[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funniest part about it is all of these girls who think they are railing against the “patriarchy” are trying to join it by identifying his male! They don’t even realize the absurdity of their own statements.[/quote]

I think there is an element of "if you can't beat them, join them." By middle school, girls are smart enough to see the vast amount of misogyny in the world, and how their male classmates have a better life ahead of them just by virtue of being born with penises.  I don't think they are trying to rail against the patriarchy. They are just looking at their options and in many cases being rational. [/quote]

This is quite possibly the most bizarre statement I have read on DCUM. If you are a woman, I certainly hope that you don’t tell your own daughters that men (just because they have a penis) are going to have a better life than your daughters. This is outrageous that you would tell your daughters this or even think it yourself.

I am a woman in a mostly male-dominated field. Speaking to my colleagues, I am aware that my salary is on par or higher than the majority of men at my seniority level. I don’t look at myself as a victim. I look at myself as a strong and capable person/woman. I don’t make excuses for myself or see someone else as more valuable or capable because they have a penis.[/quote]

You are extremely out of touch with the feelings of middle school girls. Shoot the messenger if you like, but there is a reason why in middle school this is something driven almost entirely by girls. [/quote]

Unlike you, I don’t live my life or decisions based on the feelings of 12 - 14 year olds. I base my life and my decisions on facts. Your statement about men having a better life because they have a penis is indeed itself misogynistic.[/quote]

+1 these people are crazy. [/quote]
