Beyond the compliment I handed out....the rest of the message.... It stated clearly that American women are accomplished, too. You know what is problemmatic, though? Generally speaking, American women aren't very comfortable with the idea of being a woman. This is especially true for the Anglo variety. An unfortunately, popular culture elites continue to tell women that they shouldn't want to be women or feminine...well, except for pushing their boobs up so high that their nips are directly under their chins....what the hell is with that, anyway? Boy times change. I remember the late 1970's when minimizers were all the rage (a take off on the Mary Tyler Moore theme song is running through my head "...looks likes I'll tape them after all...")
Anyway, back to the main point...Women generally tend not to deal with this modern dilemma privately; rather, they make it a public issue. Result is that their frustrations with themselves become the frustrations for everyone else.
Giga--Thanks for the kind words--I'll try to stick around.
I have to agree with you on this. Because I have been out of the US 4 times (Been to Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Australia), and the girls in these countries tend to be more feminine than the ones here. But each country has its own culture, so things like this will differ from country to country. Plus I know I keep on going back to the feminist movement and all, but I think that this did more harm than good and I think a lot of the problems between males and females come from this.Quote:

Agreed--there are country by country variations.
Well, we have the Baby Boomer generation to thank for the way feminism turned out in long run. A good idea, well-intentioned, was ruined by the Boomers.
i agree with you. it's both ways too though. guys are starting to act really girly. look at the music guys put out these days, it's very whiney and depressing. maybe it has something to do with confused gender roles.
anyway i think you should stick around too cam. i just like to mess with you cause, well that's how i am.
Misombra thats a generalization. I don't think i'm girly, sure my hair is a bit long but i'm getting it cut short, i never wanted long hair but i did it beacuse when i was little my mo made me and it just grew on me and i got used to it. Me and my group of friend don't listen to whiney and depressing music. I don't think gender roles are confused for us. Especially for me, i'd honestly perfer an old-fashioned home like the one i grew up in.
I think whiney emo music is a sell out. Not ALL music is guys being whiney and depressive.Quote:

If their voices aren't whiney, their lyrics sure are. There's good music out there, it's just not mainstreamQuote:

Yup, I agree, and it sucks for those of us who WANT to be the girl. ;)
i don't get you guys. why is it a generalization only when it's directed at men, but it's totally okay to call women stupid and boring?
it just goes to show, the world hates women. maybe that's why women don't want to act like themselves. you guys are judgemental little pricks. how's that for a generalization?
Agreed. I've been reading this thread with slight disgust. Who cares if people want to act differently from "traditional feminine" or "traditional masculine" stereotypes?Quote:

Ya'll sound like a bunch of clueless jerks who can't see their own male privilege, so you assume it's not there. Feminism is simply the idea of equality between the sexes. Yes, you can recognize that men and women often have differences, but that doesn't negate the need for equality. The feminist movement hasn't caused "more harm than good", it's knee-jerk reactionary men who are afraid that they're losing power because of it.
Sombra, you forgot to leave nomas out of your generalization.
And, where did Vishnu post a pic that everybody's calling her a milf and wanting a piece of that?
And, how's everyone doing? Who's still around these days??
Nomas!! Buenos tardes! (?) How is life in Mexico? Have you found "the one" yet?
Ha ha...why is it always about "the one" and Love??!! You remember how much I used to try and dodge that subject! I'm a robot, remember??
Nah, actually, I'm trying to allow myself to be more human, now. A friend of mine told me I "keep trying to take the taste out of life"...it's lost in translation a little bit, but it basically means I should allow myself the normal human vices of talking about the same thing everyone is inevitably drawn to. So with that: Nope, still not "found 'the one'".
But there was a girl I really liked there. Whoa, what a long story THAT is, though. I'm not going to sit down and tell the whole story, but I'm sure you'll hear it in bits and pieces. I've got new theories because of this experience now, though. I'll share them as the opportunities arises.
But tell me about you all. Who's still around?
I see Frisbee's back. Lloyd? Did he kill himself after the Steeler's downfall? WHere's Tooxshort? Where are the rest???
what's up nomaste! you're officially exempted from my less than faulty generalization.
