Gender Studies - March 2007

Shouldnt they look at their own behaviour before accusing others?? Why is it that women are allowed to get away with it being labeled a "Strong" women with her own principles while men are perpetually the big bullies??
Isnt that being allowed to be bigoted and getting away with it??
Dont women realise that they already hold much of the power over men already??

Then explain this:

There are little boys who feel like girls at earily ages. They weren't trained by their parents or society to act like girls. In fact, they, & the rest of society, encourage them to act like boys. But the boys at young ages usually don't understand or completely comply, & so they continue to act like the girls they feel they are. Even tell their parents their desires to be princesses, queens, play with dolls & dress like pretend female characters when playing.

Eventually, many of these boys grow up & allow society to socially construct them to act like what "boys" are suppose to act like. Some later learn that being a man is not them, & they become transgendered.

How is gender ONLY a construct when they felt like girls their whole lives. Society didn't tell them they should feel like a girl & behave accordingly. This sounds more like, Gender is FIRST genetic, then later society tries to construct you into what it says you should act like.

Thoughts?

Muslim women are not allowed to expose their flesh and they are deemed as not having rights. Asian culture is also deemed as anti women-rights due to the traditional costumes and jobs assigned to Asian women. However, the western women are shown as an example for women rights just because they are able to expose skin and do whatever they want. Whereas when Asian or Islamic culture tries to protect women by putting a limit for them, it is deemed as not giving women rights.

You take a look at the media, a race car accompanied by a woman dressed scantily. In short, women are being used as objects to distract the interest of men. However, Islam wants to avoid this and asks women to wear proper decent clothings and other rules for the safety of women. However, these rules are labelled as against women rights. Do people want muslim women also to be used as objects just like some other women??

I look back in my earlier school days and memorize when the boys used to fill on the bodies of girls. I would get touched on my butt, breast, or in the front. I wonder why sexual harassment wasn't aware of then.

Do you think her new short hair cut is cuter than her previous long, wavy hair?
Do you think that a girl looks more attractive with her current, edgy short hair or the girlie hair she had before?

Thanks!

I think that a lot of what she says is true, but the way she gets the message across is not right. In an interview once, they were discussing Canada. She said that the Canadian government relies on the American government. I think in some ways that's true ... but then she goes on to say "lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent. Without the U.S., Canada is essentially Honduras". She even said that the U.S. could nuke Canada any day they want to. I'm Canadian and I think the Canadian government should give the U.S. government more respect, but when she said the rest, how could I not be offended?
That interview didn‘t get much media attention, so if you want to check it out, here is a video of it:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=QVBaik5s4nw

Even if she does say some extreme things, isn’t she a good example that women in America, in 2007, can get people to listen to them and also be successful?

That’s just my opinion. What do you think about her?

i like strong independent women that are feminine and dont have to go around proving they are strong. they just are.

i cant stand submissive ones. they are to clingy and have a very olden day way of thinking. also they realy have no concept of self and dont stand up for themselves.

Here are the military standards for men and women:

http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/blmarinefitness.htm

Again, easier standards for men and women. Women don't even have to do pull-ups to qualify. why? Because most cannnot do them, and there would be almost no women able to qualify if they had to meet the same requirements as men. But hey, we need to have the same number of men and women in the military. I mean if its the choice of young men dying in combat b/c they are paired with physically inferior women, or the choice of being politically correct, well then we have to be politically correct.

Please respond to these FACTS. Another example of men being discriminated against so radicals like Baba Yaga are apeased.

When will this stop? When will these people recognize biological differences b/w men and women, and stop regurciating social construct nonsense.

does that mean that women shouldnt be feminine and that women should be more like men? while gender and sex are different obviously the behavioral traits of the sexes are distinct from one and other. one being masculine and one being feminine. but since feminists say that gender is a "social construct" then that would mean that instinctual behavioral characteristics are created by society. which is false considering that masculinity and femininity are distinct from one an other even in the animal kingdom. so wouldnt it be defying nature when fighting the "social contruct"??

My question is this, does anyone know any female that was molested by there mother figure, (in my case, my adopted mother). And whether or not you have, how do you deal with intense hatred for the person. No, letters do not work and i simply don't have the means to go to psyh doctors. Any new light or ideas are welcome.


For the record, i have put this Q up in a different area and since everyone wanted to be so negitive, I will be very honest in saying, i'm NOT playing victim here and i'm NOT looking for sympathy. This has happened to me and there isin't a week that goes by that I don't feel intense hatred. I'm trying to get over it and that is why i ask, i'm trying to move on in life. So Baby Yaga, go jump off a cliff!
