Quote:“I draw a line down the middle of a chalkboard, sketching a male symbol on one side and a female symbol on the other. Then I ask just the men: What steps do you guys take, on a daily basis, to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted?
At first there is a kind of awkward silence as the men try to figure out if they've been asked a trick question. The silence gives way to a smattering of nervous laughter. Occasionally, a young a guy will raise his hand and say, 'I stay out of prison.' This is typically followed by another moment of laughter, before someone finally raises his hand and soberly states, 'Nothing. I don't think about it.'
Then I ask women the same question. What steps do you take on a daily basis to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted?
Women throughout the audience immediately start raising their hands. As the men sit in stunned silence, the women recount safety precautions they take as part of their daily routine. Here are some of their answers: Hold my keys as a potential weapon. Look in the back seat of the car before getting in. Carry a cell phone. Don't go jogging at night. Lock all the windows when I sleep, even on hot summer nights. Be careful not to drink too much. Don't put my drink down and come back to it; make sure I see it being poured. Own a big dog. Carry Mace or pepper spray. Have an unlisted phone number. Have a man's voice on my answering machine. Park in well-lit areas. Don't use parking garages. Don't get on elevators with only one man, or with a group of men. Vary my route home from work. Watch what I wear. Don't use highway rest areas. Use a home alarm system. Don't wear headphones when jogging. Avoid forests or wooded areas, even in the daytime. Don't take a first-floor apartment. Go out in groups. Own a firearm. Meet men on first dates in public places. Make sure to have a car or cab fare. Don't make eye contact with men on the street. Make assertive eye contact with men on the street.”

I am sickened by this thread.
The 'poor me' - the arrogance, the aggression, the snideness, the lack of respectful reply to carefully considered responses to BS not worth even engaging in.
THIS THREAD ILLUSTRATES THE NEED FOR 'FEMINISM'.
aggressive, self obsessed, whining, defensive, ignorant, misogynistic replies
thank you to every person here - whatever gender - who has made such an effort to try to educate, to listen, to discuss and to help people who are so unable to see things from anywhere other than their own perspectives - they've exhausted us
learn some 'his-story' ffs
GROW THE f*** up and open your eyes!
Quote:“Nature intended women to be our slaves... they are our property; we are not theirs. They belong to us, just as a tree that bears fruit belongs to a gardener.... Women are nothing more than machines for producing children." - Napoleon Bonaparte
"The female is a female by virtue of a certain lack of qualities; we should regard the female nature as afflicted with a natural defectiveness.” - Aristotle
“... A female is deficient and unintentionally caused. For the active power of the semen always seeks to produce a thing completely like itself, something male. So if a female is produced, this must be because the semen is weak or because the material [provided by the female parent] is unsuitable, or because of the action of some external factor such as the winds from the south which make the atmosphere humid.” - St Thomas Aquinas
“If it were not for some [divine] power that wanted the feminine sex to exist, the birth of a woman would be just another accident, such as that of other monsters [= a dog with two heads, a calf with five legs, etc.]” - St Thomas Aquinas
"Woman is a violent and uncontrolled animal, and it is useless to let go the reins and then expect her not to kick over the traces. You must keep her on a tight rein.... Women want total freedom or rather — to call things by their names — total licence. If you allow them to achieve complete equality with men, do you think they will be easier to live with? Not at all. Once they have achieved equality, they will be your masters.” - Cato the Elder
“A wife should have no feelings of her own, but share her husband’s seriousness and sport, his anxiety and his laughter.” - Plutarch
"“The whole education of women ought to be relative to men. To please them, to be useful to them, to make themselves loved and honored by them, to educate them when young, to care for them when grown, to council them, to console them, and to make life agreeable and sweet to them — these are the duties of women at all times, and should be taught them from their infancy.” - Jean-Jaques Rousseau
“feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians” - (Televangelist) Pat Robertson
“A proper wife should be as obedient as a slave.” ~ Aristotle
“The male is by nature superior and the female inferior; one rules and the other is ruled.” ~ Aristotle: The Politics, Book I
“Men’s courage is shown in commanding and women’s in obeying.” ~ Aristotle: The Politics, Book I
“Fortune is like a woman; if you wish to master her, you must conquer her by force. Moreover, she is more willing to be conquered by forceful men of ability than by timid cowards.” ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
“Woman in her greatest perfection was made to serve and obey man, not rule and command him.” ~ John Knox
“The husband hath by law power and dominion over his wife, and may keep her by force, within the bounds of duty, and may beat her, but not in a violent or cruel manner.” ~ Sir Francis Bacon
“Love well, whip well.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
“Woman is by nature meant to obey.” ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
“You go to a woman? Do not forget your whip.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
“Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee, And for thy maintenance commits his body To painful labour both by sea and land, To watch the night in storms, the day in cold, Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe; And craves no other tribute at thy hands But love, fair looks and true obedience; Too little payment for so great a debt. Such duty as the subject owes the prince Even such a woman oweth to her husband; And when she is froward, peevish, sullen, sour, And not obedient to his honest will, What is she but a foul contending rebel And graceless traitor to her loving lord? I am ashamed that women are so simple To offer war where they should kneel for peace; Or seek for rule, supremacy and sway, When they are bound to serve, love and obey. Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth, Unapt to toil and trouble in the world, But that our soft conditions and our hearts Should well agree with our external parts? Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot, And place your hands below your husband’s foot: In token of which duty, if he please, My hand is ready; may it do him ease.” -Shakespeare, Taming of the Shrew
"Women are the rails on which men run" - Saul Bellow
"A little bit of rape is good for a man's soul." - Norman Mailer
"It is the law of nature that women should be held under the dominance of man." - Confucious
"One hundred women are not worth a single testicle." - Confucious
"Henry VIII didn't get divorced, he just had his wives heads chopped off when he got tired of them. That's a good way to get rid of a woman - no alimony." - Ted Turner
"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society." - Rush Limbaugh
"Everything in women is a riddle of everything in women hath one solution. Pregnancy." - Friedriche Nietzsche
"Educating a beautiful woman is like pouring honey into a fine Swiss watch: everything stops." - Kurt Vonnegut
"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to shut that whole thing down." - Todd Akin
"Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder." - St Augustine
"Women, with their 2 fingered wisdom, have a difficult time understanding what I teach." - Gautum Buddha
"If it were not for women being admitted to our order, my teachings would have lasted a thousand years. Now they will not last 500." - Gautum Buddha
"If rape is inevitable; just relax and enjoy it." Clayton Williams
"I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." - Donald Trump.
but there's 'no need for feminism'?
NO NEED?? !!
