Gender Studies - March 2007

This past Saturday I went with a female friend (who trusts me) to an event at a local mall. The event lasted till 4 in the morning but by around 2:30 she was ready to leave. So I started to leave with her, telling her "I'll walk you to your car." Of course she began her usual, "Oh you don't need to do that," then, "well I parked so far away, I don't want to inconvenience you." I told her that her parking far away was even more of a reason to escort her. That seemed to put it to rest for a moment but then she said, "I would really prefer that you not walk me to my car." After a quick "exchange," I let her win. I went back to the event and just worried myself over her safety. Then a few days later she failed to show up to class. I wrote back and she joked around saying that she made it safely to her car but she did question her judgment halfway to the car and the guy with the chainsaw behind her didn't help. Her flippant attitude pissed me off. I was worried sick.

I am 29/F and I recently met a man whom I thought was about 26 yrs old. I found out after we exchanged numbers he is only 23. He has a good job and personality and seems to be leveled headed. However, I feel odd dating someone 6 yrs younger because I never have before. I have dated guys the same age and up and they were immature anyway.
My concern is that he is younger and in time when he reaches my age he may not want to be with an older woman.
I am just wondering if there is anyone who thinks a relationship can be successful if an older woman dates a younger man?

Note: I said most, not all. Even 51% would be something to reckon with, but I think it's more like 70% or more. If feminists would like to win the hearts and minds of the average thinking man, this is a difficult area. The taste for bad boys and the desire to be "taken care of" range with these women both in manifestation and degree, but the existence of both in a woman who demands respect comes off as uttlerly ludacris to most guys. This IS a big portion of today's women's movement, answering questions like mine. You might like to think it's all about equal pay for equal work, equal choices, reproductive rights and other (more quantifiable/legal) issues, but it's not. Would you have more thoughtful, powerful men rallying for these issues by your side if you paid more attention to concepts similar to the one in my question? I think so.

I have heard so many women trash the magazine because of them, and I'm just curious why. Is it because women shouldn't care about pleasing their partners or is it that young girls are losing their virginity trying the "new position to make him crave more" or what?

I figured anything that encouraged females to be comfortable with their sexuality and enjoy sex on their own terms was a good thing. Can someone please explain to me what gives?

Why do so many women feel they need to be equal with men? Why do they want to do everything men do? I don’t think men are better than women, nor do I think women are better than men. They are just different. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

I think there are jobs that are far better suited for men than women and visa versa. For example… Why do women need to fight in war? Let the men do it! Also, I am not sure that I support women running for certain positions in government. Why? Because women tend to think with their emotions while men tend to think more logically. Neither response is wrong, but in some certain situations one works better than another.

Now by this question, I am not at all inferring that women are in any way inferior or should not be allowed to do things. Quite the contrary! I just don’t understand why women many women think that have to be the same. Why not be different? What is so wrong with that?

I watched Anderson Cooper 360 tonight and he was reporting on child prostitution and enslavement in Cambodia. The world steps up to the plate and stops things whenever it wants to. Why aren't enough people appalled enough to put a stop to this. Girls as young as 8 and 9 years old!!! I damned near cried thinking about those poor girls. How can we stop this? Where's the outrage?

Whenever specifics issues are adressed involving feminism, such as Vawa for exampel, those who come to the defense of feminism do not even try to engage the issue, but declare that eveybody who voices any criticism directed torwards feminism and its outcomes we have seen so far, is a woman hater who wants to see all women enslaved. Why are feminists such fanatics terrorized of debate ?

When you say that you are independent, to what are you referring? In which area of life are you independent? Is it monetary, romantic, emotional, relational, business-wise, jobwise, family wise, time with other people?
