  BEAUTIFUL FEMINISTS?

  by Mecurious? in

  1. jw

  are feminists unattractive?

  i mean physically.

  most of the feminists i've met were either ugly, dykey or both.

  Coming out of hiding for a moment to say....
  

  I am a feminist.

  I do not hate men.

  I am not ugly.

  I dress fashionably in the best clothes I can afford (THANKS, EBAY), wear just enough makeup to enhance my best features, always have an up-to-date hairstyle, have perfectly manicured hands and feet, love to read Harper's and Vogue, open doors for everyone regardless of sex and, even at my advanced age of almost 48, am still "hit on". By all kinds of men. And all ages of men.(I can't believe I'm sitting here posting semi-ostensibly (or ostensibly-semi) positive things about myself while in the depths of self-deprecating depression, but this post kind of hurt. An extremely efficacious post, I might add. I really shouldn't be playing into the original poster's hands this way.)

  I am also a Jersey girl. We kick ass when we're pissed. So watch it.

  PS Year after year, in South Jersey, I read the same comment (below) in newspaper articles about the protesters at the Miss America Pageant. I'm sure if you look throug the archives of the Camden Courier Post or the Philadelphia Inquirer, you will find the following comment in articles about the pageant made by men who observed both the contestants and the feminist protestors:
  
  "The protesters are better looking than the contestants."

  Oh,

  And I don't criticize beautiful women for participating in beauty pageants. To each her own....

  Today was my D-Day ... I beat the odds!

  last year on july 15th, 2002, my cardiologist gave me less than a year to live.

  with the 14 remaining blocked arteries, there was not much hope.

  even a by-pass would only correct 3 or 4 arteries and give me a slight lease on life.

  from another thread:where else does the media so vividly show females as equal .

  when i read this, i had to wonder: is there something wrong with doing so?

  portraying women as equals?

  some of us are just trying to be politically correct?

  No, I don't think so, and I do appreciate everyone's responses.

  For the record, I don't like working for women. OR men. I don't like working for anyone other than myself. Period. That said, I think I myself was a crappy (ultra) low-level manager. Those whom I "managed" thought I was great: understanding, fair and consistent. Upper management did not agree. They thought me too lenient. All for the employee, and not a company person at all.

  Oh No! Could The WTS Have Been Right Re Aluminium!!!!!!!!!

  by ISP in

  aluminium toxicity in edinburgh (1976)

  in the 1970s, there were outbreaks of encephalopathy (dementia) and bone disease (osteomalacia) in various dialysis units.

  this was often called "dialysis dementia".

  he FDS was moved to warn Gods household ahead of time that Aluminium pans could indeed represent a threat to sanity. The faithful adhered to the warning and escaped from insanity

  Now that's a matter of opinion.

  in view of what has recently happened to rozalyn (rebel) i believe anyone who is considering attending a judicial committee should take note:.

  i have always tried to love others from my own childhood upbringing.

  i have been treated like a traitor.

  My wife and I now implement the garybuss philosophy. We have cut off our daughters UNTIL they see the error of THEIR ways. Our true friends are RIGHT HERE and we're not about to compromise our integrity to this forum by backtracking on what we know is the REAL TRUTH.

  Dansk, I know how difficult this must be for you; my heart is with you.

  Much love,

  Why isn't the bible clear?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if god wanted everybody to understand the bible, wouldn't he/she have made the bible a little easier to understand?.

  just change a word or put a comma at a different place, and the meaning of a verse changes completely.

  there are so many different religions who claim they use the bible but contradict each other and have different teachings.. even jesus followers and disciples didn't understand jesus's message too well.

  Been wondering the same thing myself.

  If my biological father wrote me such a cryptic "letter", telling me that my future "inheritance" of living indefinitely in his palatial mansion depended on me understanding what he meant, and gave me no assistance deciphering it, AND I had a relatives as well as complete strangers all trying to interpret it in their own way, each insisting s/he was correct, I'd be inclined to say: "FORGET IT!!!! I can't take anymore".

  I honestly don't want to get to that point with the Creator/Owner of the universe, but I'm about to just quit in total and utter frustration.
