i hate the womens rights movement

Depends who you talk to. But women are pressured to have a career, even if they don't want one. I see it sort of like a pendulum. It starts out far to one side: women have to stay at home and take care of the kids, no working allowed. This thinking gets abolished, but instead of just stopping at dead center, it has to swing all the way to the other side, where women are pressured to have a career and feel like a failure if they'd rather stay at home, just because that was once it had to be. The pendulum thing applies to a lot of other issues too, like racism, and sexism in general.

 

oh my god...man...some of the posts here have just made my day fuck haha
to the serious people with valid points (notice the word valid) i say thank you for your input
and i say thank you as well to the fucktards here too for making me laugh

i do actually have a job, a job that degrades me but thats a whole other thing, and when i'm older and i get into a healthy balanced relationship i will stay at home and i will be a fucking amazing wife, cause i just kick fucking ass :H

people take themselves way too fucking seriously
saying that some of the people on this site are too young to know the hardships of women in the past is just bullshit, if that were the case black people wouldn't be so up in arms either, racism and sexism are still prominent today and maybe they're advancing, or maybe people are getting so fucking pc that we're just back treading
also in youth often we can find a common ground and views that are different and often more open that that of the past, we can see more sides to the story

heres my question for the day...why does everyone always assume the right to choose is a good thing? how is choice such a great thing?

 

I really am a homemaker, it's the way we like things...my man comes home to a hot meal on the table, the kids are looked after and his laundry is done for him.
He totally appreciates it all, and his coworkers are jealous of all the great food he brings...

I like being home with my kids. We didn't want to put them in daycare.

 

sorry you feel that way. but i stand by what i said. when i was a kid a man could beat the shit out of his wife and kids on a daily basis and there wasn't a damn thing they could do to stop it. in fact it was considered somewhat normal. i'm not saying sexism isn't still prominent today though. i just get the feeling that people who didn't live in those times don't realize how bad it was.

what's so great about choice? does that mean you would have wanted someone to plan out your whole life without you having any say in the matter? how about arranged marriage? would you have wanted your father to choose your husband?

 

How is choice a great thing? Honestly, if you can't understand that, no one can explain it to you.

 

she's prolly just pullin our collective leg. hey, IS...i wanna choose your hubby for you, okay? i always wanted to be a yenta.

 

yay choose me a rich one ok, and then he can buy me pretty things like new boobs and blonder hair
oh yeah :H

 

but...it would be such a shame to mess with perfection!

 

You're kidding right? Myself and many friends I grew up with are from abusive homes. I'm 18 and I know first hand the violence from a man on his family, and I also know calling the police and having them do dick shit. So maybe you should reconsider that standpoint that the younger generation doesn't know.

As for the rest of the thread... Summer you make me laugh.

 

i said i thought maybe some people don't realize how it used to be. no need for you to take that personally if you do understand. and i certainly wasn't dissing younger people or disregarding the pain of those who still suffer. i just hate to hear the hardworking women of the women's rights movement put down because i know how much better things are since the laws against domestic violence were passed throughout the country. i've witnessed the change firsthand. and one of the largest areas of impact has been in the protection of children, including male children. violence against women has historically been embedded in our social institutions. until laws existed to protect women and children from violence, there was no authority to appeal to for help...anywhere.

 

i take this as a compliment and i say thank you teehee


and in all honesty i love making sexist jokes, if i was black i'd totally make racist jokes, but cause i'm white i can't do that
i know totally what shit women have and do and will go through in regards to sexism, but i just don't take life seriously and when i see an oppertunity to make fun of it, i will

rape jokes have gotten a little less funnier now that i've dealt with rape more closely, but i'll still make fun of it, cause honestly people need to laugh
it's kinda like borat making jew jokes when in fact he himself is a jew, it's funny

stop taking shit so fucking seriously!!
you should be thankful this isn't real life and it's just the internet, otherwise i'd have physically hurt you fuckers that have taken this so seriously

this thread is still one of my favourites that i've made
i prolly should have taken this to the next level, but i'll leave it at here for now

 

alright, fine...i'm too serious...i got it...

you wanna fight, bitch?

 

oh you know i'll take you doooooown toooown!
wheres the mud pit?

 

ahhh chick fight chick fight chick fight

 

This is true and a good point made, but again, it's about the whole short term long term sense, the things that happen in between...
Humans can tend to make certain things systematic, other thing flexible, a few things indomitable, and spend their entire lives moving each particle around in each sense, or move the entire ideal around in total...
The only thing that is left is the story that unfolded.
So shitflingging alongside idealism is always a good mix.
To each their own ya know?

 

well some people in this world are taught to take care of themselves, i'm sorry you always had someone there to give you everything...be weak if you want, i dont giva fuck, but dont try and take us all down with you, my suggestion to you would to go down to like that one place in utah or somethin were guys marry like multiple girls, & you can go ahead and wait on him hand and foot...i on the other hand am going to actually live.

 

Do you really give a fuck? Or are you just saying that?

 

somehow i just knew you were the mud wrestlin' type.

 

Heya, I'd just like to say that this is one of the greatest (aka funniest) posts I've read yet. Love it!

Some points are very true tho. I love staying home with my kids (3 yrs & 1 month) I see such an improvement in my toddler when I'm not working. However it is so hard for my hubby to support us all by himself. So as soon as I am fully recovered I have to go back to work pt.

All good tho, I'll only be working days he has off, less time for us together, but better for the kids, cuz they'll always have one of us around.

However I am not very domestic lol. Can't cook too well, hate cleaning. Sometimes I go on Betty Crocker sprees, but less and less often lately, I think adjusting to the 2nd kid is wearing me down a lil. But if my hubby came home from work to a clean house, dinner on the table and me smiling, he'd prolly think I snapped and was getting ready to kill him in his sleep or something. :lol:
