Double standards
| Fri, 05-21-2004 - 2:46pm |
Because of the responces to this comment about double standards between men and women, I figured I would start a thread on it.
Do you believe a double standard exists about sexuality of men and women?
What do you feel is the cause of this double standard?
Would you find it harder to believe a man or a woman who cried Rape??? (for your benefit Tish. He He)
And last, if your mate complained that you were not doing something that they really enjoyed, how much of your own opinion on it would you bring to the conversation, and would you expect your partner to give up something they really liked because you didn't??
Any other comments/questions are welcome. I don't like the double standards in sexuality but I have no choice but to accept them as they are.

And yes, most of the men and women serving on the ground ARE children, basically! We're talking about 18-21 yr. olds for the most part!
My son just got out of the Navy after 6 yrs. and he served in the Persian Gulf last year. He SAW people killed. My nephew just got back from Iraq, serving as a medic and is now overcoming all he's seen and done. And they BOTH will tell you that women are everywhere in the military and are being shot at with the same bullets and ARE in harm's way everyday.
Like it or not, without women in the military, serving in various capacities, we wouldn't have enough soldiers to protect our own borders, much less our interests elsewhere in the world.
And absolutely nurses should be given their due! If they're in country during a war, they're in danger!

I merely responded to a statement made by another poster that I felt needed addressing, just as you responded to a similar comment...made by the same poster.
You are completely misquoting me. I believe both women who work outside and inside of the home deserve respect.
I agree that having a family is a team effort.
