luvmy2ns Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 That is a jingoistic and chauvinistic response with no baring on reality at all. Moral absolutes without context once again. No. It's NON-chauvenistic expecting that we all hold ourselves to the expectations we place on others AND expecting equal treatment for BOTH men and women BY both men and women.

dreamergrl Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I don't care if it's male or female, I think gender generalization is just straight out wrong. What is the point in posting in this forum if your that dead set against trying to understand why you have so many issues regarding the opposite sex? There is none, and all it does is get everyone worked up. I wish those who come here to make statements like Max has (male or female) would just go else where. Link to post Share on other sites
MaxManwell Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I don't understand why you don't like the idea that men and women are different and that they should be treated differently. Link to post Share on other sites
MaxManwell Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Oh dear. You haven't been reading my posts. Actually, I never said that at all. I've been saying it's individual, not absolute. You've been saying it is absolute. Me: Don't be a hypocrite; do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. You: All women should be held to a different standard than all men, because they just should and that's that. See the difference? The fact is, I would never say anything like "men are jerks." Feel free to search my posts. I don't write that type of stuff; what I argue and have always argued is that both genders should be held to the same standard. That's not something that you agree with, however, as you said: And then this: What I won't hear a word of is this nonsense that women should be held to a higher level of accountability. But I'm doing fine with my philosophy, and I'm quite happy with the idea that men and women have equal access to their abilities to think, judge and assess others. I like thinking of people as individuals, because that's who they are. I think it's just easier for you to characterize this as me saying "men are jerks," because you don't see how someone can simply find your - individual - beliefs appalling. It has nothing to do with what I think of what other men, or women for that matter, are saying. Anyone who's willing to hold themselves EQUALLY accountable is okay by me. The trouble is, you don't. See above. Most men and women are cool; some women are jerks, some men are jerks. That's how it goes. I think you're having difficulty grasping that. Most of that is well written tit for tat name calling and word twisting The only thing of substance is that you think men and women should be treated the same. Well I do think that is very silly and dangerous. Can you give me a good reason why men and women should be treated the same, given they're so obviously different ? Link to post Share on other sites
dreamergrl Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I don't understand why you don't like the idea that men and women are different and that they should be treated differently.

J2FT1 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Actually, Max, what I said was that men and women should hold themselves to the same standards by which they judge others. I never argued that men are worse than women because of biological differences; that's your own hang-up. In other words - if you're going to sleep around with a bunch of people you insist on thinking of as sluts, then how on God's green Earth do you not think you're one too?? You're doing the exact same thing they are. Seriously, this is not so hard to understand: if they're "sluts" because they sleep around casually, and you're also sleeping with them casually, then that makes you a...??? Get it now? They're both in the same boat, so BOTH or NEITHER ought to get the same label. Not just one because of a "biological difference." Alternatively, we could just allow that people can sleep with whomever they want without having to be nastily labeled. How is the guy a slut when it's his job to find a mate? A women's job is to be found. So when a women does what a man does (in the case of sex), she is called a slut because it's out of the norm for a women to do it. Just like if a guy does his hair, puts on makeup, and other things that females do. If a woman told a bunch of women that she has a lot of sex partners, they would call her a slut. If a man told a bunch of guys that he has a lot of sex partners, they would praise him. So even women put it on themselves, not just men. In an ideal world, women and men are treated the same, but this is reality. If a man has to do heavy lifting because he's a man, should the women that does the checking off boxes get paid the same? No, but they do because they understand that women can't lift because of their body structure. Should women and men get paid the same in professional sports because it's "fair?" Even when the male sports generate more revenue and more excitement? Should a women get hired just because of her looks? No, but sex sells. Would you consider it strange if a woman goes out and works while the man stays home and take care of the kids? NO. If someone heard this, they would assume the man is taking advantage of the woman. But not the other way around. Women claims to want equality but in truth, they just want the best of both worlds. Men are fine doing the men's part, not like women. So you want the guy to pay for your movie ticket, but you get to weigh in on the movie to see? Bullcrap. The reason "race" and "equality" between races was such an issue because we are all humans, so we should all be treated like humans. Just because a man treats a women like a women (opens door for her, pay for her ticket, makes the decisions are many things, final say) doesn't mean he's inhumane, he's normal. There are different standards for men and women because we are different. If you (female) sleeps with a lot of guys, you will be called a slut. If a guy sleeps with a lot of girls, he's called a player (this could be bad or good).Get over it. Women can't suddenly become the alpha mate in 50 years, maybe a million (talking about evolution)...

luvmy2ns Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Both men and women have free will and a brain.

So when a women does what a man does (in the case of sex), she is called a slut because it's out of the norm for a women to do it. Just like if a guy does his hair, puts on makeup, and other things that females do. There's a huge difference between sex and "hair and makeup". And who's to say it has to be the guys job to find the mate? What's wrong with a woman finding herself a mate? If a woman told a bunch of women that she has a lot of sex partners, they would call her a slut. If a man told a bunch of guys that he has a lot of sex partners, they would praise him. So even women put it on themselves, not just men. In an ideal world, women and men are treated the same, but this is reality. You are generalizing, that's not how it goes in every group of men and women. Plus, that has more to do with how "society" thinks then "evolution". If a man has to do heavy lifting because he's a man, should the women that does the checking off boxes get paid the same? No, but they do because they understand that women can't lift because of their body structure. Not every man can lift more then every woman. It's different, depending on the person, the job, the situation. You can't group like that. Should a women get hired just because of her looks? No, but sex sells. Should a woman get hired over a man because she can do the job better? Would you consider it strange if a woman goes out and works while the man stays home and take care of the kids? NO. If someone heard this, they would assume the man is taking advantage of the woman. But not the other way around. It's not that uncommon anymore for the woman or both parents to be out working verses the "stay at home mom" routine. Women claims to want equality but in truth, they just want the best of both worlds. Men are fine doing the men's part, not like women. I don't know about other people on here, but my bf isn't expected to pay. We treat each other, or split things.

You told me to answer an example, so I chose above. No. I do NOT expect a man to pay for my movie ticket. I expect whoever asked the other out to pay and yes - I have done the asking AND the paying. Unless, however, you're in a relationship. I just try to make sure one or the other isn't doing all the paying when I'm in a committed relationship.

No you are not different tha different actually and some of you are just chauvenistic and up until the feminst revolution you had your say and things had to be played your way and that was that, well it's not so like that anyomore so YOU get over it, because you are calling "easy" women sluts and at the end of the day the women you end up in a long term relationships with are just as big a slut if not bigger but you will never know. trust me on that one!! and there ain't no way you ever know for sure but if it makes you feel more confident and more confortable and eases your psyche that we lie to you and show you we are good girls instead of "bar sleeze" then by all means let's all have a game of charades, yippeeee! it's fun to play pretend and if I can gets my jollies off as much as I want between relationshios and it lands me a long term relationship to play innocent when I do meet the right guy then who am I to try to go against a little white lying here and there? the bottom line here is the women that are very open about their sexuality, ie let other people see that they are very in tune with their sexuality are not sluts they are "dumb" (no offense to any women at all I am just trying to make my point) but the smart woman just hides it really really well and continues on the be the good "slut" that she is, without any man catching on. and if she wants to land a guy for a long term relationship status she lays on the good girl act even thicker. so the joke is on the men who adhere to labeling women and "look" for good girls while they themselves do excatly what they fault women to do because you don't even get a good girl you just get a smart one that knows how to hide it well. as I am sure you also downplay how many sexual partners you've had if you were a total player...
