It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman. Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation.

Are guys as afraid as girls and how do they keep it together when fearful, how could they be that good at keeping it inside? For instance if you are in a scary situation like a guy with a knife or chainsaw is coming after you. The girl screams or runs the guy just walks normal or he protects you. Does he feel fear and how does he hide his fear so well?

Is anyone else outraged with the messages the media and the fashion industry send to girls? Will this later cause a backlash when they get older? If so, will women's fashion become less feminine (ie short hair styles) and become more unisex in the near future (ie 2015)?

from what i gather, most women over 30 love getting attention from 17-20ish year old guys. they seem to prefer it over attention from guys in their 30s and even guys in their mid or late 20s.

they say it's because it makes them feel like they feel like "they've still got it". but what makes them think that it's harder to attract teenage guys than guys in their 20s or 30s? most teenage guys are actually EASIER because of the hormone rush. and a lot of them just have this older woman fantasy. i am 19 and i hit on older women all the time who aren't that hot. it's probably harder to het the attention of a 25-35 year old man. so why are most women over 30 more flattered by attention from an 18 year old than from a 27 year old?

Doesn't that amount to an admission that there are fundamental differences in the minds of men and women?

Doesn't it also mean for that much women are more 'altruistic' or 'empathic' than men, they are also less of some other quality such as 'practical' or 'rational'?

Why do feminists often perpetuate stereotypes like this?

Whenever someone asks why, if women are paid 77c to a man's dollar for the same work, corporations don't just decrease costs by hiring women, feminists retort that the people choosing who to hire want to hire people who are like them so they hire men.

Why then have companies been moving jobs to countries populated by people of different races because they will work for less?

Like he feels he has more power by being egotistical. But if a man feels the need to do that all the time, doesn't it show he is lacking in something?

There's been a lot of talk about what feminism is & what feminism isn't lately.

Some people insist feminism is about equality.

Some people insist it isn't anymore.



I have an article written by a woman from the iwf (Independent Women's Forum) that challenges the conventional beliefs in the mainstream feminism.

If you're curios to see why people have objections to feminism, this explains it QUITE well:

Did any of that seem reasonable?

It is possible to transplant embryos and fetus from one person to another.

An infant is dependant on the body of its mother at least for the first 3 months, unless it is put to foster care. Similarly embryos and fetus can also be put to foster care.

In this condition, why is abortion a "choice" and a "right" of a woman over *HER* body?

Is it okay if the fetus or embryo can be removed from the mother-to-be who wants an abortion and given away for those who wish to bring it to this world?

Serious and rational answers please.

I don't label my fellow woman -- why does she label me because I have a different belief structure ?

I vote - I am well educated - I take care of all the banking his and mine - because I have a Husband who knows what manhood is-- I have owned my own businesses - No one tells me I am "allowed" to do anything - especially my Husband of 22 years!! We respect one another enough to discuss the relationship, the children, the financial goals, spirituality, intimacy -etc.

You see ladies - it has nothing to do with a label

Is masculism cult just a Pavlovian response?


So many young men seem to be seduced into "masculism" because they see the word itself as "manly" or "trendy" and they think it keeps them "in" with their peers. It's like a sort of Pavlovian response in a way.

They go on to believe that masculism and anti feminism offers them a "free lunch" - special preferential treatment, privileges, and exemptions under the law but without accepting any corresponding responsibilities. And they find themselves inculcated with hate notions such as "women are pigs" or "it's ok to date rape girls".

Yours thoughts, please.

Question Details: Let's say you were outwardly human , but you considered yourself a shark on the inside.

Would U call yourself human or shark? In a sense one is both (if not all) species if they feel say they are shark yet their body is human or medically human. I know that society says if your body is human you're humanregardless of your feeling.. & to fit in one is treated with pills. (this don't work for some though). For some their shark spirit is too strong to be chemically faded with pills like risperdol or seroquel. The spirit is the soul & without that one is merely.. the walking dead. If one had the money they could get their ethnicity changed or aligned to their spirit. many can't afford it & have to tough it out living as a human.. not easy for an shark spirit to do! If one feels shark one can consider themself as shark legally even though society may disagree

Most women who call themselves feminists aren't really into feminism. They select the parts of it that they think are comfortable, easy, or empowering, and they usually reject the other parts of it, like man-hate and feminist-superiority talk.

The revised feminist handbook sounds like sweetness and light and reasonableness, all the nasties have been purged. It is now supposed to be all about real equality between men and women.

I'm a masculist and an equalist, believing that men and women are born different but equal, are of equal worth, and are deserving of fair treatment under just laws.

So if feminism and masculism now apparently all believe in the same thing why bother with them anymore? Why don't we now just consign them to history and join the equalist movement?

Many people(especially women) nowadays said that "if you believe in equality between men and women you're automatically a feminist" blah..blah..

Well, I believe in equality, but, I'm not a feminist at all. In fact, I don't like feminism. I consider myself just another human being.


feminism is way too bias and women focus. I'm much more about human rights in general

Your thought?

The question has been asked about men's opinions about women, so I think it's fair for women to say what they think about men too.
I'll start off. Dislikes- bossiness, their expectations of women-but don't apply it for themselves. Narrow-mindedness.
Likes- men's strength and the love that they do show.
