Quote:Originally posted by Bytemite: Back then, they had plenty of justification. As I said, I'm grateful because the feminist movement allows me to be what I am (mostly. Rejecting male-female double standards when people have attempted to apply them to me has been a struggle on it's own, but a personal struggle). Maybe some people still see justification now, or feel like if they let any tiny comment go now, there'll be a sudden slide back into the way things were. I don't feel that way. Rather, I feel that modern feminism has been turned into yet another divisive wedge issue and doesn't have any real goal anymore.

Quote:I think it shows how far we HAVEN'T come, that the only thing that some people can say about the whole feminist agenda past and present is that those making the argument aren't beautiful enough to be taken seriously. I mean, isn't that kind of QED.

Quote: Again, if someone considers themselves a feminist... they should go to places where women truly are mistreated. But we rarely hear about that. The underlying truth to it is that its just simply too dangerous, simply too much work. In other words, walking down a street in Kabul, carrying a sign, screaming about feminism, lesbianism, etc will most likely get you shot. Or worse. So not only is American/British/Aussie "feminism" looking for special consideration, and pandering and handouts... its also completely cowardly.

Quote:The most troubling result is that among women, education difference matters very little when stacked up against male counterparts. Evidently, a woman with a four-year degree will earn equal wages as her male counterpart without a four-year degree, over her lifetime. So that very expensive, hard-earned piece of paper hanging behind her desk will earn her just about what a (free!) high school education earns a typical American male over the course of her career.
Quote:A study at Cornell University concluded in 2005 found that women with children were less likely to be hired and if hired would be paid a lower salary than male applicants.[7] Conversely, male applicants with children were likely to be offered higher pay than women with children or people without children. Harvard University professor Hannah Riley Bowles and Carnegie Mellon Professor of Economics Linda Babcock also conducted a study, published in 2007, that found that women are penalized when they try to negotiate starting salaries. Male evaluators tended to rule against women who negotiated but were less likely to penalize men; female evaluators tended to penalize both men and women who negotiated, and preferred applicants who did not ask for more. The study also showed that women who applied for jobs were not as likely to be hired by male managers if they tried to ask for more money, while men who asked for a higher salary were not negatively affected.
Quote:Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. One in six American women, and one in 33 men. 1 out of every 8 college women will be raped In 2004-2005, there were an average annual 200,780 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.
Quote:Try to imagine a legal system in which robberies of retail stores are treated seriously, but robberies of homes are not considered "real" crimes. Try to imagine a legal system predicated on the notion that robbery victims are likely to lie about whether the crime really occurred, or that renders the financial history of a robbery victim a central issue at trial. This is a fictional world for the victims of robbery. For the survivors of rape and family violence, it is all too real -- it is the criminal justice system of the United States. "[S]ome States have eliminated entire classes of persons from the scope of rape statutes, or increased burdens on entire classes of people," like women raped by their husbands or children raped by their parents. "Women assaulted by sexual means are routinely subject to legal hurdles other victims never face," including requirements, in some cases, of psychiatric exams, polygraph tests, and special cautionary instructions to the jury. These barriers of law, however, pale before the barriers of prejudice faced by women who are raped. Prejudice takes many practical forms in a rape prosecution -- policemen refuse to take a report; prosecutors encourage defendants to plead to minor offenses; judges rule against victims in evidentiary matters; and juries, despite instructions to the contrary, continue to lay the blame on the survivor. At every step of the way, the criminal justice system poses significant hurdles for rape survivors. Ours is a system which responds to victims of rape with suspicion rather than compassion. the detours on the road to a rape conviction are far greater than the detours on the road to a conviction for other violent crimes. - More than half of those arrested for rape will not be convicted, making it 30% more likely that a robber is convicted than a rapist; - More than half of those arrested for rape will not be convicted, making it 30% more likely that a robber is convicted than a rapist; - Almost one quarter of convicted rapists never go to prison, almost another quarter receive sentences to local jails housing minor offenders. This means that almost half of all convicted rapists can expect to receive a sentence of less than a year.

I understand your desire to threadjack, muck up and generally pick at anything some here say, but really... maybe you can do it another time? Also, if you are able, please stop following me around from thread to thread... I appreciate the flattery in what you do, but Im really just not interested in bantering with you. Im sure Kane, or someone else would be more willing to play with you... but as for me, you've just kind of gotten boring. No offense really, and Im sure youll have ALL sorts of things to say to this post... but Ill leave it at that. You're boring, you have no intention of expanding your thought and Im a little bit tired of trying with you. So... have fun trying to bother someone else. K?

Quote:Look around your workplace, and calculate the percentage of women. Now look at top management. How many of those corner offices are occupied by women? For the vast majority of U.S. workplaces, the answer is, 20% or less, even though women make up 48% of the total workforce. Women occupy around 20% of leadership positions in business, journalism, politics and law firms. The rate is much lower in Fortune 500 firms and higher in non-profits (where salaries are typically low). And it’s been that way for years. The U.S. ranks 71st in the world for women’s political representation (even Sudan and North Korea surpass us). Women actually lost ground last year in the nation’s largest corporations.

Equal opportunities: I posted a quote specifically about the fact that women with expensive, four-year degrees make no more than me with only a high-school education. That's equal opportunity? More women in power: Citing three names means nothing.Quote:Look around your workplace, and calculate the percentage of women. Now look at top management.

Less sexist attitudes: "those portraying these sexist attitutdes are women". That's so far from the mark it's pathetic. MEN make the sexist remarks; it's almost always MEN who decide to use a sexy woman for advertising, and on and on. Your point is completely false. Victimization of women: "shit happens, and life sucks"??!!--did you read NOTHING of what I posted regarding the UNEQUALITY of women being victimized as opposed to men?? Remember, feminism is about equal rights...shouldn't women have equal rights not to be victimized? Fairness in prosecution of rape: Yet again, you're totally ignoring the facts presented, which show how extremely difficult it is to prosecute rape and how few rapists are prosecuted, much less found guilty. There. I underlined the salient points for you. I find it very strange that you are either deliberately choosing to ignore the facts presented or else didn't even bother to read them. I made my points and backed up every single one with factual, valid information. Why do you choose to ignore that, and respond with either dismissal or factual untruths? Your question was what else do we need to achieve equality, remember? I ANSWERED THAT, clearly and succinctly. I shouldn't have to repeat myself.
