I do realize that back in the day women were viewed as less than men. I understand that that wasn't entirely fair. But I don't understand how in this day and age, that can be used as an argument. "Women should have more rights than men because of how our great-great-great-great-grandmothers were treated." Get over it. Women nowadays, at least in Canada, have amazing opportunities. We can wear whatever we want, get any job or education we want, etc. Sure there are men around who discriminate against women, but there are also women around who discriminate against men.
What are feminists anyways? They're some sort of hybrid species...a cross between a guy and a girl. Sure they look female, but their aggressive, masculine attitudes indicate differently. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that girls should be submissive, quiet, and unobstrusive. I just think that a healthy balance is required. And I don't believe that feminists have that.
I feel sorry for guys out there. They try and be nice by opening the door for a woman, and they get shunned for being 'old-fashioned' and for 'treating women differently'. Yet if they don't open the door they are seen as being jerks who don't know how to treat a woman right. Where is the common sense in that?!
I understand that I am a bit old fashioned in my views. I don't see anything wrong with that. I believe that there is a difference in the roles that God intended men and women to play. I believe that God intended men to be the leaders, and women to be their support. I don't mean that women should be bathmats to the men in their lives. Women should still have a backbone. Scripture says that men and women are both equal in God's sight, but if they both try and be the leader then no one wins. God made women to be the supporters, He called them to serve their husbands in everything they do. I think one of the reasons that relationships are so confused nowadays is because of this. Women have shunned their God given duties and attributes.
I bet if you went to a college or university and anonymously surveyed women there you would find that many women have the dream of marrying and having a family. Yet the world shuns this dream. Women who want to settle down into a marraige and children are viewed as old fashioned and not goal oriented. Women are urged to get out, get an education, and join the working force. Women are told they should be independant. "We don't need a man to make us complete." I believe that this is wrong. Sure, we don't need men to complete us, but by choosing to believe that men are not needed in a women's life, we are in fact turning men away from the path God has chosen for them to take.
Just as the world has turned women into dominant and controlling figures, it has also turned men into submissive figures. Men don't have to do anything in order to get women anymore. They just fall into their laps. Men have let go of their God-given inclinations to become doormats. They don't fight for anything anymore. They have been beaten down by our feministic culture, criticized for being too masculine, too protective, too manly. Men are being made to be 'nice'. I can tell you one thing, I don't want a 'nice' man. I want a man who will fight for me, a man who is masculine and has accepted and is working towards the the man that God wants him to be.
What the world needs are men who are willing to work hard in order to obtain things. It needs women who are willing to stand behind the man in their life and support them through everything they do. It needs men who will pursue the woman in their life with all their heart and soul. It needs women who will sit back and wait to be pursued rather than impulsively taking the reins in a relationship.
What the world really needs are men and women who will choose to follow the roles that God has set for them in everything they do.

Well look at you go. I will second that. I remember being about 9 yrs old when i first heard the term Ms. I have never beeen able to use it, believing it to be an irritating noise, not a proper preface to a name. The bearer of the first Ms I knew was a shrill uptight feminist I had for a teacher. Perhaps it was just first impressions, but my opinion has never been swayed by one yet.
I love feminists...they're hot chicks!
