Gender Issues Rant
kevsan10:
One thing that I don’t understand about gender stereotypes and issues is how a man is looked down upon if he is not scruffy, full of muscles, and has the attitude of a bad boy. People don’t view a man, as a man if he is not dirty, doesn’t like to work out, and has compassion. For some reason men are not allowed to be seen crying, and they can not listen to any music that has a woman...

I hate how people complain when they see an older girl with a younger guy and an older guy with a younger girl. i think you should just leave poeple alone and not judge them.

For a women to be over weight is just sad! It’s unhealthy and unatractive. Everyone can be at a healthy weight, because everyone started at a healthy weight. It’s stupid how you can be so lazy and not care about your health, weight and apperance. As for the people (models) that are underweight. “Thinner is better” that’s what people are saying. It is not better!...

I have some thing to say to the companies that want people to be thin and look like all the models in there advertisement. All of us from senior‘s to kids watch and see what those companies show and say. What I’m talking about, is company with any products that advertised it, are giving the bad idea. For a few examples: there showing little girls all dress like adults, older women dress as kids,...

The one thing I think is a bunch of bullshit is how men in this world are still stuck on the idea that it is the woman’s job to clean house, take care of the kids, cook dinner, wash clothes, and try to do homework too. Me and my husband always get into fights over this because he thinks just because he works a full-time job that he does his part and isn’t supposed to help. He thinks...

Muslims and Non-Muslims have found a way to interrupt a read of Surah an-Nisa verse 34 to beat their woman.
QURAN 4:34 - “Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience,...

I am a male; the one thing that ticks me off is when men say, “Women bitch too much”. If you think about it, women tell us men to do something and we don’t do it the first time around. By doing this, isn’t that why women bitch.
Most of the time when women tell us me to do something us men always bitch before the women do. I bitch when my wife tells me to do something. Don’t get me wrong...

One thing that really upsets me about gender stereotypes is gender stereo types in general. Why is it that people think differently of the two genders why cant every one just be treated equal ? men are no better then women„ and women are no better then men. I think that the people that are stereotyping are just idiots. Men and women were created equal just because our bodies are...

So what makes it ok for guys to sleep around? And are considered “players” and yet if girls do, they’re immediately whores, slut etc. that really gets to me. Or when a guy can be talking to so many girls and a girl can only, talk to one guy because it’s wrong for a girl to talk to so many guys. Why is it wrong for a girl but ok for a guy?! It’s such a double standard and I hate it. Guys should...

I would like to reflect on a issue. I relate too, being a young Mother. Last week I had a assignment to read “Has mommy-ism replaced sexism?” When I read this article I concluded that the author was very wise and was all for girl power. However, her last statement made me contemplate and challenge her IDEA.
Her idea was that if us women stopped nagging the ‘Corporate Man’,...

In Afghanistan, girls are not supposed to obtain an extensive education, be in public without a male chaperone, or work outside the home.

Families with sons can send all of their children out in public...
