LOL.... Well, we know you don't know much about the United States of America. Just one example is Title IX concerning women and college sports. Here's a link for an example: http://www.eagleforum.org/column/2003/feb03/03-02-12.shtml and if I bothered to exert myself a little (and weren't pressed for time) I could find at least a dozen showing that there are still professions where women get lower pay and have to work harder to get the same respect. While things are getting better, they are still not fixed. There are very few professions where women are equals, and even fewer where women are more respected than men in the same job. quote:
Now, there are a TON of other vicious things done to men in America, but someone who does not wish to see, will not see what exists. America is not Iran, and I'm an American. I speak of my home. Um, yeah ... and your point is? There are also a ton of vicious things being done to women in America - "but someone who does not wish to see, will not see what exists" No one said that America is as bad as Iran - what was said is that no country has achieved absolute equality ... which is 100% correct. Every single country still has inequalities between men and women - and in general, they are more against women than men (not all, but most). quote:
I'm a 50+ year old woman, and my sex has never significantly affected my career. It's the product of what I do. And frankly, whenever I have put the energy into it, it's been fine. Matter of fact, whenever I choose, I have the ability to have a great deal of effect, simply because of my interests and my profession. Then you've been lucky, pure and simple. My mother has had various issues because of being a woman, although she happened to be in one of the jobs that women were the equals or betters of men ... she still didn't get pregnancy leave when she was pregnant with my brother - had to quit teaching. That was in the early 70s. quote:
I go toe to toe with men, almost every day and have since 1976. And I compliment American men, because they are almost always respectful, regardless of sex. They are a wonderful breed. They can be, obviously - otherwise, there wouldn't be so many of us who keep them around. quote:
And anyone who says differently is dishonest, and is allowing her agenda to control her, rather than the facts. um ... yeah ... have you visited a place called "the real world" lately? quote:
And my views on this whole forced femme thing are completely influenced by my primary interest and experience: men who were abused as children. If I otherwise like them, I'll accomodate their interests. They've suffered enough. And yes, they top from the bottom. So what?! Your views are yours, please don't expect others to feel the same. I probably have as much or more psych-based education as you do, and honestly, most people who have been abused as younglings don't need to be catered to - they need understanding and care. There is a difference.
