How to handle him?
I know this guy who is a cop who keeps staring at girls when they enter office and leave office. He is mostly standing below the building or sometimes near the lift of the building. HeSTARES at women so much that they tend to look at him. Then he smiles at them. He is like a stalker. Women get irritated with him. Yesterday one girl shouted at him for STARING at her. He SHOUTED back at her saying that i see THOUSAND FACES in a day. Why would i look at you. It was his mistake and yet he shouted. How to handle such people who are STALKERS and yet DEFEND themselves by SHOUTING.

I recall an episode or Roseanne where Darlene was having a baby. The baby was premature and both her and her husband were spazzing because the baby was struggling. (I forget what happened exactly)

I just recalled the father (John Goodman) saying "Davis, I know your scared for the baby too, and I know it's not PC, but you need to be the man, and be strong for Darlene.


Is this sexist, or would most feminists agree sometimes a man need to be a man in that sense.

This is how it was explained to me by my parents. Men are hard and strong, and women are caring and sensitive. They need to other to balance things. (Just to avaoid being called sexist or whatever.)

What's the point? They are uncomfortable and expensive? What are women trying to prove?

dominant = strong, independent, assertive, not controlling and possessive or abusive
submissive = yielding, altruistic, not a masochistic doormat

i think feminists are cool, i think men & women should be equal in the workplace but in relationships......don't you agree that the divorce rate wouldnt be as high if one person was more.....submissive?
also, do you think its a natural thing for women to be submissive (i.e. biological and not cultural)? i do because i love doing things for other people and it makes me feel natural and more feminine.....just wondered if any other women felt like this too?

thanks for answering :)

Every animal on the planet reproduces...

isn't it time to admit that both sexes contribute to the event and expect more than an "oh wow look at me" attitude?

Hypocrisy is the act of condemning another person, where the stated basis for the criticism is the breach of a rule which also applies to the critic. Though hypocrisy is frequently invoked as an accusation in debates, a few theorists have studied the utility of hypocrisy, and in some cases have suggested that the conflicts manifested as hypocrisy are a necessary or even beneficial part of human behavior and society.

In general magazines for women revolve around making men happy. On the other hand men's magazines have a few words on their pages about women. Some of them will feature a woman on the cover in a sexy pose, but their magazines will almost never focus on how to communicate with women, how to win women over, or have any of the types of articles women’s magazines tend to have on the opposite sex, like "Cosmopolitan".

How is possible that this continues still today in the twenty first century? And what is sad is that there is a big market for this kind of reading material.

What happened to a feminist magazine (don't remember the name) that was quiet successful during the 80/90's (I think Gloria Steinman was on of the directors, but not sure about this)???

Are there some women's magazines that you know about that do not talk about "how to get a man in 15 minutes and such (lol)?

Multiple questions in one, sorry.

Hypothetical scenario:

You have a young child, they are due to start school. You are allowed to choose their teacher. There are two candidates, and the only information you have is that one is a man and one is a woman. Who would you choose?

Come on, be decisive, this your child!

Rep. David Almond, Republican-North Carolina, resigned from the House this week after "expos[ing] himself in front of a female employee and chas[ing] her around the room, yelling 'Suck it, baby, suck it.' ... Almond was the vice chairman of the House committee on children, youth and families" (http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/56796/ ). Why does this not surprise me. Doesn't it just make you feel safer to know these are the types of men making laws and decisions about *children* and *families*?

I apologize for my rape question that was asked in anger. My stats, incorrect and corrections LATER cited, didn't convince some and I respect that.
I'm glad that I got rhetoric going though. Even though I didn't agree with all, you made me think about what I was saying as well. And admittedly, the stats I quoted were OLD.

That being said, I want to ask - by just seeing the word RAPE; what does that mean to you? What can people like me do to help in preventative ways or educate that all men/women aren't out to do this?

What can I do to show others that saying this word isn't a joke and not be used to cover up for a mistake?

Another long one - sorry. But appreciate your input.
