Gender Studies - December 2007

And if yes please tell me the story :O)
Why does Savoy owns the mysterymethod internet portal, and sells products of Mystery like the 5 dvd volume encyclopedia?
Why does Mistery doesn´t sell this product in the venusianarts internet portal?
Also, in the MISTERY Method interviews series of "Savoy?", his team uses words and ideas that Erik Von Markovik created.
What a fraud!
How can we help Erik Von Markovik???? any ideas?

How would you feel/react if you caught your gf or wife in bed with another woman?

Would you still feel betrayed, heart broken and angry that she would do this, regardless of the gender of the person she's having the affiar with.

Or would you actually be turned on by it?

I personally would still be pissed off at her for stabbing me in the back like that and I'd probably end the relationship right there on the spot.

But for a lot of other guys however, seeing their gf or wife in bed with another female is like something out of a porno, it's a dream come true for them.

Most people are pretty skeptical about my martial arts training until they see it in action. What, are women supposed to be frail creatures who rely on men all the time?

"If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological
problems staying in a ditch for thirty days because they
get infections and they don't have upper body strength. I
mean, some do, but they're relatively rare. On the other hand,
men are basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch,
they roll around in it, doesn't matter, you know. These things
are very real. On the other hand, if combat means being on an
Aegis-class cruiser managing the computer controls for twelve
ships and their rockets, a female may be again dramatically
better than a male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in
a chair all the time because males are biologically driven to
go out and hunt giraffes."
Newt Gingrich

And don't give me the old "this depends on the kind of society you're talking about" spiel either. If you actually feel like answering this, provide an example of civilization that worships muscle-padded women.

I see all this chivalry bashing, and I'm thinking, has a woman ever held a door open for me? Just this morning I had two just let the door hit me after they got in. Then again yesterday, I don't think I've ever had a woman hold a door open for me, how about you guys? And ladies, feel free to throw in your own experiences.

For instance, most of the nudity in mainstream American movies is female. Yet, if a woman walks around without a shirt as a man might, it is illegal. If it is for entertainment in a film, then female nudity is acceptable, but if it is for function (if a woman is hot and takes off her shirt, or if she needs to breast feed and exposes her breast), it is rude, distasteful, and possibly against the law. Anyone want to throw around some ideas why this is?

I am wondering what pro-lifers think about the health care problems in the US. Could a lack of access to prenatal care be pushing some women into abortion? What about women who only have health insurance through work, and would not be able to take a child to the doctor and also stay home to raise it? Do you think that health care access is an important issue for pro-lifers? Is a vote against increasing access to prenatal care a vote for increased numbers of abortions?

I became interested in feminism because I was born in the Middle East and witnessed the injustice women went through because of their gender. Women receiving different legal punishments based on their gender, not being allowed to become judges or hold high positions. Sexual assualt/rape/molestation not being taken seriously. Marital rape having no meaning. Men having the right to have 99 wives while women would get stoned to death for infitality. A female witness only counting as a half of a witness....the list goes on and on. Feminism is what I consider is needed for these countries to bring equal basic rights. This to give women options and freedoms. However, ever since I got on this forum, I have realized the serious need for a separation of feminism (equal legal rights) and personal relationships, pretty much as necessary as separation of state and church, as feminism has become a religion in some cases, attempting to control every aspect of one's life w/o invitation. Thoughts?

I would be mad too if someone took care of something because he automatically assumed I'm weak and unable to do it on my own. But I think even a 4-year old is able to open a door, so assumption of disability can't possibly be the reason a man opens the door. If he opens the door because he wants to get into my pants later, he will sooner or later realize it was a waste of door service, so he's the one who gets mad, not me.

I have ignored this topic because I thought it wasn't even worth discussing, but now the disrespect towards men who respect and take care of women by default (my dad being one of them), is getting to me. So the response to a respectful man who opens the door or give his jacket to a woman who is freezing (stranger or not) out of courtesey is "I don't need to put up with this...I don't need this," instead of a simple "thank you?" And you call yourselves respectful and wonder why men are mean?

We are nowadays swimming in a massive sea of invisible electro-magnetic radiation. Radio and television transmissions, satellite radiations, remote-controls, surveillance equipment, mobile phones, you name it. All this radiation is constantly passing through our bodies, can anyone seriously suggest that it is not harming us and triggering illness?

And I don't mean to walk in and hold the door behind you. I mean walk in front of the man.. open the door and let the man walk in. Why not?

A woman did this for me ONCE. But it was a stranger. Why don't women ever do this on a DATE is my question. Whats the logic behind wanting equality, but still wanting chivlry. Feminists have changed the word "chivlry" to mean "Manners" for their own convenience. But anything a man is expected to do for a woman that he would NOT do for a man is chivlry in my book (a woman he is not officially WITH). This rule changes once you are officially partners.

With EQUALITY and all... how do feminists explain this?

PS: Don't forget the original posted question... thats the main question.

in the West? We have equal legal rights, allowing us to make as much money, and run the show in the workplace. In some areas we're even "unofficially" favored more (sexual harrassment/domestic abuse). Try calling the cops on a boyfriend while crying on the phone as a woman or telling your boss some coworker made you feel "uncomfortable!" We have the option of being a career woman or a housewife (don't even tell me the option, according to social/personal values is the same for men) Yet, at the end of the day, most men, by tradition, hold the door open, pay for dates, allow us to take the only seat left, or pick up the car in the rain, for the simple fact that we are women.

Undeniably, social double standards continue to exist when it comes to our bodies, sexuality etc. and we need to change that BUT do you ever appreciate the great position we have today and the positivive side also?

I see people give the reason why gender discrimination can't exist is because they personally haven't experienced it. Are these people so lucky, or so privileged, or in denial, or lack empathy, that they can't see even one instance of unfairness, for just one person because of their gender?

Is this way of thinking similar as the thinking of people who say they have never experienced racism, or don't see any racism or don't see what the big deal is about racism?

If someone hasn't experienced gender discrimination, does that mean it doesn't exist? How can someone think their personal experience is exactly the same as millions of others?
