So you go out on a date with a new guy to a decent restaurant. The meal is the only good part of the night, seeing your egotistical new date hasn’t stopped talking about themselves since the date started. After dinner he decides to tell you he doesn’t have any money, and that you should be able to take care of the dinner bill. As you rummage through your purse you come across your ultra handy shrink ray. Deciding his ego needs some deflating you zap him down to the size of a little bug. What would be your ultimate revenge to the little cheapskate that is now screaming at you at the top of his little lungs?

Very few modern women marry for love. In the olden days, women marry men regardless of whether they have a car, or a degree, or a career, a condominium or even a credit card.

Today, most women ask what car they drive before they agree to go on a date. They ask what credit cards they carry before they go for dinner. They ask what job do the men hold before they bring them home to visit their parents.

Isn't it about time you ladies rejected cultural expectations and removed these symbols of oppression?

I say yes.

In general? Or do feminists consider this to be another "social construct"?

One is a boy, one is a girl. Which is which and why?

No catches. One is male, one is female.

What proportion of feminists are fat bespectacled lesbians?

Just wondering. That's the stereotype anyway.

excuse for their sometimes rude behaviour??
If most men can control their sex drive well enough, why do women burst out in anger when the hormonal changes strike them ??
After all, both cases, sex drive for men and PMS for women seem pretty similar, right??

I'm just sort of curious about people who weren't raised by a feminist. Were you in college? What was it in you that said I want to be part of that?

Since I was raised with the ideaology, I think its important to point out that my Mom loved my Dad, we took showers and even shaved our pits, we wear make-up and enjoy shopping (my Mom said this was not lookin good for the man, but more a way of self expression and just lookin good for yourself). We even love to nurture our children. Being raised in the 70's, my Mom thought it was important for me to grow up knowing that just because I was female didn't mean I was any less valuable than a male. Period. I mowed the lawn, took out the trash, picked up dog poo, used power tools, you name it, drive motorcycles, and I can spit a watermelon seed farther than anyone.

This is why I'm curious how you came into this and how you incorporate into your daily life. I don't even think about it, you know? It was just our way of life.

It has been stated today in responses to questions that men cannot control themselves when it comes to sex. Men have responded that they have difficulty controlling their urges.
Do they just not try??? Or is it because society has given men the ok to just let those feelings loose?

according to many religions, virginity is very important, not only to women, but men too. so why is it that it's always the women that are shunned for not being virgins, while men are considered "powerless" and without control over their sexual urges (as some have claimed)?

why don't men value their virginity?

Ah, The World is Spinning!! has asked the tall ladies for their say, this is for those under 5'5!
Say one positive thing about being short and something about the challenges of being short.

I am 5'2. I never have to worry about leg room or being cramped on planes or in cars.
I really dislike having capri pants fit like trousers!!

I open doors to women, I let them to go in somewhere first. I would pay a dinner, not my girlfriend or female friends. I'm not violent against women. I think women are much much smarter than men, so I let women to choose stuff and ideas. even on here yahoo! answers I only give Best answer to females. if a woman wants something, then I will obey her. and a lot more nice things like I love to hug with women and I always listen to them. is all this a good thing to do?

I heard that feminism started cause women didnt wanted that someone else is opening doors for them. what is so wrong with that? anyway I'm staying this gentleman. actually all my close friends are females.

I would like to skip all of the gut reaction answers like "men do it too". I got it, it's clear that the phenomenon occurs in both directions. What brought this question to mind was seeing a photo of Salman Rushdie (60ish) and Padma Lakshmi (40ish)... and of course the obvious Anna Nicole life fiasco. However even short of that this summer my son is more heavily into tennis so we are spending time at country clubs. Even at age 14 he "laughs" at the orange skinned hard-bodied trophy wives and the odd looking, overweight or otherwise objectionable men they are with. He wondered aloud on the way home one day, how sad it would be to live with someone you had nothing in common with and weren't really attracted to. I was at a loss to explain...

I'd prefer serious thought and discussion only please. If a respondent would prefer to email off line that's fine as well. If you're a trophy wife and you can accept that I'd love to hear from you. Thank you.

Ha. I don’t mean only conservative Catholic, but any grandparent or older relative who grew up in more traditional times, when women didn’t have much choice, and who still think in traditional or religious or conservative ways.

My grandmother told me stories about how much she loved school and how much she wished she could have kept going (she couldn’t afford to). Instead, she married and had four sons, and married a second time after being widowed. Though she’s a strict Catholic and she and I avoid religious and political talk because we disagree and this makes for awkward conversation, she encourages me to obtain as much education as possible, be independent, do my own thing, and not worry about marriage or stress over men and relationships.

Peggy McIntosh writes in “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” (http://seamonkey.ed.asu.edu/~mcisaac/emc598ge/Unpacking.html ), an essay in which she draws parallels between white and male privilege, that “Through work to bring materials from women's studies into the rest of the curriculum, I have often noticed men's unwillingness to grant that they are overprivileged, even though they may grant that women are disadvantaged. They may say they will work to improve women's status in the society, the university, or the curriculum, but they can't or won't support the idea of lessening men's. Denials that amount to taboos surround the subject of advantages that men gain from women's disadvantages. These denials protect male privilege from being fully acknowledged, lessened, or ended. …

[W]hites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege, as males are taught not to recognize male privilege. So I have begun … to ask what it is like to have white privilege. (cont.)
