I think men should take out the trash and not cry. I should be able to giggle and swing my purse. I look people in the eye and know how to get what I want. I'm far from a pushover.<BR/><BR/>My point? Just be true to your nature and not worry about what society dictates.S*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06902408777018272415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444239424280440405.post-60236673087182082892007-04-16T16:37:00.000-04:002007-04-16T16:37:00.000-04:00I am not a feminist.

Filmaker reminds me of the old version of XXB (assuming, of course, that he's done a total 180).<BR/><BR/>I think the biggest problem with the whole women vs men scenario is that some women are too afraid being labeled a feminist so they back down and other women wave their feminist banner so proudly they make moderate feminists look bad.<BR/><BR/>Wearing a bra does not make me anti feminist. It means I want/need support for my girls. <BR/><BR/>Asking a waiter nicely for something doesn't make me anti feminist. It means I like to extend the common courtesies I'd like to be shown.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that men are to blame for all of these problems either. Honestly, I think its the uber feminists who have pointed out and preached about womens supposed inferiority who've done that. Sure, in the 50's and before, women had a role and yes, when they wanted to go to work a "Real job" there was alot of backlash....but not nearly as much as one would think and also, when life changes, of course, you'll freak out.<BR/><BR/>Men and women are NOT equal, in most aspects. Do we all deserve the same opportunities, respect, dignity and pay? Yes. But that doesn't mean we are equal. <BR/><BR/>How often has the generalization of a male hair dresser been that they must be gay? All the time. How often do you see a female firefighter that you automatically assume is a lesbian? All the time.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Men of older generations are alot more polite to women than "men" our age. The older men hold doors, let you get on the elevator first, the whole nine yards. I'm sorry but I'm not offended by being treated like a lady. <BR/><BR/>Respect is respect no matter what your gender is.<BR/><BR/>Men that are jerks aren't that way because we, as women, are inferior. Its because their parents were sub-par parents.<BR/><BR/>I know this was a ramblin' comment but I don't really have time to go back and make sure it all made sense so hopefully you get what I was trying to say.Sheila (Charm School Reject)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11775166583905784450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444239424280440405.post-91042164282594169932007-04-16T14:52:00.000-04:002007-04-16T14:52:00.000-04:00I hate when anyone looks me in the eye.I hate when anyone looks me in the eye.Moderatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02318879290010704973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444239424280440405.post-66098059295794168072007-04-16T13:45:00.000-04:002007-04-16T13:45:00.000-04:00hhhmmm.i don't think being nice should equate to b...hhhmmm.<BR/>i don't think being nice should equate to being weak. <BR/>That's a shame the world predominantly thinks that way.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859110058247136307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444239424280440405.post-16923277708419377312007-04-16T11:50:00.000-04:002007-04-16T11:50:00.000-04:00Why are 91% of all workplace deaths male?Why are 91% of all workplace deaths male?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604787489350063303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444239424280440405.post-14160191565708920792007-04-16T09:03:00.000-04:002007-04-16T09:03:00.000-04:00I find that in the workplace, I behave in the typi...I find that in the workplace, I behave in the typical female fashion and speak only when spoken to in meetings. Which is more pronounced since I work in a chemical plant where the vast majority of employees are men. And I feel intimidated not only because they are men, but because they are much older than me. Old enough to be my fathers and grandfathers.<BR/>And maybe that is why you stepped out of the way for those two men. Were they older than you? Were they successful-looking business types?Beatrix Kiddohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854135299466261091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444239424280440405.post-60415331593324802152007-04-16T04:17:00.000-04:002007-04-16T04:17:00.000-04:00you're complicated....very very complicated.you're complicated....<BR/><BR/>very very complicated.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442909430914123230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4444239424280440405.post-88860519086807555012007-04-15T20:54:00.000-04:002007-04-15T20:54:00.000-04:00What airam said.I used to get stressed out over th...What airam said.<BR/><BR/>I used to get stressed out over the inequities of crap like this.<BR/><BR/>Then I realized that I couldn't change it, much, and kept being me.
