Welcome to Gaia! ::

They wouldn't believe that though. I'm a terrible, horrible, evil person who forces pregnancy on women. Much like I forced my own existence on my poor single mother rolleyes .

But they were outnumbered 600 to 1. Did they actually think it bothered me that they chose to stand before an entire guild in ideology? As long as they weren't posting porn or harassing members, it really wouldn't have mattered.

Feel the Emo drama pouring in!

Quick! Let's all go watch the premiere of "The Hills" to see what real drama is! xd :

@Cyanna: Ha! Your mom sounds almost exactly like my mom. Although, my mom never did work outside the home after marrying my dad, that was her choice, not because she felt that that was the way women -had- to act, or because my dad/religion forced her to, but because that's what she wanted to do.

In a way, that sort of "feminism" reminds me of the Pro-Choice side: They say, "Oh, we want women to be equal to men, to be able to choose what they do!" When in reality, when they run into a full-time mother/housewife, they start complaining about how they are "betraying their sex," and whatnot. Comparable to how the Pro-Choicers are always saying, "Oh, we want women to have a choice!" Whereas when they find someone confused about whether they want a kid or not, they automatically start going, "Well, if you aren't sure, you should have an abortion." Or if they find a mother of 7 kids, it's automatically because she's Catholic. No you twit! It's because she ******** wants 7 kids!

I swear, the next time my mom gets pregnant and the doctor suggests she have her tubes tied, she's gonna strangle him. stare

@Sachiko: I don't think she's saying that you can't do those things. And domestic means someone who stays in the home, like a housewife... It's not a bad thing. sweatdrop It actually means, essentially, "Of the home." Like, domestic disputes are disputes within the family, within the home. Domesticated animals I would guess are called that because they live in such close relation to humans, almost within our homes (Like cats and dogs.) That doesn't mean, though, that a domestic wife is a "tamed" or enslaved wife. My mom would be insulted to hear domestic wivery referred to that way.

@World at large: I actually kind of like ThePeerOrlando, outside of debate (He's apparently working on his third banning, by the way). He's a complete a*****e, and I think that's part of why I like him; Because he knows it. And it's malicious intent so much as it is that that's just his personality. He pisses people off less because he hates them or whatever, and more because he thinks it's funny. Which is, of course, the definition of a troll, but hey, at least he seems to accept it. razz

Not defending him; Like I said, he's a complete a*****e. But I do think he's somewhat amusing at times. And you have to admit that he does listen to reason somewhat in that "This Guild's..." thread.

hey! my hair is past my eyes! AND i considered dying it black! I'm so not emo!!! whee

*goes off to write sad poetry in blood*

Oh my God I love you. crying

I normally don't like to drive sensitive points home but I just want to say, alot of what you say is true.

Being a guy, sociologically, you have alot of roles to meet up too, and the worst part is, you have so very few options. Women are accepted and loved no matter what, they're several open lesbians in my school, my Catholic school. As of right now, they're no known openly gay boys. The adonis male is a huge archetype for guys that most must live by, women? You guys can actually choose to be however you want to be and no one will judge you for it.

Well, I'm not really opposed to career women or stay-at-home dads, but overall, I follow the "women submit" way of cherishing and honoring their men and the "men provide and protect" way of cherishing and honoring their women. You can have both. 3nodding

No offense, but you did kind of make it sound bad to not follow the traditional roles. sweatdrop I agree, that's a beautiful way for it to work out. However, I -do- disagree with the "woman submit" thing, it just feels wrong to me. It really does feel like equating the woman to a second class citizen, because she has to "submit" to her husband.

I mean, don't get me wrong! Like I said, I think it's a beautiful way for things to work out, if the woman is willing to follow the traditional roles and the man is willing to follow them as well that's a great thing, but I really don't think that being submissive on the woman's part is a necessary part. sweatdrop Because I like dominant women. heart domokun

Oh, I know, I was afraid of Fushigi being offended. ^_^;; I agree with you, pretty much completely.
