One reason women take tradional male jobs is
to deny a man a real job
force families onto the street where
Hitlery's limo is waiting to run them over.
But seriously...
Can we repeal the 19th amendment ?
Women are natural socialist.
God bless Ann Coulter
Now there you go, thinking again.
All the talk about women's rights......... reproductive rights, contraceptive rights, lesbian rights, glass ceilings, step-on-your-neck patriarchs, women must work and put the children in day-care, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.........
It all goes in one ear and out the other, when a man and a woman are truly in love, searching each other's eyes and hearts, and, as if touched by an angel, wanting to fulfill their true destiny, their true roles.
When they see strong men fulfilling their roles, and strong women fulfulling their roles, they know the only way they can stop it from happening is by force, ala socialism. And, if they had their way, it would be brute force. Funny thing is, in order to exert that force, they would need to round up a bunch of guys in order to do it.
Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro......none of them organized vast armies of amazons. There was a reason.
Now, there you go, making me break a New Year's resolution not 10 minutes out of bed. I promised myself I would ignore illogic at FR by considering the source. This is not going to work.
No.
But when it comes to tasks requiring physical strength, well, women are still smaller than men. And while many women have just as much courage, ingenuity and self-possession in emergencies as men, only the most unusual women have the strength to carry the average overweight American out of a burning building.
I'll let my 5' 9" daughter know. She was also a volunteer firefighter for a decade--until her rheumatoid arthritis prevented her from qualifying--and was voted in as chief for four years by a predominately male company because of her qualifications, which included carrying the "average overweight American out of a burning building." And she got no break on her qualifications because she was a woman.
Of course, she had a tough time coordinating her fingernail polish to her turnout gear and the helmet made her hair flat. Other than that, she had no complaints.
Unfortunately, when I talk with women about society and government programs - in most cases it seem they lean towards socialism. Could it be this is a natural outcome of their nurturing tendencies – the very thing that we depend on most and admire in women? It seems, that women’s natural tendency towards “civilization” and “domestication” of men results in dehorning – and who knows what the ultimate results will be. We men have been re-programmed to believe that our daughters should have every opportunity as our sons enjoy – and I could not agree more. However, when it comes to a family and hearth – it seems God gave women the ability to do it better – but there are some natural and different rolls we play.
It may be over simplified, but my take is that one of the prime functions of a man is to create a situation where the woman in his life can go about making the home while unencumbered by the daily struggle to pay the bills. Unfortunately, in our most societies this ideal situation does not exist.
However, I know that it is unhealthy for a man to be constantly under the direct influence of a woman’s natural tendencies. A women's natural tendency seems to run counter to the essential and natural differences between men and women. At some point the male must be weaned and become the provider and protector. Men must be “forever vigilant” and gently resist this tendency of women to overly domesticate everything in their influence, whether the cat, dog, or their men – and whether in the home or in government.
I think it is obvious, that I love, admire, and enjoy women, but thank God for my male pals – and the things we do and the attitudes we share that women just don’t get. However, when we get through playing our “guy” things, where do we go, but back to our homes and the reality of the chores they assign us. I wonder who is winning this “battle”?
God protect us and this nation from the good women's natural tendencies!
Why should I have to respond to #4 before you respond to me? Answer the question.
Congrats for your daughter. Personally, I have no problem with seeing women doing what was considered typical "male" jobs, providing they can do the job. Unfortunately that's not the case where I live. The firefighters were sued, and had to lower the "standards" in order to allow more women to qualify, so that the "average overweight American" is now something like 125 pounds for the tests. That is what I disagree with.
You are absolutely correct.
I also believe leftwing, socialist men have mentally crossed the line and become philosophically effemenate. They become people with the body of a man and the mind and thought processes of a woman. They no longer have the ability to think like real men.
I would like some clarification on this statement, please. Who are the other people who beat or abuse women, if husbands are the last ones?
Also, if the flight attendants on this plane had been armed, there would have been less need to call for help. One - or six, or twelve - shots would have been much more efficient and effective than 6 men fighting one guy. But that might have offended some male egos, though, based on this article. Bad idea. /sarcasm
I'll let Condi Rice know. And Karen Hughes.
BTW, in your ideal world, is the burka optional or mandatory?
