Well, it’s a sure thing that feminism isn’t dead, if rhetoric under its banner is what you mean. But feminism is like many other idealogies. To claim that only good or only bad has come of it is to fall to the cliches of a particular institution. Sure, many kids ARE in fact whacked out because of things called ‘feminist,’ but it’s not nearly the worst thing that kids have been whacked out upon these days. Good things have arisen from what we call ‘feminism’ today, obviously the woman’s right to vote, for instance, but the name that we have assigned to sensible civil rights rhetoric is inappropriate. Demanding equality should be classified as rhetoric for civil rights, not feminism. The term ‘feminist’ is linguistically the same as any masculine equivalent, such as ‘male patriot’ or what not. And, as with practically any movement, there are ridiculous arguments to be found within feminism. For example, it is completely hypocritical to one day rant and rave about how unjust it is for men to be paid more because of their ‘social roles’ (and I’m not saying that it is just), and then the next day claim that women should be given more sick days because of THEIR ‘social roles.’ One cannot have her cake and eatit too. So yeah, if you’re going to have a child, put the child ahead of your income and your status as part of the work force. People need to raise their children. One parent should stay home. And yes, some if not many feminists are little girls who never grew up, marching on the streets with their signs and having a good time,but not all of them are, and we cannot blame moral decline on any one thing, whether we agree with it or not. As with any group, you can find sensible people who call themselves ‘feminist.’ To quote a soprano I was working with once, ‘No, don’t put me in a box. Don’t equate me with the PSYCHOfems.’ The problem we encounter is that people themselves are ridiculous, not just those who are in a camp that we disagree with.

no, man…it doesn’t mean she’s dumb per se…just that she doesn’t have a large attention span, or you’re taking her to the wrong movie. 😛

Sure. People become friends. It happens when people work together, or what have you. But when two single people of the opposite sex go into what they refer to as a ‘best friend’ relationship and deny any attraction, however, from experience and what is obvious, I typically think they’re kidding themselves. It’s either self destructive or it leads to something else (the latter of which isn’t a bad thing). Should men and women be friends? Sure. I would encourage it. It seems unavoidable to me. But if you’re married, I say back off when someone wants to use the term ‘best friends’ with you. That position belongs with your spouse, anyway.

Um…try going out with friends instead of strangers with no knowledge of personality? 😛 But yeah, everybody should hit weights…it makes you strong and stuff.
