If women make up say 20% of CEOs, how are those jobs off limits? Why do they have requirements in countries like Norway where 50% of the board has to be female?

According to other posts, besides teaching and what not, all jobs were off limit to women, including being janitors and garbagemen. So iff being a garbageman was off limits, then there is still no demand by females for women to be 50% of garbagemen. They seek equality only at the top.

Now you're just talking in circles to hear yourself talk.

If there wasn't interest in sports among women, there would have been no demand for something like Title IX in the first place. Obviously, if there are women and girls on the teams, there's interest. No-brainer there.

If women make up 20% of CEOs, to my eyes, that is proof that the glass ceiling is alive and well. If you don't know what that term means, you should look it up. Bringing Norway into it is a reach, and a poor one at that because if you are speaking of women's rights throughout the world, I'm going to point you in the Taliban's direction.

And again, women seek equality at the top because that is where equality has been denied them. Women were always free to be at the bottom. We don't need to demand equality there.

To bring this back to the intent of the thread, what does all of this have to do with male-female relationships in the age of feminism, anyway?

Is the fact that the women you run into socially have high-paying jobs and successful careers interfering with your lovelife?

You're living in a highly competitive area, among highly educated people. D.C. is a bastion of equal opportunity--if the federal government doesn't offer equal opportunity, nowhere does. If the concept of women rising to the top based on their education, skills, and achievements is that overwhelming to you, or that difficult for you to understand, then maybe you should relocate, because where you are, women are just as hard-charging about their careers as men are, if not more so. You're not likely to find many submissive, June Cleaveresque throwbacks there.

But all women who refuse to pay child support face the same consequences as men who fail to do so.

As has been suggested, if you have a problem with the Selective Service Act, why not lobby to get it removed entirely?

It seems more reasonable that way.

I don't see what is wrong with wanting to be the one in control of the relationship if everybody has a say in the decisions taking? if you would care to explain why it disturbs you that much. I want your honest response not your generalization explanation. Men do this men do that. I want you saying (I) at the beginning of every statement.

I don't understand what "It seems more reasonable that way" means--what does?--or what you are asking. I gave you a list of paradoxical points of view. I thank you for the clarification.

I love the points you gave out they demonstrate elements I would like to find in a woman. Once I really put myself into dating. Do you have a problem with the fact that I say That I would love to be the one in control of the relationship. Does it bother you to be called the Vice-President? in other words.

The points I gave out are paradoxical. I don't care if you want to say you're in control of the relationship; that's between you and your wife. I've never been called the Vice President, so your question is moot.

I certainly hope you find your little Happy Housewife who wants you to take control in the relationship

Successful relationships are not about control, they are about compromise, fairness and not being afraid to let the other person have his or her own way when it's important.
