looking for inspiration. so just pretend I asked a question that you have a lot of insight about then provide a detailed answer. Sorry but I really am just int he mood to read long interesting opinions...odd I know.
thank you Old's cool!
 
Lol last week, this fat 11 year old boy told me and I quote, "Men are the dominant species." I honestly don't know what kept me from smacking him so hard in the face, probably the fact that I'm much older. So many responses came into my head. First off, I knew the boy got it from his father; his dad always "jokes" around like that, bashing women, and his wife always yells at him lol. I really don't think it's wise to say sexist things near your kids because it will give them that mindset. Secondly, I'm not a feminist until provoked. Basically I respect that in most aspects men are the more dominant, however, I don't see the need for them to treat women like trash and boast about it. Lol, I've been looking for someone to rant to about this, Thanks.
 
It makes me soooo mad when boys treat girls like trash. They say they love them one moment, and then the next throw them away. What boys dont realize is that girls need to be treated like a person, not an object. boys dont own girls, and girls certianly dont own the boy. That is the problem with relationships these days. Its all about the sex, never about the relationship itself. Thats also why there is so much divorce. People think they love each other, but didnt take the time to discover if they really did or not. People need to take time in relationships, treat each other like people, and not try to own the other.
 
Answer harping on the rampant patriarchy and how little people pay attention to it, how they poo-poo the obvious, and how women are not respected even by other women. Oh, and no man is entitled to sex--not one.
 
On this day in 1918, President Woodrow Wilson urged a joint session of Congress to guarantee women the right to vote. Although the House had earlier approved what ultimately became the 19th constitutional amendment, the Senate had yet to vote on the measure.

On Jan. 12, 1915, the House had taken up a suffrage bill, but it failed to reach even the needed two-thirds majority, losing 174-204.

With women playing an expanded role in the mobilization effort during World War I, the bill came before the House again on Jan. 10, 1918. On the prior evening, Wilson had appealed to the House to pass the bill. This time, it went through with one vote more than the necessary two-thirds.

When Wilson appealed again on this day in 1918, the Senate came up two votes short. On Feb. 10, 1919, the Senate leadership tried again, this time failing by just one vote.

In his first term, Wilson had taken a lukewarm attitude toward women’s suffrage. In 1917, suffragists picketed the White House and berated Wilson for paying mere lip service to their cause.

Several arrested suffragists went on a hunger strike. When Wilson learned that they were being force-fed in jail, he finally decided to champion their cause wholeheartedly.

In his Sept. 30 speech, Wilson said, "We have made partners of the women in this war. ... Shall we admit them only to a partnership of suffering and sacrifice and toil and not to a partnership of privilege and right?"

The 1918 midterm elections altered the balance of power on the issue. On May 21, 1919, the House endorsed women's suffrage 304-89. On June 4, the Senate finally followed suit, approving the amendment 56-25 and sending it to the states for ratification.
