Gender Studies - January 2007

What Do Women Want From Men? What Qualities? And, If a woman were to meet a man at a bar/club, what would be the best way to approach her in order not to seem too desperate?

This seems to be a pretty blatant double standard.

A woman passes by a house where a man is standing naked in front of a window. The man is declared an exhibitionist and would be arrested for indecent exposure.

Now let's switch the genders: a man passes by a house where a woman is standing naked in front of a window. The man is declared a peeping tom and would be arrested for invasion of privacy.

Do you agree with the feminist view that the man is guilty in both cases?

Seems to me a lot of what feminists claim to be fighting for are based on blatant falsehoods. The "wage gap" being the biggest one:

http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/blog/2005/07/wage-gap-myth-is-hazardous-to-mens.htm

A study in the May issue of American Economic Review (2003) had found that the wage gap between men and women was the result of lifestyle choices, not discrimination.

Is there one? I find it extremely insulting that the word 'nymphomaniac' refers only to women. Almost like it's a disease for a woman to like sex. What's the name for a man who is addicted to sex besides labelling him a 'sex addict' as if he has no control of his action therefore not responsible. Anyone know another word?
Oh and for those who don't believe me:

I am struggling to decide which girl I am going to marry...

Fantassia is a girl that has many similiar interests as me and she is a very beautiful girl. The problem with her is that she flirts with many guys and she has an anger problem and is very narccisstic.

Rachel is a girl that has good values, patient, a virgin, and a very beautiful girl. The problem with her is that she has very few similiar interests as me and lives very far away.

Who should I marry and please give me a practical answer. Thank you very much.

Not many people know a statute which makes it illegal to enforce slavery exists in US legislation has been trampled on by feminists.

This statute is the Antipeonage Act of 1867. It currently exists as 42 U.S.C. §1994, which is the civil provision, and 18 U.S.C. §1581, which is the criminal provision. Just to keep you from thinking that I am talking about a myth, you may look these statutes up in the United States Code.

The Antipeonage Act is appropriate legislation Congress passed to enforce the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolishes slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime.

Peonage is defined as LEGALLY REQUIRED LABOR TO PAY A DEBT OR OBLIGATION.

Men are REQUIRED by feminist instated law to pay their OBLIGATION to pay for a child in the event of a divorce.

This has become a $40 Billion dollar a year industry where many men have no say in their obligation.

Have feminists violated the anti-peonage act?

This is obviously a non-scientific question but it seems most every girl I've ever met dislikes milk. It is way disproporinate to guys that I've met who do not like milk. Is it something genetic? Ask any girl around you if she wants a glass of milk then watch her reaction.

In the last 2 weeks I asked (then reiterated) a Q about female sex tourism. Only 2 answers (1 legit but just agreeing, the other from someone who obviously didn't understand). I'm in my library now doing research for a current events school paper (on another topic) and I notice in Tuesday's "Times" an article also mentioning the phenomenom (including the descriptive line "...[where] wickedly handsome young men with flowing dreadlocks...provide rent-a-dread services for women of every nationality, for most [of whom] it is a 4-day fling... " and I simply MUST take a minute's break to ask again...

Why does it seem that in the Yahoo-Answers community, in which Qs concerning male sexual practice and wanderings always seem to elicit 1 or 2 dozen mostly deriding answers, nobody seems to want to address this about females' behaviour?
(Please refer to my first two Qs on the topic which are more specific). Why such universal unwillingness to comment about the subject?

When I first came across the Women's Studies section I was expecting questions about the history of women's rights and that kind of thing. But all there seems to be here are thousands of questions asked by angry men, asking why women are so terrible, shallow, stupid, etc. and saying how amoral feminists are, and how great it would be if women were still like they were a century ago. Why are there almost no intelligent questions here?

Why is that whenever I mention to anyone who is male that I am a feminist they assume that I am a lesbian? I think its absolutely appalling that I get that reaction!! I am a straight strong-willed women who is getting married but that has nothing to do with what I believe in. Lesbians, women, independant hardworking women, we are all the same in wanting to believe in womanhood. What are your thoughts?
