It is agreed that a woman can exert huge amounts of power just by being attractive and warm. She can open any doors and accomplish any task... She has the power over most influential men as most of them are suckers for female beauty... This is the essence of female power. When women realize they do not have that kind of power they grow agressive and resentful. So they go for the male type of power. That is how feminism was born. Agree or disagree?

correction: no woman ever has any control over me, unfortunately I cannot say the same about my fellow men...

Hmmmmm, so you’re saying that pretty women have control over you? That makes me want to put on my shortest skirt and high heels, then convert you over to feminism.

I make it a personal point of honor never to agree with anything you say.
And when I finally catch Rebirth and finish him off, you're next.
But for the record, when I was young I learned exactly what that kind of power meant, and I liked it. Eventually it became irrelevant, because what you get when you play that card does not last. No, feminism was not born from the loss of that power. True charm does not age and does not die. True equality is just that - it has nothing to do with charm.

Disagree. There are at least a few valid cases that demand one's better judgement . I am sure you will also express some of the ideas of the feminists if you see the living conditions of some very unlucky people of this world. There is only one life and our ultimate aim should be that nobody has to live a bad life without any choice or hope of getting a better life.

Many feminist leaders have been very attractive and feminine-looking. But they didn't want to gain power just by being attractive. They wanted to be valued for what they thought and what they said. The intent was to make "the male type of power" gender-neutral.

disagree - men took advantage of their position as sole provider to be abusive both mentally and sometimes physically.
The Married women of the late 1800's and early 1900's raised their daughters to want freedom and to fight for it.
They wanted their daughters to be able to be apart of an intelligent conversation, to not have her worth in being married.
even to the point of not having to marry if they did not want to.
at that time womans value was only in how fast she was married and how fast she had kids. To be able to stay single and carry a job with out a horrible stigma was huge.
To understand the time really you would have to read old family diaries or really research it.
An easy way to show the time period is that a black man was able to vote but a woman was not.
The early "feminists" are nothing like the feminists of today.
edit:
Women were sold off to marriage so she would not burden her family, many times they were "forced" into loveless marriages with drunks and abusers. I am very very glad I had a choice in who I choose to marry.(or that i could have stayed single)
I am not happy with the anti men feminists of todays period but I am very happy for the initial Emancipation of woman.

This is getting close to what i would like to discuss...it's about woman's sexuality but from the angle of who does it belong to? Is it only about 'power'? Do we m/f have the right to try to love and be loved back?
I have many times thought, as a woman, i will have to be more male and/or (aggressive) to get done what i want done. This seems not right to me. And if i'm not being too far fetched, do i have the right to think anything 'belongs' to me? lonewolf

Beauty is only skin deep my friend, and never allow the shallowness of your persona to over-ride your logical mind.
Look inside of the woman, and find what her heart and mind are like.
Looks will fade, it's only a matter of time, inner beauty seldom fades, in fact, it usually grows more beautiful with time......
I also disagree with your assumption.... As far as opening doors, I'll do that for men and women alike, lol.....As far as exerting power over me, just ask my mate about that......lol...

Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie... I thought you smarter than this backwoods droll... "women are pretty and feminist are ugly huhhuh"
I will agree that beauty for a women has its advantages, BUT it is silly to think that women's libertarian for rights, such as VOTING, where founded because of jealousy and looks???
Also - I know a large number a attractive females that are soooo insecure because of being attractive... doesn't make any sense to you does it Ronnie?

What a very male point of view.
Did it ever occur to you that a woman can exert huge amounts of power because she is capable and smart?
It is the Males in society that judge a woman on her physical beauty and who react accordingly.
Like men, a woman has the right to use whatever assets she has to succeed.
Beauty fades but dumb is forever....get it?

Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir - Prime Ministers of Britain and Israel respectively - were neither young nor particularly attractive (admittedly a subjective evaluation) when they achieved their greatest successes.
