Gender Studies - February 2007

I read that a 16 year old girl hockey player wanted to try out for the boys team even though there was a girls team at her school. I adamantly oppose this. I don't think it's fair to the guys to have to compete against girls in CONTACT SPORTS ONLY.

Men are taught to never ever their greater strength and physically aggressiveness to dominate or intimidate a women (yes, there is a ton of domestic violence, but those perps are despicable).

Yet, now girls/women want to prove they are physically tougher than men? I was taught it is ok to hit a guy if he invades your space, gets in your face, and threatens to kick your ***. I was also taught that if this hostile person was a girl, then you are not allowed to hit her; you have to walk away.

Yet, if you grew up in an environment where girls were trying to forecheck and tackle you during sports, you would probably hit this hostile person, even if it was a woman.

Do these same 16 year old girls also get separate locker rooms?

Would you pay workers @ 100% for maternity leave, paternity leave, or both?

For how long?

Would you also pay 100% of their child care?

If so, what impact do you think this would have on the health of your business? Especially if you started to attract many people wanting to start families?

Isn`t the view more important than the way the opinion is typed. Many hide behind foolish thought by using complex spelling but being smart is about making things easy and i find most spelling is illogical and is memory rather than thought based. I think its time for text speak to become the correct way of spelling altho i still think lol is annoying lol

Feb. 13, 2007 — A new study from the University of Arizona says that women's offices have 3½ times more germs than men's.

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/story?id=2870987&page=1

"Women's purses can pick up a lot of germs. Gerba's study found FECAL BACTERIA IN ONE-THIRD OF THE HANDBAGS TESTED"

"Women's offices tend to be dirtier than men's for the following reasons. First, they tend to use hand lotion more often, which gets on surfaces and traps germs. Then, they tend to be around children more often then men, and we all know how easily kids transmit germs. And finally they use makeup, which tends to absorb germs. Then it rubs off the face or gets scattered by brushes and sponges," he said.

"Women, in particular, are more likely to put food in there. I'm not sure exactly why — maybe because they are more likely to be secret snackers," he said.

"We actually found a lot of mold inside the drawers because of food. Disinfectant wipes are a good way to eliminate bacteria and mold that accumulate."

Why are we so discriminated against we are forced to work in filth?

This Valentines day advertisement shows a man being given a black eye for not getting the right Valentines day gift:

DETRIOT NEWS AD WARNS MEN - GET HER THE RIGHT VALENTINES DAY GIFT OR SHE'LL PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE

This Yahoo advertisement shows that Valentines day has become more about putting unimpressed women up on a pedestal:

WOMEN UNIMPRESSED ON VALENTINES DAY
http://www.dontmakehermad.com/images/valentinesday/

This is in addition to the V-Day Vagina Monologues direct man bashing.

Seems to me that women should be grateful for a day about chivalry and romance, but what we are seeing happen is women EXPECTING SOMETHING GOOD OR THE MAN DESERVES PUNISHMENT.

What is going through women's minds when they milk chivalry to the point of man bashing like this? Could this have something to do with chivalry dying?

why??

why dont you feminists try and be proud of doing the role of a woman and be proud to be women and not angry your not men?? the male provides and protects, and the female nurtures and supports. neither is more important then the either. and with out one of them the structure will fail. so why dont you be proud to be women??

and do you think that if men created a movement for pushing the male gender forward we would be seen as strong and proud or sexist pigs?? cause male or femal i dont sdee a difference

i just asked this in an other form, but i think i asked in the wrong room
i am attracted to plus size women, i know that is not the norm in todays day and age. However I get very worked up when looking at them or talking to them. My wife is a size 8 do i tell her, that i think larger women are attractive. i even buy mags and go on line to look at large women, is this ok? Am i weird?

i am a very in shape guy of 6'3 190 , so i am not a big guy,,...and i would never ask my wife to gain any weight, i gues i just think about large women while we have sex...

Interesting ?
Isnt it a kick in the balls of all the fathers,husbands,boyfriends,even sons,brothers by daughters,wives,girlfriends,mothers,sisters?Atleast this was the symbol portrayed by feminists and is shown in movies and serials and the whole media.
How they laugh as the patriarch doubles up in pain and goes down great fun and rejoicing in victory ehhh???
congratulations to all females you have won.
Its time for the next round and for a taste of your own medicine.
Hatred only spawns more hatred and you not only planted the seeds of liberation of women but also the seeds of hatred in the male.
Sexual weakness can only go so far then let the second round begin.
