Gender Studies - October 2007

Yes, I can understand that it is against some people's morals. Some people find that accepting money for any service of a sexual nature (whether it involves actual sexual contact or not) compromises their sexual integrity. Fine. Sexuality is a very personal thing.

But why do I see so much anger? When I see questions on yahoo Q & A (not so much in gender studies as in other areas) so many people seem to have a lot of seething anger. Seems unneccesary, since, if it's not for you, you really don't have to be involved. So why so much venom and name calling?

And if so, which kind of work, or which studies.

I'm pro-choice. However, I'm often disturbed about men not having any say in whether to keep a child or not. Sometimes the woman decides to keep the child when the man is not ready to be a father hence the child suffers. I know it takes two to get pregnant and yes I know it's a woman's body and nobody should control her body. But I also think the man is completely cut off from the decision making process, although the responsibilities will have to be equally shared-- which is not fair.

What are some of the ways we can make this process more equal? I'm taking about ONCE THE WOMAN IS PREGNANT. Don't give me the "they should have protected sex" etc.

And please eliminate the women vs male bashing and try to concentrate on solutions.

That some feminists think children are just parisites that their mother has a right to terminate at her will and for what ever reasons she has, if any?

I answered a question obviously asked by a male about a female becoming President. He went on & on about where a woman's place should be: in the kitchen, raising children, etc. & you get my drift. I answered referring to him as a male chauvinist pig. Now can you please tell me why he was allowed to pose such a question & yet I was not allowed to refer to him as a male chauvinist? Is it really still a man's world?

It seems that the feminist idea is that if a man embraces his manly traits he is a pig headed caveman. I am not talking about the outright misogamist and I know that some feminists don’t feel this way, but the far left whacko feminists usually think it is OK to celebrate woman hood and at the same time promote anti-male stereotypes.
Why?

Are you happily married?

Have you ever divorced anyone else before?

Did you ever abort?

Did you ever cheat?

Did you have affairs since you were small?

Did you sleep with one man or believe in being with one man all your life?

Did you follow the ten commandments?

Did you covert?

Did you harm your kids or your husband?

Did you commit adultery?

Were you a great super mom and a great wife or do you aim to be one and make your marriage work forever?

Do you aim to choose a partner well or got a partner husband who will be with you for life?

Etc etc etc traditional vs modern a mix.

I am vying to keep a bet that the anti feminists or the traditional / modern women will be winners and these so called fanatical feminists will lose.

Unless they lie and you ofcourse know who is lying or who is dishonest since everyone knows everyone someway or the other through emails and personally on yahoo answers.

Happy answering.

Were you immediately attracted to your partner?

I'm asking this based on the following quote that KD posted..

"If the person makes your heart leap when they walk into the room or gives you butterflies, then that is NOT the person for you."

That I found very interesting. Essentially, is 'love at first sight' enduring?

You say women are best equipped to be wives and mothers. How do you explain people like Britney Spears or the women whose 3 year old autistic son was found playing out on the highway when she was passed out high as a kite on her couch? Would you argue that they are best equipped to care for their children? In a survey by advice columnist Ann Landers in the 1970s, 40% of mothers said if they could have it to do all over again they would have not had children. And what about women like me who simply do not want to have children, nor ever will?
Also, this question is more for the men: Why is Baby #1's assertion that women are best fit to care for children, and not men, not interpretated as misandrism? Many male "anti-feminists" here talk about how feminism is the culprit of unfair child custody agreements for fathers, yet Baby #1 doubts your capacity to care for your own children, and she is looked upon with googley eyes by many male "anti-feminsists" here. I don't understand it.

Wouldn’t it make sense that guys who grew up with a sister would be much less nervous around girls than guys who had no sisters? Because it would just be a normal thing for them to interact with girls and they would view girls more like regular people instead of mysterious creatures? Yet this doesn’t seem to be the case. Why not?

(Also I could ask the same thing about girls with brothers)

I am about 5'8" and I weigh roughly 120 lbs. I eat healthy, and I am in better shape than most women I know. What is with these so-called "feminists" saying that my body is ugly because my boobs and my butt aren't big enough and so I'm not a "real woman". Oh I'm sorry! I guess I should run out and get breast implants to make the fembos happy! I think it's just pure jealousy myself.

By the way, this is nothing against feminists in general, because I am one myself. I am just sick of always being called ugly.

Ladies have you been shocked to find your feet that you are self concious about are highly sexy to others male or female ?

It is sad but funny that a lot of women go through life thinking that there feet are too big or too wide or too long to be attractive .

On the rare occassion a person male or female actualy see's there feet and compliments them . Has this happended to you ? Has more than 1 person said your feet are either cute, pretty , sexy or beautiful and up until that time you thought your feet were ugly ?

Don't want to be accused for plagiarism lol, so this was inspired by a similar question asked about men.

a top modelling agency turns down the winner of "Make Me A Supermodel" a british tv show. do you think that's right??
i think she's gorgeous, myself. and saying size 12 is "fat" is a bit damaging to young girls, imo.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=482872&in_page_id=1879

also, take a look at the size 12 and her competition, the one that the modelling agency says has a "sensational" body. they don't say her size... i'm thinking... maybe a 1 or 2??
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=418780&in_page_id=1773

i think this is great: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=483219&in_page_id=1879
using larger mannequins for their displays.

btw, these women that are a size 12 are within the healthy BMI range (they're around 19 i think). the skinny one is below healthy...

what do you think about this size issue???

An extraordinary event has just occured -- a father won a child-custody battle against the mother!

Also, the unfit-mother Ms. Spears has to pay child support and is already paying Mr. Federline alimony. Nice to see the roles reversed.

Another victory for Men's Rights! Another defeat for feminism and misandry!

What is your opinion of the father winning custody from an unfit mother?
