Gender Studies - August 2007

First of all, as a male I'm all for gender equality. But why don't feminists realize there's so many double standards as well that are AGAINST men? If a man looks at scantily clad women or makes a remark about a woman, he's considered chauvinist or sexist. But if a woman makes a remark about men or checks out a shirtless man or romantic movie, she's allowed to. If a man remarks about the way a woman looks he's wrong but if a woman makes catty remarks about a man people look it over. If a man hits a woman its wrong but if a woman hits a man its okay. If a man wears a shirt making a remark about women, it's wrong and people look at him as a pig. If a girl wears a shirt about how boys are losers, scum, so forth, it's okay.

Don't get me wrong, I believe a man has no right to put his hands on a woman nor should he make a sexist remark. But I also think women don't have the right to (maliciously) hit men or make/wear such remarks or degrade males either. What's your opinion?

Can someone tell me if they feel the same way as I do. Every single cleaning,cooking, or baby commerical only shows a woman talking about how she is disatisfied with her current mop or duster or how she is excited to make the "new" recipie. The baby commericials are the worst, women only...changing feeding with the words " here is how to care for YOUR baby. I don't get it...please someone either agree or disagree with me and explain why. I think this is subtle role affirmation, and I am sick of it

Because where she lives, 7 out of 10(the last three are married and in their early 20s) men(in millions) men treat women like sex objects and slaves. This is in the USA.

How can she get over her hatred when she's surrounded by negative men who torture strangers and women she knows?

Time and time again you see women becoming outraged when they are labeled "sl..ts" for their behavior and even more furious when men get more respect for being players. Science has an explanation that women hate. Women are only able to produce 10-15 kids at best (and sometimes even die during childbirth) so they cant afford to waste their eggs on a loser. Their goal is quality. Men have tons of ammo and it never goes bad and much more testosterone. Their goal is quantity. That is it pure and simple. Thats how nature/god intended it to be and thats how it happens with most animals. Why do women try to impose poligamy on men when it means going against instincts and nature? I am so sick and tired of this... What are your thoughts?

What leads you to believe this? Give some examples of you being an "alpha female". What do you do when you meet a woman who is even more dominant than you?

A feminist has a greater risk of infidelity.
A feminist has a greater risk of divorce.
A marriage with kids to a feminist means three jobs between two people rather than two between two.
A feminist has a greater risk of non-cooperation and saying it's "independence".
A feminist has a greater tendency to blame everything on the man.

It's called a raw deal.

Do you agree 100%, do you think its all clishee, or is there some truth in it ?

LIVERPOOL, England -- an 11-year-old boy shot to death, allegedly by a hooded teenager on a BMX bicycle.
Rhys Jones, a cherubic-faced boy who liked playing tag and video games, was in a pub's parking lot kicking a soccer ball around with friends Wednesday when two youths rode by and fired shots.
Two youths -- 14 and 18 -- were arrested and freed on bail in the boy's killing, which came a week after a man in a nearby area confronted a gang of youths, who allegedly attacked his car, and was beaten so badly that he bled to death on his doorstep from a brain hemorrhage.

British law severely limits gun ownership by making it hard to get licenses. But illicit guns are available on the street, most of them smuggled from the Balkans and others modified collectors' weapons obtained within the country.

In other words, is any issue so important that insults or "one-upmanship" is required in a response?
Why is it always an us and them mentality?
Why the attacks and why the defensiveness?
Would we behave the same way, say the same things in the same way in an alternative, non-cyber space?

What do you think of polygamy if it was an equal right for men and women to practice and all parties involved participated out of free choice (of course the definition of free choice is debatable but let's not get hung up on that). Please try to answer without references to religious beliefs.

Why would you for it and why would you be against it?

What I mean is, if it is possible to fertilize your egg in a test tube then develop the embryo into a healthy baby in a special incubator and not have to get pregnant and go through the nine months, Would you choose that over pregnancy?

What is your reaction to this word, both males and females?

"Obviously the word "*****" is not only being used by young America but by people of all types. It is being freely used in television programs, on the radio and in publications. Even though the Federal Communications Commission does have “decency” standards regulating what can be broadcast – indecent material must not be aired from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. when it is likely that children may be watching, and obscene and profane material must never be aired – derogatory language that targets women isn’t filtered out. The FCC has defined broadcast indecency as “language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium, sexual or excretory organs or activities.” But apparently, the b word is not considered “offensive as measured by contemporary community standards.”

I recently had to fire a salesperson who could not make her numbers. She was given every opportunity. But, she literally could not see opportunities, she only saw the obstacles and got in her own way.

Feminism seems to be that way to me. Since a young woman today (in the US at least) has the oppotunity to accomplish literally everything a young man can -- why do feminists focus only on the percieved obstacles rather than encouraging young women to see the possiblities and opportunities and go after them?

Do you not agree that one reason young women have no interest in feminism (among others) is that they do see the many opportunities they have and would rather go after them than micro-analyze the pebbles in the road?

Strangely enough, this question has never before been asked. Let's face it, there have been some absolute classic questions and answers lodged since the Gender and Women's Studies Section first opened Our eyes as to the way others perceive the opposite sex to think and behave. Go back and research Your favorites, and then let Me know what 'tickled Your fancy', 'rattled Your chain', or 'pissed on Your chips'. This could be fun.
