I think there is less segregation between guys and gals, especially witht those under 30. They have different relationships with each other on a friendship basis than would have been considered "proper" in days past.

If it wasn't for "feminism" (sexual equality) your choices and options wouldn't have such a broad scope.


Would you like to go back to the day you couldn't vote?

You wouldn't be allowed to discuss business with men?


Have only three career choices, houseslave, teacher, prostitute?

Be told you're so incompetent you can ONLY get married and have babies, it's your ONLY role in life??


Be paid significantly less than men doing the same work because your employer thinks single women don't need as much as men???



The list is endless....don't knock feminism 'til you KNOW what it is!
Most people don't have a CLUE what feminism is! What really gets me is that so few of the MEN who are complaining about it have an inkling of just how much feminism has done for THEM! As far as I'm concerned, men have benefitted more from feminism than women have. sure, it's made some of them weaker, but then there have always been weak men. Women just have more power to protect themselves from those weak men. The complainers are simply ticked off because they can't oppress and abuse women freely, like they use to.

Femiminism would relieve me of the duty to protect them except I like to protect women. Some of the most liberated like to be protected.

It didn't. That's not even a disagreement, that's just a blatantly wrong analysis of something that you admittedly stated you know little of.

It has to do more with technology more than anything. At work or at home, people under 30 communicate through texting and email.

I agree. I understand women having rights and all, but that does not mean that men should be imasculated (sorry if I spelled wrong) in the process.

If a man loses his "masculinity" because PEOPLE have equal rights , he had NO masculinity to start with.

AND that leads to the silly discussion of what IS masculine and what isn't.....and it's all in the brain of the individual.

Beating your wife is no longer legal....so if a man thinks it's "masculine" to beat his wife well, TOO BAD!

Have you seen one of my threads talking about the Cosmo mags? Someone put a post that said that in NY, men are taught in magazines to be feminine little flowers while women are taught to be b*tchy.

That's fine. The only 6 reasons i have to go back to the past are Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, and Clifford Brown.

Outside of that, there are no God's for me.
