Law like "Violence Against Women Act" is very bias and sexist. It basically say that women is the only victim of violent. What can we do to get rid of such law?

For the sake of equality. Law like that should be eliminated IMO

what the hell are you doing reading this?

It's New Years eve, for god's sake.

Yah. I know. Holidays mean nothing to me, either. Hate 'em, in fact.

Doesn't mean I haven't come to like a lot of you. Even though the only way I know you is through two numbers chopped up and reconstructed as communication in a ghastly global village that would have McLuhan spinning so fast that Gore Vidal wouldn't be able to bugger him unless he jumped out of a washer on spin-dry and timed it just right.

SO, to whomever did read this. I offer my heartfelt hope that you salvage as much happiness as is humanely possible from a creepy, scary, depressing world, that still has some magic in it. I don't want the fact that I've made a career out of looking in the wrong places a deterrent to your efforts. Honest.

Maybe that's why I try to make people laugh at it. Whatever. Meant what I said.

All the best. To all of you.

Best I can do. I know it's not much.

For the most part, feminists and MRA's actually get along on this forum, a bit of banter here, bit of raspberry blowing there and even *gasp* some mutual flirting now 'n then...

Along comes a few nobodies out of the woodwork at it's hostilities.

Why do these trolls enjoy creating hostilities? These trolls claim 'equality' yet do nothing even close to attaining it, instead they focus on causing friction and ill-feeling.

"You can fight a lot of enemies and survive.. but if you fight your biology.. you will always lose."

What do you think this quote means?

Why do you feel the need to show up in the GWS section and troll the heck out of it? If you hate feminists, then why do you have to behave like chauvinists in order to prove a point? I don't get it, some of the questions here are unbelievably stupid, and I wonder what the pay off is?

I really don't. I figure that most men who talk to me for any time can see easy enough that I'm clearly not a man-hater. And any one who knows me at all knows it already.

But yeah I do know that saying you are a feminist sometimes gets some reactions even from your friends and I may explain just what feminism really is and what I believe. I don't feel that is really the same though.

How about you?

The women's movement is about choice. A few months ago I was listening to a speech Steinem gave in an Indiana Univ. Someone asked her a question and don't recall exactly what was being discussed but Steinem mentioned born-again virgins and started laughing as did the audience. By her reaction, she made it seem that she believed choosing to reclaim your "virginity" was unwise. It really is not any of your buisness, I think. You are not hurting anyone and it is YOUR choice. I just found it hypocritical for her to act that way. What do you feel?

...but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters." ~Gloria Steinem

Why is or why isn't Ms. Steinem's quote relevant today? Is it okay for a girl to be a tomboy, and for a boy to be a bit "fem" or like a girl? Or does tomboy, feminine, and masculine still apply, if you're a feminist, an equalist or a humanist?

Especially among the teenage girls on my college campus. Something to do with the combination of the Northeast accent and that high-pitched, whiny teenage intonation make their voices *incredibly* annoying to the point of torture to me.

Anyone else have this problem ?

Obviously not all elements of the organization subscribe to it, but I'm curious if anyone thinks that members of it's hierarchy secretly still yearns for "the self-direction of human evolution".

I see a lot of articles that try to sell the idea that women are worthy of worship for very ordinary things like holding a job or refusing to let a man pay for anything they do.

I see articles that speak about brain research & all of the ways that the female brain has so many "women only" abilities. (I see articles about male brain abilities as well, but these are rare. Scientists & journalists alike want to keep their jobs. Larry Summers was a pretty big "red flag.")

I see women talk about how caring & nurturing they are & how men don't communicate or multitask as well as women.

These views are very prevalent it seems. The media is very friendly to this sort of opinion.

No one seems to see this as sexist or wrong or bordering on female supremacy.

It's interesting to me that men can't say even the slightest thing about male ability without it becoming somehow offensive. It's quite interesting, actually

I wonder how much of this is shaping the way we view the sexes.

were asked for your opinion by an advertising agency?

were invited to write advertising copy favouring females or putting down men?

Some posters on here keep complaining about ads that put men down [and I find these ads objectionable too], but methinks they are complaining to the wrong people, don't you?

I truely resent our society for being so male dominated. I have a daughter now, and I am bothered by the ways in which women are viewed and treated.

1) In children's movies, the lead characters are almost always male.
2) Organized religions are overtly sexist. Especially Judeo-Christian faiths.
3) No male Presidents elected in the USA.
4) Wage Gap between men and women.

These things bother me, and always have. Is it possible for a man to be a feminist?

With posting statistics and what-not on intelligence, etc, to be able to prove that men are more intelligent that women?(I'm refering to some men here, not all)
What's the point of this? What do you really think it's going to achieve?
That women will finally bow down to you or that we'll just not give a rats? Nothing really changes does it? It doesn't bring the sexes closer together and there be more understanding in the long run.
Thoughts?

Why can't they just compete, make money, and strive to have a successfull career?



My thoughts?
I really think they are just trying to get more mainstream recognition- the easy way. The way they know how. Not the " im gonna work my a$$ off and have these people respect me for the individual skills and character of which is me." But the " the hell with it, they wanna see a$$ and t!tt!es, then I'll do whatever I can to get my name out there, so much for the women's movement, I gotta get mine." It's really a damn shame.
