Shazam2007-

Your comment is pretty laughable.

It is funny in politics when people start coming up like accusations such as "lazy". Just silly and ridiculous.

Anyway, I saw a movie about Feminist Initiative, met with the woman in the video, and studied their web-site. They are very inclusive of men. And, they have a wide variety of issues that they want to pursue that would help everyone.

Feminism is dead

Swedes are so much in for "equal" that they even try to practice "equal sex" - resulting in not many new babies procuced ,:-) (ass against ass:)

thats why most kids will be arabs, kurds and somalis in 2050 in that country ,:-) because its only the ethnic swedes who practice "equal sex" ,:-) ..

the attitude is, but the policy and laws like VAWA are still well in place, right minded people can not be lulled into silence, men stil lose their home and freedom because of how a woman FEEEEELS, now employser can even ask about restraining orders, who u think will get the job. Dave Letterman had a restraining order put on him becuase a woman feeeeelt he was sending messages through TV, cold thing he already had a job.
