Women. You have men by the balls.(...)

Women are for whipping, not for ruling the world.

Fixt. I'm sure that's what you actually meant.

Don't get me excited now. I haven't been properly beaten in a while...

[Something completely different]

Women are to whip, men are here to be whipped.

Well, you take god out of schools, women - out of the kitchen, and this is what happens. People start getting uppity and insisting we're all equal, and you consider yourself lucky if you get your hair pulled once in a while... Ah, for the good ol' times of ducking stools and scold's bridles, nice clean entertainment for the whole village... Excuse me, I seem to be getting misty-eyed.

lol.

There are incredibly driven, intelligent, and amazing women out there who SHOULD be in power. And there are incredibly fucked up, psychotic and disgusting women out there too.

No one sex holds all the compassion or forgiveness or mercy in the world. Men are just as capable of it as women. And women are just as capable of holding power with aplomb. This bullshit about us needing to take it from men in order to fix the ills of the world is just ridiculous. Why can't you men simply act like responsible compassionate human beings instead? Why should we have to follow a stereotype of "Grabbing you by the balls"? Isn't that insulting? Doesn't that make you grunting cavemen? Have you so little confidence in your own gender that you think a vagina to be more powerful and less susceptible to ills than a penis?

If you think women are the ones who have the empathy and sympathy necessary to act right and save the world, it's only because you have raised your boys to think that emotions are weaknesses and that to be 'gentle' and solve through reason and diplomacy is effeminate and also weak. You have backed your own selves into a corner in an effort to out-man each other.

I agree with something Moros showed me a long time ago. Be more like Atticus Finch. Care less about your manhood in the face of the public and more about doing the right thing. Then you wouldn't have to come squalling for a bunch of vaginas to smooth over all the bruises and put bandaids on your booboos and wail over your graves.

At first I didn't think this boy was serious.

Hey buddy I have a purse that looks similar to yours, did you get your's at Macy's?
Did you wait for the sale or just throw budget to the wind and buy it full price?

Weeper is right, tears are rolling down my eyes from laughter.

Fuck all these arbitrary gender roles. Stop worrying about who you are or whether you're living up to someone else's idea of what is socially expected or acceptable and just do what comes comfortably to you.

There are certainly asshole women who are in power. I've heard some nasty things about some of the grand daughters of Sam Walton, for example. Granted, there are still some patriarchial power structures in place which have resulted in more men being in positions of power. That's changing, though, and there are more and more women in positions of power. As it is, women are getting 60% of college degrees nowadays. What's more, if you take 100 women in positions of power and 100 men in equal positions of power, I think you'd find just as many assholes in both groups. Being a jerk is not a gendered trait.

[Darth]

Yeah, 60% of the degrees, but don't celebrate too soon. A lot of degrees are just very expensive toilet paper, more of a burden than a boon, especially when you hear about these people paying 100k for a degree.

Now, what is the gender breakdown of men/women getting valuable degrees, and men/women getting degrees in basket weaving? How many women are in STEM degrees (as well as medicine I suppose...)? I'm under the impression there is a rather large shortage of women there (though it's improving slowly), but that's from memory.
