My definition includes career & finances, but that's only half of the equation.

I have noticed this from observing female news reporters, female politicians, professors etc.

Why do women feel that they have to kill every single nurturing maternal female attribute in order to gain positions of leadership?

If they become exactly like the "evil" men (and in many cases even worse, since they are more prone to "catiness" than men), how is this progress for human society?

How do you feel about gray hair? I find women who don't dye their hair and leave it gray so confident and their hair so beautiful. I think it's a part of embracing your age and who you are, and I know it's easy for me to say because I'm not there yet, but what are your thoughts?

Below are 4 answers to various questions, by the same person. What do you think of this person? I realize this is slightly immature, but I am curios if other are offended also?


“Men have much harder lives than women. Women don't do jack squat. Especially American women. Useless leeches. I have not ever married or dated an American woman. I cannot even bear them, let alone be near them. I don't know how you American guys put up with their crap LOL. Get a foreign girl and see what a lady is supposed to be.”

“MEN'S RIGHTS!!! About time! Rebuke the feminists, all men. I have a heck of a time dealing with guys. Getting into fistfights and verbal competition and ego contests with them is enough for me! I don't need women trying to be men. Because what is a guy supposed to do with a woman trying to be a guy? Does he hit it? Does he treat it like a man or a woman? It's too confusing LOL”

There's a lot of effort from the anti-feminists to get feminists to do non-actionable things to make things better and more fair, like pointing out inconsistencies, fallacies, and double-standards and hoping they'll take note. I know I'm doing the opposite of preaching to the converted, but I thought I'd give this question a try anyway.

In the animal kingdom... are female animals treated the same way as their male counterparts? Or is one gender always more superior than the other?

Since humans are really just animals with the biggest pair of brains... and we are all born with animal insticts... what makes some feminists think there will ever be equality?

Can you name a specie of animal/insect that has total male-female equality?

I'm not referring to extremes here, I'm talking about incidence. Do men or women have a higher incidence of having a messed-up romantic relationship be hard to get over because of what the other person did during the relationship and/or is doing after the relationship?

Do we really need all the pampering, shopping and maintenance to maintain our inherent beauty as we age?

Ok, many men are angry over some of the unfairness in their lives, whether it is to do with losing money in divorces, losing kids, having next to nil reproductive rights and so on, but have noticed that many men just want their efforts appreciated and want respect as well.
So, what are some of the things that you, as a man want respect and appreciation for?

They want women to stay home and look after children and house. If there is a divorce they don't want to pay child support or alimony despite the fact the woman has devoted her life to being a SAHM.
They want custody of said children of this union because this is the males rights.
Something certainly points to inequality in this movement wouldn't you say?

There was a wave of protests and a public outcry against this humorous ad! Can anyone tell me what is so wrong about it? I loved it and actually went to Carl Jr the next day to try the flat buns... they were delicious!

This evening I went to a meeting.
Key note speaker was a pastor from Zimbabwe.
He spoke of the anguish he felt for his fellow countrymen.
Of him having a knock on his door at midnight from a man whose wife was about to give birth and he couldn't get her to the hospital as he had no fuel for his car.
Of him going to a home where the family of 4 children were sick because they had not eaten anything for 2 days as there is nothing to eat.
Of him standing all day in a queue for bread only to discover there was none-this happens on a daily basis.
Forgive me for posting this question on this forum but it is the only one I post on.
So what can we do??
Maybe rather than ask banal questions, we are bright as individuals, we could do something to affect change.
Americans, you are soon to have an election and it appears that we in The UK are. Let's do something positive and put the power of The Internet to some good use.
Not preaching- just moved by the plight of this nation.

Don't women read the Bible, and see how badly they are looked upon in it? They still get the shaft when they want to be ministers or priests, so why support the misogyny that Christianity represents?

I always wondered what it means. Does it mean she looks mysterious? She's a "foreigner?" I see that word used frequently on here to describe a non-American woman. Why can't American woman be exotic looking? Or is it usually "other than" your own race/nationality? Or non-white?

I'm considering getting a couple of new tattoos, and a few piercings. We have a good relationship, but he's not into body art like me. He doesn't dislike what I have already, he was against it at first, but now says he finds them sexy. I'm going to do it regardless, but don't want him to feel left out either. Should I just go ahead and surprise him, or tell him first? One of the piercings he will probably REALLY enjoy...LOL! And one of the tats will have his name inscribed along with our kids. The other tat has to do with my brother and sis. So, see, something for everybody!!! I'm an independant thinker, but have respect for his opinion as well.....just unsure of how to proceed. I know its my body to do with what I please, but he DOES have to look at it!!

http://www.ifeminists.net/introduction/editorials/2005/0420sacks.html

"For example, the National Scruples and Lies Survey 2004 polled 5,000 women in the United Kingdom for That's Life! magazine. According to that survey, 42% of women claim they would lie about contraception in order to get pregnant, regardless of the wishes of their partners."

This is just one poll, of course, but it's not the only one to unearth such findings. The editor of that magazine correctly suggested that this is equivalent to "playing Russian roulette with people's lives," and yet feminists seem to think this is rare and/or not worth worrying about. I personally know two people who were trapped like this. Neither were high earners, but both women wanted to get married, and they thought "missing" a few of their pills would be a good step in that direction.

So we know the problem exists. The real question is, why do feminists feel the need to downplay the severity? Spitefulness? Embarrassment?
