In fact, equality for ALL PEOPLE, regardless of sex, color, religion, sexual orientation -- whatever. What I'm NOT ok with is the ongoing assault ('degenderfication' as I like to call it) that's been slowly, but surely changing the way people speak of, and think of, the opposite sex in today's society. An assualt that's mainly being spear-headed by many womens-rights advocates/"feminists" who seem to find this agenda worth their efforts, when they should be focusing it on the more important issues like the "glass ceiling", a woman's "right to choose", and/or pushing their way into those private clubs and/or schools that for hundreds of years have held a "Men Only" policy.<BR/><BR/>Men are different from Women...it's a FACT -- and personally I think that's a good thing. Not something to which anyone should take offense, but something that should be celebrated, enjoyed....and respected. <BR/><BR/>When "Missy" made this comment: "When at an event when the emcee says "you throw like a girl" to belittle a man, I shout back, "whats wrong with throwing like a girl?!"" <BR/><BR/>My answer: NOTHING. But at least you are acknowledging there IS a difference, so maybe there's hope for you yet, and those like you....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-266673554776813402007-09-02T15:45:00.000-07:002007-09-02T15:45:00.000-07:00Hi again Sara!You are a winner in the competition!...Hi again Sara!<BR/><BR/>You are a winner in the <A HREF="http://peggys-musings.blogspot.com/2007/09/and-winners-are.html" REL="nofollow">competition</A>!<BR/><BR/>Come by for details on claiming your prize.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for entering!Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282315751565186831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-13050651730254968922007-08-07T04:49:00.000-07:002007-08-07T04:49:00.000-07:00ciao, nice liberal blog, visit mine :)ciao, nice liberal blog, visit mine :)Michele Bosellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099679957267594811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-61202604292971368092007-08-06T16:33:00.000-07:002007-08-06T16:33:00.000-07:00Love, love, LOVE this!!! I am a first time reader-...Love, love, LOVE this!!! I am a first time reader- I followed a link from CUSS. <BR/><BR/>I too am a feminist. I also changed my last name, and wear high heels every day, and pinch at my belly fat. Its okay that I sometimes use the power of clevage to avoid cover charges and get free drinks. <BR/><BR/>Because at other times, I stand in front of my state capitol building holding a sign, taking advantage of my constitutional right to assemble, asking my legislators to vote pro-choice. I write letters to the FDA asking them to allow the morning after pill to be sold over the counter. When at an event when the emcee says "you throw like a girl" to belittle a man, I shout back, "whats wrong with throwing like a girl?!"<BR/><BR/>Our grandmothers and mothers revolutionized the world we live in. They did it so that I have the CHOICE on whether or not I want to be a supermodel, or a stripper, or the CEO of my own company, or the next President of the USA. I get to choose who I want to be, and that is what feminism is really all about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33489167.post-25701481724665598392007-08-02T03:05:00.000-07:002007-08-02T03:05:00.000-07:00Wonderful!!
