The above is quote from a feminist I have engaged via email. Here it is in it's fuller context (to save the claims i'm taking it out of context).

"Firstly men don't ALWAYS have to pay and women don't ALWAYS get custody. These are things that we 'think' always happen when actually they don't. Family courts are specialist courts set up to focus on children's wellbeing and they work quite well in this country. Cases are heard and tried on a case by case basis and what happens is that factors which contribute to gender identities mean that men and women are more likely (because of how they are brought up and who they are) to have certain outcomes in terms of custody or whatever. It's no coincidence that the family court is the only place where women appear to have the upper hand (in terms of custody etc)......it's extremely important for this sexist society for women to remain the key childcarers!"
One moment she says "it's not happening" then she says "it must happen".
Equality? ;o)

We would probably mostly agree that the outcome of the Suffragette movement was a positive one. It acted as a catalyst and springboard for the Feminist movement, leading to the (partial, still incomplete) emancipation of women, and is leading to a society where women have equality of opportunity with men. (Although I realise that this is not the case globally, but progress is being made).

However, would we consider the suffragette movement to be a terrorist organisation?

If Yes, does this mean that we accept that the means can justify the ends?

If No, does this mean that we only define terrorists as people whose goals we disagree with, and call those whose goals we agree with as 'freedom fighters' or something similar?

Does the way we answer this question affect the way we define terrorism?

Serious Thoughts please.

I see some people in GWS make homophobic remarks about feminists who are female or male. Are they just anti-feminists or are they also the masculinists and men's movement followers?

Are gay men welcome in the masculinist and men's movements?

I've noticed that some anti-feminists target feminists in GWS (Gender and Women's Studies), and ask questions using the feminist's profile names. Often the questions are derogatory, negatively discussing the feminist's attractiveness and/or sexuality. But I rarely see anti-feminists being targeted by feminists-once in a while, but the attacks on feminists is a constant event, even though it is against Yahoo Community Guidelines. Usually the feminists being targeted, harassed and stalked are female as well.

Why do you think there are so many personal attacks of feminists in GWS, by anti-feminists:
-Are they "losing" a battle?
-Are they taking Q&A's personally?
-Do they feel justified in attacking anyone who dares to be a feminist?
-Are they stalkers in "real-life"?

What are your thoughts on Selective Abortion.
For instance, during IVF multiple Zygotes are inserted into the Uterus, and there are an increasing number of occurrences of large multiple births.

What I want to know is how many of you would agree/blame/condone/sympathize with/disagree/criticize/etc. a woman, in which more than 2 zygotes have implanted into the uterine wall and are viable, if she decided to selectively abort some or all but one zygote?

I put this ? in GWS, because I would like to see how feminists would respond. I asked in politics somewhere, and was surprised at the answers. I pondered using the death penalty in clear cut cases. How can we protect our children when the laws let these sickos out continually to make room for a guy who got caught with a joint and was only hurting himself? It is a proven fact that they cannot be rehabilitated, so why keep them around at all? Some tried to make the case that the death penalty would be too easy, and that they should suffer in prison. How does making them suffer protect our children in the future? Wouldn't it be wiser to just remove them from the earth permanently? Castration isn't feasible, as it's an act of power. What are your thoughts on outdated laws that aren't protecting our children?

Thank god for cell phones, or my kids would never get to walk to the store or a friends house. May be a false sense of security, but at least I can make sure they got there, etc.

What's up with (non-feminist blowhard Yale literary critic) Harold Bloom criticizing Lessing already?

"American literary critic Harold Bloom called the academy's decision 'pure political correctness. Although Ms. Lessing at the beginning of her writing career had a few admirable qualities, I find her work for the past 15 years quite unreadable ... fourth-rate science fiction'"?

I've only had sex with my gf 5 times and ive been utterly unable to attain orgasm.

ive read on numerous forums that the problem lies with the guy so what is wrong with me?

some details..

1. i find her very very attractive
2. i get erect (because of 1)
3. when we were doing it i was drugged with flu and cold medicine. (could that have affected me?)
4. she orgasmed and says she can feel me quite well inside of her.

5. All i felt was wet and warm and i dont know


Ive also read that something must be psychologically wrong with a guy who cant orgasm with a woman. is that true? am i crazy?

what i believe is wrong is that
1. im too small to feel anything but she denies that because b4 i told her i faked orgasms she said i was 8 inches (7 1/2) and that she felt me quite well. so that cant be it
2. she is either too wet and i dont get enough friction to feel anything or she is too big genitalia wise. *but i love wet its tasty*
3. or as stated b4 the cold meds could have messed wit

I asked a question about who should pay for the first date and many indicated that whoever suggests/asks for a date should pay. Do you feel that way about anybody who suggests doing anything (including girlfriends asking to go clubbin', eating, shopping, movies) or is this exclusive to men in a dating situation? And why?

Also, does this mean if the person likes to spend time to get to know you but doesn't have money, he needs to wait until he has enough to sponsor your company? So, basically your time costs money? And do you feel that it's OK for him to equally expect payment in other forms, since his time and money are valuable to him also?

Please break it down to me, as I have no understanding of the logic behind this argument.

Honest question. I don't buy any fashion magazines or anything like that, but a while ago I took a feminist-ish class that analyzed how women are presented in pop culture.

The stuff in the magazines was _disgusting_. All the women had makeup that, to me, just looked like bruises, and one woman was hung from the ceiling like a chandelier.

But what was even more disgusting to me was that all these girls were alternating between, "That's so wrong," and, "This is my favorite magazine!"

Power of the consumer, people. The industry gives you what you want, and you tell them by buying that crap and watching MTV.

You can't blame everything on 'societal pressure' either, because there's always someone else who agrees with you and you're ultimately the one forking over the cash and taking the thing home.

Stop buying Hooker magazine and miniskirts, and I guarantee you they will disappear.
