Dr. Shirin ebadi is very courageous. She spoke the truth about the catastrophic situation of human rights in Iran, although she should return to Iran. She was a judge and director of a court in the government of Shah. But after the islamic revolution(=islamic coup) she lost her job as a judge, because according to islamic regulations a woman cannot be a judge. What a nonsense and unfair regulation!! Mandana

Call me naive, but I was always under the impression that feminism is about promoting equality between the sexes and not being jerks to each other because of gender. Obviously there are some women who take it too far, but I would think the majority of feminists are reasonable, rational people who know better than to tip the scales in favour of one group over another.

Men want to control us? No, I don't want to control anybody I just don't want anybody to tell me that because you are a woman you have more rights than me. Feminism is an excuse to say that women are right no matter how awful a female human being you are.

And for your information there many kinds of doctors, not just in medicine. You men will not keep women down forever. Your time is up. The world is making your pig thoughts and actions very obsolete.
