Gender Studies - April 2007

Well....I, personally, advocate it, because it gives us women a sense of empowerment. I even heard that Christina Aguilera, a "Stop Vioence Against Women" activist, loves the idea of strong women beating up their husbands/boyfriends. I also believe, unlike women, men deserve to have the CRAP beaten out of them by women, just because they are ****!!! But, what are your vies on this?

In most of the novels and biographies I have read it is apparent that a woman will have almost 180 degree opinion from that of her mother. This is a life long difference in most of the cases I have read about.

So, I was wondering if you have any more substantial reading material than my observations in literature. Thank you.

ok lets a say you were in the mall or out in public somewhere by your self, and a guy comes up to you and introduces himself and he asks you if you'd give him a hug(let him hold you for about a few seconds) for $50 would you do it 1) if the guy is really good looking? 2) if the guy is average looking, not attractive? 3) if the guy is ugly? and let say you're NOT in a place where it looks like he could pull something. explain your answer. be 100% honest and TELL ME YOUR AGE. don't answer without tellig me your age.

Okay this is starting to bug me now.

Seems like recently every time I turn around some feminist is all up in arms about Alexandra's posts and even if they aren't really all that bad, like having a massive cry about her saying they wouldn't understand something to do with Christianity. "It's abuse boohoo". WTF?! And all these nasty name calling posts about stepford wives and women hating robots. She gets called a woman hater more than I do and she's a woman.

She is up the feminists' noses BAD.

Now I would be so pleased to have feminists hate me this bad and I'm pretty sure that I've said much worse things than she has, so what gives? Honestly I don't get it. Surely I'm a way bigger bastard. Is she doing something that I don't do? Is it because she is a superior alternative to them to men? Is this based on a feminist belief that only women matter so they see her as more of a threat? Seriously, what is it?

Why do the feminists hate a female anti-feminist more than the male ones?

POST-BRIDGET, IT'S LOOKING EVEN WORSE FOR THE GIRLS
http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/relationships/article1580310.ece

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that an alpha female requires an even more alpha male as a mate. But a recent report suggests today’s successful woman with her high standards and picky notions will have nobody to marry"

Damn straight. Pay attention. This is why women can't have it all: HYPERGAMY. Men can have it all because they'll marry down and are happy to support someone to take care of the kids, enabling them to have a career and a family.

No such thing is acceptable for women.

With the divorce rate and laws - and The Marriage Strike, men are more interested in their own thing than working hard to be a "good provider" candidate for a marriage in which they have to still work, do housework, have to put up with nagging and/or get taken to the cleaners. We're not such lemmings as to see work as something other than just that.. WORK.

Essentialy this is it. My wife tells me to go to the store and get her some tampons. She has her own words of what is considered for light/heavy/thin/long etc etc etc. And I find when looking for tampons for her each company has their own way of expressing fluid capacity. I always come home with the wrong thing. If I went to put tires on my car there is a Tire modeling Schema ex: P205 70 R15. I dosen't matter what fvcking tire company there is (Michelin, Goodyear, Kelly) if I give them this number everybody is on the same page. I'm thinking of a system like L-W-(WW-H). So that would be Lenght-Width-(WW = With Wings, T = Thong, R = Regular H-heavy, m = medium, l = light) etc. etc. Like if every company keeps this number system on the front package in the same place of each manufacture it's easy for us. But these standereds exist for everything already like if I go into Home Depot and ask for a 4x4x8 everybody knows I'm looking for a post (fence, mailbox) and pressure treated.

I just wanted to point out for the benefit of certain types of men posting here that 100 years ago it would have been almost universally accepted than men are superior to women and that therefore they have a duty and a responsibility to protect and assist women. Men who insult women are cads and deserve no respect. It's a sign of weakness to be so easily angered by women.
Watch the Godfather sometime.

So you are a failure as a man even if you think that men are superior to women.

According to the below article from the Seattle Times, lawmakers are working to reintroduce the ERA, this time known as the "Women's Equality Amendment." Of course Phyllis Schlafly and her minions are already working to get rid of it. Do you think she'll be successful again? Or has America come far enough to allow full equality of the sexes?

As a child, we always argued about this question with the opposite sex. But truthfully, who can take more pain? I think WOMEN!!!!

I have a theory to propose, and would enjoy some (constructive) critism. Known uberfeminist trolls need not apply please :).

From what we've seen in history, I believe that one can make the following comments on the correlation between leadership and the leaders gender:

- Men seem to be better programmed to dominate the "tribe", and maintaining control of the "tribe" as a whole. Examples of this are Napolean, Lenin, Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, etc. Some will argue that women were never given the opportunity to become leaders in some of these older societies due to the limitations of cultural stereotypes, but there is a very potent example against this; Communist Russia had sexual equality in everything, infact, women were encouraged to work side by side with their husbands. During the Second World War, women fought in the Soviet army against the Germans, flew in the Soviet airforce, etc. And yet, there was no female Socialist Party head that was a woman.

They are asking their supporters to "pledge a protester." Every year on Good Friday thousands of Protesters show up at our local Planned Parenthood, so this year they are asking people to pledge an amount of money for every protester that shows up, so in essence all the protesters will be raising money for the clinics. The more anti choice individuals who show up, the more money Planned Parenthood gets. I think its a great idea! heres the link....

My wife fantasizes about other women and about me having sex with other women. Is this cause for concern, or just a fantasy, just something that gets her going. I understand fantasies can range far and wide, but my wife picturing lesbian encounters with me doing things to the other women, is this cause for concern...DISCUSS.....please....

Since I've been on yahoo answers, I've noticed a lot of girls/women who use every post as an opportunity to bash on men. (Talking about they are all the same, all want the same thing, simple-minded, opressive, want to own women - and, in some cases, even going so far as to explain how 'woman a' should kick 'man b's' ***) etc. etc. Are these people teaching men not to respect women.

Feminists claim that women earn an amount of money roughly proportional to 70% of men's earnings. This figure only compares the TOTAL amount that men and women make, however, which is a biased estimate for many reasons. One, many more men than women go on to become CEOs, officials, and managers, which necessarily allow one to earn more. Two, women choose their careers differently than men do, often opting for more time off, flexible schedules, health insurance, and job security than men do. Female choice, in my opinion, is the most important factor active in the supposed wage gap, and national statistics seem to agree with me:
