IMO I hate how much women complain. You wan't equal rights? So why can't we hit girls? Equal rights, right? If women DO get equal rights, hitting them will be okay!

[Kristina3535]

This really wasn´t referring to hitting people, actually. In case you didn't read the description, this was part of a project, which focused on women´s equal voting rights, equal pay, and the suffrage movement. I don´t consider this complaining, simply asking for the justice and equality US citizens were promised when this country was founded. Women aren´t asking for special treatment, just to be treated equally as humans. Knock the negativity, your ignorance is really disgusting.

[Sbljsoda]

Wanna be treated equally as humans? Get drafted into armies, I wanna see how much you'll LOVE to have rights. Women may not have as many rights, true, but then again whenever a war comes you don't lose millions of women, only the men go out to war. This isn't ignorance, it's the "I'm sick of women complaining about the good things they don't have but are happy with the bad things they don't have."

[Kristina3535]

Give me one credible source that shows that women do not die in wars. One. I dare you. Go to 1:29 in this video, sorry, but what part of "my sister is a Black Hawk helicopter pilot" was difficult for you to understand?

Women are not picking and choosing, they are ASKING for equality, so yes, we would love to have EQUAL rights. Also, to correct you, this isn´t complaining, this is taking action to change social discrimination that people like yourself inflict.

[Kristina3535]

To restate my point one last time, this is not asking for picking and choosing. If equality involves more female lives lost, that´s the cost. And because you so clearly do not understand the concept of feminism, I encourage you to actually do some research and find out just how many women die in wars, your pathetic example.

[Kristina3535]

I also suggest you look at the women that were tortured and killed attempting to gain rights women today take for granted, such as the right to vote.

Your statements are false, and your beliefs invalid. I enjoy debate, but not when my opponent is making up information without any research or knowledge of the subject.

This is an amazing video, you really did a fantastic job.

P.S. great choice of music!

[13kizzah13]

You go, girl.

@Kristina3535 dismissed because of my opinion is contrary to most women. Also look at movies and TV, violence against men is appropriate and funny in many cases, especially if a women beats them, but to turn the tables would be disgusting. Is that fair? Can a truly equal society really tolerate violence against a gender or find it funny? Do not take me the wrong way, I support equality for both genders. Remember it has been mostly me that pulled civilization out of the mud and built society.

@Kristina3535 Also more women now attend college and have a degree. Should we put in programs to push men to get more degrees? Should we have the same programs? Also more suicides are accomplished by young men. Should we start a group for mens rights also? Men do not have the same choices as women, we can either work full time, work full time, or work full time. Were as women have the choice to be a full time parent. Society will not allow men to do this. I also know that I'm going to be

[battia01]

@Kristina3535 I will not deny any of what you say. Although my point is this, men are being raised differently than women. Take a look at media, men are the bumbling fools that can/t do anything right in society. I'm a grown man, I can see that this is just fiction, but to a little boy this is what he is supposed to be. When I was in high school no programs were made for young males to go to college or get a better life, but were for young women. Young me are often forgotten.

[battia01]

I agree 100 percent with you. All I say is that for equality you should have the same responsibilities.

[kevenescamilla]

@Sbljsoda exactly equal rights mean equal treatment.

[CAS53507]

women dont have equal rights?

whats not equal?



[maldread88]

@TheHanzi5591 Most men do treat women equally. And the fact of women being weaker then men is just a steriotype. I know plenty of woen who could go one on one with alot of tough guys and win. Its just the large majority or women get the IDEA that their weaker then men so they act the part say if they tripped and fell and hurt their knee they act like their in exteme pain, and if a guy did it they just blow it off like nothing. Its all about attitude, Mens and women are no different Physically

[TheHanzi5591]

@maldread88 women are gerally phycically weeker than most men ,thats why you shouldent hit them, its just common sense you dont start a fight with someone who is unable to defend themselfs against you becuse it is unfair !! i dont see why this should effect our right to be treated equally, could you please explain it to me ?

[maldread88]

The difference is that women are fightig for "equal rights" but yet once you confront one about it they'll get in your face about it and for say if you hit one they'd scream out YOU DONT HIT A GIRL! If women want eqal rights then they need to learn to stop being gigantic babies and take a hit just like a man and stop hiding behind the law.
