Ok, I'll admit that there is a definate double standard in this country. But I want to rant about the other end of it. Why is it that society doesn't pass judgement on women who physically abuse men? I mean, if a man even grabs a woman's arm, they act like he just bitch slapped her (which IS wrong). But women can usually get away with slapping, pushing, or even kicking men before it's seen as wrong. Anyway, just wanted to rant. Flame On!

cheers

where is Izrael? Is that where Azriel is from? I always like Azreal. I thought he got a bum rap though. If it weren't for Hefty, that cat would have kicked some serious ass.

Your comments are appreciated Git.
I enjoyed the predictable response!
Thanks be to you. God save the Queen!

I love the women who rant about equality, but need a handicap to reach such equality.

"Men and women are equal! We can do any job the men can!"
said by a woman, as she did half of the male police officer push-up requirement

Well said whiskey! I'm all for equality, as long as it is the same equality. Decisions on a job or a raise should never be made based on sex. If a woman wants to be a police officer or a fire fighter, then they should have to pass THE SAME TESTS that the men do. Those tests wheren't placed there to keep women out, they are there so that only the people capible of doing the job are let in.

ooooo!

like this discussions gonna go anywhere....

What will happen is this: Somebody will say something. Somebody will take offense. Somebody will reply to the offended party. Offended party will try to prove a point..maybe use a little flame...history shows calling somebody a name is always the best way to add validity to an argument.
And on...an on...and on.

Nobody will stop to think it might be a good example of general relativity. In the end men will still make more money. Women will still be sluts. And somebody, if not everybody, will be having an argument that will not be solved.

It makes sense when you think about the fact that men are (usually) bigger and stronger than women. There's a lower tolerance for violence coming from men towards women than the other way around, because men are a lot more capable of hurting a woman than women are of hurting a man.

As for the slut / stud issue... that one is very old, and probably has a lot to do with the fact that women can get pregnant and men can't. So women get more restraints than men. If a man is going to help raise a baby, he wants to be sure the baby is HIS.

'course, in this day and age, it's a really stupid double standard, but it is slowly changing.
