The last two waves of feminism are rushing back out to sea, and the high-water mark of the first one is in danger. As we become more conservative, ......
Did you write your comments up in a word document, proof read them, copy, and then paste. Damn! Or..did you already have this written up ready to paste into every forum that seemed semi-concerned.
I dont know. I dont know much about you at all honestly. But I can say that women that I know are treated with respect, and love. Thats a big difference between men and boys. Boys fear cooties, and treating woman with respect. They dont want their friends seeing them being nice to a girl, cause they might get picked on. Men know that woman should be respected and protected. Some boys never grow up, and some women like to be treated like crap. Its a fact of life.
I'll tell you what I think the problem is. I have no proof, or quotes, its just what I think. I think that peoples perceptions are influenced alot by their peers. I once read that children that grow up "on tour" are in the 98%th percentile for intelligence up until about the age of 13. It might be true, it might not. But it seemed to me that being around adults constantly forces them to grow up faster, teaches them to speak better, and they learn alot of stuff from adults just by being around them all the time. At about age13 they start to regress, and soon fall behind. So...if you put children in a school where they are surrounded by people their own age, with little supervision, they dont learn as fast as they can. In kindergarten, their peers are 4yr olds; thats who they are learning from, not the teachers. There are not enough adults teaching children very important life lessons. Not enough teachers in the schools. And not enough Parents questioning the school system. When kids graduate high-school they are still children, and most of them are incapable of surviving on their own. Humans should be more capable by the age of 18. I'm just rambling I guess, but I want to say to Knowledge Bot, that I'm glad you stood up for what you believe in and explained yourself. Too often children are dismissed and treated like children, when they should be educated and treated like adults. They are our future. Whether these girls agree with you or not, your words will always ring in their ears, because you're right.
I wouldn't be surprised if one of them looks you up years from now to let you know that you taught them a real lesson; maybe the most imporant thing they'll learn after 4yrs of highschool: Self respect.
