It also means u either do not have merit/ calibre or you are just not confident enough<BR/><BR/>on chivalry- if u hold doors for both men and women i have no probs with it..or u loveteh woamn and want to show u care....i.e. if u r doing it for the person then it is completely acceptable. If it is ONLY because she IS a woman then no that is not reason enough<BR/><BR/>And a woman has no busienss to expect equal rights and also expect chivalry at the same time.Artnavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060564468230843716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-66501732679750499542007-04-16T08:27:00.000+05:302007-04-16T08:27:00.000+05:30There, there, Art. Don’t worry your pretty little ...There, there, Art. Don’t worry your pretty little head about such matters. (Sorry, I just couldn’t resist the standard sarcastic punch line.) ;)<BR/><BR/>But seriously...<BR/><BR/>“Feminism stands for equal rights and the right to be respected and treated with dignity.”<BR/> <BR/>Actually, this is a people issue rather than just a feminist issue. These rights should obviously apply to all people now matter how you want to group them (gender, race, religion, caste, hair color, whatever). <BR/><BR/>Despite all the social engineering imposed by governments, men and women are still fundamentally different, both in plumbing and wiring. Neither one is better than the other, just different. And let’s face it; these differences are what make life fun and interesting.<BR/><BR/>Something that seems ridiculous to me is all the language alterations. For example, “actresses” are now “female actors”. Why is the “ress” suffix bad and the “or” suffix good?<BR/><BR/>Regarding chivalry: One website defines the following; “13th century conventions of chivalry directed that men should honor, serve, and do nothing to displease ladies and maidens.” Doesn’t sound too bad to me. But now that most of us are well out of the 13th century (with the exception of a few middle eastern countries), this is probably a moot point.<BR/><BR/>Regarding coquetry: If a woman’s got the goods to use it to her advantage, then more power to her. Frankly, most of us guys are shallow enough to fall for it. The hard core feminists are probably just jealous. Sorry for the stereotype, but when the feminist movement was at its peak in the USA during the 70’s, I don’t recall many “hot babes” amongst the group.<BR/><BR/>And just for the record, Meri Biwi and I share the finances and housework equally. However, I do get all of the yard work and vehicle maintenance. <BR/><BR/>OK Art, fire at will!Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013518337156050036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-65760535428370972152007-04-15T07:30:00.000+05:302007-04-15T07:30:00.000+05:30hey u guys- i dont scream u knowi asked for your v...hey u guys- i dont scream u know<BR/><BR/>i asked for your view- remember<BR/><BR/>and anyway i am this angel who is willing to give a hearing....seriously :-))))Artnavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060564468230843716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-7615344104231078482007-04-15T04:33:00.000+05:302007-04-15T04:33:00.000+05:30hey Alan,I don't think Art will scream at me, beca...hey Alan,<BR/><BR/>I don't think Art will scream at me, because you know: I am just a kid.<BR/><BR/>I can get away with almost anything ;)The Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859770136222683752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33583900.post-91657044359402689322007-04-14T06:53:00.000+05:302007-04-14T06:53:00.000+05:30Hey Kid - it may not be rude, but probably not the...Hey Kid - it may not be rude, but probably not the wisest thing to do.
