| ah, seperate but equal, that reminds me of racism.
thanks for clarifying a little femdem :)
I have read an essay by a long-time feminist who did try to take on some traits that men are generally better suited for. It was about what women could learn from men. Initially she said there was only one thing to learn from men; the ability to summon a waiter/waitress with the slightest of gestures. She then dove into other aspects to promote a womens self-esteem and help her not be a submissive drone. One other example of something that seemed prevalent was men in leadership positions. let me go into why I think that men are more prone to lead:
It all goes back to gender needs ( pray i do not say roles ). unless you have a big ego or a strong drive for power, the majority of women generally [& genetically]hold different values which are apparent: sensitive, self-concious, and cautious -- and too much so to take this leadership role. I'm not saying a woman can't.. which is what most profeminists read from what i've said. Its not that at all, instead its that an average woman just wouldn't do this on her own terms. The ones that do are the ones who need this sort of thing [ My, from what they may preceive as negative-male-inspiration ] to boost and drive them, which, coincidentally is the dominant self-concious trait that woman on average have. Where as a male would take the leadership almost automatically. As seen in almost any small group discussions as it develops. I think everyone who has had schooling knows that the boys will speak up in a group discussion and specifically one or maybe a few will try to take a hold of it. Unless it gets personal, or deals with their personal life, and is offensive, then girls get in on it with a vengence. This is so common its not even funny. Look at a girl fight sometime, girl with a girl. It can get intense, and the most intense things a girl can say to eachother in a fight are ones that strike their personal life. Where as a guy, wouldn't take much heed to an offense to his feelings. But when it has to do with either the guys ego, strength, balls/manhood, or just threatining their power, thats when shit goes down with men usually. Of course there are exceptions but those are usually the low blows. |
