ever seen.

The animal world has finally taken its revenge on Irwin, but probably not before a whole generation of kids in shorts seven sizes too small has learned to shout in the ears of animals with hearing 10 times more acute than theirs, determined to become millionaire animal-loving zoo-owners in their turn.

This is an edited extract of an opinion piece by Germaine Greer in The Guardian.

I´ve been dating a girl for a couple of weeks, sudenly one day she kissed me, thats all we did, we spoke on the telephone the next two days, as usual, mostly about trivial things, the yestarday I called her and she wont answer the phone and didn´t call back.
she said to me the day of the kiss tha she liked me and wanted to date me. Why does she do that? Usually when she did not answer, she called me back a couple of hours later, its been more than a day.

I hear so many arguments today,such as the subject of equality and equal rights for women and men.

my stance is that equality is a myth,their is no equality in the natural world,women are not equal to men because they have all the responsibilities of child bearing,and men do not have to carry this burden.I think women are pressured to succeed in careers and made to feel guilty for staying home and being a housewife,which is their God given right to do.Now Men are becoming like women and staying home with the kids while the wife brings home the income,I feel its shameful,and disgusting.Im tired of all this BS...its time to go back to our anti-feminist foundations.

if a guy keeps "accidently" keeps rubbing your boobs, does he means he wants to have sex with you? Does that ever happen to you? Explain. Plus how do you tell a guy you want to have sex with without directly telling him?
