    2. my brother is a male feminist and the idea behind it is that all of us are human beings and my adopting a "masculine" gender role, men deprive themselves of the chance to develop their full potential.
    NO, this does not mean "get in touch with your feminine side, guys, let's all hug and sing a song"... it also means that women do the same by adopting feminine" gender roles.
    basically, it means that the issue isn't "women's rights versus men's rights" but that both are the same really

    You mean I don't have to go around wearing a dress to get in touch with my feminine?

    More important question, what ever happened to smilingtearz? I miss her.

    nope, that's what you have to do to make me laugh

    question: why do computer programmes (especially graphic design programmes if that's what you call them? e.g. Corel, Freehand..) never do what I want them to do?

    Because they are written by computer programmers who, by all accounts, spend very little time in the same physical reality as the rest of us.

    I think drama is more effective when it comes to religion...something about appealing to human guilt!!

    Why whenever you choose the shortest line in the supermarket, THAT is probably the slowest???? (talk about a Murphy's Law, right???)

    The suffix "ist" means "of, relating to, or characteristic of " - so, technically, the word "feminist" means "of, relating to, or characteristic of females." Nothing in there about "equal rights." People who claim feminist identity may be very concerned about female rights, but the name is not synonymous with equal rights. (Hence my quibbling over on the "feminism dismantling patriarchism" thread...)

    I suppose you mean you encounter bugs? I'm not sure what bugs you can have in a graphics program. Well, programming a program and than debugging it takes a lot of time and usually companies don't have the time so they force programmers to program faster and then you end up with a program which needs 15 more patches for it to work properly...

The blunt boredom rises from the gorge of her insufferable lips and floats like the tiniest feather of a long dead bird until it lands, naked and tired memory next to your fleshy feet. But she is gone now, away, away, like all the others, away, away! Only I, poet man, has chosen to stay. And I welcome you, travelers, to the memory catacombs of the Brunnen-G!" (c) Poet Man
