Women in 2010

The Atlantic Magazine, Bloomburg Businessweek and Newsweek all have had articles relating to Western women in places of power. Women are gaining the upper hand in the workplace, economics and politics. However, there are still doulbe standards relating to beauty, age, etc.

SOLIDARITY!!

Sure, I agree that men have to take responsibility. But as women are, partly, to blame for the predicament in which men now find themselves men have to take action to oppose the feminist onslaught.

For me this means strengthening the stereotypical confinement of women: promoting role models for women (young women particularly) that enable men: women as being only equal to their appearance etc, e.g. the Playboy model as the standard to which women must conform.

@dogbreath531 Why do you choose "confinement" and sexual objectification of women to make up for men being unable to keep up?

[dogbreath531]

@kleokriesel Because men are being pushed down by women and we have to fight back.

[kleokriesel]

@dogbreath531 hasn't the reverse been true for centuries?

[dogbreath531]

@kleokriesel Yes, you are right - women have had to fight back. Do you understand why men have to fight back now?

I do admire you and I respect you but as I see it if men don't put women 'in their place', women will put 'men in their place'.

[kleokriesel]

@dogbreath531 No, I don't think that any "fighting" needs to happen or that anyone should be "put in their place". That is limited, binary thinking

@kleokriesel burn. =D

[kleokriesel]

@dogbreath531 That's the responsibility of young men. We shouldn't have to back down and shut up for men to take care of themselves.

[dogbreath531]

@kleokriesel It's ok for them to get jobs etc but why celebrate women's ascendency? It's this that worries me about feminism.

You probably think it's about time women had the upper hand but to me it seems that men are going to become redundant. Everywhere you see young women full of pride and confidence while young men are in crisis.

I think its gone too far.

@dogbreath531 I'm pleased that women are more likely to get degrees, get jobs, etc. Are you saying you don't want that to happen?
