Really Not Okay Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 722	August 29th, 2007 at 07:30pm LoversHeartDisease: Girl next door: LHD- your post made me crack up laughing. i have no idea why we have better health and superior brain activity then men, but woman do live longer then men because of those reasons. men die most of the time from bad health or they do something, without thinking twice, and end up getting hurt or die. the only thing men have the upper hand on is strength, men are a lot stronger due to genics. thats really it, but with everything else, we got it good Sometimes I do hate men though. I always say "even the most decent men are assholes" Mostly out of anger XD Eh, and we have the whole birth/period/feminine issues thing. Ew Yea, I do think that women having to deal with the child-birth, periods, menopause, etc. is totally unfair. So sometimes I am jealous of guys cause they don't have to go through anything except wanting to sleep with us! We got jipped.

Salute You in Your Grave Age: 96 Gender: Female Posts: 2731	September 1st, 2007 at 01:33pm We were in camp recently and there were seven of us, all girls, sharing a tent and one of the instructors, a 19/20 year old guy had a tent next door. I cant remember how we got onto this subject, but this one girl stood up in the middle of the tent and said really loudly, "Women get pregnancy, boobs, and periods! This is so unfair!" And then we heard this little voice from next door going "It's a hard life..." Anyway. Lol. Men do have to go through a lot of shit as well. Imagine how embaressing it would be if you got an erection in the middle of gym?
I'm Not Okay90 Fabulous Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 154	March 25th, 2008 at 07:57pm I'm totally with you that it IS important. No matter how many guys think it's stupid. To many guys think that they can control girls. At my school we have 7 girls and 21 boys. They act like we're they f'ing housewives. We have had to have meeting as a grade about it. But they continue to do it.

[\quote] that, is actually not true. millions of babies are born with HIV/AIDS in africa because there mothers have it. it can pass through breast milk AND through blood.
Ignore Alien Orders Salute You in Your Grave Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 2026	March 28th, 2008 at 04:08pm No, it's true. It can be passed on, but it isn't always. If I'm not mistaken it's like 1/3 of babies born to HIV positive mothers get it themselves.
Littlemisschem Fabulous Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 129	March 29th, 2008 at 03:09pm I think women's rights has gotten much better over the years. I think there are some feminists that are kind of ruthless and they do step over the line a bit (well a lot) but at least it's for a good cause.
William the Bloody Killjoy Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 85	March 29th, 2008 at 11:36pm I'm all for what feminists believe, but some of them kind of blow the whole women's rights thing out of proportion. I mean, are guys really all that bad?
Frnk iero. Awake and Unafraid Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 11747	March 30th, 2008 at 12:39am This is the one things, I stand for STRONGLY. I'm not like anit-male. They serve a purpose. But I still say today, that We should have a few more rights. We do MORE then men.
Sonnet 130 Thinking Happy Thoughts Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 413	March 30th, 2008 at 10:18am I do think that women should have equal rights. I hate it when the boys in my classes are sexist; not one day goes by that a boy in my class makes a stupid comment. Women hold own society together and so do men. Women and men can do the same jobs. We have a massive work force because women can go out to work, countries have developed because of women. We need both genders, but i do not expect sexism.
stac-renee Killjoy Age: 51 Gender: Female Posts: 35	March 31st, 2008 at 02:39pm The Women had it good, they stayed at home and was taken care of. now, we are expected to work and do all the house work too - it sux. they should have been happy with just being able to vote... but noooo. The double standard sux too. if a guy brings a woman home for a one-night stand he gets another notch in his bed post. if woman do it they are sluts
Bring.The.Words. Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 3561	March 31st, 2008 at 04:55pm I think the time we are now is better then 50 years ago (women had to stay at home ....) now we can work...... But what unfair is men are more paid for (mostly) the same job they have (it depends on what you're doing) I don't hate men (far from it) ,it's just not far they're aways complaining ,we have our period ,we get pregnant .......
tabitha Bleeding on the Floor Age: 45 Gender: Female Posts: 1831	March 31st, 2008 at 09:02pm I really don't see what a woman's biological/reproductive bodily makeup has to do with women's rights. The strongest, most well-paid, most outspoken feminist in the world is going to have a period, unless she's gone through menopause or is taking Lybrel (God's true gift to women, damn but I love living in the future!). It doesn't change her stance on issues regarding equal rights and equal pay. Having a period, boobs, being pregnant, having a baby and spending the rest of your life celebrating your spawn's mediocrity, having a baby and getting a license plate or screen name that says ____'S MOM thereby defining yourself by your child rather than who you were before, pissing on the toilet seat because you squat rather than use those wonderful toilet covers and leave the disgusting mess for the next woman who has to pee, taking your brood of kids into the bathroom making single women have to wait in an annoyingly long line while your spawn run around and make a mess of all the stalls, plastering a fake face of Maybellene on every morning -- these are all things that, sadly, women have, or do. None of these things, however, have anything to do with feminists or anything they stand for.

None of these things, however, have anything to do with feminists or anything they stand for. I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that complaining about periods and whatever does more harm than good when you're supposed to be talking about womens' rights.
Frankie-Oreo Salute You in Your Grave Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 2818	April 7th, 2008 at 11:57am stac-renee: The Women had it good, they stayed at home and was taken care of. now, we are expected to work and do all the house work too - it sux. are you serious? i hope your being sarcastic. women who fought fopr these rights would be turning in their graves. its them that let you go to and finish high school, get a job, get paid more than just minimum wage, vote, do mens jobs such as factories and trades. would you rather sit at home and knit? i believe that if women did not have rights we would not even be on the internet stating our opinion now. coz you sure couldnt have said your opinion back then. go read a book, learn some history and see what the women who fought for our rights acheived. you will be whistling to a different tune.
Frankie-Oreo Salute You in Your Grave Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 2818	April 7th, 2008 at 12:00pm stac-renee: The double standard sux too. if a guy brings a woman home for a one-night stand he gets another notch in his bed post. if woman do it they are sluts also, that is not womens rights, its chauvenisim. do you want the legal right to sleep with as many men as possible? and have that as one of your many 'attributes'? i dont think any respectable woman would want to anyway.
Ignore Alien Orders Salute You in Your Grave Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 2026	April 7th, 2008 at 12:13pm Well I think it could be women's rights; throughout history and in some places even today there are double standards so extreme that a man can sleep with as many underage girls or women as he wants, but if a woman is no longer a virgin when she's married, she can be put to death. I'd even argue that male chauvinism is the root of a lot of the womens' rights issues in a patriarchal society, like ours. That's not to say that the reverse ("All Men Are Rapists," etc.) is the answer, though.

That's not to say that the reverse ("All Men Are Rapists," etc.) is the answer, though. I absolutly agree. I believe that all people should be treated equal, women, men, children, transgender, gays, bisexuals, all races, EVERYONE but i dont think that women or ANYONE ELSE for that matter should think that they are better than everyone (ive seen a few feminists with that belief) and I also dont agree with generalizations like 'Bad Businessman?' stated such as 'all men are racist' or 'all women can do is clean houses and cook' or 'all black people are gangsters' or 'all white people are rich assholes'. i dont agree with anything of that sort. I think that the real issue is humans rights in general, not just women. I think that people should just see past these exterior images and actually listen. It doesnt matter what the fuck anyone is, people are people and people deserve fair and equal rights, period. idk what everyone else thinks... mmk pm me or just comment

GO EQUALITY yer. i agree. im all for feminism. i think its great to have equal rights and everything but some feminist's just take it too far. i guess its the same with anything. but you tend to notice it more with feminist's. i dunno. nothing against them, its just some of them do.
