women empowerment what do you think ?

Answer 1

About time..... women should live as they wish, and women must support one another. How many mothers do you know that teach that to their daughter and show their sons that? How many women have made stupid comments about other women who are either career women or stay-at-home-mothers?

We will not be empowered until we get our act together!

Answer 2

Girl power (or grrl power as it later became) was so nineties. Aren't we all practically equal anyway now? Ladies: you live longer, get special nights with reduced prices for drinks, get special car insurance just for you, you never have to approach men because we're the ones expected to do the chatting up, have massive charities and organisations designed solely to empower you, can wear trousers or skirts or jeans, have thousands of 'women only' shops and hairdressers, you get custody of the children 9 times out of 10, you're never expected to go to war, you get 6 months off work when you're pregnant and have to be given your job back after that time no matter how much damage the break causes, you're entitled to half your husband's wealth when you divorce, feminist literature and poetry is given a lot of leeway (think we'd get away with 'The Penis Monologues'?), there are more magazines for women than for all the other subjects put together, all designed to help you or to fuel your interests (be they sex, gossip, gardening, whatever), you can beat men up and smack them about without fearing serious repercussions (whereas we lay a finger on you and it's a domestic violence lawsuit)and yet you want MORE empowerment? Why don't we try to work together to empower those who actually need it - minority groups and the like, instead of wasting time on these sexist frivolities?

Answer 3

Personally, I enjoy letting a woman take control once in a while. It's nice to lay back and let a woman do whatever she wants to satisfy me.

I also enjoy letting women have the power to clean the house when it's messy, cook dinner and serve it, do the dishes afterward, and all the other cute little jobs their best suited for.

Ah yes, I can hear the feminist's teeth grinding at this very moment.

Answer 4

I believe we should all act and function in society as equals. It is troubling to see that our society seems to be transforming to a point where those who were once unequal in social life are trying to gain power above what would be considered equal. There is nothing wrong with attempting to achieve a better status in society though hard work but when it comes to the issue of gender or race for that matter, those issues should remain neutral as we should be all treated as equals. No better, no worse.

Answer 5

3 point to make
1 women have all the power of the world because of sex
2 with women empowerment are you going to teach women to grow up and support themself without leeching of men
3 equal right not one sex above the other can you teach WE with out putting down men?

Answer 6

I agree with Basebalk and Azinum. In my city there are many agencies helping and supporting women (which is good) but practically none for men (which is bad). There is not one shelter for male victims of abuse for this population of over 1 million. There are 9 for women. I dont know if human beings can ever allow everyone to be equal...seems not in our nature, sadly. And women do need to stand up for themselves, teach your daughters their worth outside of relationships/ teach your sons to respect women - this means when you hear anyone make derogatory remarks, including your husband or other male relatives or friends, speak up. don' allow gender jokes in your house. respect yourself and lead by example. This is a huge topic, and I suspect you are doing a whole paper on this!

Answer 7

Why can't women just suck things up? There are always groups in your favor to help support your cause. While guys tend to duke it out on their own self determination. As we all know, in general, women lack strength and determination. Don't blame us for all your faults. If there's not enough women in science, it's because of discrimination. If there is not enough women in top managerial positions its because of discrimination. If there is not enough women the government, it's because of discrimination. Take account for your own action!

Answer 8

Personal power is what I think .

Answer 9

How come no one is concerned about men's rights? It's always women's rights or human rights (I understand that men and women are humans).

I say to all feminists, renounce feminism and adopt humanism. fight for the rights of all humans and not just women's rights. show concern over and do something about all violence and not just violence against women.

There is so much concern about violence against women (none for men) when most of the murdered victims are men. In every society that I know of there is gender based discrimination. There is definitely a double standard in the justice system even in countries as democratic as Canada and the United States of America. For what a man goes to prison for decades upon conviction, a woman can get away with a few months of probabtion. The tables are turned the other way around in countries like Pakistan and Iran, where the justice system much like everything else discriminates against women. In my country of India, there are many train cars, many seats in buses for women only, the income taxes are lower for women, so many other outrageous laws that favour women, etc. In India, precious little baby girls are killed just because they are girls while the more educated families choose to abort them just because they are going to be girls while both practices are illegal. No one complaints that auto-insurance rates are much higher for men than for women. Try charging more to women and there will be mass protests and numerous lawsuits. A few weeks ago I heard on the news that 2 girls had won the legal battle against their school to join the boys’ team. A few minutes later I heard that some female firefighters had won their battle to have a separate change room from the male firefighters. Both verdicts are of Canada. They are certainly contradictory rulings. Besides no girl can ever join a boys’s team since if a girl joined the boys’ team it wouldn’t be a boys’ team anymore and vice versa. Also if women are allowed to participate in “men’s” events, then men should be allowed to participate in “women’s” events. Men are extremely happy to be around women but in the case of participating in sports events, this would be a tragedy for women. There is lots of outcry over how there aren’t enough women professors, politicians, etc. Women are free to run in this country. If not many want to or win, then not many do or win. They are free to do other professions as well. It’s interesting how no one complaints that most school teachers are women, that most models, most receptionists, most university students, etc are women. No one complaints that most of the military dead are men (if there are x men for every 1 woman in the military, then y military men die for every military woman that dies, where y >> x). There is lots of outcry over how women are underdiagnosed with heart disease when it’s the number one killer of women and no one complaints that men live on average about 6 years less than women no matter who is dying of what and when. There is lots of outcry about AIDS in women when more than 50% of the victims are male. I have never heard of any concern over men having the disease. It’s always AIDS in women, AIDS in children, or just AIDS. It’s never AIDS in men. Did any man on Titanic have any less of a right or desire to live than any woman or child on Titanic? If I was a man on Titanic, then I would probably be murdered since I would have done anything to fight for my life. When it comes to saving my life, any law preventing me from doing so would have to be broken and an attempt made to do what it takes to survive. Is it really any less sad for an innoncent man to die in a military or terrorist attack than for an innocent woman or an innocent child to die? There is lots of outcry over how male tennis players make more (less than 2 times more) money than female tennis players and yet there is no outcry that female models make many times more money than male models. There are lots of scholarships available only to females while I haven’t seen any available only to males. There is women’s day while there is no men’s day, etc. There are countless other examples. Most child custody cases are won by mothers. There is outcry how fields like physics and mathematics and computer science and engineering are dominated mostly by men when there is no such outcry over fields dominated by women. And there are so many more discriminations against both genders. Feminism will never seek or achieve gender equality for the name itself is biased towards one gender. Those who really want true equality should start another movement named humanism. I have listed more discrimination against men than women because the point that I am trying to make here is that gender based discrimination occurs not only against women but against men as well.
