Whatever you say, dear. By the way, our civilization is going out of business. We are not replacing ourselves at a rate that would continue our little corner of the species.
We've looked into this, and it turns out that men are not able to have babies. We men realize that you women no longer want that job, but before you go, we wonder if you might suggest someone who could assist us in preventing the loss of our cultural and genetic legacy.
There's no question that you are entitled to have your very own big-screen TV's. Equality demands nothing less. Still, it seems a shame to let such a marvelously inventive and freedom-loving culture vanish from the Earth. So if you have any ideas on who else we might enlist to help us prevent that, do let us know.
In the meantime I suppose we'll have to work on machines that can do it. That's how we men solved the problem of not having wings; perhaps we can deal with a lack of wombs the same way.
In any case, you should go off and enjoy your big-screen TV and not bother your pretty little head about it. This civilization stuff is kind of our bag; we'll figure it out somehow. When we do, it will all be our fault.
You mean, since men existed.
Toys/ things, yes that's what I have. They are not me, and do not define me though. They are simply external aquisitions. "Everything" is my life and that of my kid's and grandkid's.
The article and thread simply list burdensome factors that exist, none of which are an excuse for anyone to behave badly. Some of which are imposed by the govm't. The article's conclusion is, "Indeed, feminism is the main cause of the most pressing problems facing western societies." This is false. Feminism is no more than an ideological element of socialist strategy. It's used to obfuscate and obliterate the absolutes of right and wrong. The ideas that are to be replaced by what is politically correct. ie. the subjective, not objective truth.
Behaving involves making a choice and taking action. Whether it's good, or bad depends on objective standards, not the subjective. There is no objectivity whatsoever in applying gender to any of this. Attempting to do so is either an error, or an authoritarian claim.
Most of the posts used gender allegorically, or as fact in their particular stories/descriptions, not as a cause. As far as the idea of gender having any influence on reason, decisiveness, or the ability to comprehend and apply objective morality, I find it doesn't. Without them the nitwits wouldn't have a majority to work with. It is in fact men that do impose the combat power necessary to impose the ideological crap that infests the world.
Just wanted to let you know here's one woman who agrees with you wholehartedly and have been trying to tell many the same thing. The breakdown of the family this has caused is heartbreaking. In response to Ta Wee, much of what has been said about women being chattel in the old days is simply not true. And why whenever a woman is seen in the role of being a mother and homemaker, do feminists put this down? I thought they were supposed to be for women, but it seems like feminist are only on the side of women that act like men. If women are so great, why is it so horrible to act like one? And as with any struture in society, there can be abuses of the system, but we through out the baby with the bathwater. The way God designed the family with the father as the head works the best (he might know something since he created the whole universe) but cannot work perfectly in this world since we are not perfect. And Jesus was the only true women's liberator. Our children are growing up in a no-man's-land, and it's all the feminists fault.
