"BS, you're full of it as usual

Class of nursing students today- about 40 of us all very competitive- maybe 10 of those are guys. Now who do you think rose their hands to run for elected class officials? Yeah, that would be the men. Granted I'm only going for treasurer (so not a leader), but wanna place bets which sex wins VP and P and which other sex gets secretary? huh? huh? ;>"

Were the men preventing the women from raising their hands?

Should your school impose quotas on class elections because the poor females can't handle competition on their own?

Ridiculous and infantilizing at the same time, hyblaean. Pathetic.

Nice imaginative story, too bad there's no evidence for it. Isn't it nice to make up feminist stories?

BTW, the paper is here:

You are, purportedly, aware of some mysterious passivity among the women in your class. You can't put your finger on it, you can't even really identify the depth or intensity of this odd feeling.

Therefore it must be real, and it must be the fault of "The Patriarchy".

Bring on the government programs and quotas - Feminist Passive Blob Syndrome must be overcome.

Here's the equivalent "logic" to your thinking: my 8th grade daughter ran for class president and won, against a mixed field of boys and girls. Therefore, you are wrong.

Emotionalism and lack of accountability are weaknesses of character. Try logic and taking responsibility for your own actions and you might feel like you have more agency in the world.

It will be hard to wean yourself away from blaming all of your problems on men, but it will yield better results.

My bad for misunderstanding- thanks for the compliment!

Porn = Abu Ghraib. Thanks, New Victorian Feminists.

Oh, by the way, there are laws on the books that would have allowed for charges of sexual torture and other sex crimes against the Abu Ghraib guards if their victims were female. No such laws apply to male victims.

No such special protections apply to the male victims at Abu Ghraib, simply because they are men, and not afforded the extra legal protections that women are in this case.

The rise of porn in America is the result of female empowerment + the rejection of any limits placed on women's behavior. Just read the news, and it becomes self-evident that to point out any faults in a woman's behavior is to invite a criticism of sexism.

Read Ariel Levy or Laura Kipnis. See:

for more. It's for lesbians, too:

To the publishers of On Our Backs - we salute you!

Wimmin empowered = wimmin in control of their sexuality = wimmin free of patriarchal "norms".

I am not blaming women for porn.

I am congratulating women for porn.

Thank you, sex-positive women of America. The Phyllis Schlaflys and Andrea Dworkins of the world be damned!

Thank you - everyone needs to make sure the prudish neo-Victorian feminists fail in their mission to destroy free sexual expression in America.

"And let me tell you, every time I take home my paycheck of .80 cents to the man's dollar I think to myself, "Damn, if only women hadn't oppressed men so much that we caused ourselves all this injustice. Damn. Parson Jim is SO right . . .""

Please read my posts in their entirety.

If you believe in the hoary feminist wage gap myth, you'll believe just about anything.

You are wrong. This was an empowerment moment for Ms. Palin.

In charge of her sexuality and not afraid to flaunt it in front of the Patriarchy, which would prefer her veiled and burkha'd.

An historic feminist moment was made in that video. n h

"If you're an Obama supporter who gets frustrated that people still believe he's Muslim or won't put his hand on his heart for the Pledge of Allegiance, you should understand the frustration that Palin supporters feel when this slime is taken at face value"

Complain, complain, complain.

Thanks, American Woman!

NO sex-positive feminism for you, Tracy. Not yours.

I lived in NYC for 11 years. You're a foreigner. Fuck off.

None.

I was sitting next to this women at abar, watching the debates, when it happened. The almost palpable moistness growing between her legs. The slight flush to her cheeks as her pulse quickened...the squirming, writhing release she tried to conceal at the midpoint of the debate, and the breathless afterglow during the remainder of the broadcast.

"I'm a feminist Democrat, and I'm voting for Obama", I said.

"Uhhhh", she moaned, nuzzling my neck, "Take me out of here, I'm so wet".

We got a cab, and went back to the Fairmont where I was staying.

"I'm starved", she muttered, taking off her clothes. We took a shower together, and she moaned Democratic slogans as I took her from behind, "Universal healthcare! Enhanced FMLA benefits!".

My hands glided over her taut, wet body, as she decried the Sarah Palins of the country and their ilk, and once more, I entered her. Eventually collapsing in a heap on the soft, warm bed, I muttered sweet nothings in her ear, as she drifted to sleep, "Democrats will propose a gross-receipts tax system for business income with low marginal tax rates and with credits for US gross receipts taxes paid by suppliers and repeal the majority of the rest of the income tax code for taxing business income".....

"we all know that the great majority of massage parlors featuring Asian women are merely fronts for sex slave rings."

Proof? Or more unsubstantiated overblown feminist rhetoric?

Ahh, you believe everything you read in the papers. Now I understand your "perspective" a bit better.
