Although American women feel they have made progress they are still being treated as objects. They still make less pay and despite orders of protection are murdered on a regular basis by their husbands. America may portray itself as a "modern" nation but is still relegated to barbaric culturalism. Can you blame this on the media?...education?

They are not degraded as much as men are.

1. Proprietary permanent monogamy ideal.

Abolish marriage, and you're half way there.

The assumption that humans can be monogamous over the long run is a major cause of domestic violence, especially when other measures of control are used (marriage, for example). The stresses from trying to keep someone who no longer wants to be in a relationship under control drives violence both ways.

2. An inability, difficulty, or belief that it is unnecessary for a woman to be able to support herself (and her children) on her own without male influence and/or control.

Simply: a woman who lacks the resources to get out of a bad, controlling, and/or potentially harmful situation has no control over herself and is placing herself in subordination to another person. Expecting others, the police etc., to do her own job of protecting and promoting herself is a demonstration of weakness on her part and only helps feed the cycle.

3. The nuclear family.

A return to extended family or egalitarian groups of women living together, mutually supporting each other, preferably built around a core of mothers, daughters, and grandchildren and their accepted male partners would allow women to maintain a stable home environment with proper childcare and familial support without forcing males into taking control.

Women are pulled towards the worst men like moths to a flame. For some reason, the worst men make women the most excited. Good men do not do these things.

As to why women are put down, I do not know this to be the case. Women have as much or more choices than men these days. Many women refuse to face this because they are wimpy though and prefer to blame men for everything wrong with THEIR OWN lives.

Besides this, the more weird, manipulative, dishonest, selfish, arrogant, petty, shallow, whacked in the head, catty, unforgiving, hypocritical, bitchy, cold, man hating women I meet, the more I understand why so many men treat women like crap. Not only this, but so many men discover this whacked out thing about women- women LIKE you more if you treat them like utter dirt. The worse you treat them the more they like you. No wonder good, nice men ALWAYS LOSE.

Society is especially to blame because it has always been male dominated. Even though America upholds equality, I believe it's on paper and not put into practice.So in the end, a woman is slowly pulled down and many really feel that men are not prepared for change. They want to dominate all the time such they they end up say degrading things about women and think it's normal...be it in the media, the music they sing and how they treeat their wives and workmates

You're generalizing due to the media monsters propaganda that seeps into the gullible minds of lesser educated people, thus factually women are not being degraded, most are making more money than their mates, and the only ones that make such a negative portrayal of the US are the self-hating self-victimizing stupid lazy hypocritical losers that have nothing better to do than to point their pitiful poop stained fingers at people in order to make their lives as miserable as theirs....

female images and human attitudes have been multiple combined across a wide spectrum of economics.

the spectrum of feminist powers related within non-typical historic positions show a new breed of political women and has a sort of bold assertion.

the ladies are being type-cast somewhat.

and the reaching out of home into inter-changes of impersonal powers creates contradictions with some severity and edge.

it seems that to buffer the edge of masculinities which rub on/off her needs clear prefacing for personal and/or social purposes to be realized/sympathized with by those who may not comprehend the nature of some of her ambitions.

it is not enough that she be gracefull....pray she remain so.

but now she must also make the distinction for what she asserts/submits.

and this is where power must be translated. otherwise she may appear used or abused.

it is a very difficult image to manage given the numerous other female images poised to out-compete (by virtue of human realizations of man and/other woman.)

the female grace and image is not one to easily portray competetively from any too discreet or not discreet enough confusion.

which is why i love her image in domestic relationship to government rather than government relationship to domocile.

women is a grass-roots sculptress first and foremost. matters and airs appealing.


be well all women and the men who will love her/support her.

equality is not only about integrations. equality is about doing and being what you do be best.

and women are superiour social creatures as it relates to the creation of home and therefore community.

and although there are ambitious to show these gifts...it is not yet the quiet strong force which the community wants/needs.

and the beauty of it is that government will respond to her from ease and not of mandates.

she will not need abundant resources first when/where her personal/collective creative forces are gathered.

watch the men pitch in...

watch evolution in the making.

.....***.....you are hard on what is created for purposes which see to over-look responsibility for creation. this means that you support a style of relationship which be good for you. and what else but what would be. but there be good knowledge to realize (and therefore have sympathy with) mind-sets of 1st or 2nd or 3rd degree manifestations which present realities however murky in motif.

there is not blame ... there are responsibilities with/in creation

exaggeration of tragedy*ies* meet not the just of relationship.

the tragic and asymmetricals of reality are love with fear composed.

and for this you must accept responsibility in your own perception to what is seen or not seen for the most clear of conscious/conscience.

a little blindness is tragic and we each have a blindness.

in a perception there is a natural displacement of vision/attitude to an other perception.

so in relationship there are always two beings in constant choice to renewal and remembering....remembering as in responding to a common vision or agreed and accepted principles and truths.

all super natural nurturance.

while softly the candle burns for you .......

bewellall

Women sometimes make very poor choices concerning their personal relationships with men. They will interact with a man based on ("their") needs. Some women have no boundaries, all they see at the time is an instant fix and do not take the time to get to know the man. this is very tragic. Lack of education in western society period concerning how a man and a woman should respect one another is not available in the institution of learning as well as in the household doing their formative years.Recent studies have shown that wives murdering their husbands have increased dramactically. Lack of spiritual education from within the religious orders also play a major role. Last, men with an over aggressive nature always have to play the dominant role because of their lack of education that has been given to them by their upbringing.

Yet again ... women like to trot out that proven lie. Women don't earn less than men. Women have never earned less than men.

Women who work part-time and women who voluntarily leave the work force are included in the statistics. This is why the "average" is lower for women.

So take off your feminist blinders and try to be honest.

You say things we have not done, while I see all that we have accomplished.

There is no other place on earth where women have the liberties and opportunities we do, with perhaps the exception of England.

All humans struggle. The question should be, what am I fighting for?

I think we need to blame it on 5000 years of civilisation. I don't believe that we can achieve such a complete change of attitude in the short time we have been working at it. Check again in 100 years.

I think that first you need to find the number of societies that have true gender equality.....and then you can blame it on culture and biology
