You want a good time, look up "Who (pronoun)" on Wiki.

*dies of objective/subjunctive/accusative case overload*


Also, boys shouldn't hit girls. And they should buy girls lots of presents and candy and do all the work for them and rub their feet and go to the store to buy tampons whenever they ask.

so girls can hit boys all they want? Until the boys bleed to death?
boys should forget about their own lives for girls?
I know you're using sarcasm but
seriously treating girls more special than boys is sexist
treating them bad is also sexist
<_<

Boys can use the tampons to stanch the bleeding.

And yes, sarcasm. biggrin I've already said what I actually think on the matter.

Although boys should still totally buy me girls presents and candy. On principle.

what about the other way around and make it even? to think of it, only one girl that isn't my mother in my life has done things for me. <_< ******** up right? And trust me, not exxagerating (sp)

Really, that's what "cracker" means? Does anybody actually know that anymore? My friends like to just laugh about it because it seems like a really ridiculous way to try to insult someone. biggrin

Of course, there are a lot of old slurs that nobody really uses anymore that don't make a whole lot of sense, especially since a lot of them are words that have other completely innocuous meanings. I post on another forum that auto-censors words like that, and most of us wouldn't know they were slurs if they didn't get bleeped out. biggrin
An american friend of mine used to call me it as a joke. We had a good laugh whenever I was actually eating crackers at the time.

*is currently eating crackers* ...Well now I feel like a cannibal.

Cherry: That would actually drive me crazy. My boyfriend is really sweet and always trying to do stuff for me, defend me, and what not. I can't stand people doing other stuff for me, it drives me insane. O_O

Cept cooking. I hate cooking. My boyfriend loves cooking. I stand by my belief that his love of cooking and my hatred of it is the reason we make such a great couple. biggrin

You should go back and find my first post on the matter. razz


Shiori: A happy medium is a good thing. biggrin I like the idea of a guy being willing to stand up for me, as long as he knows I'm also quite capable of standing up for myself. It makes you quite a formidable team if you know you can stand up together. smile

Although I'm with you there on the cooking. If one of you likes to cook and the other one likes to eat, you'll make a good match. biggrin

Bah, I did use an incorrect usage of the word whom, didn't I? I didn't want to say whose because it didn't sound like it would fit into the sentence structure to me. Now I feel like a moron.

...'tis also where I got my beliefs that men were the sexually abused party in our modern era.
A guy in my highschool english class did a speech on how "White Males" are the single most reviled group in modern times. Since everything you say is either racist or sexist.


Yeah, because black people and women make more then white men on average.

After all white men statistically get higher jail sentences then black men do for the same crime and circumstances.

"Cracker" has far worse connotations than "******" does.

Single white fathers make far less than single white mothers and far, far less than single black mothers.

Women don't think twice about black men walking behind them on a deserted street, but if it's a white man, they look behind themselves every ten steps with a hand on their purse (specifically, the pepper spray can).


Yeah. Caucasians and men are totally the most abused group of people. rolleyes
[/sarcasm]



Mmmmm, haven't heard of the equal pay act, have we?
Statistics are high due to population number. White males are low because statistically they're a tad high on the population scale.
Rapists can be gay too you know.

Mmm, why is it if I hit a Caucasian male whom's harassing me it's cool but if I hit a female whom is harassing me I go to jail? Why is it if I hit someone of a different race it's considered a hate crime? Why is it when a Caucasian male gets made fun of by his wife in commercials it's socially acceptable but when the wife gets made fun of, special interest groups rally?

Holy crap this thread moves fast. >>

If you hit someone because they are of a different race, then it is a hate crime because you are attacking them based on the group they belong to. A black person who attacks a white person because he is a WHITE is also going to have committed a hate crime. A white guy that mugs a black guy just for his money isn't going to be called out for a hate crime. Same goes for the black guy mugging the white guy. The only difference is the black guy's probably gonna get a harsher sentence.
If someone kills a white person (regardless of their own race), they are far, far, FAR more likely to receive the death penatly than if they kill someone of a minority race (source).

The Equal Pay Act means a lot less than you think it does. To this day, women still make 77 cents to the dollar a man makes. Source. Why? Education, years of experience, etc. Men are going to get pay raises a lot quicker than women are, too. They're also given more hours.

The special interest groups rally because sexism against women is still a very touchy subject. Men did NOT face hundreds of years of discrimination, nor are they continued to be objectified as sex objects in the media today. (There is far, far less pressure on men to be sexually appealing than there is on women). Fifty years of reform and getting more equality for women's rights does not even come close to the struggles they've had for hundreds of years.

Egast, my counter has been countered!


So education and years of experience is the wrench in the cogs? Well then, isn't that the fault of the female all together for not furthering themselves in academic study? Scholarships are plentiful to help for college education, SAT's and ACT's can be assigned fee waivers, and the high-school drop-out rates for females are actually lower than that of mens.

I disagree with that sex object statement, men are also going through pressure to be sexually appealing. If we don't have muscles, short hair (blegh), non-pale skin, acne-less faces or pearly whites that could blind bruce, we're deemed unlikable. Your gender may have had more years worth of suffering from discrimination, but to outcast men because they haven't had it as long seems a tad daft in my opinion. True equality can't be obtained if once side of the scale is heavier than the other, sadly though the scale changes weight with different subjects.

I don't think women deserve special treatment. I hold doors for anybody, regardless of their sex. If people wanna be courteous, awesome, but it shouldn't depend on the sex of the person.

Although I can understand preferential treatment for pregnant women/old people/people with their hands full... etc. But I don't think women are soooo inferior and weak that they can't possibly hold a door open themselves >.<
This.
Also I do practice chivalry but not the traditional.
I follow the modern version. >_>
as in not being mildly sexist along with a few other changes made so it works with todays society.
