Women's Rights & Issues

2011-12-11T15:15:25+00:00

Women (and our "issues" ) are now just lumped right in with the *queers* whether we're *queer* or not and as if we're some fringey minority like the MRAs over there in the OH So Necessary! Men's Group. Jeezuz, we all know that DU is one bigg-ass Men's Group already! Females comprise more than 51% of the human population yet here we are in our little "safe haven" because we need paternalistic protection from the brothers riding roughshod all over us? Well there's something progressive and new! Way to blaze the trail for that women's EQUALITY y'all are going on about all the time! Democracy? Ha! Effing pathetic is what it is. And BTW: "Gender" is the societal construct which produces feminine and masculine as sexed roles based on the two biological sexes , Female and Male. I am NOT a *feminine*, I am a Female.

I think it's a bit of an over-reaction. The Gender & Orientation also has a Men's Group so that should should address your equality issue. Also, a bit offended by your use of the word queer and not wanting to be "lumped in" with them. Your own post doesn't seem very progressive, IMHO.
