Gender Studies - March 2007

i'm 18 years old. most women consider guys my age to be at their sexual prime, so when guys around my age hit on a women in her late 20s and older, she will feel so flattered and be really nice about it and flirt back(and will probably wish she could take them home, but wouldn't because of it being socially unacceptable).

of course this only applies to guys who actually have the 'cute teenage boy' look. not only am i not cute, but i look like i could be in my mid 20s. so when i hit on older women thtey either act like it's nothing special and ignore me OR they act like i'm being ridiculous and that i should know better. is this at all fair? guys my age and younger get this really warm response, and that's what i get?

After the beating I took from women for asking this
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aj_eefkTFaDp0LJQt4NlV0jsy6IX?qid=20070322102428AA14gLn
question, I’d like to know where the problem occurs with this logic…

1) Does having someone (even a woman) next to you LESSEN the chances of you being raped in a parking garage?
2) Do the scumbag men who rape women respect men more than women?
3) Does it not therefore follow that a man walking with a woman will get more respect from the scumbag than if two women were walking together?

4) Is it better to be insulted or to be raped?
5) Isn’t it better to be safe than sorry?
6) Do you care if you getting hurt affects the people you love?

I hope you at least follow my logic. If you disagree with my conclusion that it’s proper for a man to offer escort a female friend and it’s also proper for the girl to accept (since she has a responsibility to make sure she doesn't come to harm), PLEASE explain to me which of these is wrong

What do we call it as a society when a woman thinks with the "wrong" head? Is this a double-standard?

I've been at holiday camps sharing sleeping quaters, and some girls just leave their panties curled up on the floor with the other dirty clothes. Other incidents like this happens when visisting some ppl's house to find the same thing in the bathroom. Or a peek through the bedroom door left ajar, and you see panties and thongs hanging on the dresser or a chair.
I think it's gross. To me , it means those people are untidy, ad have no cleanliness, or they have no respect for themselves and other ppl. Sometimes you just have to wonder whether their panties are clean? or if u have to avoid looking at the crotch area. I believe clean underwear should be folded neatly in the drawers or should be out of public's view in a laundry basket when they are dirty...If the underwears are NOT lying around in inappropriate places, we don't have to guess...

At first I thought it was just a sexual thing, being extreamly interested in lesbians, but now, I think the feelings within me are MUCH deeper than just sex. Sometimes I "feeel" lesbian, inside of myself. I LOVE their lifestyle,attitudes,feelings,and more.

Unfortuneatly , I have the wrong body for any real intrest from any Lesbian Ladies. So,what can I do to be at least "friends" with lesbian gals. I would greatly appreciate their company, if nothing else.

The Answer is "No"
The question: Can men ever win?
If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you're a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework, you're a pansy.
If you work too hard, there is never any time for her.
If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your *** and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.
If you cry, you're a wimp.
If you don't, you're an insensitive *******.
If you thump her, it's wife bashing.
If she thumps you, it's self defense.
If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist.

I don't know if it's because they are much more morally determined or if it's because they don't spend so much time on football, but it has been scientifically proven women are much more upgraded than men in the intellect area. Why?

Where I live we seem to have a lot of women bankers. However I've heard that girls in school have a harder time initially with math, so this seems counterintuitive for them to be working with numbers every day if this holds up. Is it just a myth that girls have a harder time with math, or do they catch up and then enjoy it?

I'm asking this as an actual question, not to anger anyone. I do like the women bankers.

baby you gave birth to due to unfaithful actions of its father, how would you react?

This question requires one to suspend reality a bit in order to answer.

It's crazy, you show women a study that men are smarter than women and they all deny it or say ''we just let em think they are''
But show them a study that proves women are better multi-taskers and they will all agree with it. What is up with that?

I am a heterosexual male managing several young, attractive females in the entertainment industry. These women try every method to get their way. I wind up being the one feeling sorry for THEM when they are late for work or not complying with the set rules! I am sensitive to women and their sometimes exaggerated emotional needs, but I am trying to run a business. What should I do?

I think we are going down a very dangerous path when we encourage all fathers to be positively involved in their daughters lives, supporting and encouraging them. This world would eb a very sad, unbearable place without strippers and escorts. Maybe we should just be nice to the ugly little girls.

Why is it only men can be drafted and die for their countries?When will we have reperations for all the men who did so?Now that women make the same money as men,why can't they pay for: all the dating,wedding rings,marriage,honeymoon then lose their house and kids and pay alimony?Research now shows the most important parent after 4 is the father,so why are our laws so sexist?Is that why ever since feminism came along drug abuse,rape ,suicide,violent crime by women against men etc. has increased?Our society is now falling apart at the seems.Women throughout time have stolen a lot of money from men under false pretenses.Why dont the feminists who are so strong and independent,demand women no longer take money from men,but rather pay it back and make reperations?Why don't women want to buy a man an expensive ring when they marry?It is simple,feminism is propaganda designed to destroy(trojan horse) our society.It has nothing to do with equal rights,but about creating a double standard.
