People are beginning to question feminists about their "wishy-washy" statistics.

The reason why is simple: If there is no proof or credible study, people WILL question the merit of the statistics.

Bad statistics from biased people make bad laws. Period.

The company says it's toys are "build for boyhood". Don't girls have a right to play with the toys too? Shouldn't it say something like "build for childhood"?

Sure there are women who drop rape charges, but that doesn't mean the rape never happened. It probably means she's afraid to face her attacker, or afraid to testify. How can one accurately estimate the number of women who file false rape charges? Would liars ever publicly admit they lied?

How prevalent is the actual problem? How many men's lives are actually ruined in this way? How do we know she lied? And who in their right mind would file a rape charge that is false? It 's one thing to accuse, or spread rumors, but to file a criminal charge is another (big) level up. It doesn't make sense to me that anyone would think that they could pull off convincing a jury of such a huge lie.

What percentage of rape charges are actually false? And how do your arrive at a reliable statistic on this?

Why is it that when a woman is raped, she has to die? It doesn't make any sense! Shouldn't it be the rapist that gets killed? I just don't see why women are treated like that.

Capitalism is an art form, an Apollonian fabrication to rival nature. It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it. Everyone born into capitalism has incurred a debt to it. Give Caesar his due.


It seems that Camille is proposing that feminism and capitalism cannot co-exist. Maybe she is suggesting that the elites in our society gain from the benefits of capitalism while denouncing it. What do you think?

"A deranged man wearing what appeared to be a bomb strapped to his chest walked into a Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign office Friday, took several hostages and demanded to speak to the candidate, authorities said.

The man released at least three hostages as the afternoon wore on, but nearly four hours after the standoff began, police said they were still dealing with a hostage situation and the man had not been taken into custody" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071130/ap_on_re_us/clinton_office_hostages ).

Why are women's attempts to gain power so often countered with male violence?

I'm 20 and an adult already, but still, i'm the youngest in my family and my parents consider me a "little girl". Well I'm almost 23 wks preg and no one knows, except for 4 of my friends. I got preg from a guy I was just "getting with", who is and wont be supportive, and that no one knows him either; plus he's 11 yrs older than me. I'm in college and work part-time, but i'm still living with my parents and actually depend on them for almost everything. i always thought about having an abortion, but i knew that would be a stupid decision after all. I mean, all i have left to do is try to find a way and the right time to tell my parents about it, but its very awkward 'cause they probably think im still a virgin (my parents are mexican and very conservative). Im scared that they will find out themselves and be more mad at me, especially because i have been hiding my pregnancy but i won't be able to do that sooner or later. I also dont want to tell em anything about the father of the baby

To me the whole diamond trade is a rip. It's a lot like the drug trade it's just legal.

But for real blood diamonds are totally evil. I can't see why anyone would want to wear any diamonds if she thought there was Even a chance that she was financing murder and rape and theft and slavery from it.

I think it's interesting that people refer to feminists as feminazi's, but what do feminists have to do with people who committed mass genocide, and rounded up people into concentration camps, such as feminists? How can feminists be nazi's, if the nazi's disliked feminists and imprisoned them? Quite a few of the founding members of second wave feminism are Jewish as well. Why would you call Jewish feminists feminazi's?

Is there a similar term for anti-feminists? for sexists? If a feminist is called a nazi, what can a sexist be called?

For not going to court to testify against her kids father. The police gave her the subpoena in hand, so she knew she had to appear or else. She is the one who filed the charge against him.

She said she wanted to keep him out so she can recieve child support. I kind of believe her, but I dont.

Why didnt she go to court?

Someone asked why women have higher expectations of love, but I thought both men and women have a mixture of expectations, some high, some low, that would depend on the man and woman. What do you think, do men or women have higher expectations in love? or are there different expectations of love by each gender?

I think women who clamor for huge diamond rings are akin to prostitutes. Diamonds are basically money. If you like jewelery, there are a ton of prettier stones to choose from. When women show off their rings, they are basically bragging about how much money their spouse makes. What do you think? If I've offended you, get over it. Or better yet, explain to me why I'm wrong...

As the airliner pushed back from the gate, the flight attendant gave the
passengers the usual information regarding seat belts etc. Finally, she
said, "Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell
and crew take you safely to your destination." Joe sitting in the 8th row
thought to himself, "Did hear her right; is the captain a woman? I think I
better have scotch and soda. When the attendants came by with drink cart, he
said, "Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?" "Yes," said the
attendant, "In fact, this entire crew is female." "My God," said Joe, "I'd
better have two scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think of all those
women up there in the cockpit." "That's another thing," said the attendant,
"We no longer call it the cockpit. Now it's called the Box Office."

Just a bit of humour to lighten the mood:-)
