I was just coming back to this post, since I am the one who started it. Of course there are intrinsic differences between men and woman. Does anyone out there have brothers or sisters. I have a couple of each- how many times have you seen your brothers cry or become hurt by something or backdown, now ask the same questin about your sister(s). In my eperience, and in most experiences that I have seen or heard of women are usually more emotional, get hurt easier, not as driven for physical activity, often not as driven in general and are more sensitive and caring. Besides for the physical differences in strenrth that a man posseses, most men are by in large more driven to compete and rule and are more forcefull in expressing thier emotions and getting what they want or need. I mean how is this denyable and why in the hell did men rule society for all of civilization until the mid 21st century? Of course men have different goals and values or there would have always been more of an equal share of power and ability between the sexes over time. Isn't it just obvious to people that woman by in large just are not as harsh, forcefull and confrontational. Isn't it easy to recognize when a woman is trying to act bold or intimidating like they try to in the media- it is hilarious- watch fox news and look for Julie Vanderez, or Megan Kendall, or Kimberly Gilfoule (something like that). It is just so out of character and out of nature when these woman try to act hard, it really makes Fox News look ridiculous sometimes. When I really think about it, and my point of writing this was just to get reaction and see what other people thought about how the genders are perceived. I personally beleive it is just ignorant to think there are absolutely no intrinsic differences between males and females and they are exactly the same on the inside- it is just ridiculous. Feminists, the media, equal rights groups and other people hard pressed for equality amongst the genders have pressed this issue so much that it has made it rewarding, or more accepted for a woman to act like a man and acheive a career. Most of the women I know really just want to be happy, and almost all of them long for a signifigant other. To suggest that really what females want is to be independent and career oreinted just is not true-find a woman in her mid thirties or over and see how hard pressed she is to find a relationship on the average, then rethink what women really want. Our society has become so hard pressed and stressed about compitition and who is better and who is worse that we even managed to turn both genders in competing agaoinst eachother. The confuses notion that there is not difference between both genders has already led to a more people being single, a stressed relationship between the genders, more divorce, and more single parent households. Who knows what it will do in time

You guys are right, there is no such thing as feminism and woman never revolted because they did not want to stay at home any more. It never happened, all the suddent woman just appeared in the workforce. There are no woman organizations that say woman are still discriminated against and complain about how they do not have great oppurtunities, not a single one??? And there no bitter woman??? There I posted something that you guys beleive is true, maybe it will make you feel better. And Drea, I have read some of your other posts, one specifically when you said you had no reason to live, unless you could keep and raise your child. Above all else that is why women, and you are just plain have no substance and no rationale. If you can't find any reason to live accept the face that you brought a child into the world, and you are willing to kill yourself if it is taken away, you really do have problems, not me. Thats what hurts our country, woman bringing children into the world who are not ready to have them, and who only want them to make them feel more loved, or more important. Creating human life to fullfill your own needs is just sad and it is not responsable. Find some hobbies, or ways to increase your self asteem a little instead or relying on another life form for your sole existance. What else can I say??

Yes, of course all religions have a monopoly on, "truth," because every religion prides itself on obtaining some kind of truth that is universal in which mortals must look up too, thus making it a religion- which has to be supreme. All religions deal with some kind of obediance or aspect of repentance to have the name religion, which usually implies something greater than mortal experience, or something (someone) that has supreme ability or enlightment. That being said, all religions hold some individual or presence in high asteem that everyone must accept to be apart of the religion. Of course, christianity is no different, you must accept that Jesus is supreme and that he is the way to cleanse your heart from sin. Once you accept this and try to live the life he lived or follow the advice he gave you are accepted. That being said, Ghandi, or whoever does not accept it is not considered a Christian. It is not different from any other major religion. I mean if you don't beleive in the profit muhamad, can you be muslim??? It is about beleiving and accepting, and whoever beleives is promised acceptance no matter what kind of background they are from or what they have done in the past.

Thats true, the old testament does have its bulk of violence and revenge, often involving prophets or nations of people that disobeyed the lord. (as written in the bible) This often took place when people would disobey the Lord, opress the lords prophets, or falsely prophesy in the name of the lord, or opress the chosen people of the lord. However, when Jesus came he stood for the forgiveness of all sins, no matter what ethnicicy, background, or demographic people were from, and now matter how bad thier deeds, and christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus, and the fact that are men are guildty of sin, and are forgiven

To say that chirstiany and Islam are equally intolerant is just utterly irresponsable. In the New Testament, which Jesus came, hate was not preached not commanded like it is in the Quran. Men were taught to love eachother and respect each other-- take the Quran for instance Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loves not transgressors. And kill them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, kill them. Such is the reward of those who reject faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. The prohibited month, for the prohibited month, and so for all things prohibited, there is the law of equality. If then any one transgresses the prohibition against you, transgress ye likewise against him. But fear Allah, and know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves Now, give me lines anything like this in the New Testament of the Bible, in which Jesus come to forgive mankind. ??????? There are not lines that promote this king of violence. Maybe, just maybe, that is why Islamic nations are still murdering, oppressing and oposing themselves and other nations, often on the ground that they are, "not beleivers." Saying christianing is not as tolerant as Islam, as just not factual.

Also, there are too many woman bringing children in the world because they, "feel unloved," or, "have no reason to live," which is utterly ridiculous. You do not create life to fullfill your self regarding your feelings or insecurities, you bring life into the world when you are ready and willing to love and provide for it. Bringing life into the world for the sake of fulling some aspect of yourself is selfish beyond measure

This is another example of one of the insane things that goes on in our society. Take the baby away from a woman before she raises him/her for four years in prison. Obviously, it is highly likely to have a negative effect on the kids. I am tired of woman using all means neccessary to have thier way regarding life they bring into the world. They need to become more responsable and use methods of birthcontrol that allow them to have babies when they are ready, instead of aborting them and bringing them into bad circumstances. Thier are too many sufficient ways of abortion to have unwanted children, and woman are way too irresponsable regarding the decicions they are allowed to make regarding thier children. It just blows my mind the way the world is

Yes, that would make me feel alot better about myself if I hit a woman or did some thing outragous and stupid like that, or not, I am not violent, nor would I ever be toward a woman. I stick to everything that I say on these threads, but I hold on to human dignity in the real world in physical up front contact. Yet, the fact is, half of the people on these pages don't engage my threads and just go off subject (as you just did) and try to be sarcastic or insulting, and cannot face themselves with the real issue of the decline in relationships, childrearing, stable married families, increased cohabition and the fact that woman always do think something is going against them. In reality, it is sad that a woman does not think raising a child is real work in our world and has to try and make themselves feel better by trying to climb the economic ladder with no regard to the consequences of thier actions, or what gets left behind. 25 years from now when the divorce rate is 65 percent, woman are opressed even more in society because the economy is tougher and is not going to slow down because of thier child rearing needs, there are fewer marriges in general because the overwealming prevelence of cohabition and non commited relationships, fewer kids are brought into the world and even fewer are cared for proberly and our society is falling apart due these reasons you will look back at this thread and think deeply about it and realize the true reasons behind it. I don't hate woman, I hate the fact that they don't know who they are and have been brainwashed by feminists and others into thinking they have to do every thing like a mna do be considered an equal. Think about it now days-define woman? = 5 different answers for every person, because nobody knows anymore.

Genius web-page Army Guy, just an absolute masterpiece! You site a couple of examples of a few woman who road into battle leading troops or participated in physical contact over hundreds of years- Now I am totally assured that woman Armies (as I said in my post implies GROUPS of woman) fighted consistently (REGULARLY, not one woman every two hundred years) throughout time. Citing a couple examples of ancient scripts that imply woman were used in battle and giving evidence that a couple woman participated in war over centuries is not a really eye opening or mind boggling, and doesen't mean much. Also, you diddn't even respond to half my post- and here are a couple of FACTS 1. Woman did rebel against society for jobs in the middle of the twentieth centruy because they were not happy at home 2. Many womans groups and organizations do still press the issue and cry "discrimination" to the fact that woman aren't represented in large numbers in the most prestigous careers and don't get paid equal money for their work 3. Many woman are bitter against men because of thier failed relationships, otherwise you would not have a prestigous New York times colonist, Mareen Dowd writing best selling novels like, "Are Men Nececary." Who do you think the book sold millions of copies too? Men? All these facts lead to my conclusion with is true, woman always want something they don't have and tend to often blame men for thier short commings. (as I listed in examples above) It is not mens fault that woman are not at the highest levels in careers, its called work ethic. It is not mens fault that they get paid 20 percent less on average, its called dedication and working more than forty hours a week. And when woman hit thier thirties and are still single, it is not men's fault Any way, I am somewhat against woman in general, becasue I just don't think they are as good hearted as men. I cannot tell you how many times I have had a class in or been in public in which woman are openly talking behind peoples backs, trying to draw attention to themselves, or just acting like idiots. Woman don't act respectfully often, and they should be treated that way. I want an honest answer from people on this page- Who is more likely to be fake and try and minipulate a situation or make someone look bad behind thier back? A man or a woman? Enough said....

I agree with most of the major ideas in these posts, and think that Slavic 44 is really accurate in what he is saying, it just is a little general. Consumption does motivate our society extremely too much, especiallly amongst adults, and that is leading to adults putting their personal needs and desires before thier kids. This is primarily casued by the need to consume and compete in how one looks, or how someone perceives them to look regarding money, prestige, physical attractiveness, ect. This post was talking about Canada origianally, but the problem is worse in U.S probabably. The fact is, people now days are driven to compete- schools are more competitive, finding a partner is more competive, for gods sake, just getting respected is competitive. Obviously this drives and stresses our every day lives, and sometimes over-welms who we really are. I am not tying to sound like a philosopher, but I beleive at the core of most human hearts is the need to love and be loved, and to respect others and be respected. These basic human needs have become so clouded in personal judgements, body image and other shallow and unfulfillling ideas that it makes it hard to be satisfied with ones self. We should place our value of eachother, and of ourselves on how we treat our family, freinds, and peers. To put it simply, we as people should respect eachother's hearts more than the house, car, clothing or other body image that we desire.

I don't understand why some people can't comprehend the fact that some sterotypes are very accurate specifically, Army Guy Woman are biologically 60% as as strong as men ( sorry, thats a fact, if you want to argue find me any reliable evidence that proves otherwise) Men and woman compete seperately in most sports, if they were equal they would compete together- Can woman jump like men? (what woman have you seen in basketball do anything besided a week one handed dunk-360, windmill, take off from the free- throw line, under the legs, Which ones?) Males hold record times in any track and field event- (if anyone has evidence prove me wrong) Is it males or females who have been fighting wars up until recently (even though some positions are still restricted from them). Technology has made it more possible for females to participate, but give me reliable examples of armies of woman who were powerful forces in history when wars were fought in more of a hand-to-hand manner. For gods sake, don't say Joan of Ark, the only example that is really legit. Fact is, on average males are physically superior, therefore should be allowed to take part more in activities which are heavily physically burdensome, thats just fact If females were physically, or mentally superior they would have been ruleing society for the last couple centuries instead of males- Why can't people recognize this Last fact, woman will always complain about something. Weather they are not getting paid for equal work, not getting opportunites in the work-place, bitter single and desperate, not getting represented proportionately in the most prestigous jobs, nor getting enough attention, not getting paid enough for maternity leave, claiming guys don't pull thier wait around the house ect, ect, ect, ect, ect. When woman did not have jobs, they became desperate for jobs, when woman don't have equal pay or are not represented at the highest levels of the workforce they cry "Discrimination," when woman do get jobs they cry, "men are intimidated by woman with high earning potential," because they are bitter and single,- CONCLUSION- woman will always complain about not having something because they cannot acheive what a man can acheive and be satisfied with who they are- they will never get there way because their way changes whenever they cannot acheive something and then blame someone or something for it- That sounds like womans history in the last sixty years now doesen't it????

Ha, Ha, Army guy?? I can tell from your diction, word choice, and language that you are female. No male names himself Army Guy, the guy part obviously being put in there because you want people to beleive you are a man, evern though your posts make it aparent you are not. Have some dignity, at least for yourself enough to admit what sex you are. Enough said... just to prove it, I bet you cannot put a post up displaying your knowledge on sports in depth- for instance the mens NCAA torunament- actually explain to me how the game of football is played specifically- I already know you are a female, so I know most females don't know much about football, lets see if you can do it.

The time is hear now, when woman are judged and prepared to do the best they can at what ever they choose to do, however it is obvious now that they have to compete with men. I just boggles my mind how people don't recognize this. Ex.. If you are going to go into battle, or do any other physical activities with men, you whould have to be at least eual to them in strenth, athletic ability, and other aspects of perfermance, if you are not up to par than you are going to be left behind. Woman are the ones that want to be equal, so that means you are going to be forced to perform on the same level, that should be obvious to people. When graduate schools, law schools, or medical schools accept people, do they only campare female applicants to female applicants, or male applicants to male applicants? Of course not, every thing is compared equally, thats how it is and should be with any activity men and woman choose to participate in - job, army, sports, school... anything. Thats why it gets on my nerves so bad when woman wine and complain about wanting something to be easier (military training, jobs, maternity leave benifits, choices in some legal situations like abortion or anything else), if you wanted to be treated equally then you have to be equal on every level to get oppurtunities, why is that so hard for people to understand. Thats why, i really think woman should just stay at home (expecially when it comes to anything physical) they are not as strong and athletic as a guys, they get thier feelings hurt easier, they cry when they get mad, they gossip and talk behind people's backs like its nothing- and thats why they did stay up home up until the middle of the twentieth century. One day they people may start attempting to figure this out.

Actually, I do agree, if a woman can do more or is more capable (physically, and mentally) then by all means she should be able to be a soldier or engage in combat, even before men. But I know for a fact is is rare, if not exteinct for a woman to be just more capable than a man physically. It is medically proven, that on average a woman only has 60 percent as strong as a man. Thats why men and woman compete on seperate terms in pretty much all physical activities (as I already mentioned) ex weight lifting, footbal, basketball, baseball ect. I mean I work out in a co ed enviornment, so forgive my for my policial incorectness, but most woman are far weaker than men.

Our society, and gener relationships, have gone or are going to hell. It is already proven in the divorce rates and the deline in marrying and increase in marrying age.
