Poll On Danger To Society

[Mark of the Cross]

My Attention deficit has prevented me from reading all the posts so I don't know if this has been mentioned but I would have thought satan would be top of the list and its favourite tool is religion.

Okay, maybe 'just as much' is an exaggeration. I certainly think men have it better off in a patriarchal society than women in terms of things like income.

Examining female gender roles made me look more closely at the roles of men in society and it made me realise men are expected to behave in certain ways too, ways that are determined by society. Men are supposed to be tough and stoic - how often do you see men cry in movies now, let alone old ones? But we're humans too, we have feelings and we can get hurt. Imagine the emotional damage that's caused when boys and men are expected to bottle it all up. So despite the name, I think feminism has a lot to say about and for men.

I didn't put that as an option because I knew everyone would choose it and I wanted the poll to be effective. lol! But great point!

agreed. I know this may offend Catholic sensibilities but I believe we're all human before we're anything else (even regarding our sex/gender). There are differences, sure, but why is it that people have difficulty seeing sameness and appreciating the differences simultaneously? It seems to me there are times when the differences are important (specifically concerning marriage, sexuality, parentage) but most of the time I don't think they are. Well, maybe I shouldn't say that. Maybe I should say that most of the time we create difference when there doesn't need to be any . . .

I'm not making sense so just ignore me.

But I do generally agree wid ur post

2) The need to attach a "-gate" to any controversy, and a "-ism" to any belief or thought anyone ever has
