tomorrow, you woke up and you were completely unattractive sexually. guys no longer had any interest in you. most guys under 25 would be annoyed if you approached them and men in their 30s and even 40s had absolutely no interest in you but would always be interested in girls younger than you. the only guys who would give you the time of day were guys who lacked confidence and felt they couldn't do any better. more often than not they would be pretty ugly. of course one day you'd find a guy who liked you for your personality and looked past your appearance, but when it came to flirting, casual dating, and casual sex, you'd have to watch all your more attractive friends have all the fun while you just miss out.

how would you feel? would you still like sexual freedom? would you like seeing girls younger than you attracting all the guys while almost any guy who isn't ugly has no interest in you? do you think you'd be the same person you are now?

be honest please.

I call him the "Man Traitor" because every episode he puts down men and acts like women know everything and men are morons.

This has actually been tried and it never works. Some people are born with TWO genitalia and the parents have to pick one. HOWEVER the BRAIN is already programed to be a particular GENDER. Some people have sex changes because their brain is the wrong gender later in life. You can research this if you want.

Your BRAIN is programed at birth to be a certain gender. Its not society that makes you act like a man or a woman. Its BIOLOGY. BIOLOGY.

Women and men are different and feminism down-plays this. We are not different like blacks and whites are different (thats purely cultural).. we are different because of our brains.

Why can't feminists accept this?

Women say the want equality. But why do they only want equality in the privileges of life, not the responsibilities?

Women have no problem creating self-help groups to lobby for legislation to give more rights, where are women's efforts to lobby to be included in the draft.

Note: To all who say that women will not perform well on the front line of a war - for the sake of argument this will be accepted, but the question remains: Why aren't women demanding that they be drafted, but in support roles such as supply and transport? After all, if women can demand that special legislation be passed to ensure that they can be employed as commercial airline pilots, they cannot then say that the task of military pilot is "too dangerous".

Is that fact that women are not lobbying to be included in the draft, even for non-combat roles, yet another example of how women want privilege without responsibility?

Obviously, we start out life naked, and somewhere along the way, clothes got invented.

I do wonder looking at some tribal societies where nudism or near nudism is the norm, if clothes, make up and the like got invented partly to accentuate and conceal.

That the suggestion of a body may be more attractive than the revealed body.

Certainly in the naturist type magazines I have seen, I did not find nudity to be particularly erotic (yes attractive people are still attractive, but attractive people turn heads when they walk down the street too).

In a society where nudism was the norm, would people dress up to be attractive?

trines? Here are some other examples of ideas stolen from earlier religions -

Worship of Mithra is the religion often said to be the source of Christianity. http://www.tektonics.org/copycat/mi... is a source you might use to learn more about current thought on the matter.

Some of the stated similarities are listed below. I was not there.

1. Mithra was born of a virgin on December 25th in a cave, and his birth was attended by shepherds.
2. He was considered a great traveling teacher and master.
3. He had 12 companions or disciples.
4. Mithra's followers were promised immortality.
5. He performed miracles.
6. As the "great bull of the Sun," Mithra sacrificed himself for world peace.
7. He was buried in a tomb
7. He was buried in a tomb and after three days rose again.
8. His resurrection was celebrated every year.
9. He was called "the Good Shepherd" and identified with both the Lamb and the Lion.
10. He was considered the "Way, the Truth and the Light," and the "Logos," "Redeemer," "Savior" and "Messiah."
11. His sacred day was Sunday, the "Lord's Day," hundreds of years before the appearance of Christ.
12. Mithra had his principal festival of what was later to become Easter.
13. His religion had a Eucharist or "Lord's Supper," at which Mithra said, "He who shall not eat of my body nor drink of my blood so that he may be one with me and I with him, shall not be saved."
14. "His annual sacrifice is the passover of the Magi, a symbolical atonement or pledge of moral and physical regeneration."
15. Shmuel Golding is quoted as saying that 1 Cor. 10:4 is "identical words to those found in the Mithraic scriptures, except that the name Mithra is used instead of Christ."
16. The Catholic Encyclopedia is quoted as saying that Mithraic services were conduced by "fathers" and that the "chief of the fathers, a sort of pope, who always lived at Rome, was called 'Pater Patratus.'"

Interesting article from abc news on the subject. I just don't know why they would mention Jennifer Wilbanks, the crazy run away bride. I think they should lock her away for a good five years. She cost the taxpayers plenty with her antics.

I've been practicing my social skills by asking women for their names. Most women seem to be pleasantly surprised to my question and they respond warmly with their preferred appellation. Does our patriarchal society minimize the value of women's names to the point that my inquiry is unexpectedly gratifying? Or maybe I have a funny accent? Or am I missing some critical subtlety of ve4rbal communication? I'm terrible at identifying emotions.

Why do young women today qualify things by saying "I'm not a feminist" and then agree with, and benefit from all the things that are on the feminist agenda. They are not a feminists because they don't have to be. Others did their fighting for them. If they are working and receiving equal wages, they benefit from feminsm. Why don't they realize this?

I am trying to comprehend why men feel it necessary to judge females on their bodies, yet when you look at them, they are also carrying weight and have no care for themselves?

In Ontario yesterday a 16 year old girl was choked to death by her father apparently after a dispute over her refusal to wear the hijab, the traditional Islamic headscarf worn by women. Her 26 year old brother is in custody for obstruction of justice:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071211/wl_canada_nm/canada_crime_hijab_ca_col;_ylt=ArmD9NTV6CphjsyWiTvPugdvaA8F
One poster observes:
"This tragic event illustrates the need to define the limits of reasonable accommodation for newcomers. The father & his obstructing son appear to have been forcing their Islamic traditions on [the daughter] for some time. Had society taken a stand and banned ostentatious religious clothing/jewellry from being worn in public schools for example as France has done...".

What do you think?
