It's great we can both take all the best things away from the 80s.<br /><br />And Natalie, Purple Stain is a song by Red Hot Chili Peppers. But that was very much an exaggeration. :)<br />But hey, if you keep treating people that nicely, the trend just might shift!Dreadnoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932225946179354781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185621449326977341.post-36916555859878741902010-10-31T17:32:19.185+11:002010-10-31T17:32:19.185+11:00Why?

Because feminism has taken several leaps backwards, with young women happy to reap the its benefits but not to practice its responsibilities, and pretty much ignore the whole deal until they feel their tootsies have been trod upon and then react in righteous indignation.<br /><br />Because I believe men and women are equal in both good and bad I am against radical feminism (see a very provocative article here by a woman I very much admire: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1215464/Why-I-loathe-feminism---believe-ultimately-destroy-family.html), but I also believe the baton has to be taken up again, as does the baton of man's rights. Why do men, for example, accept being portrayed as fools and buffoons in television ads? This portrayal is because marketers know that women are responsible for most purchases in the home, but still, what the media portrays actually informs social attitudes at large, and men should rise up against this. It doesn't matter that most people in positions of power and income worldwide are male; it is still wrong.<br /><br />A lot of work still to happen, with parties on both sides arguing, "Why should I do X when he/she does Y?" and neither side taking into account basic human rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185621449326977341.post-63953082446305992082010-10-30T23:01:51.457+11:002010-10-30T23:01:51.457+11:00"...and party on, dudes!""...and party on, dudes!"Sarah St-McGoodbodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923694164518090916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185621449326977341.post-61261527775184665852010-10-29T21:15:27.465+11:002010-10-29T21:15:27.465+11:00I was masturbating to Purple Stain ... ? What'...I was masturbating to Purple Stain ... ? What's Purple Stain?<br /><br />I agree with you though - as people we should be opening doors regardless of gender and treating everyone equally. I hate opening doors fors guys, only to have them stand there gaping at me as if I'd flashed them instead : PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928599211519387036noreply@blogger.com
