Men and women whoever you are, find out your strengths and weaknesses, follow your strengths and work around your weaknesses. Don't let the media, your neighbour, your peeps or your family decide what is good for you. Decide it yourself and you will have a happy, successful, life.

Know that there is hard work in front of you, and just sitting and thinking that you will be happy will not make you happy at the end of the day.

I'm not saying to defend feminist..

but women has been oppressed all the history of human being..

so a rise of women should means celebration of human evolution :)

[Allan Seas]

women like money.... they will try to find wealthy men, therefore nothing (but the way of opression) has changed

She said romantic love makes you hold someone higher than everyone else... and then she said you can feel romantic love for two people at once equally? Could someone explain this to me?

[Dipesh Panchal]

Whatever she said was nothing new.. Most of it was common sense..
