-I'm just waiting for it.
-Would you be so kind to help me take my bags off?
- No.
- Whaaat?
- Excuse me?
- Simply no. Does anyone help me?
- You're a man after all, aren't you?
- I'm totally for the sexual equality of women and men.I'm a real protagonist. And you are an fully equal woman.
- But you are probably not a real man.
- You see us, men, only... when you need us to take the trash to the bin...fix the plug... free a seat in the tram, bus.I'm not a full man any longer, because there's no need for me to be like that.Though You are a real man.

I dnt know much on the subject but didn't feminist movements get us to the point we are today?

eg, voting rights, jobs etc?

But so what? Banging rocks together to get a spark got us to where we are today also. Do you still heat your cave this way?

[Bumble_bee]

well I can't argue with that Indie, but that's evolution of mankind on the whole isn't it?

I'm not even sure if there ever was a MAN calling for the equality of the sexes, in past history, and I think that without certain feminist movements, however far we have evolved, the Female race might just as well have stayed at home, had it not been for those who spoke up and empowered generations past.

I'm no feminist, My dad worked day and night for our family, and I see nothing wrong with a woman wanting to stay home and raise the family and look after her man who works hard to keep food on the table and a roof over heads. But I don't have that, I am a single mother who wants to be able to go out and work, study etc, provide for my son just as a man would, it may not all be down to feminism, but I acknowledge that it had a big part of why I am able to the things I do today, and I am niether surpressed nor judged for it.

Judging from the posts of several men on this forum, it still seems that many of you need to bang rocks together to get the light to turn on upstairs.

Your words were too stupid to respond to. You wrote absolutely nothing worth further discussion. Don't confuse 'not worth responding to' with 'so good no one can respond to it.' If you want my attention, you'll have to write something slightly more intelligent than: feminists hate men because I said so.

But you are right about the Parthian bit, since I am part-Persian.

You've made an incorrect assumption MV. I'll let you figure it out.

Bumble_bee, if you read about how any significant power shifts occurred historically you will learn that it always requires support from those currently holding the power. In fact, noone can actually hold power of any sort for any amount of time without the agreement of others.

White people recognized racism was wrong, rich people realized that poor people should be helped. Not all, not even a majority in all cases. But enough with power sufficient to make things happen. It doesn't take as much as you might think.

So, yes, men definitely supported equality of the sexes. Who do you think were the one who voted to allow women to vote, or run for office?

[Aeradalia]

Women tend to forget that... it was a group of men who helped women in their quest for equal rights.

There are still men who support women even now in their quest for true equality. Some of them are on this forum.

As much as some women may hate to admit it, the entire feminist movement owes its success in part to men.



I need to get a shirt that says that and wear it to the next feminist rally and see who doesn't get upset.

They serve in combat positions in this place

Which is Israel, the 1 state where women are allowed to serve in combat positions

It's great that feminists in other countries now have a role model and will be so eager to follow in their footsteps. Feminists everywhere are demanding that women citizens in their country be given the same rights as the women in Israel!

Are they doing that, or are they clapping their hands because they only wanted to prove that women are capable of serving as soldiers, but don't want to do it themselves?

I say send the women in there. I just don't want to hear the women bitch because they are being judged by their PHYSICAL abilities and put into positions that work best for the military NOT their egoes. Hate to admit it, but typically the female body type works best to be in the rear with the gear.

Also, I'm not too keen on the idea of pregnancy on the battlefield. Can't they take birth control during their tours?

[IndiReloaded]

I don't want to fight as a soldier. Pick up a rifle and protect my family, yes. But not as a career choice.

I'd rather be M....
