Gender Studies - October 2007

She wants to be submissive to me but I instructed her that I would have none of this misogynistic BS. I demanded that she stand up to me and defy me if necessary, but she refused. How do I get her to not defy my order to defy me?

excerpt:

"Feminist Initiative is in disarray with the loss of several founding members who abruptly departed over the radical direction the party was taking. At its recent founding congress, for example, instead of tackling a mainstream platform as planned, the party presented proposals to abolish marriage and create "gender-neutral" names."


...Contains some shocking (not to me) information about how the supposed "fringe" group of radicals, not only have worked side by side with their "sisters" for YEARS, but how they took over when they rose to power.

Feminism ain't what it used to be. Unfortunately, the US is headed for the same catastrophy.

Ask yourself how many policies these radicals had already put into place in Sweden before they were exposed. Ask yourself how many radicals here in the US are doing the same as we speak.

Most people falsely believe the US ranks high (top 3) in gender equality. Are you surprised it's not in the top 10? Why or why not?

Not an anti-feminist by any means, but this is one thing I cannot quite comprehend.

There was a woman in her late 20s who was tired of being a virgin decided to lose it to her boyfriend Tom. Little did she know until she went to the doctor that her vagina wasn't developed for some reason(she didn't know that but she has been on hormone therapy because of low estrogen (everything else is normal except the estrogen) for years).

Anyway when she did have intercourse she experienced excruciating pain in her vagina and told Tom to stop but he wouldn't he'd cover her mouth and hold her down so she wouldn't move. She didn't want this to be a rape so she kept quiet biting down on something.

After that night she told Tom that she doesn't want to have vaginal sex again because it hurts like heck and they can have sex any other way. Well every time Tom went back where it hurt terribly bad and did what rapists do, hold down don't listen to the word NO and cover their mouth.

Why is it that some guys like Tom keep doing it when the girl says it hurts really bad?

"I'm not encouraging my son to beat girls up, I tell him that it's okay to punch them if they attack him (which the stupid feminist system has made him unable to understand), untill they become girls again. I actually assaulted one of his bullies at school (puled her hair, hit her in the stomach so on) , she didn't report me and that took care of the problem, I also threatened to rape her if she kept on harassing my son. AND I'M PROUD OF WHAT I DID
Behave like trash, get treated like trash. When you go back to baking cookies and little bÎtches goes back to playing with dolls, I'm not hitting any of you."

Who thinks it is okay to threaten to rape someone? What kind of adult assaults a teenager instead of going to the authorities? And lastly, who does he think he is to threaten to beat women for not fitting his idea of feminine?

Women have been doing it for years (I never understood what's so unattractive about some fuzzies - I think it's cute) and now it's gone so far that men are waxing chests, etc.

What gives? Why are we trained to hate our bodies and their natural attributes?

Writer Naomi Wolf in her book "The Beauty Myth":

"Of course men don't age any better physically," says Wolf, "they age better only in terms of social status".

"We misperceive in this way since our eyes are trained to see time as a flaw on women's faces where it is a mark of character on men's. If men's main function were decorative and male adolescence were seen as the peak of male value, a 'distinguished' middle-aged man would look shockingly flawed," she says.

It's been that way for a long time.

Experience is knowledge and that is what we must remember when we look at our own lifestyles, learning from our mistakes and tweaking our options to maximise our short time on this earth.

It's interesting that men are still afforded this luxury but women are widely dismissed on the basis of age and fading physical beauty

Your thoughts?

The ones that get their girlfriends pregnant, and then just f*ck off, leaving her raising the child alone, and having to pay for everything when the man shoudl be supporting the family, not a woman just by herself.
And then lots of people in society say, oh he was too young, it's not his faultm he didn't know better. Did those women get themselves pregnant or something? He was smart enough to stick his dick in, why should he not be smart neough to stay around and at least be a parent? Why shoudl society ease up on people like that?

Just curious to see what everyone's opinion is on this subject. As a man, would you be offended? Women, are you going to/already have taken someone else's last name? If not, why?

I was talking to my dad today and he although he is a very nice guy and everything, he admitted that he believes that women are not as capable and there should not be a woman president. Is this secretly how all men feel?

I've comments about guys being very forward in their flirtation, being very persistent in their courtship, and most recently, being "dominant" in the bedroom, including "light asphyxiation" and "hair pulling".

I'm not judging any woman for liking whatever it is she may like, but guys, what are you thinking? Or are you not thinking at all but just incredibly horny?

I am gentle by nature anyway, but in the contemporary climate of increased awareness of sexual harassment, stalking, date rape, and domestic violence, why in the WORLD would you take the CHANCE of being accused of one of these crimes? How could it possibly be worth the risk, even if it is relatively small, that if you leave hand prints on a woman's neck, you could easily find yourself in deep trouble?

Why take the risk?

I come from a functional family with parents who are still married (about 40 yrs) but never really showed sexuality towards eachother in front of my sis and I. I haven't had many partners (under 10 and I'm 30!) and the one I enjoyed the most was the last guy with whom I had chemistry for a long time. But the most crucial factor was that he was dominant and a little rough. He almost asphyxiated me too (lightly) and I had the best time. What does this all mean? He even asked why a nice girl like me liked it that way. He pulled my hair a bit and I loved it. I'm normally not subservient in real life either at all. I'm not dominant either I think. Though I WAS the boss in my last relationship (almost a dictator). So. why do I like this guy so much with his hair pulling and domination? I want to be handled.. I don't have a rape or molestation past... Please shed some light and tell me how to recognize a guy who'll be a bit dominant in bed by just talking to him so I can meet more :)

I've read numerous studies and finding on why women cheat. The majority of the finding say, women cheat because they feel "entitled" to. They weren't getting what they wanted at home, so they go else where. They felt deserving of the gratification the affairs gave them, one study said.

My question is. How much of these women are really entitled to anything?! If you're gonna lie, creep and cheat. By default, in my opinion. You have just lowered standards! What attention do these women want? Are they good wives or girlfriends? Who said they were a catch? People always feel entitled for some reason. But are they!

Is this not another example of selfish people jusifying their action by blaming the other person?

Are relationships not a give and take. Two people working to make the other happy?! Or is it just make me happy.

AND YES I KNOW MEN CHEAT TOO! AND OFTEN.

i support them. ironically, it's the only thing im feminist about. i think women should be able to enjoy pornagraphy just as much as men do, and if they want a career in the porn industy, they should be allowed that right without being looked down upon.

i know some women probably do porn just for the money, but im sure some of the women really do enjoy it too.

Are there any statistics? Just curious.

(BTW: I'd normally ask this in the Cultures and Groups section, but I get nothing but useless, rude and racist replies from there around this time of day and the Singles and Dating section moves so damn fast only a few people answer my questions there if they even get posted.)

1.) Black/White

2.) White/Hispanic

3). Black/Asian

4.) White/Asian

5.) Hispanic/Asian

6.) Black/Hispanic

I know there's a lot more combinations that aren't listed here, but I wanna keep this short.

made me and intended me to be. A deodorant is necessary whether one does or does not shave under their arms, so it makes no sense to disfigure God's creation with a razor. Women the world over are admired, not for hair on their legs, perhaps, but definitely for their underarm hair! Do you think the American fear is just another overaction to religion in America, and the way that Preachers like to impose their wills on women?

I view this woman as my spiritual mother. Whenever we are in the same room or area with each other... along with other people present, I notice that she always has her eyes on me...watching me. When I am sad or not myself, she comes to me and wants to know what is going on with me. There has been a time when she has called me DEAR. I called her on the phone one night and confided in her about some problems that I was having with my mother and she directed me to the right conclusion. A couple of weeks later, she asked me if I did what she advized me to do, etc...she is serous about me getting things straight with my mother. Why? She has even told me to call her when I need to talk to her about anything. How does she feel about me? What does her actions indicate?
