You are fish? in love with love? you are you? that's ok with me as long as you are you?

Feminism in my opinion may have gone off on a tangent with its orginal aim. It has negative connotation os women wnating to have the upperhand over men in terms of the the law adn marriage and power and wealth. But up to a hundred years ago the notion of feminism originally was established because women had very little power compared to men. Their status pretty much was dependent on the men in their lives. So back then feminism was a crucial concept to enforce in society to bring us to civilized modern times in terms of equality and basic human rights.

Anyway regardless of what feminism is synonymous with today, I believe that we should respect our sexual counterparts, while also acknowledging that we are different due to our different genders.

I think agression happens due to frustration over feeling at odds with one's nature. For example women and men shouting at eachother in public to get a reaction, perhaps this is some instinctive urge gone haywire due to the fact that now we are "civilized" and thus not prone to animalistic behavior anymore. Whereas, no matter how far advanced we become in science and technology and culture, we are still animals and we are still have our place on that evolutionary table, and perhaps we need to look at ourselves in this context.

I don't even think about whether I am a feminist or not. I don't care for labels. I probably do agree with a lot of the ideals of feminism but disagree with how they are put in practice. But I am more concerned with how women are still so sexualised today. That they are still regarded primarily by how they look and behave sexually and not what they say or do in terms of being constructive. Just looked at the whole crze of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears seeking notoreity by not wearing knickers in public. This is pathetic and women should feel ashamed that this type of behavior is being promoted. Right now often it feels that all you have to be is a pretty face.

MellowDee, I'm not sure how old you are, but, I actually remember when women could and often were, harassed by men. I remember seeing women getting beat by men in public and nobody did anything, except turn their heads to mind thier own business.

Several jobs, I was terminated from (less pay than the man sitting next to me, doing same work) because I REFUSED to sleep with boss. Once, a male worker came back from vacation, saw a new employee (me) and started talking about the size of my breasts and got a laugh with other males. It's not funny being treated differently from someone who is no different from you. What was there to do, tell the boss about it, just for him to look at your tits and shrug his shoulders with a smile on his face.

Smug this . . asshole. I can say that now. I guess I just learned HOW to talk to my man because of actually seeing women be abused publicly . . plenty of men beat their women. How sexy would it be, if he turned around and put you in your place with his fists in your face? Numerous women, today suffer with abuse in the home because SHE had a voice and spoke her opinion . . go to shelters of battered women . . it's not fucking funny or sexy.

I don't think about the term feminist either, obviously, since I had to look the word up. That label, I didn't bestow upon myself. I realize that the intent went a little off (by me), but, I am watery . . my emotions will take over from time to time. I was processing this as . . sexy to be a woman with a mind and using it to speak. I just don't think it's funny, or sexy to be treated badly by my man and calling it cute.

Seriously, I think if women actually witnessed this stuff personally, they would re-consider a lot of how they approach relationships 🙂 When I was in high-school, a girl got raped in the woods nearby . . . it was considered her own fault because she wore her shorts too short. Nothing happened, except her getting in trouble because of her wardrobe choice . . the boy . . everybody slapped on the back and said, "Now that's the way to treat your bitch". It's insane to suggest that women deserve certain treatment at a man's discretion and saying it's because he's not a punk. Children have no idea what i

It's taken the whole opposite side, like with your example of Spears . . to the extreme. It's because we dont' think . . . we don't really realize what it's like to be in those shoes because we are too young to think maturally, like Spears.

So bad that I missed the biggest get together on DXP ever 😢

Haven't gone though all the messages yet, but I guess you had a pyjama party and pillow fight as well?

hehehehe . . I guess it must have the territory thing . . party with the boys until another girl shows up . . we're so predictiable and silly sometimes.

notso, I'm sorry that the topic went "south" . . that was my fault. Chalk it up to stressing all day (which my girlfriend is fine this morning), lacking sleep and drinking too much coffee. I didn't mean to get so judgemental.

I'm sorry, sweetie . . I know you were trying to make a point that I wasn't seeing. I'm gonna watch that movie and when I do, I'll find ya so we can talk about it.

🙂

P-Angel I am 30, about to turn 31 and I am aware of how men held the monopoly of power in previous times, whether by direct personal experince or through what I have read in history books.

Personally my take on women versus men is that women actually were revered during certain times in history. If anybody has read Dan Brown's The Da Vinco Code they would recall the "Sacred Feminine" which was the feminine symbol of worship. Why did the bible portray Eve as the temptress who lured Adam to eat the forbidden fruit? Maybe because the powers that be at the time realised that women were indeed very powerful and thus made men feel threatened?

I'm just throwing that out there. I'm not into supremecy of one sex over the other anyway. But I'm just conjecturing about the motivation for men supressing women for so long in the past.

the reason that was was becuase women are seen as 'lesser' indivuduals to a 'phallus ruled' society....I think women are strong, very much so. but no one is stronger than their environment, and past....make amends, or remain bitter.

intellectually speaking: adjectives are strictly subjective

P, any guy who puts his hands on a woman is a pussy. Sorry ladies, gotta be blunt. This goes for any human being who can't reason their way through a wet paper bag! That's why I feel that emotions can complicate things, and that they should be directed by a stronger mind. I just don't know how to deal with an emotional type and hope maybe you ladies can help. I get the 'listening to your partner' bit, and the 'fair' approach, but how do I deal with it when you/I become emotionally blinded. I'm the emotionally persistent type, and I won't quit until I know how you truly feel; I want things out in the open, rather than just bubbling below the surface; the only thing that NEEDS to bubble is sex drive....
