Gender Studies - April 2007

In the case of the Duke Lacrosse team: I was horrified when I first heard of a brutal gang rape at a party. I felt bad for the women involved and now feel sick at finding out they were lying. When a woman falsely accuses a man of men of rape, it makes it harder for other woman who have been raped to be taken seriously. Not to mention it would ruin the lives of the accused. Where do these guys go from here? They have been cleared of the charge but what about those other men sitting in jail because they didn't have the resources to clear themselves? Ladies: You can't get back at men by calling them rapist. There are woman out there who need help and we don't need woman who falsely accuse men of rape out there. What are your thoughts?

Besides things that have to do with bearing a child, I believe that there really isn't a single thing that women are better than men at, when you compare the best from each.

Every now and then some feminists comes up with a complaint that women are discriminated against because there is an increase in women living in poverty:

FEMINIZATION OF POVERTY
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminization_of_poverty

"The feminization of poverty is a phenomenon that has been observed in the United States since 1970 as female headed households accounted for a growing proportion of those below the poverty line. A large majority of these women are divorced or never-married mothers."

So..? Feminism has always been about WOMEN'S INDEPENDENCE. Okay so you're independent now so you got what you wanted who cares if you're poor as a result of your own decisions?

I suppose we are to rectify this by giving you money for no apparent reason? Sounds dependent on the handouts (from men) to me... Why do feminists think handouts for no reciprocal service is the definition of "independence"?

And would women even want to run the world? Seems women scorn men they could boss around.

"If I had to choose between chivalry and rights, I'd take rights because those are unconditional and depend on no one else's good will."

Feminists that think this statement is true please put your hand up. Thanks.

Reality check. Men are stronger. You may not like chivalry because it depends on our goodwill to take pity on you and give you rights. This is what the loss of chivalry really means - the loss of men's goodwill.

This is why people say feminists are cooking their own goose, because you violate men's rights, men can rectify that by taking up arms.

This is also why many men find the idea of negotiating with feminists laughable. Feminism is so out of control that eventually a large enough number of men WILL just want it gone.

That is the fundamental difference between feminism and the men's movement. 10,000 feminists is a demonstration. 10,000 men is not a demonstration - it's an army.

You are dependent on enough men being willing to protect you forever.

Understand?

Hello, Everyone!

I'm sorry about this question, but:

Is there any way to tell if someone was molested as a child? Are there certain characteristics or anything they get/have when they get older?

Again, sorry about this question!

Thanks, Everyone!

Isn't being a boy or a girl a huge stereotype??? Because almost all boys like sports just because they are boys. Also the whole thing about boys being macho, girls are just as strong as boys. Do you agree or not???

Isn't that law should protect people and society, but we still see that crimes against women are still more than crimes agianst men and it is days after days increasing instead of decreasing.

Isn't there some thing worng in Law?

It is true that women there have more rights than many others counties, but why we see that crimes there inceasing if women really are protected?

Oh damn. Looks like studies ARE finding children in childcare ARE growing up maladjusted...

NURSERIES 'TURNING OUR CHILDREN INTO YOBS'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=446564&in_page_id=1770

"Labour's drive to put toddlers in childcare so mothers can go out to work is damaging a generation, the Government's own research showed yesterday."

"Young children who spend long hours in nurseries are more disruptive and anxious than infants mainly looked after at home by their mothers. The earlier they go to nursery, the worse their behaviour becomes."

"Toddlers left in daycare for at least 30 hours a week are "significantly" more likely to bully other children, tease them, call them names and demand their own way."

Basically the study says raising a child with two working parents is child abuse. Is that going to stop our wonderfully selfless feminists from demanding "independence" at their children's expense anyway?

There's Female Studies, but there is an incredible lack of Male Studies.

You'll never take a class regarding "Male Gender Studies in Early America". There's a Female class, but no Males one.

Please don't tell me it's because "men already dominate the world". If you look at female studies, they focus on the "domestic sphere" and sexuality. Male studies should be the same thing, with emphasis on the "Public Sphere" and sexuality.

For example, if we take Colonial America. There's plenty on what girls should be and their lives being centered on domesticity. If we look at men, sure their lives are centered on work, but how about men that do not live up to this? Black Male Slaves and their problems of feminitiy? Young men forced to work jobs just because society forces it on them. Any mental problems?

A while ago a university did a survey asking guys if they'd rape an attractive girl if they were absolutely sure they wouldn't be caught or identified (yeah a hypothetical question). A large percentage said yes. Do you think this study was accurate?(sorry I don't have a link)

If you enjoy recieving and sending erotic emails. What is it that you like to talk about?
By that I mean is it more stories that you enjoy and fantasies about? Or it more of a one on one thing with the person your writing to?
Assuming that it's a person that you have no intention on ever meeting, how do you get started? Do you stert off with a basic introduction or do you get to the point of erotic likes and dislikes? And ofcourse the last question is do you know of any good place to meet people to do this with..Thanks

I'm really looking for personal experiences of those who have grown up w/o fathers in their lives.

My father abandoned my mother(and two sisters) while she was pregnant with me. He was abusive to her & honestly it was the best thing that could have happened to us all. But I wonder how I would be different if I had had a father growing up. I'm almost 28 now and I have 2 of my own children and they have a wonderful father....I honestly can't imagine doing this job on my own.
