bohm
Tell me how people in nordic countries are repressed about sex.
When i saw sexual education movies when i was 12 there was videos of men and female who was masturbating, genetials in full sight. Also, its not uncommon to see full frontal nudity (male/famale) in public tv, and if you go to any beach in the summer there are nudists. Im not sure how it is in america, but i thought those things was not that common in america?
Isnt there some medival law in Utah or Alabama that butt-sex is illegal? (another topic i vaguly remember was discussed in sex-ed).

Hmmm....
Yeah, I commented on Thunderf00t's videos (on YouTube) about Muslim scientists posting the fewest scientific papers of any ethnic group worldwide , and mentioned that the Muslim countries are basically negating half of their nation's brain power by repressing their women...
Unfortunately, regarding women's potential, the U.S. [as well as much of the "Western" world...] isn't far advanced ahead of the Muslim nations as it should be, given its resources and power...
Women are STILL looked upon as second-class citizens in America; I recall the "Scientific American" issue in which the editors printed an article (I believe it was on computer science) written ENTIRELY with a "female" voice/"persona" [written sometime during the 2000's...].
The hue and cry over THAT issue showed that science - at least in America - is STILL as subject to gender disparity as are many other occupations in America.

"equal.......... there is danger that this whole thing could swing wildly to any side! ..."
Hmmmm.....
Now, let's think about this logically - and from an historical viewpoint....
For thousands of years [and I could easily show tens of thousands of years...], the human male has dominated the females....
So, gender "equality" generated a concern in you, DaCheech, that suddenly men would be stripped of all their power????
Yeah, like power-grabbing males would EVER let that happen...
As I stated in my post on Thunderf00t's video, a nation - tribe, peoples, culture - that negates the potential of HALF OF ITS POPULATION, is, in effect, LIMPING ON ONE LEG... Not living up to its full potential in any way, shape or form...
Not to mention that human males are the death-oriented half of the species... Wars, genocides, murders - all committed by an overwhelming male majority. And any species that views the death-oriented half of its population as superior to and more valuable than its life-oriented half...
Is not going to survive, in the long run...
Need I explain why???

Currently, men in the US have the bigger problem with unemployment.
Additionally, women outstrip men in college graduation.
The gender gap among college undergraduates is nothing new. But at the College of Charleston, the gap is looking like more of a chasm.
With a gender ratio of about two to one – approximately 34 percent of students are male and 66 percent are female – the college is an outlier. But that ratio is not too far out of the ordinary for Charleston, say officials, who aren’t fretting too much over the gap.
“I think we would like to see more male presence, but on the flip side of that, we are very strong academically,” said Donald C. Burkard, associate vice president for admissions and enrollment planning at Charleston. “Percentages don’t always tell the story.”

Currently, 135 women receive bachelor's degrees for every 100 men. That gender imbalance will widen in the coming years, according to a new report by the U.S. Department of Education.
This is ominous for every parent with a male child. The decline in college attendance means many will needlessly miss out on success in life. The loss of educated workers also means the country will be less able to compete economically. The social implications -- women having a hard time finding equally educated mates -- are already beginning to play out.
But the inequity has yet to provoke the kind of response that finally opened opportunities for women a generation ago. In fact, virtually no one is exploring the obvious questions: What has gone wrong? And what happens to all the boys who aren't in college?

"The Great Mancession"
http://www.dailymarkets.com/economy/2010/09/04/wsj-interactive-graph-of-the-great-mancession/
WSJ Interactive Graph Of The Great Mancession
Here’s a great WSJ Interactive Graphic that allows you to watch: a) monthly job losses by sector from December 2007 to August 2010 and b) monthly changes in the number of unemployed workers by gender and race over the same period.
When watching the job losses by sector, you’ll see that that: a) construction and manufacturing were the two sectors hit with the most job losses (combined loss of almost 4 million jobs through August 2010) during the recession, and b) education and health care were the only two private sectors that continued to add jobs during the entire recession (more than 1 million jobs combined through August).
Then watch the interactive graph of the monthly number of unemployed workers by gender and you’ll see that men were disproportionately affected by job losses, to the extent that in many months there were two men unemployed for every unemployed female. Even now that the recession has ended, there were still 172 unemployed men in August for every 100 unemployed women.
These two trends in sector job losses/gains and unemployment by gender are directly related by these facts about employment shares by gender:
Education: 74.3% female, 25.9% male
Health Care: 74.6% female, 25.4% male
Construction: 4.4% female, 95.6% male
Manufacturing: 21.4% female, 78.6% maleIn other words, these two interactive graphs help tell the story of the Great Mancession of 2007-2010 and how men were disproportionately affected by the recessionary conditions that adversely impacted male-dominated industries (construction and manufacturing), while employment in female-dominated industries actually increased throughout the entire recession. And according to the employment report yesterday, there is still a 2% male-female jobless rate gap of 10.6% for men and 8.6% for women, so the Great Mancession is not yet close to ending.
Bottom Line: Maybe it’s not such a good time to be man, now that men are on the wrong side of the jobless rate gap by 2%, the wrong side of the college degree gap(142 women graduated from college in 2010 for every 100 men) and now even the wrong side of the wage gap.

The Reverse Gender Wage Gap:
.... according to a new analysis of 2,000 communities by a market research company, in 147 out of 150 of the biggest cities in the U.S., the median full-time salaries of young women are 8% higher than those of the guys in their peer group. In two cities, Atlanta and Memphis, those women are making about 20% more. This squares with earlier research from Queens College, New York, that had suggested that this was happening in major metropolises. But the new study suggests that the gap is bigger than previously thought, with young women in New York City, Los Angeles and San Diego making 17%, 12% and 15% more than their male peers, respectively. And it also holds true even in reasonably small areas like the Raleigh-Durham region and Charlotte in North Carolina (both 14% more), and Jacksonville, Fla. (6%).
