"Fathers often fail to realize their important in the raising of their children"=wrong, with the current double standards they are not allowed to! And they are scared to be fathers!:

And I am not being a “chauvinistic man”, because all these articles are written by women. The entire organization is almost only women and the leaders are women.




And by the way if you go examine questions and answers in this site about equal situations, but one time the man is the victim and the woman is the offender, and then the exact same situation but with the man being the offender and the woman the victim; you will see that most women always try to make excuses to defend the woman even when she is the offender but when the man is the offender women want terrible cruel punishments for him. Men want to punish the man if he is the offender, and even when the man is the victim of something terrible they always try to make excuses for the woman offensive acts. What I mean by this is that women are the ones that like so much double standards, not men. Most women are the ones that are feminists by nature, but only a very few men are chauvinistic.
Men often sacrifice thier rights to protect women, but women never ever do that to men. Women do not want equality they want all the rights and none of the responsabilities. If you do not believe me just ask some questions, or go see questions already asked.
Women already have more rights and less responsabilities, and who give them that rights? Men are still in power, men where the ones who gave women those rights, women would never do that to men because is not in their nature.

Answer 2

For one thing, it is UNjust, not injust. As a woman myself, i have witnessed a few instances where affirmative action proved unjust. Let me say now that I am not a feminist, I just simply believe in equal rights. Personally, I would not want to be hired, accepted, or put any any higher position simply because I am a woman. If a man is more qualified than I am, he deserves it, not me. Why would you want to be given something when you know for a fact that someone else is much more deserving?

Answer 3

Of course there are times when affirmative action was unjust. We live on Earth, and we are only human. Any good idea has its downside, and affirmative action is no different. I still think it needs to be in place, but it, like any other institution, needs to have checks and reforms all the time. Again, we're only human, so we need to check and double check for mistakes.

Oh, and I'm a feminist and an honest woman. I'm not sure where you were going with that? But feminists are reasonable people, too, you know. In fact, I think it's more reasonable to be feminist; anyone with half a brain can see that men and women are pretty much equal in talents and intelligence.

Answer 4

Every thing in this world is unjust. Do you think Courts are Just. Don't you believe it. How did Simpson got acquited of slashing the throat of his wife. Half a dozen high priced lawyers got him acquited. If he had cheap lawyers do you think he would have gotten free? Do not bet on i. My corrupt Landlord was a very influential person and a very corrupt lawyer. I had none. I fought a pro se battle. I lost at every step. The only result of my efforts is that this high Priced lwayer stopped represented him eventually after I sued him altgough he won that case too. The name of attorney Cohen, Hurkin, Tennonbaum, Ehrenkrantz, Pomerantz and the Landlord Abraham Stark.

Answer 5

Isn't affirmative action more to do with the process of a business or governmental agency that gives special rights of hiring or advancement to ethnic minorities to make up past discrimination?

If you mean in the sense of women's rights, yes there is a big problem here in Ontario, Canada with domestic violence. The provincial mandatory charge policy, forces police to lay charges when they have evidence of domestic violence. That means, they must arrest both the abuser and the abused. The law was introduced to take the onus off of abused women; the police must lay charges, instead of the battered woman being forced to lay charges against her abuser.
The result: females who call the police for domestic violence are finding themselves in jail! Add in English language issues and improperly trained police officers, and you have a huge miscarriage of justice!

Answer 6

My biggest gripe with Affirmative Action is white males thinking. Why do they think that it gives minorities an unfair advantage. The people that benefitted the most are white females.

Answer 7

My sister applied for a Federal PELL grant during her freshman year of college and got one because of her exceptional grades. The next year when she went to apply for it again, however, she was asked whether she was a minority (no) or whether she was a single mother (no) and then told that because of that, she was not eligable for the same grant she qualified for the year before.

Answer 8

what is affirmative action? and why do chauvinistic men and feminist women annoy you? you belive in equal rights, right? then you ARE a feminist, just not a man hater.

Answer 9
