Gender Studies - September 2007

This question is for the men.

I hear a lot of responders who say things such as, "If it were a guy... therefore the girl should get the same...that is equality!"

What I'm wondering is, do you really think that women should be treated the same as men or are you taking such a position in an effort to balance legislated equality in which you feel women are given rights and privileges without the ensuing responsibilities - and that violates your sense of fair play?

Teen Boy covered in ketchup and cooking oil and sexually assaulted by three Girls.
Sex attack phone girls detained

The boy suffered extensive bruising
Three girls who sexually assaulted a boy during a three-and-a-half hour "happy slapping" ordeal have been given detention orders of up to four years.
The girls, two aged 17 and one 16, were convicted of false imprisonment and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.

Inner London Crown Court heard the victim, now 18, was stripped, punched and kicked while the attack was filmed.

It took place in a flat in Woolwich, south-east London, in March 2006.
The court heard that in a recording the boy could be seen being forced to sit in a cold bath while ketchup and kitchen oil was poured over him as he begged for mercy.

This kind of behaviour went far beyond even serious bullying

Judge Colin Smith

"One can tell, listening to that video, that the ordeal was being played out to a background

2) What is motivating this sexually based female on male violence, particularly violence directed towards male genitalia?

I think she's wrong. I personally adore the way the male body looks, everything including the scrotum. Do other girls feel this way?

What's up with masculine tomboy women trying to be like Steve-O or Johnny Knoxville.

http://shizzville.com/wax-beaver

This is disgusting and very unlady-like. The women even refer to each other as "man" and "dude".

Is this an example of Penis Envy at its finest?

Is this a result of feminism's attempts at masculinizing women (as it feminizes men)?

With at least three somewhat recent examples to cite, and using the logic that is often displayed here in GWS, I guess I could conclude that all republican males secretly want to have sex with male prostitutes, pages or men in public washrooms.

How legitimate is it to draw conclusions about an entire gender based upon isolated incidents found in the news? In their every day lives, do those people who make such accusations on this forum use the same kind of generalizations? If so...how is it working for you?

Let's say users on this forum did not display an avatar/pic and the username was non-gender based, would you be able to determine male or female based on the writing alone? This would exclude a specific question/answer which indicates a gender. Would our prose put us into a traditional gender role?

I hate domestic violence. If a man hits his wife/girlfriend because his dinner isnt ready, its just wrong.

But would it be ok for a man to hit a woman if he is being attacked and cannot hold her back?

I think women need men more...for example Bill Clinton cheated on Hillary many times with different women and she wouldn't divorce him. Also you see men with more than one wives before but you never see women with more than one husband and older men marry much younger women is much more popular than older women marry younger men.

I would ask, "why does it seem like almost every modern woman/girl is a slut", but from my 25 years of personal experience, there haven't been enough girls who aren't sluts to justify this version.

Girls have been skanks since before grade school, and they only get worse with age. I'm to that point where everywhere I go, every job I work, and every new girl I meet, I can't find a single girl around my age who isn't a used up little tramp. And worst of all, they are proud of it. They call themselves sluts, like it's the greatest title in the world.

I don't understand it. Maybe some modern women can explain it to me. All I abhor slutty girls, and I can't find a girl anywhere who isn't one. It's made me beyond bitter, and it makes me regret not being a pedophile or gay. Honestly, I don't think being a pedophile would solve my problem with as many of the modern girls turning slut before they turn tween as there are. 13 yrs old and pregnant, with parents who accept that, WTF?!

models that have an average waist of size 0! when the true size of most women is size 10 or higher!

Wouldn't they make more money if it was based on the sizes of real woman?

What is it that makes fashion focus on such thin and sickly looking girls?

In his novel "Native Son", Wright claims that Bigger Thomas is a product of our society.

In the article below, bell hooks, asserts that "young black males", the ones who compose the often misogynistic lyrics, do not live in "a self created cultural vacuum".

Do you agree or disagree? Why? What is your opinion on gangsta rap and the portrayal of women?

Absolutely no racist remarks will be tolerated.

I heard that feminism started because women didnt wanted that their man is opening doors for her, doing things for her and is carrying her like a true gentleman.
