I feel being called a female is an insult that implies I do not have the value of a human. Females and men are how people are beginning to refer to people as. Am I not worth being considered a human?

I also take the other side into view. Sex and Gender are not the same thing. You can be female and be a man, you can be male and be a woman. There are people who are neither male nor female and there are also people who are neither men nor women. These ideas go above the heads of most adults around me so don't spend too much time pondering it if you don't get it.

Am I justified in feeling insulted at being called a female and not a woman or girl? (There is also the entire argument of calling women girls, but I am young enough to be referred to as either)

The majority of child abuse, sex abuse, and child murder/cruelty is commited by women, why do the adverts always portray men as the offenders when that contradicts the statistics?

My eyes cross inward. I've had this my whole life and have already done everything possible to treat it. At this point there is nothing more that can be done and I'm just always going to be cross eyed.

There are a number of male celebrities that are cross eyed, but NO females at all... that I can think of. It really hurts me how shallow a lot of people are. Why is it that whenever someone wants to insult me, they point out my eye condition? Thats such a low blow.

I'm 24 and never had a boyfriend because most men will date me just for a "hook up". I also get approached by lots of men when I'm wearing sunglasses, but almost never when my eyes are visible.

Would his be easier of I was a guy?

And If that someone didn't specifying his/or intention, would you have blocked the person?

I realize that many feminists are Democrat, but I am not. I also realize that the Republican base had been overtaken by Christian Conservatives, which deeply goes against the core belief that government should stay out of the bedrooms and boardrooms of Americans. Do you agree with this sentiment?

Do you believe that pornography is about the subjugation and enslavement of women? If so, how do you account for the sizable amount of pornography in the world that doesn't involve women at all?

I love Andrea Dworkin as much as the next guy, but for me personally the jury is still out on this one...

Perhaps you decided to be a male nurse or primary school teacher?

Perhaps you studied to become a female doctor or engineer, or trained to be a marine?

If not you personally, perhaps someone you know.

Have you been supported in choosing a career path that is unusual for your gender? Have you supported someone making an unusual choice?

How has it worked out?

When a person blames their lack of success, or failure to get their own way on discrimination which is based on race or gender, they often do have a provable point.

However, that isn't always true. Sometimes people will blame their failures on gender or race simply because it is an easy rallying point to cry "foul", garner support from relevant organizations and essentially play the victim in circumstances where they have not been victimized at all.

There can be no dispute that people are discriminated against on the basis of race and gender, but how often do people play the "race card" or the "gender card"?

Does it devalue the genuine moves towards equality, or is it simply an inevitable reflection on human nature to use whatever means available to get ones own way?

Is there a significant difference in your mind between those who play the race card and those who play the gender card?

What do you think?

Maybe it's just me but I think, this is wrong. There is no reason why she can't be giving her a bath.
If you see no problem with this, then do you think it would be wrong if a man took a shower with his three year old?
Please note that I do not do this because not only is it wrong in my opinon but just imagine what my ex would say if I was to do that. I would be getting a call from CPS quicker than you can say 'sexual abuse alligation'.

I have great assets, and I use those assets to increase my asset base. Not only is it about using your asset base correctly, it's about gaining a larger share of the pie.

You see, I am have a keen business sense as well.

Violation received for posting a message in French.
Have seen answers on this forum answers in Spanish and Arabic.
What is wrong with an inoffensive response in French?

And I'm probably guilty of this too. But in the answers to the question posted below, I noticed several women posters (assumption based on name and/or avatar) who were demeaning other women, either for *only having basic people skills* or for *being homemakers or stay at home wives being the equivalent of prostitutes*

Why are women some of their own worst enemies? Why do women demean each other's choices so much? How can we ever expect men to respect and admire us if we can't even do it?

I mean, it's not the mother's fault that she had a child and doesn't know who the father is, but ALL men share a collective responsibility, since they all could potentially father and subsequently abandon the woman and child.

Whaddya think of this great idea?

i am fascinated with the recent explosion in the number of escorts, pole dancers, cam girls, etc. that there seems to be these days.
why do women choose these careers in the first place? and why all of a sudden are so many making that choice? what has changed from, say, 20 years ago? i don't buy that it is because of the internet.
i was discussing this with a woman friend; and she believes that all women in the sex trade have been sexually-molested at some point in their childhood. i don't agree with that. my own theory is that it is a combination of :
1. "big money, fast"?
2. vanity/validation ("i'm such a hot looking chick, X number of guys are lining up to pay X amount of money to be with me/look at me")?
3. "i love sex; i'm promiscuous anyway - i might as well get paid for it?"
4. "i'm rebelling against conformity"?
i saw a documentary on tv recently where one escort said she knew she wanted to be an escort since she was 12 or 13! that's gotta make you wonder!
