I doubt women want a win win situtation or men want winner takes
it all, this is simply human nature and each gender wanting to
shirk their own responsibilities.
Well if you want to look an an idea of progressive ideas of men
and women you need to take a look at two TV series, namely Hercules
and Xena.
In Hercules you note that people rarely die in the show by
Hercules' hand, he is usually your typical nice guy who does not
resort to violence except as a last resort.
In Xena however, just about everyone who crosses her path gets
killed, though towards the end of the show's run the character
becomes more balanced.
But it speaks a lot on ideas of female empowerment and the like,
not that it's wrong or what but you can see the mentality that
lurks behind it. But I think there's something defective about the
idea of being equal as men means having to emulate everything that
is wrong with men.
I do not think that in order for women to prove equality they
have to be as violent, forceful, or hardheaded as men, this is not
all that men are about. It is a bit like a toy poodle needing to
prove that it is every bit as big as a quiet great dane by barking
as much as possible and being extremely aggressive but at the end
of the day one can see.
Is your equality born from the quiet confidence of known that
you are already equal or from an inferiority complex? That's a very
important distinction to make.
Namely I am not much for the idea of guys complaining about NS,
because it is our duty as men to defend that which matters to us.
In the same way, women who complain about the troubles and pains of
childbirth aren't probably as real as the women they ought to
be.
Equality comes from mutal respect and cooperation, not the
dumbing down of both sides to the same lowest level. There will be
no end to it if you put it that way, in the same way a man can
abuse his maleness on women (ie. physical violence and the like),
women can abuse their own femaleness on men as well (ie.
emotional violence and other vindictive methods). At the end
of the day who is right?
No one.
Before you say so much ask yourself, have you been a proper
gentleman or lady recently?
But frankly I am a bit saddened to see the role of the homemaker
or mother being treated as if it is something inferior to having a
life in the office and making money by both sides, it seems to me
more to of an effect of our modern soceity then anything else. I do
not think real men ought to regard the housewife as a personal
slave leeching money nor should women think the role degrading.
Hercules and Xena are fictional people.
In the show, do you know why Hercules don't want to kill ?
Because he killed his own son with his own hands.
And Xena was a Villian from the beginning who later turned
warrior for good. And she fights because she lost her family
including her own child to evil doers.
Xena need not be a fighting machine if her enemies were
not blood thirsty SOBs now would she ?
Anyway, her story can be googled.
You telling me men don't decapitate whoever stands in their path
?
Look at what happened to Benazir Bhutto, assasinated.
Look at what happend to Ang San Suu Kii ? House arrest for 12
years even though she won the election fair and square.
Honor killings on women who refused to conform in countries
dominated by men.
Who are the perpetrators ? MEN and their insecurities !!
If men are so afraid to share their earned assets, why get
married ?
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE in Modern Context ??
If it is agreed the couples want no kids, and has no interest in
sharing the earned income together. WHY MARRY ? Why sign on the
dotted line ???
Isn't marriage based on working towards the same goal in life
TOGETHER ?
So during a divorce, why must all those time spent together
amounts to NOTHING ?
If this is how men really thinks. Then I see no reason for a
woman to marry a man.
She can jolly well earn her own, live her own and get herself a
sperm from the sperm bank.
