Calvin and Hobbes in their club GROSS: Get Rid Of Slimy girlS

So, hello, I’m Dragonclaws. I have a good-sized interest in gender equality and examining sexism and such. I’ve stumbled across these gender-related club about Being a Woman and Being a Man. Going from one to the other, specifically from Being a Woman to Being a Man, the stark difference is quite stunning. I find the differences between the two club to distinctly represent the cultural divide between the two gender groups, and as an extension to represent the forms of sexism developed da our society.

First of all, let’s examine the Avatar used da each club. The Avatar used to represent...

I dreamed I was a princess

posted by ddangerouxwoman

Yesterday I slept and I dreamed I was a princess
I dreamed of the power of an educated woman
in the times of knights
And I don't mean what we used to do: embroidery, Canto o drawing
no, but to that ancient art that barely lingers between us now,
to make man believe that he is the one who take the reins
We didn't have the freedom to be indomitable, but we have been secret.
We domed the king with kisses and planned alliances and revenge in our beds.
In my dream, my mother, the Queen, taught me to be gentle, to appear submissive but to be daring in secret as far as God would allow me.

A mothers whisper

In the night when your fast asleep.
Precious eyes closed…and in a beautiful dream.
te hear a whisper…a soft gental sound.
te smile…and laugh..nowing mother is around.
Trying not to wake up from this dream of yours.
It makes te feel safe….all nice and warm.
te feel a nice, soft, warm hand on your head.
Mother cries…..is she dead?
te try to sposta to tell her you’re alright.
But te cant sposta at all that night.
Mother sings me a beautiful ryme.
I try to wake up…its about time!
I wanna feel her warm imbrass.
Is it really way to late….
I see an Angel up in the sky…
I see mother standing right by,
I walk to here and give her a hug.
Mother whispers…your in heaven my love(=

On the Privilege of Being a Woman

DR. ALICE von HILDEBRAND
On the Privilege of Being a Woman

January 14, 1997
New York Catholic forum Lecture
- Simone de Beauvoir, in The secondo Sex, wrote that women hate their bodies. Women are physically weaker, less clever, have less power and prestige. For men, procreation is a moment of physical ecstasy, whereas women suffer the discomfort of pregnancy and the agony of childbirth.

- Feminism is a metaphysical revolt against the characteristics of women. Men seem to have all the advantages, and so feminists try to become a caricature of men.

- Historically, women have been looked down on....

Female Chauvinism Versus the Majority of Modern Feminism

posted by Cinders

A long time ago, I wrote an articolo on link, and the misconceptions about not calling yourself a feminist. Since it was so long, I highly doubt that it was read da its target audience, so I'm going to keep this one very short.

I won't repeat myself on detailing all the different schools of feminist thought, especially because I doubt you're interested. Instead, let me just say this: Feminism is like many religions o philosophies. Just as one person who calls herself a Christian can have vastly different visualizzazioni and beliefs da another calling herself a Christian, the same can happen with feminism....

One Flaw In Women

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth giorno of working overtime.
An Angel appeared and said,
"Why are te spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have te seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet Coca Cola and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a baciare that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."

The Angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!?...

Missing Moms and 'Evil' Females in Disney Films

posted by SelinaKyle

I admit I loved Disney Princesses as a little girl, I collected stickers and pictures of my preferiti (Belle and Ariel and Cinderella) and have a lot of the movies.

But one curious thing I started to notice about Disney Film as I got older was that there were usually no mothers around, it was almost always a single dad and his daughter trying to get by. If there was a female adult, she was an awful stepmother o a wicked witch.

Here is a lista of Disney Film (and many of these are based on folk tales and Grimm fairy tales, but they are the ones Disney seems to like to make Film of...) where...

A Constant Struggle: Feminism and Women's Rights in the Modern World

(c)Lisa Regna, A Write to Heal

"The mystery of our time is the inability of decent people to get angry."-- Eric Hoffer

I'm going to ask te a domanda right now, and te can feel free to answer honestly. Do te consider yourself a feminist?

After Leggere the responses to _lina_'s link, I decided to remind everyone here, particularly women in the western world, what feminism today is really about.

Modern women in Europa and North America enjoy a multitude of freedom that often goes underappreciated. Women today are afraid to call themselves feminists because of the negative stereotypes associated with that word. Before I talk...

For those of te insecure about your bra size...

posted by cassie-1-2-3

This is mainly directed toward those who feel they are too small. I have no experiance with the other side of the issue.

I get somewhat annoyed and insulted when girls talk negatively about their small breast.
Girls wearing a size C think they're flat chested.. I always considered C to be large, but what do I know?

Girls cry over size B

Little girls saying "I'm worried about my body development. I'm 11 years old and I'm only a C cup"

I am small.. I've never come across anyone my age (20) of similar size o smaller than me and I'm not at all exaggerating. Everyone who I see complaining about their...

Real Women

DISCLAIMER: articolo taken from link. Originally from link da link.

Real women do not have curves. Real women do not look like just one thing.

Real women have curves, and not. They are tall, and not. They are brown-skinned, and olive-skinned, and not. They have small breasts, and big ones, and no breasts whatsoever.

Real women start their lives as baby girls. And as baby boys. And as bambini of indeterminate biological sex whose bodies terrify their doctors and families into making all kinds of very sudden decisions.

Real women have big hands and small hands and long elegant fingers and short stubby...

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST

She's sitting at the tavolo with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the latte carton.

"So, do te always carry your TV remote?" I asked. "No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured...

How to Survive Your Period

posted by StarWarsFan7

1.) Eat Chocolate. Cioccolato helps te have less stress which will make te feel better when having PMS.

2.) Try not to act like te are having your Premenstrual Syndrome. Such as, walking like something is wrong with your pad/tampon. Act like te have nothing wrong with te and act natural. Then, no one will know.

3.) When coming back from school/work, go to bed. Laying down helps your period and lets it go più smoothly so te won't have a delay in your usual period time. It also helps te relax.

4.) Be careful to not jump so much. It'll make all the blood come out faster and it'll make te feel, a bit uncomfortable.

5.) Change your pad/tampon daily o hourly.

My Version Of Being A Woman

posted by vider69

If I was dato the choice I would still prefer to be a woman, I believe in equal rights however being a woman is a great thing, there's nothing like having a girls night in (or a girls night out) Watching chick flicks (no matter what age te are) being independent, as I have found since I am 'happily' divorced from my ten plus anno marriage, now I'm enjoying being a woman più than ever. I can do what I like and being in charge of 'the remote' is great, I understand that 'some' people have experienced messy divorces o choose to be in a relationship, but I'm just happy to embrace my 'new life' and I'm loving it, it would be great to have a 'being single' spot (if there isn't one already)
Being a woman to me is:
Changing my hair color whenever I want.
Dressing up o being bummy and enjoying it.
Being feminine.
Watching a 'chick flick' with a glass of red wine and good quality chocolate.
And many, many other things that would take me forever to write.
