Bah. Chivalry. Nonsense.
Don't hold open that door for me! I'll do it myself!
Haha, sorry...a memory from high school. I always felt awkward having men/boys hold doors open for me...but of course only if they went out of their way to do it (if they were already pushing the door open and just let me pass because my hands were full, then it was cool), but then I had to think "well, maybe they would have done the same thing if I was a boy..." but I'd never know for sure. I stopped caring, then a feminist teacher (who was actually male) pointed out the unfeminist underlying attachments to such actions. Dang feminism, so confusing sometimes.
I apologize, random thought brought about by all this male-female friendly competition, combined with a LOT of studying I've been doing lately. ~sigh~
i wish i could say iv been doing a lot of studying lately! exams and deadlines in less than a week. wish me luck...i know il ace it but still....lol.
i do sympathise with the guys on this one (nope girls, not betraying us) when it comes to opening doors for the girls, they can never do the right thing cos wer not constant. i know this from my own experience-when its raining and im waiting on the bus and a member of the male sex doesnt let me on before him...drives me mad! but otherwise im ok if they dont. actually id prefer it if they did, as u all know im petite so all dorrs are too big for me so i like it when they open it for me. !
A-HEM! I do believe that it was the female of the species that pushed for equal rights with the male, was it not? So if we treat you as we would another male, that is "Open your own door, mate, you have hands, right?" and "You brought the luggage, so carry it yourself, I have to carry my own.” or maybe "While you're up, bring me a beer." are we not treating you with equality? Perhaps you should react as one of us would in the given situations: "Yeah, I have hands, but I can't open the door with a beer in one hand and a Big Mac in the other, so get over here and let me out of the car!"
"Yeah, right. We're on this trip together, I had to bring most of our gear, and if you think I'm hauling it all while you walk off with your backpack and rifle case, get another think going really fast, dude."
"You want a beer, get your own. I'm on my way to the Loo!"
See, you got to talk the male language if you want equal rights! :)
Actually most didn't exist even in the middle ages.Quote:

Whenever I read books set in the middle ages it seems a mysterious and magical time, but reality is quite quite different from fiction.
Thank you Kathy. Quite true.Quote:

stupid femminists :mad:
I have no problem with suffergetts, or the votes fro women or all that but the feminists took it too far, have you heard of the femminist interpritation to Keats' La Belle dame sans merci?
No I would love to hear it. I've been saying this about the iterary thoery crowd as long as I've been on lit net. It's not just the feminists. It's all these modern critics.Quote:

This is a perfect example of how current professor's are imposing their ideas on students and distorting literature.Quote:
