I am woman! Hear me Raarr! But.. I dont feel like paying for this or doing any of that...

Gimme a break.. Women who are successful and stable are the ones who are NOT raised thinking they are a little princess and they should be handed everything because they are a woman.

Its societys fault they all think they should be so spoiled by men.

i lived in finland for two years, and they had really changed things that way.

women held the door for me as often as i for them, women split tabs, etc etc. and women were (statistically of course) more educated than men in the country. i liked it. it will take a while here for that to happen!

on a similar topic, i was a bit pissed today going to lunch at arby's when there were no parking spots and 4 handicapped spots. equality is right, but as we are equal, when all the spots are full, i should be equal to the handicapped guy and be able to take one of the 4 empty spots, no?

Funny thing. I've read in Scientic American Psychology that American men are raised to instinctively care for women, all women. For instance, if 2 soldiers, a man and a woman were on the battlefield and the woman gets hurt, the man instinctively turns around and tends to the woman in the heat of the battle. If it were 2 men soldiers, the unwounded man would continue the battle until it's safe to tend to the injured man. This is mainly because the men know they can take care of themselves, but not so with the woman. This might sound obvious in a social sense, but this is just the perception of instinctive gender differences analyzed. I was told this is the reason why a certain special force of the military don't allow women, period.

So taking this into consideration, perhaps American women were nurtured to be always be protected by men, inspite of their conscious will to be equal. Of course, there are the hypocrites, but if we talk about that, we'd just reiterate the stories of our past girlfriends.

The women that have the "I don't need no man" attitude are the idiots killing all decency towards women. Them, and feminists.

I sometimes fall into traps, but not often.
I see a autoclave in my future!

Feminists = same pay for same work, right to property and vote, right not to be property. No sweat.

Feminazis = misogyny = I hate women/men because they scare me

It's an issue of equal access. If you take the spot, then one less handicapped person can't even get to the Arby's in the time it'd take for you to park your car elsewhere and walk.

That said, nothing more satisfying than having some jerk off like you next to me when I park my car in a handicapped zone, have you give me stink eye. . .

. . . right as I'm grabbing the crutches for my girlfriend and walking over to the other side of the car.


Back on topic. Women don't have equal access in dating: they have it easier. If they want sex or attention, they can get it in spades.

If you reinforce intermittently, rather than all the time, demand increases.
