Hi ST:

Your ‘transcript’ of your conversation with a feminist about sex was a keeper. I’m planning to use it – or the general gist of it – in conversations with my kids about sex and relationships. Do you mind?

Thanks -
TBG

On the average, women seem to be even more conformist than men..for a conformist, group approval is all-important, and heretical opinions that threaten the group’s cohesion are destabilizing to the conformist’s psychological balance…hence, he/she will want those opinions suppressed.

The increasing disrespect for free speech at universities is probably strongly related to the increased power of women in those institutions.

Summers’ remarks were seized upon, taken out of context and misinterpreted by many, including one female biologist from MIT, who walked out on the president’s talk, later saying that she felt she was either going to faint or throw up.

You just gotta love the contradiction here. Womyn are just as strong as men dammit, and him saying that made me so upset that law, I just got the vapors, well I nigh near fainted, and had to take to my bed of pain until I recovered. But womyn are as strong as men are!

Does this woman realize that she is a caricature?

My late mother lived in another era.
She was forceful but a loving wife and mother.
She did not like to be called Ms.
To me she was liberated by her own actions.

Well done, Sis. It’s pretty obvious that equality is not really the goal of liberal feminists. They want their cake and to eat it as well (a line I really don’t get, but I think it’s appropriate here). The differences are often glaring, but we’re supposed to be blind to them in order for them to achieve whatever it is they’re after at any given moment, yet, still maintain enough “courtesy” or “chivalry” to accomodate them when those differences hold them back.

Personally, I don’t care what it is a woman wants to do. I do care whether they are capable of doing it, achieving it, mastering it, by the standards already set. I don’t want the bars lowered to allow for them to pleasure themselves in fields for which they are not suited. It does no one any good to allow for such, and it certainly doesn’t speak well for them to have anything handed to them in the name of equal rights.
