embrace of all things feminine

[Hope springs eternal]

after reading the forums, I came to a conclusion...

The age of male rulership sucks.

Fellow DUers, do you think we will ever see an age of girls ruling the world? Should humanity look towards a more womanly way of looking and doing things?


Feminist DUers: do you embrace your femininty?

3. I was just going to answer "No" but I think you're reaction is more...

appropriate. Maybe we should just listen to what the flower people say.

11. Damn hippies...

Check your PM.

13. We need to return to the golden age of scowling and constipation!

Nixon! Now more than ever! ;-)

2. Unforgivable sexism.

You should be embarrassed.

BTW, I embrace femininity whenever I get a chance ;)

War is not a Choice for Women

"For the most part, men have a choice whether to participate in war or not, and they usually have arms at their disposal with which to defend themselves or strike back.

A woman in her home with her children didn't invite the war in on them. She has no safe place to take them when bombs fall on the house and no man - since he is probably elsewhere fighting - to protect her when armed men drag her into the street to be raped and tortured. Their food stolen by invaders, destroyed by bombs or spoiled from lack of refrigeration, any woman left alive gets to watch her children who are not murdered outright starve as they all languish without medical treatment or proper shelter.

War never takes place in wealthy countries.

Many victims of war had little to begin with, and nothing remains after. Aid is often not able to find its way to them, and many are unable to flee even if they knew an attack was immanent.

The idea that people held so powerless by deliberate design of patriarchal religions and power structures suffer the brunt of the misery for actions they had no power to influence is the greatest shame of the human race.

If men choose to fight, let them do it away from civilized people and suffer the consequences, having chosen to be in that time and place. Any man or government that attacks a civilian population is a coward and a criminal of the worst kind, no matter how pure they believe their cause to be.

I'm not sure we need rulers of any gender.

5. I'd like to see a balance, personally. What do DUers think about

if the Pres nominee is female, she must choose a male Vice P. and vice versa?

18. I've always thought that there should be 50% representation in

all branches of government and that it should be by law. Women are not fairly represented today in this country according to their numbers.

6. Condoleezza Rice/Karen Hughes 2008!

The time is right! :eyes:

[Cleita]

20. Not fair representation.

How about Jeb and Condisleazy? It could happen. In this case we need a hot shot ticket of our own, maybe John Edwards and Barbara Boxer. We know Barbara Boxer can turn Condileeza into a blithering idiot in a debate. It could be fun.

7. Men are the way they are because of Women.

Simple genetics.

That being said I think the current age is more conducive to the stereotypical approach women apply to problems.

And Men will eventually be relagated to menial labor or high level math, science and engineering...

16. I'm there already

relegated to menial science.

Women DO need to rule the world. That's been obvious to me for some time.

Some of the horrible examples we've seen (Thatcher, Clinton) should be anachronisms in a future world ruled by real women that aren't immitating the male ape.

8. Are you a young person?

No insult intended. I'm asking due to the reference to "girls ruling the world."

In my experience the use of girl rather than woman usually means the person speaking is one of two things, and in this case I think it's a youth.

9. I'm a feminist, but I don't give a flying fuck about my femininity.

I love being a mother, and I'm very attracted to men, and once in a while I enjoy dressing up.

But no, I do not embrace my femininity. I embrace my humanity.

It's not the gender that has made so many of history's rulers suck, IMHO, but the personality type. Margaret Thatcher was not exactly warm, fuzzy, and motherly.

[Warpy]

12. No kidding

I read that post and had visions of embracing things like spike heeled shoes and a pound and a half of makeup applied on a Botoxed face and dressing in lace and ruffles.

No thanks.

I embrace my humanity, too. I'll leave the frou frou to the women and drag queens who enjoy it.

And no, I don't want the type of women the rich will allow to rule in office any more than I want the men they've been selecting for us.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. I read the post and thought it came from

a teenage male having those very same visions. :)

[Warpy]

19. I think you're probably right about that

or a very young woman raised in the bosom of a southern church. They still do things like that in a lot of the south.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. Well...

this poster has said in the past that blurring gender lines "messes" people up. So yes, by embracing my feminity, I can only guess that it means I should be embracing the things you just mentioned.

[Greyhound]

10. I think it is a great idea to let the women rule, as long as the women

we choose are not of the "men in a dress" variety.

Beside what do we really need men for anyway? A few thousand would be sufficient to keep the species going and think how pleasant all the other aspects of life would be without all the constant "my dick is bigger than yours" bullshit that dominates every aspect of life now.

[Skidmore]

14. And my inner crone.

I'm the best goldarned feminist crone you'll ever meet. Working on my little feminist princesses and my daughter, the empress goddess. BTW, my 3 yr old granddaughter always replies to the question, "Aren't you pretty?" with "Yes, and I'm smart too." Came up with that one all by her little self. :)

21. For what it's worth, the New Age crowd says we

are entering the Age of Aquarius which should bring women back into running things after about five thousand years of patriarchism in the Age of Pisces.
