missed the video.

i agree with that as well. if i ever have daughters i want them to live in a world where things are "equal" but really that is just not possible. men have, have always had and will always have stronger upper bodies. nothing my daughter can do about that. there are just some things that one sex is built to do better than the other. but i'll teach her to fight. i'll teach her the techniques not to be overpowered by anyone. at the same time though i'd want to teach her that she can't have it both ways.

What we want is to be paid the same as a man doing the same job.

That I agree with. If the qualifications and experience are comparable I think there should be no component that places one person above another. Affirmative action or women's lib shouldn't stop that. If I were a boss, I'd just want the most qualified person

I have never hit a woman in my life. Not sure if I could do. However if there was a female suicide bomber and it was obvious she was about to detonate herself, I think I would pull the trigger (if I had a gun) and kill her.

coolhandluke

so in that are you saying that a woman is less than a man and shouldn't be considered your equal?

Country Girl

I think it's absolutely charming when a man opens a door for me; lights my cigarette; opens my door before I get out of the car; etc. It makes me feel "frilly" in that girly kind of way: safe and protected. It's very close, safe, and secure. A very comforting feeling.

However, I'm a "country girl" too, and I've had to put up fences with my husband; pull up a well pump by a hand crank 130 feet from under the ground; hook up horse trailers; chop up fallen trees with a chainsaw; and break a horse by myself. When I was being raised I drove a combine for my grandfather; helped my Grandfather in the garden; and cleaned out a cess pit. I am definitely not what you would consider delicate. My husband respects me for that; I can still be a lady, but will do what I have to do to make this house/family run.

All in all, I use this rule: depends on the size of the person and their strength. If you're dealing with a very little person, who is half the size of you, just walk away, unless they have a gun, knife or sledge hammer. If you're dealing with a person that is the size of you, and you know to be very strong, you have a right to defend yourself, even *if* they are a woman. Some women are really strong! But if they're being difficult and abusing you, you have to defend yourself in one way or another! Screw chivalry during these times!

Like force = like force for defense.

I am weaker emotionally as well. I cry so easy!

This is not a weakness, it is a strength! By crying, we release our stress, don't shove it down inside ourselves and can let it out: thereby not storing it up in our muscles, our heart, etc., and causing health problems. Crying is a good release for stress, and most men are taught to be ashamed of it when it really is very healthy!

Be happy that you can cry! It is very healthy and very refreshing. I always feel better after a good cry; and for some reason it just puts me in a better frame of mind; it helps me gain perspective.

If someone attacks you, defend yourself. Don't waste time in discussions about chivalry. Let's unload chivalry and all that crap and just treat one another as humans. The person who gets to the door first opens it for the other person. The unencumbered person opens the door for the person with packages. People can open their own car doors unless their hands are full.

as for family violence, I remember a letter to Ann Landers or her sister years and years ago about spousal abuse. A woman wrote in and said she was cooking breakfast when her husband hit her. She picked up the cast iron frying pan and hit him back. He never hit her again. I always liked that story, coming from an abusive family as I did. However, those stories are the rarity. In most cases abuse escalates over the years until someone is killed. In an abusive situation, don't plan on fighting back. Get out and never go back.

that is perhaps the sexiest thing I have ever heard.

I wish I could cry easily. I'd like to do it right now
