Feminism and it's effects

[GuyWithAFoil]

Radical feminism smells of elderberries! I consider myself a conservative feminist, that is, i believe that women are to be treated with dignity and respect as people of God and that we have the same rights to opportunities (like scholarships, sports, careers, and education) as guys. I'm against abortion, birth control, honor crimes, pornography, prostitution, and the exploitation of women in the market place and I don't like how our society makes a woman's breasts seem dirty when they were meant to nourish babies.

That said, I also don't like how men are minimalized and made to seem like villains in a woman's life and I hate how ppl would think a guy is being sexist just because he's trying to be a gentlemen. A lot of my guy friends have been known to open doors for women (and the guy i currently have a crush on opened a door for me and it was the first time he did it for me so i'm still flying high, lol) and one of my guy friends sported me a quarter when I was buying a drink so i didn't have to fumble in my wallet for spare change. There are many amazing guys out there and it's not fair how they have been emasculated by many radical feminists

I recall a time when I opened a door for one I considered to be a lady, I was mistaken. I opened to door for her and she retored, "You do not need to open to door for me because I am a lady." To which I responded, "Ma'am, I did not open the door for you because you are a lady, that much is obvious. I opened the door because I am a gentleman." Nevermind you I open the door for my male friends as well, I simply believe that a person is too defer to another whenever possible.

I miss read that as something like "I opened the door because you were a gentleman." Great story Paphnutius.

I get a little nervous holding doors open and such, on occasion, but I also think..."hey, if you don't like it, too bad."

The fire alarm went off in high school once and I held the door open for the entire class, men and women. At the very end was this "liberated" goth girl who looks me square in the face and sneers, "WE can get the door for OURSELVES, you know!"

Coming from you I bet she was dumbfounded!

Perfect grammar, except for your "y'all," and always so polite, well-mannered, and straight-forward, but also able to kick someone's butt if need be.

...hmmm...you could be a Southern Batman...
