it seems...

emotions are going out of style ...
men have been asked to supress them starting as early as childhood. Now a days women are even looked down upon for not being able to control theirs. I find it strange, isnt that what makes us human and seperates the sexes from eachother. Are ability to feel and love freely?

Now its sleep with him if you want but ... dont get attached/emotional!

date him if you like him... but dont act like u like him/her too much 2 sooN!

or excuse me im getting emotional!

srry its hormones!

make sure he says I love you first blah blah blah!

im over it. If i wanna cry ill cry. If i wanna love Ill love n if I wanna call you on saturday and tyra tells me wait till atleast tuesday! I dont CARe!!!

Seems two arguments intertwined here. For the talk of emotional freedom, I don't think there's ever been an expiration date stamped on when a person can be erratic or sound-minded. Men cry, women scream, and they always have a significant reason as to why. She did this, he did that. Then the rules of how to deal with them start tossing back and forth like pineapple grenades, leaving people in pieces over what went wrong. However, it's been said that the world is becoming increasingly feminine. Is this true? Have you traversed the globe for this conclusion, or was your decision born after flipping through a few pages in Vanity Fair and Allure? I say, find the Diogenes of Sinope in yourself and hunt out irregularities where you live, if that's your great passion. Besides, what harm is there in a more feminine society? For thousands of years it been a masculine environment, resulting in war, oppressive government, fanatical religion, and reality television. Granted some of these may, or were, caused by women, the lead thinking was that men ruled the world. And besides, with two genders, you get a 50/50 chance one won't be as big a screw-up as the other.

Careers and jobs today are like wild spinning wheels. You hang on for dear life, assure yourself you're doing fine, and go in repetitive circles at speeds unknown to most NASA scientists.

It's a small world indeed.

@GreatBull: -- My mom always stressed having a 'career' over a 'job.'
Chris Rock even said that the difference was with a career, you're sad when the day is done, cuz you want to do more. with a job, you can't wait until the day is over to get out. I have a job now, im working toward my career. ---

Totally agree! In the end, nobody should spend halv their life-time doing something they don't really want to do. It's a waste of time and a waste of life. Find something you want to do, a passion, and do it. You'll find your life truly fulfilling, and you won't mind taking your job home with you.

"For thousands of years it been a masculine environment, resulting in war, oppressive government, fanatical religion, and reality television."

Yeah Duke, you're totally off here. I thought so too when I was an innocent little child. But in the end, it's about human nature. There are many differences between men and women, sociological and biological, so I won't be getting into that. But when it comes to the welfare of the world, in the long run, I don't think it would make a difference.

Also, you can talk about 'what if' scenarios, but I think most of us know deep down inside that women will never 'run the world' as men do now. Not because they can't, but because they don't want to. There is a huge difference. Women don't crave power much as men do. They want powerful men, and behind every powerful man there is a woman. Men take on responsibilities they can't handle; women are more realistic. That pretty much sums it up, I think.

supressing anything will make u feel miserable, eventually the bottle will pop

@GB I totally agree!!!! LOLLLL

I beg to differ.. um as much as i can't stand her.. Mrs. Clinton is a prime example of women wanting power. More and more women are wanting this.. i work in corp. america and in just 7 years i have been here.. the number of women executives has tripled.

not ment for womens lib deliberations.. i just thought that logic was way off...

My pops worked at a high school and it would blow my mind what he had to deal with. Parents are expecting teachers to raise their kids. yet they can do no form of discipline or the teacher gets reprimanded. My dad got written up because 2 Junior females were brawling in the hallway.. one was banging the others head into the floor.. blood every where. My dad ran out of his classroom.. grabbed each gril by their arm and separated them. BOTH parents went after my dad. saying he shouldn't have touched them blah blah blah... the girl with her head getting smashed in, had a cracked skull and 23 stitches.. not a thank you for pulling that girl off my kid, not a nothing.

Our school system is a joke.. they are day care centers...

and I think it was enfant.. or whoever.... Pinapple Grenades.... funny as hell...

that statement really made you sound like a life-rookie.lol
-----------------
well i just turned 21.. so i guess i am..Gb, We all gotta start somewhere.

I have a feeling this post is going to end up somewhere... just completely different then it started. But hey dont let me interupt.. please.. carry on.

I don't read those magazines either, it was merely a long shot at what might have been a reason. Is it really human nature to kill on massive levels? Seems like it. Most creatures native to this world manage to resolve issues without mass extermination. Though we are simple creatures of nature, we tend to forget it on a dangerously regular basis. As for being in a war zone, does it make a person any more or less aware of the dangers of a battlefield? Justification or dismissal of war can come from someone who's either been in, or near battle, and it can also come from someone who's never even held a firearm, much less seen bloodshed. To say, "I've been in a war, I have a right to say," is true, but even those who have not are equals on this planet and should at least be given a say. So don't try to pollute this with "Have you ever..." rhetoric, as its a cheap shot. As for fighting over resources, that's another excuse. If my water is shut off, do I pay my water bill, or clock the neighbor and use their water instead? In the words of Michel de Montaigne: "The souls of emperors and cobblers are cast in the same mold...The same reason that makes us wrangle with a neighbor creates a war betwixt princes."

So then we all agree that its not being a man that causes war or other problems of today or yesterday, but human beings being...human beings. That being the case, does it matter if we have a male or female ruler of the world? Both can equally turn this world into an upside shit distributor, or the New Eutopia. And to live under some foolish pretense that women do not wish or want for places of power are as naive as those who believe Jonah camped out like the Mr. Rogers of a whale's colon. Speak for oneself, but never for the female gender, it makes you sound...off.

Don't worry about sounding like a rookie at life deeZired. Few people in this world, including those who speak their mind here, have any firm grasp on things. Just remember, if someone belittles your personal discoveries because they've already seen the light of day, just ignore them and remind yourself that those discoveries are yours alone. Because of this, it makes them new, in a way. Another good thing to remember is that no one ever has the real solution; so be 21, realize the things that have always been known, but at least know who you are.

I never said there was a difference between genders, I only stated that society has regularly been declared as being male driven. As for killing your neighbor for water, why not ask for it first? Is diplomacy not the first sign of a modern and civilized person? You choose bloodshed over diplomacy, therefore you are an image of your own rhetoric. Oh well, can't win them all.

Animals want to live, yes, but how the animal chooses to live is what defines them.

How simple.

@Lunamistress: "supressing anything will make u feel miserable, eventually the bottle will pop"

Don't know if you are with me on this one or not, but that's exectly what I say. Some say that gender is a sociological factor, that it is created by man to keep women repressed. But I wonder, can you really be repressed for thousands and thousands of years? If women and men were suppose to be alike by nature, then that bottle would have popped a long time ago.

Don't get me wrong. I only think we should accept the fact that men and women are not driven by the same forces, but we shouldn't stand in anyone's way of finding their place in this world. Regardless if you're a woman running for a president or a man applying for a secretary job.

Agree to disagree. Sounds like a French-Aristocratic way of saying, "Whatever."

Is the thought process so disturbed that men think women will relinquish all they've earned, or struggled for for the sake of a man? And if this is the argument used, how many men have abused or handed-over authority and power for the sake of a woman? How poems and would-be epic tales are hemmed around that plot? No, women crave power as much as men.
