Gender Studies - February 2007

I see that when a woman lives in a conservative culture, she support and obey that culture. Again when she move into other place where culture are different, they also change their view.
If a woman merry a religious man, then the women also converted herself to religious women. etc. These seems to that they do not have really any self originated value, belief, morality and thought. They take shape according to the pot where she is being kept.
Why they have no individuality?

Domestic violence is a problem that affects men AND women in overwhelming numbers. The difference, however, is that men receive almost zero assistance in terms of shelters, government funding, or even SYMPATHY when they are battered by their wives. There is no "battered husband syndrome" to use as a defense in court, and sometimes even male CHILDREN are turned away from shelters because they'll create a "hostile environment."

This is the newest study that proves yet again that DV is a problem that affects both sexes:

It's nothing new, either. Here's a page that contains the mother lode of studies all showing that women are as violent, if not more violent, as men:

http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm

In the face of these facts, why is there so much denial? The best I've ever seen a feminist do in this category is to admit that MAYBE men have a problem, but women have it soooo much worse. Why the dishonesty?

I was reading in my Human Sexuality class that most girls begin to masturbate around age 3-5 and then stop around age 10-12, when the boys usually start. The book said it is because at that age, usually aroung puberty, girls are told that expressing their sexuality is wrong. It then went on to say that most women don't start to masturbate again until their mid-20s.

So ladies do you find this to be true, I do? I remember masturbating as a little girl but then I stopped as a teenager. I wanted to masturbate so badly but I did not because it was against my religion but mostly because my friends said any girl who masturbates is desperate. I did not start to masturbate again until college. But sometimes I think of all the sexual energy I wasted as a teenager.

If I had a daughter I would encourage her to masturbate and not inhibit her sexuality just because our society says "good girls shouldn't like sex". I know most men would not agree but ladies can you relate to what I am talking about?

how man really accept and congratulate woman's achievements and success.I do believe there are many men out there, probably a majority of the men in the world, that are insecure and intimidated by women who are successful or more successful then they are.

For example, if there's one successful businesswoman, men would think:

- she must be a millionaire's daughter.
- she's probably 36-24-36

Can men just admit that women are capable to succeed on her own effort and hardwork?

In this time and age if a ship were to sink with a limited number of lifeboats, who gets first dips ? Those who make it to the boats the fastest, is it still women first or something else ?

I work in an office setting and constantly hear the women talk about feces smeared on the walls (and worse). Our men's room is never dirty and, in fact, quite clean. We have a 60/40 ratio of women to men.

Hi, I have been thinking, and although I am happy that women in this county have rights the same as the men do and we are now considered equal (damm right)
But I also think that this independant girl power thing has gone too far, I am a women and like having a career etc but I also believe that we should be treated by our fellow men as ladies, whats offensive by a man offering to pay and opening the car door for you?? I dont get why some women have a bee in their bonnet about them being able to do everything a man can do, firstly why would you want to? and secondly some things you just cant do.
Men a physically stronger and faster, leave the hard working construction jobs to them their good at it what do you women have to prove??
Women wanting to be in front line combat why?? I was in the army for 10 years and happily accepted that the male soldiers were alot better than females in combat situation, plus the fact that a male soldier would find it alot harder to leave a female dying

I was listening to the radio a few days ago, and they were talking about how men usually don't like Valentine's Day, because men usually have to go the extra mile for the woman and the woman does almost nothing for men in return. Then I watched Leno tonight and he mentioned the same thing, stating that back in the day Valentines was about men and women exchanging gifts equally, but now it's more about what women get and what they want. She asked Beyonce, and of course the misandrist Beyonce (Bugaboo, Bills, Independent Woman, Irreplaceable) would say "women deserve it" and had no objection to the fact that men get little to nothing in return.

So is this a result of the feminist/man-hating movement designed to ostracize and emasculate men? Do women want everything? Are women these days too "proud" to do anything romantic for the man? Are women selfish?

The recent thread about divorcing your wife on Valentines day got a few angry responses, eg. "what a complete and insensitive jack@$#!", umm:

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY -- LET'S GET DIVORCED!!
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070205/clmfns1.html?.v=6

It seems Valentine's Day may be a dual holiday for lovers and leavers... New York City Divorce Attorney Sherri Donovan, in her new book HIT HIM WHERE IT HURTS: The Take-No-Prisoners Guide to Divorce - Alimony, Custody, Child Support, and More offers advice for women in their moment of realization -- that on this day of romance they have none...and their decision to jump ship. "You may simply decide that you can't face another Valentine's Day living a lie," Donovan says.

It's a press release for:

'The central feminist tenet that the personal is political is profoundly threatening to young women who don't want to be called to account. It is far easier to rest in silence, as if silence were neutrality, and as if neutrality were safety. Neither wholly cynical nor wholly apathetic, women who fear feminism fear living in its consequences…. Women fear taking a public stand, entering public discourse, demanding and perhaps getting
attention. And for what? To be called a "feminazi"? To be denounced as traitors to women's "essential nature"?

HAPPY BULLET (ET AL) I AM ASKING THE GROWN-UPS HERE SO GO PLAY 'CHICKEN' ELSEWHERE.

It's really sad that I need to insert that (above) but these guys are angry and feeling threatened....are younger women really afraid to offend such rabid dogs as this?

Hey,I'm doing a bit of research for my school essay,I'm trying to narrow down the likes and dislikes of women.

I have seen that alot of similarities in whats considered hot and whats not depending on the country,age & religion.

For example young teenagers like the boyish look but in some countries like Britain,Spain women in their 20's find it attractive aswell.

The macho look is pretty popular among more mature women and seems to be popular in countries like USA and Australia.

Is their any reasons for this?
