... then that must mean ladies who prefer confidence in a man want to be taken under his wing and be taken care of. Agree?

Then you got to admit that the man has more power in this situation.

Equality kills this very same structure dont you think?

Which is a real possibility if Republicans take as bad a beating at the Polls as the Beloved Leader Bush seems to be setting them up for.

Should we trust women again to get it ratified? Considering how dismally they failed before? Or should us guys take over the campaign and do it right this time?

We have been using this term frequently, then I realized definitions probably vary. What's your definition?

Over the last couple of years, I have seemingly run into a new (to me) trend. Many of the men I've met have expressed an interest in only marrying women who work. They have expressed a disinterest in being the person responsible not only for their children's upkeep, but their spouses, as well. However, to a man they also stated that they believe they should be the Head of their Household, and that men and women should fulfill traditional gender roles. The first man I heard this from, it didn't shock me because he is very religious and I knew where the thought process came from. The rest of the men were either anti-religious or non-Christian based religions such as pagan.
Is anyone else noticing this trend, or is it a geographic issue (I live in the buckle of the Bible belt, so I know that causes people to think a bit differently than in other regions)?

"If a man ignoring a woman's verbal 'no' is committing date rape, then a woman who says `no' with her verbal language but 'yes' with her body language is committing date fraud. And a woman who continues to be sexual even after she says 'no' is committing date lying...

"We have forgotten that before we began calling this date rape and date fraud, we called it exciting." -- Warren Farrell, in Myth of Male Power

Why is it that if the man you date/marry out educates and has more money than you, you're automatically considered a gold digger. If you out educate him and make more money, you're automatically perceived as a controlling b****. Has anybody else experienced this?

men will accept being a provider for someone who looks after the kids.. a woman has a greater likelihood of resenting it if she is in that position.

One could always claim men have inflicted the most damage to the movement, or even the trolls on Yahoo. But, I think it is a self inflicted wound due to the likes of Dworkin and MacKinnon. What do you think?

I could easily describe a situation, say a scene from the vilest pornography, in the most neutral, clinical terms (though I won't because it would be reported), and that that THAT is all one "really" sees and that "degradation" is just a judgment imposed by our culture and society.

Would that mean that "degradation" is just a social construct?

And if so, so what?

Would it mean that degradation doesn't exist?

Would it mean that "degradation" has no place in our discussions of human interactions? Would it mean foregoing moral judgment altogether?

Please don't go off on me for this, I'm just throwing it out there. now, I cherish my right to vote and everything, but it seems like as our rights as women increase the respect men have for us decreases. Women in America were never treated as bad as women in the middle east. We couldn't vote and stuff, but men held a high respect for women. Sexual harassment was much less prevalent then. Do you find this to be true?

If we classify any woman as feminist, strictly by the career she has, which:
1. previously was dominated by highly educated men,
2. or who as a women has proved herself successful pursuing goals fundamentalists or conservatives would pronounce as unacceptable for women;
how many prominent Republican women would have to be declared as feminists.

With us guys attraction is very simple. If a woman looks good, she has sex appeal.. period. But with women, its very different. A guy can be a 10 and have no sex appeal or he can be very ugly and have sex appeal.

Seems like women find sex appeal in certain personality or character traits in men.

I'm sure its different for every women, but what turns YOU on about a man? What does he have to have to give him sex appeal vs. "just a friend".??

Many women hesitate to call themselves 'feminist". This seems peculiar - or perhaps just misinformed - to feminists who insist that feminism is just about equality between the sexes.

Of course, the vast majority of women (at least in modern, Western, liberal democracies) whether or not they call themselves "feminist", want:
Equal right to participate in the political process and equal recognition of all civil liberties, such as freedom of speech,
Equal right to control their finances, to own property,
Equal opportunity in education and employment,
Equal access to housing and healthcare,
Equal protection from physical harm,

Basically equality in all the goods of civic life that make it possible to pursue their own idea of the good life in a diverse society.

Is it that so many feminists want their idea of "equality" imposed on every aspect of culture and society?

On language and custom, on religion and tradition, on , courtship, marriage, parenthood, family and relationships, on...

I caught an episode of Oprah of the other day. They were talking about the other women. They had a few women come on talking about their experinces as that. Most of them were remorseful. One women had wrote a letter to her husbands mistress. She had never met, never seen. She explained in her letter how she didn't undestand how another women can do that to another women. Knowing he was married with children. Help distroy and family. Some kind of unspoken female bond was broken I guess?

Pretty passionate letter. She made it sound like as a women she know better. With kids involved and all that. She should have known better. Her husband she knew was wrong from the get-go! Not much else she could say to him.

Is this something other women share? Is there a harder disappoitment when an other women hurts you like that? A stranger?
