Rights

Lets talk equal rights for women. I don't believe women would be entirely all that happy if they were to have the same rights as a man. For example, if my girlfriend were to go into school with a black eye and say, "Yeah I screwed up and my boyfriend punched me in the face." I would become a social exile. I would lose most of my friends and all my credibility and respect. Now, on the other hand if I went to school with a black eye and said, "Yeah I screwed up and my boyfriend punched me in the face." I would be laughed at. There would be zero social consequences to punching me in the face for her. But why is this so? Because men and women have different strengths. Men are generally much stronger than women and thats why its taken so much more seriously. Its the same thing as if this altercation were to happen between myself at age eighteen and some ten year old kid. But if men and women generally have different strengths and abilities, why should they be given the same rights? I am all for women being allowed to do what they are able to, But if they can not do something as effectively as a man they should step down and not pull the equal rights card on us. But the same goes for a man.

  5. I would have to say no to that HB, I believe that the woman in a mans life greatly reflects who the man is, but does not entirely make him. And thank you for a female perspective on the matter Claire, I'm glad to hear I'm not just sounding like a male supremacist haha.

  7. There's a really stuck up femanist movement near me who preach that all women should be equal to men. Ok fair enough no problems with that, however they also say that the man should pay for them, and do everything for them.

    Pretty damn stupid

  8. Yeah volksjager that's one of my main problems with womens rights activists, they are so ready to get all the benefits of being a man, while being so unwilling to sacrifice the benefits of being a woman
