Purely speaking in terms of appearance/looks/body

Personally I'm not so sure things would really be that different. War seems to be IMO less about testosterone and more about desire for power and the ego, which seems to be present in politicians of all types. Just that it happens that most politicians are men.

I think things would be pretty much about the same.

the same about sexist ads, literature, and speeches? Should sexist ads be outlawed, like racist ads, literature and speeches?

For example, for a number of years (in the late 1980's) there was an ad for the Ku Klux Klan outside of a small town, off an interstate, near a large city. It wasn't taken down, it fell down.

I'm not suggesting they can't meet, the Klan still marches in that town and many other cities nearby, when they perform Klan "recruitments". They are well protected by the police.

Would girls be less afraid to answer questions in class if boys were in separate classes? Would students be less distracted by flirting and more focused on their schoolwork?

Yesterday I stopped to help a woman, about 25 years old, not very attractive, who had a flat tire and a flat spare tire. I immediately got out of my truck and grabbed my tank of compressed air. I walked up to her and asked if she needed some air for her spare. She said yes, and then I noticed she had a bumper sticker that said "women who seek only to be equal to men lack ambition". I asked her if it was her car and she said yes. I replied that I came prepared, why didn't she ? Aren't you ambitious enough ? I turned around and left. She gave me the finger as I drove off. I ignored it.

I kinda felt bad later, like I should have helped her even if she is sexist, but I really just couldn't go through with being the man performing the man's role for a woman who refuses hers !

I sincerely hope she gives it some thought, but probably not. She likely will just hate men more because I held her accountable for her actions.

I've been a feminist prochoice pro-ERA man for a few decades now. I recently ignited a discussion (not the 1st, I've been curtly told) about a man's right to choose in cases of unwanted pregnancy. Shocked to my core by many feminists' rather heartless, even nasty & hateful, answers to my questions, I am left wondering what feminism means to you?

As the feminist who taught me said.

"Feminism is about self- determination. Its me and its my body. I take responsibility for what goes into my body be it food or an unprotected penis. If I depend upon someone else (a man) I am surrendering my fate to him. I am the one who gets pregnant not him. I am the one who must suffer birth. Not him. My body changes not his.
I am the one responsible for that child not him. I will not entrust my fate to another. I can only lose. If we agree to a partnership, fine. If not, fine. Its my decision not his.
And similarly I will not decide for him."
That's a feminist, if you ask me.
I'm asking you?

I know some of you have seen the commercial on tv about a hair product featuring blondes vs. brunettes. What if it was flipped and a commercial was featuring dark skin vs. light skin black women. Would it be accepted? Would it cause chaos and controversy? If it's okay for the blonde and brunette feud, shouldn't it be okay to feature dark skin vs. light skin feud in a commercial? Or is it not okay and more disturbing then the blonde and brunette feud? Is judging hair color less offensive then judging skin color. I would love for the blondes, brunettes, and black women to provide their input. How do you all feel about the feud?

Infants stun scientists with ‘amazing' insights
Babies only look clueless — they know a lot more than you think

Recently, scientists have learned the following:

At a few days old, infants can pick out their native tongue from a foreign one.
At 4 or 5 months, infants can lip read, matching faces on silent videos to "ee" and "ah" sounds.
Infants can recognize the consonants and vowels of all languages on Earth, and they can hear the difference between foreign language sounds that elude most adults.

Infants in their first six months can tell the difference between two monkey faces that an older person would say are identical, and they can match calls that monkeys make with pictures of their faces.
Infants are rhythm experts, capable of differentiating between the beats of their culture and another.

This is not a question about psychology, sociology nor philosophy, but rather about Your personal concept of 'humanity', and how Your code of ethics and morality defines You as an entity.

valuables, and intends to rape the woman, should the man be EXPECTED to defend the woman ?

Keep in mind the butch lesbian is really big, maybe a tranny, has no weapon to speak of except maybe the SO, if that is considered a weapon, and they are in a secluded place where no one else can help.

Since the money that men make is by far more likely to be spent on, or by, women than the money that women make is spent on, or by, men shouldn't the whole basis for this so called unequal pay propaganda be seen for what it really is, just the usual feminist entitlement ideology ?

Oh wait I forgot for a second, the vast majority of feminists don't have a man to spend money on them. Well anyway the question still stands.

I'm sure I'm not the only guy out there who has ever considered wearing a woman's jacket before. Lots of women can enjoy wearing men's clothing without any social stigma, but if a guy wore a skirt to school he'd end up in the Principal's office.

Some places in the world, like the malls in China, have both "men" and "women" clothing mixed in together. You can see both men and women trying on the same shoes and such. It was quite a liberating experience while I shopped there.

Do you think they'll ever do that here?

I have seen assertions that the feminist movement is responsible for this phenomenon. How so? Connect the dots for me, please.

I see a very different reason for the need to have two incomes. I'll post it before putting this question to a vote.

Only reference I can even find to something like this is the myth about the Amazons in Greece. There is no scientific evidence to reinforce the myth of a warrior-woman dominated society, to date.

into 2 spun kids (both under 2 1/2) when she gets home. She does not like to eat before going to sleep, some type of diet no-no so I am told, she could care less about flowers, candy or other material junk. I work my 40+, make dinner for the kids at night and have them ready for bed when she gets home (she is a gymnastics coach so she works until later in the evening since the kids she coaches are in school all day) Before she loved dressing in lingerie 4-5 times a week and the attention she would get by being in it, but the kids have sucked the life out of any type of spontinaity, dont know, something about getting 2 toddlers to bed after dealing with teenagers all evening kills the want to do anything but watch some tv and go to bed. Any recomendations would be appreciated. Back/foot rub? Drawn bath? mixed drink? running out of ideas.
