Gender Studies - December 2007

Would you rather have a PhD in Marxism (or maybe some other more mainstream degree) from Harvard University like I do or look as good as Jessica Simpson and have a similarly lucrative career based on your good looks.

Can't we just blame her for everything? Wasn't she the second gunman on the grassy knoll? Didn't she suggest waterboarding to Dick Cheney? Isn't she responsible for less than ideal vehicle emissions? Curse you, Simpson, curse you!

Some say it's a matter of social conditioning. Some say it has a biological purpose. Unfortunately, I've noticed that many people who make the "biological purpose" argument here seem to think that justifies it.

Even if there is a biological purpose (and I'm not convinced there is) does that mean we can't get beyond it? Does that give us the right to go on harshly judging one group for sexual practices that are applauded in another? As modern humans, is it not possible for us to get beyond something so incredibly outdated and accept that what other people do with their bodies is no one else's business, and no one else's place to judge?

1- Which gender has an advantage and why?
2- All or specific areas?

Since that part of his anatomy would be inside of her? Would it therefore be "her body" such that she can legally castrate the man?

I know that feminists exclusively smoked Virginia Slims in their heyday. Is this still the case? Does it make you feel liberated?

You've come a long way, baby!

If you usually troll, try being sensible. Or if you are usually sensible, try some trolling. Why not? Answer in the style of someone else. Go for it!

Most women who are feminists claim to support equal pay for women and equal things for women. Ladies nights at some clubs and bars require free admission for women and free drinks. As a male I think it would be hypocrisy for women to support ladies nights for women but then be against paying men or women less. Also if there was an event where females outnumbered males and the event holder decided to give males free stuff and free admission you can be sure all these angry women who claim to be nonfeminists would also be fighting against that.

What do you think the reason is?

Never met a really hot woman that wasn't at least middle class. I've come across attractive men that are poor though... not that I look at men that way...

Based on FEMINISM.. any preferenital treatment (no matter how much sense it makes or doesn't make) is SEXIST.

Therefore being heterosexual is sexist because you favor one gender over the other for sex and romance. No?

Whats the difference between saying "I want an attractive women with a nice butt" vs. "I want a housewife" ?

Some women are happy to be housewives and let their partner boss them around... so what? Whats wrong with that? Some women have nice butts... so what? Whats wrong with that?

I want a passive, shy, weak woman I can boss around and control and will cook my dinner every night. SO WHAT?

August National Golf Club is a higly prestigious private club with a very limited number of members...All of whom are men. In 2003, a feminist organization, with national support from feminists, launched a campaign to pressure the club into allowing female club members and the club refused, despite the enormous amount of financial pressure. Since the majority of feminists in YA seem to think that it is acceptable to provide preference for entrance to clubs to certain individuals based on their sex, what is your opinion of the Augusta incident? Are you consistent in your beliefs and do you believe that their sex-based qualifications are acceptable? Or do you believe that national feminist organizations erred in their efforts?

some make sense and I understand how it happened, like men mow the lawn, women cook, men build things, women clean, ect but how did taking out the trash become a man chore?

My local NPR station is playing Christmas music (classical of course), with many religious songs mixed in. They did this for Channukah as well. Being that NPR is public, do feminists think it is right for them to do this?

I see some of the men complaining about ladies night, so would it be fair to also have a Men's night at clubs or bars. Would this make everyone happy?
