Gender Studies - October 2007

Lets say theres a man who rarely speaks with women. Claims to have a grudge against women and his own mother. He most of the time treats both sexes with respect yet he seems to have focused on one woman and is constantly belittling and trying to put her down/bully her. She was always kind to him for the most part but he seems to take out his agression on her, why do you think he focuses on one particular woman to do this to and why is he doing this to her?

I notice some are very respectful and some are disrespectful. Why are the ones who are disrespectful like that?

Both men and women, please answer with honesty here, how many of you were physically/emotionally or sexually abused as children? Details don't matter, just am wondering with so many people that post here, whether more men or women were abused.

The annoyance reaches its peak when girls are 12-13 and when they first started college (18-19).

I don't mean to be racist but, Caucasian sorority girls seem to be the greatest culprit. Talking in an incredibly annoying, whiny, "kitty-cat" voice. Is this supposed to be cute or something?

I have heard that feminism is a 'hate cult'. Why do feminists (I use the term loosely) hate men and normal women? Is it some kind of disorder and if so can it be cured?

To my understanding, Feminism is all about the independent woman. Female financial independence, freedom of individual choice, etc.

But there is a side-effect to this ideal, in that male independence (or rather lack of expected female dependence) is expected as if to even things out.

If a woman is successful in her career, and in turn has a successful mate, she no longer needs to "earn her keep" by doing all household chores, and instead expects equal effort in both financial matters and otherwise, as a side effect, the male partner is forced to relinquish his 'command' so to speak of the household in favor of equal governing, and again, equal effort.

Do (some) men who oppose feminism, fear the independence of their partners and the independence expected of them?

(For the record, I am not talking about role-reversal in which the woman becomes the "head of household" and expects her male partner to become dependent on her and 'earn HIS keep', but rather where neither

Ladies, I like women who wear flowing skirts, smell nice, and don't believe that doing cooking and cleaning is an insult to their gender.
Are there women like this or am I a dinosaur who needs to catch up to the times?

If I am dinosaurish, why do women view doing these things as bad, when I would be truly grateful to a women who did this
for me?

Thanks for your feedback.

I only here women say "rape is not about sex". How do you know? Women don't WANT rape to be about sex.. but it is. My cousin is a rapist.. in jail now.. good thing.

Saying rape is not about sex is like saying robbery is not about money.

If I would be given the choice of being raped or killed, I would choose death.

Rape is NOT about sex, rape is about denigration, is telling the other person you are nothing, you are subhuman and I have the power to take away all your dignity.

Rape is serious and people that don't take it seriously make me think that they could be potential rape criminals themselves. Creepy

Or could be that they just lack empathy?

Do you think they are serious? Or do you think is their way of "having fun" by posting such comments?

Last I checked "equal" means the same. Like 2 = 2 or 7 = 7. If men and women were equal, why would men be able to dominate the world so easily while women have to fight so hard to get power?

Why is it that when you get the best woman and the best man in any skill area or field, the man is better 99% of the time?

Why is the smartest man in the world smarter than the smartest woman?

Why is the strongest man in the world stronger than the strongest woman?

Equal means the same. 2 + 2 Always equals 4. And 4 Always equals 4.

Man + Man does not equal woman. Woman + Woman does not equal man. Woman does not equal man. Man does not equal women. So where is this "equality" idea coming from???

Prove me wrong on this. No insults or sarcastic remarks... just prove me wrong (if you can).

The father usually is better able to provide for the child although the mother was the primary care giver. Are they both equally good reasons for child custody considering they are both needed to properly raise a child?

...and when guys have their emotional moments, it's taken more seriously.

Why can't it be equal? I don't understand?

Women SHOULDN'T be concerned with what men think because that's male domination and leads to internalizing sexist oppression.

And men SHOULD be concerned with what women think because men should respect women and recognize the validity of their concerns, wants, and needs, otherwise he's a misogynist.

Do I have it right?

Like sometimes questions related to social justice but not always feminist?

I really like it in here and I'm comfy posting here. And my contacts really are good people.

I just want to ask if it was ok with y'all though.

Thanks so much :)
