Sometimes when I am close enough to get the scent of a white woman's hair, I become instantly turned on in a very raw, primal way. This has only happened with white women, so I'm wondering.

Do they imply a different level of "closeness" ?

Marion Jones is probably the most famous woman track & field athlete of recent times. To see her downfall like this was very disappointing. I used to think of her as an honest, admirable woman.

Has this set back women's athletics? How will Marion Jones make up for all of the damage she's done to young girls that looked up to her?

She will probably have her pictures/feats taken out of museums, will lose any chance at a Hall of Fame nomination, and her name will be tarnished forever. Do you think she deserves the possible jail time?

Is the fear of being called a sl*t or a wh*re the main reason why women (or especially teenage girls) are so generally unwilling to have sex? Because I have always been under the impression that women/girls are just naturally more hesitant towards sex, like they’re really not as interested in it or not as horny as men/boys. I’m aware that reasons for this might stem from fear of pregnancy or the fact that they want more of an emotional connection than a purely sexual one. But a lot of women seem to argue that the fear of being called a sl*t is the main thing holding them back from being as sexually willing as men. Is that true?

Ladies...how many of you shave EVERYTHING for the men in your life because they like it? I am not talking about 'trimming', I mean shaving it bald (like a little girl?) That concerns me when they want it that way!

What about what you ladies like? What should they shave for you? I say their faces... if there is stubble (it's the same thing as a woman with stubble on her legs), their Armpit hair and Butt hair...EEWWww!

Sure... our MEN need hair in certain places (chests & legs ) because that makes them 'men', but Women have hair in certain places that make us Women.
Why are we suppose to get rid of our hair when we are expected to accept their hairy 'whatevers'... no matter what. It seems to be 'the thing' for women to shave 'everything'.

Ladies...if your man wants you to shave ALL...make HIM shave ALL of his 'stuff'. Bet he will change his mind after that request!

I see it every day. A white baby in a stroller being pushed by a....black nanny.

The career white mom is away at work while another woman rears her children. No wonder the kids have so much issues when they grow up.

Usually if couple has reached their kid limit why is it usually the guy who has to get a vesectomy. Why doesn't the woman who will actually be the one getting pregnant and having the kids just get their tubes tied. Or are women really just so paranoid that they just have to keep tabs on their man and make sure they don't get some floozy pregnant? I know it's not really reversible for women but still i often wonder.

"My guess is the point of the "male-basher" label is that I'm supposed to back down... ditto buzzwords like "aggressive" and "*****," among others. Someone throwing those words up does not do so by accident. They are trying to trigger a meta-message, to get our goody-goody, desperate-for-acceptance inner girly-girl to take over. Guess what? I've got that little twit gagged, I was sick of her mealy-mouthed whining holding me back!" -- Erica Jackson

I did a very bad thing yesterday to PJ. I answered a question by hala here and I said that PJ was stalking me and harassing me in YA and email and he did Not do it! I thought PJ was the person who did it because the name and avatar were so close..I hit him because I thought he was some one else..

PJ did Nothing to me Ever and I want to say in here that I was Totally wrong to him!

I realised this when I read an email from PJ asking me why I said that and I looked at his profile and the profile of the creep that I had blocked and I saw what I did to him and I was shaking and crying and emailed him back to apologise and say what happened.

He forgave me Like That and than told me about losing his account:

Please don't dismiss this as a joke before looking at the sources because this is serious.

At least two academic studies have shown that men are coerced into sex almost as much as women.

One, appearing in the peer reviewed journal 'Sex Roles', conducted at Washington University:
http://www.washington.edu/newsroom/news/1999archive/07-99archive/k072699.html

"Overall, 34 men (21 percent of the male participants) and 36 women (28 percent) reported being recipients of one or more of five types of unwanted sexual contact. The study also showed that men who experienced unwanted sexual contact reported more symptoms of depression than the other males in the study."

And another study, in the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality conducted at the University of Guelph shows the same:
http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=f926b44a-39c9-4c7d-bc44-24001f40c213

"A study of 518 university students found that 38.8% of men reported being pressured into a range of sexual activity."

Official Shrub.com has been doing a series of discussions on racism, and the latest article about racism is titled "If you have to say "i'm not racist" chances are you are".

Here's a quote from the article:
"A trend that you can’t help but notice if you follow any sort of racial issues is that when white people do something racist, they almost always include in their apology, “I’m not a racist”. Most of you should know the Michael Richards “but I’m not a racist!” protest in his apology after he was caught on tape being racist. But it’s not just the celebrities who pitch this line, it’s average people as well." http://blog.shrub.com/

It made me wonder the same thing about sexism. If you have to say "i'm not sexist", does that mean you are being sexist? Why or why not?

""Imprisoned in every fat man," claimed Cyril Connolly, "a thin one is wildly signaling to be let out." Connolly, himself a literary mandarin of considerable girth, made this observation half a century ago in The Unquiet Grave (1945), but his dictum easily summarizes Hollywood's current philosophy on weight. A fat man is a failed thin one. Hollywood has taken the Duchess of Windsor's remark that "No woman can be too rich or too thin," and made it a royal decree that applies to both sexes. Our stars have never been richer or thinner.

May one lone fan raise an objection? I don't mind the eye-popping salaries. Only a cheapskate would resent eight-figure per-film fees to artists of such magnitude as Jim Carey or Julia Roberts. Where would Hollywood stars be without their mansions, ranches, and villas? What I miss are the full-figured actors of yesteryear"...

For me, i admit this is why I myself am a feminist. I struggle sometimes with the sense that all people should be equal and my hurt feelings over men in my past.

I am contemplating a website - one with an 'antifeminist' zone, a 'feminist' zone, a men zone, and a women zone... but primarily - a 'humanist/equalist' zone. It would consist of an antifeminist Co-Admin and a feminist Co-Admin (for balance)...

Would you look into joining such a site, knowing that you would be FREE to express your views of moving away from hateful & angry labels and forward into a TRUE equality seeking movement..?

Why does my college Student President (a feminist) refuse to engage the position of a "men's officer" when the same person supports & promotes the already existing position of "Women's officer"?
(these positions are basically 'officers' to give focused attention to their position (women's, minorities, etc.), so a men's officer could focus on helping men avoid false rape accusations, encountering intimate partner violence, discussing child birth options, family courts, etc. etc.)

It seems to me, that men would have something very worth while to engage in this - yet the feminists at my college have stated to clearly they will not even consider it.

Where is men's equality again..?

Some contributors would love to go back the way men and women relationships were in the past. This means woman in the kitchen, and man, being the dominator

So for people that think this way, Imagine you had a free ticket to the past where you could have your ideal power scenario, but of course, there would be no TV, no computer, no electricity, no cars etc...would you accept that ticket to the past anyway?
