TheAnvil 0 #26 October 7, 2008 Odd that many women are then, isn't it? Or are you referring to the choice as to join a labor union or not? I'm pro-choice in that regard.

quade 4 #27 October 7, 2008 QuoteOdd that many women are then, isn't it? No. The real problem with the Women's Movement is that it has a number of factions, which honestly, is fortunate for you and me as Penile-Americans. If they ever all got together and decided anything, you and I would be royally fucked and not in a good way. Fortunately, religion keeps the factions of the Women's Movement (as well as most women on the planet) fighting among themselves. Men keeping control OVER women is part of MOST religious beliefs. Gee, I wonder why that is?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,534 #30 October 7, 2008 Hey -- don't knock with fashion reality shows Actually, to me one of the advantages of the many factions in the "women's movement" is that their existence means that more women can identify with its central core (equal opportunity) without having to say that they are exactly alike with all of those other women. Sarah Palin is a great example of a beneficiary of the women's movement. As are all the women here who post "I'm not a feminist" while they have challenging jobs and can pay for their own skydiving. The movement's becoming irrelevant to some is a good example of its having achieved its purpose. There's still purpose, but it's not as big; more focus, or localization is needed. Wendy W. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

wmw999 2,534 #34 October 7, 2008 I disagree with a whole lot of her stances. But I still say she's a beneficiary of the women's movement. I don't support her as a candidate for VP, but that's because of her issues, not her gender. And it doesn't piss me off that she doesn't claim to be a feminist when she's doing what feminists helped her to get. That's the whole point -- everyone should have access to that. Including poor people whose parents couldn't afford to send them to the right schools so they could associate with the already-powerful. Including women, who are supposed to be delicate, kind, feminine, and motherly. Including handicapped people, who often have to spend more time doing the things that others take for granted. Including minorities, who often grow up in those poor neighborhoods without access to what many consider to be "normal." Remember, the paradigm for "successful" and "to be emulated" in industry and politics was largely established by white males of European ancestry. That's why rap sucks, no one wears baggy pants, and clothing is supposed to not call attention. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

marks2065 0 #37 October 7, 2008 Quote Quote The actual quote: "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." So all you women better get out and vote for McCain/Palin! If you don't want to go to hell, that is. Well, I think that having Palin in office would be a step backwards for women's rights, so I'll help other women by voting for Obama. Not that I believe in hell anyway. Oh, and it's good to see that, while the rest of the country is having a financial crisis, Sarah can still afford to get her daily Starbucks. and you can still skydive even though the rest of the country is having a financial crisis. i guess it's how you look at it.
