And the answer to that.

I especially like the fourth post down (woman in hat with pink sign).

Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

How would they be seen today? Decency, chivalry or sexist?

Depends. Would you have treated them differently if they were men? If not, its just decency.

Men = feminism? As to your question, no, have given lifts to numerous (many of which were students trying to save money - Oh, & they had guts, you wouldn't see me hitchhiking in terrible weather).

No my point was more that something becomes sexist when you treat women differently from men BECAUSE they are women. So say you only give rides to hitchhiking women because they are women there might be an element of sexism at play there.

In other words, you saw no mention of giving lifts to males so assumed that only women were picked up - sexist assumptions at work?

Ask any hitchhiker and they'll tell you that women are more likely to get rides than men. If only because women are more likely to pick up female passengers than male passengers (for obvious safety reasons)

Feminism is all good & well, but personally, I think they go too far. Just wondering what they would have said to me after 2 "incidents" several years ago.

I was travelling home after a busy day of 34 drops in London & stopped off at the Black Cat service station to refuel. As I was leaving, I spotted a woman walking out of the service area & attempting to hitch hike. Stopped in the layby, she told me where she wanted to go.

While chatting in the cab, I was gobsmacked, she lived in Orton Wistow, which at that time, was only minutes away from where I lived in Orton Brimbles. She was getting divorced & her husband in a fit of rage threw her out of his car at the Black Cat.

Several months earlier to that, was travelling to London to see family & another woman was hitchhiking. Gave her a lift & got told she lived in Manor House - family lived in Stamford Hill(both areas in North London, literally minutes away from each other).

How would they be seen today? Decency, chivalry or sexist?

I literally have no idea what this post has to do with feminism, unless its because you are outraged that a husband threw his wife out of the car in the middle of nowhere.

And the answer to that.

yeah..another group of people that don't actually understand what feminism is.

On one hand I suppose it is a mark of the success of feminism that these women are so oblivious of how much feminism has given them that they think they don't need it.

(also I notice that page is full of fake articles about the terrible things feminists have done. e.g. that story about the woman aborting a boy child)

The answer lays in the final comment.

Have actually been told "I can open the door for myself, thank you very much". Loaded down with shopping & a pram carrying a child...

...Was that courtesy or sexist?

I am always grateful for anyone who will hold a door for me as I will hold a door open for anyone who needs it, male or female.

The only time it has been strange was when in the US where I held the door for an elderly veteran and he started shouting about it.

I still haven't figured out if he was pleased or insulted, but it was obviously an unusual experience for him. That could be because in America people seem less likely to hold the door open for anyone at all compared to Canada or the UK.

Fair enough. I think the problem mainly is the lack of manners & courtesy & that has nothing to do with the war of the sexes.

If one is being courteous to a woman, one does not expect to receive a tirade in return...

...also, this is not anything new, it's being happening for years, even before Germaine Greer got in on the act.

No, I didnt say you were sexist, you asked if you were sexist.

Making assumptions again. The question was:

How would those "actions" be seen today?"

It wasn't about me.

Yes, let's have more "rule of law"

I would have hoped that paternity rights end the moment you slash the throat of the mother of your children <_<

No they don't. The might end if you actually killed the mother of your children and you were convicted of the offense.

Frankly I hope some lawyer convinces another judge to issue an order baring the jail from letting him see the letters under security or psychiatric care restrictions. And I hope another lawyer is able to actually terminate his parental rights.

Dumb logic. Why should it end only after you succeed in murdering the mother of your children, but not when you attempted it but failed.

It made no mention of what she had to write in said letters.

Dear Jason
I wish you dead!

I agree that it makes no sense as it has been presented in the Mirror, i can only assume there is more to the story, or that some details have been twisted to make for a more lurid headline.

Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

I am in two minds about this. Yes, on the one hand it will maybe prevent some unwanted under age pregnancies. But on the other hand it will encourage inquisitive 13 year olds to experiment with sex even more than they naturally do anyway. The level of Chlamydia and other STD's in the UK is worryingly rising.

It should not be left up to the schools or the NHS to provide sex education or protection, that should be down to responsible parents. But as 90% of parents in this country seem not to be fit to breed, the State has to bumble about trying to do the best it can.

I would advocate putting something in the public water supply, at least around here, to render all people sterile, then apply for an antidote and a licence to have kids. That would save quite a few million in current plans to build new schools. But of course meanwhile local jewellers are going out of business because nobody is getting married any more, and not buying rings, but the buggy makers are doing rather well.

Not helping

‘It’s worrying that the adults in charge of health authorities don’t seem to realise it’s against the law for children to have underage sex,’ said Simon Calvert of the Christian Institute. ‘Rather than helping them to have underage sex they need to be focusing on protecting them from it. Let kids be kids.’

He seems to have forgotten Mary was twelve when she was betrothed to Joseph. Christians live very much in a glass house on this issue.

I believe that you are about right. Certainly she was in her late teens when Joseph, a much older man got her pregnant. In a small town like Nazareth at the time, that sort of thing was not acceptable. They had to leave town because of the shame, so it was rather useful that he had to report back to Jerusalem for the census at the time. After the birth in Jerusalem they did get married and returned to Nazareth some years later as man and wife.

And two millennia later, one couple's illicit bonk has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry.

Two things we know for certain about Jesus Christ.
1. He wasn't called Jesus
2. He wasn't called Christ

1. Through translation and transliteration through several languages, the original name Joshua became Yehoshua which became Yeshua which became Iesous which became Iesus which became Jesus.

2. Christ is derived from the Greek Christos, which is translated from the Hebrew Meshiakh, meaning 'the anointed one', also transliterated in English as Messiah.

Edit: This is starting to get off topic
