I think there might be a few left in the odd corner of Wisconsin...

Feminist women tend to cut their hair really short...or shave it off...and dress like baggy asexual man-things...

"No one wants to be a feminist anymore."

The "hos" are better scenery anyway. The above is good news to me.

not the tattoos. I hate tattoos on women. Sure they have the right to have them, and I have the right not to like them.

I like the city where I live, but one thing I hate is all the smokers. And it seems like nearly every woman smokes in my city. I'm not real big on smokers.

It's a destination for addictive people. I notice at the indian casino the people at the bandits are mostly smoking. I'm glad that I'll be working outside...I worry about Dolores inside though. She's in the food area where there's alot less smoke, but still...

Thus reinforcing the belief by women that men think with their penis.

Advertising has gone from one extreme to the other. Where once women were assumed to be vacuous housewives, now they are regarded as sex starved whores. Cosmetic advertisements while not using this stereotype are just as offensive as they still assume women are stupid.

Then there are those stick-insects masquerading as women while modelling clothes.

Women can think for themselves, yet we see so many acting and looking like "hos", as Diss said. I gotta believe that's what they want.

Perhaps because we are constantly assaulted with images where sluts are more attractive.

Here's a challenge, next time you're walking down the street, instead of looking at the woman in sexy clothing, try looking at the woman who is conservatively dressed.

i look at all women. yeah I know, it's not very feminist to get visual pleasure from seeing women. But I can't deny what I am. Sure I may think nasty thoughts about women, but I always treat them with respect.

sure the slutty clothes turn your head faster, but I do find myself looking at women I actually think I have a shot with more. And they tend to be dressed more conservatively.

So they pay the price for modeling their own behaviour on what they think an abstract monolith (which in fact does not exist as such ) expects of them .

It isn't true. Same job, same time in grade, same pay in a vast majority of cases. The reason that women make less money on average than men is because they often don't do the same work (blue collar men die many times more often on the job for instance, and are compensated for their increased chance at accidental injury or death to some extent compared to blue collar women) or they don't do it as much (maternity leave, working part time to care for children etc.).

This sometimes leads to family women being "tracked" and missing out on promotions which IMO is discrimination when done pre-emptively and sometimes reasonable in instances where the part time work or leave is concurrent with the decision on the promotion. I've been working (officially) for 27 years now, and more than half of my supervisors have been women.

It's perfectly reasonable.

I will not work on Shabbat for religious reasons.

It would be unfair if I expected employers to hire me, regardless of the fact. Even though I don't see it as a choice, ultimatley it is. My choice gets in the way of the job.

If you want a career where the requirments are consistant work and non kid friendly hours, don't have kids.

women do get less pay in white collar jobs where you negotiate you pay in the interview process. theories are they just aren't willing to be forceful and demand better pay. You really have to be aggressive in getting the pay you deserve.

This is a product of the whole interview process, and it's sad that women get paid much less than men.
