It was not what I would call a 'cherished hope', its just how things ended up.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong though, I would fight tooth and nail to keep the right to choose my own path. Just because I'm happy pottering around the house doesn't mean that all women should be forced to do the same, just like I shouldn't be forced to be a ball-busting executive of some multinational corporation.<BR/><BR/>Its nice that women are using their right to choose in a way that fosters families and relationships, but that isn't a free ticket to take that choice away.Callahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16779147701859218700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-1158279395059981162006-09-15T10:16:00.000+10:002006-09-15T10:16:00.000+10:00Well, about 13% of me, doesnt wan to be in fullime...Well, about 13% of me, doesnt wan to be in fullime work when I'm 40. And at least 75 percent of me wants o get married before i'm a kid. And in case, you didn't already get it, i'm a man.<BR/><BR/>So what's your point? That the quote you've snipped from new statesman represents feminism? Give me a break. You say you want to undersand what your up against... That is important, but it's even more useful to locate where there are common interests. You misunderstand the broad feminist project...and so do most of the women quoted. <BR/><BR/>Personally im of the opinion that now it should be about gender studies and not feminist sudies, but denying what good has happened in the past shows up your ideological blinkers.<BR/><BR/>Interesting blog, though It's rare to find the conservative view put even semi-convincingly :-)<BR/><BR/>And Bobby, I can't believe you're running the argument that women shouls stop striving for equal rights (check thefigures,man, and youll see there's a way to go) because they have a psychological need for a dependent (monogamous!) relationship. Sheesh.<BR/><BR/>You have some relevant concerns and if you stop beating up your straw-feminists, i reckon they would be happy to discuss them with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-1158002035539132142006-09-12T05:13:00.000+10:002006-09-12T05:13:00.000+10:00My goodness, this is encouraging!What we need now ...My goodness, this is encouraging!<BR/><BR/>What we need now is for a similar survey to show that a large majority of young people want to protect and preserve their culture and people and think multiculturalism is bunk. We're not there yet, I think, but perhaps we may yet get there. The reaction of these young women just goes to show that the truth - that what really works - eventually works out.MnMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110007186831549266noreply@blogger.com
