do u know how it is like not to date who u want or to wear what u like. i dont but my siss do. and i knew many of their secrets, gave alibis for dating. did u know their word is less worth in the court. did u know they inherit half the amount of the sons. did u know that they get constantly annoyed by taxi drivers they rent cuz they live little more freely than most other women here. or did u know that they got and will get death threats cuz they defend women rights and hide women in danger, of their own family. did u know my sis was the first girl in the city driving a pickup to university and ppl were talking and looking at her like an alien. i guess not.
however i have to say that iam kind of disappointed that no one posted a serious feedback to the topic, but r posting at the same time in other threats demands on their rights and about the unfairness in the world.

Ok this puts things in a bit more perspective for me.
I read the topic headline and then EACH post and couldn't make heads or tails out of it.


You are correct I DON'T know what it is to live like that I DO read about it and yet it would be insulting to say I "know" what it is like.

What I do know is I was blessed to be born in the USA here I believe anyone can achieve their dreams through hard work etc.

I do believe in the equality of men and women. In this country we can and do step into each others roles.
I do believe that we all have to strive to accept others not enable but encourage.
I do believe in equality based on a persons earned merits.
Not what they look like, what career they choose, the colour of ones skin isn't something that doesn't factor in in my world. Gender also doesn't come to factor for me at all. Male or female both are vital and we both are able to share or carry lifes load

Is this more of what you were looking for. If this post would have been in your opening post it would have given me a bit more clarity and I wouldnt have been lost


U know despite all that all of my siss decided on their to come back to Kurdistan as they have austrian citizenship. someone has to face the fight and they r fighting well. everyone have to demand his her own rights noone else will do it for u. men can be supporters, as i am, but the fight and struggle and pain has to be carried on their shoulders mainly, otherwise they wont be taken serious.

Gender equality is an ideal that not everyone is comfortable with.
Tge world being in a constsnt stste if change, there isn't always someone to fill a specific gender role. Men are single parents. Women ate single parents.
There comes a point where you don't wirk to fulfill a gender role but become self sufficient because it's the only way to meet life's demands


actually i hoped that ppl will try to answer the questions.

lets say complete equality is even impossible to achieve. thats not the point. my point or my question is what do we expect when we demand gender equality.?
my personal vision of G.E. for example shows the same rewarding for the same action with the same outcome. men r physically stronger so they can carry more if thats the demand and should be paied more, otherwise simple business concepts would be weakened. contrary women can stand cold temperatures better than man, if the demand is to act in the cold and she is more productive than him, than its her ability that justifies a higher reward. the mentioned examples dont mean equal reward per person but its equal reward per outcome. but in an office job for expl. rewarding should not vary.
another important point is the women get the babies. how should that be rewarded? the rewarding here should not be material i would say. for expl women with babies or kids should always have priority when waiting in line or when getting an medical treatment or when she starts working again....
ofc if they r divorced he should have to pay and to care for the child.


It was just a little difficult to make out what you were asking. Sometimes the slightest grammatical/syntactical (is that even a word?) errors make things confusing. Anyhoo, sounds like you come from a cool family and Im jealous that you have the power of speaking my language at all while I can speak no other language.

That said: In terms of equality for women, the hope is that we would have equal opportunity, and respect. Some day, I hope there is no such thing as 'pink collar jobs' or sexual harassment, rape culture, or 3% of convicted rapists serving jail time, or the need for the Lilly Ledbetter Act. All these tell women they are not respected or valued in the usa culture.

Im sure youve heard the expression:
"Feminism is the radical notion that women are people"

There are folks that will shame people who support feminism and try to make it seem like its bad in some way like that it means a hatred for men or that women want to be men etc.

Women want to continue to be women and be respected anyway. Men and women have differences. Why not value each other for all that chit.


thx my friend, i agree with u completely. hhh cool so iam inventing words

As a feminist myself, I feel really good when I see male feminists. I feel like they are safer to be with because of it. I believe they are usually welcome, and if they are excluded its not feminism but sexism.
