Nah, it's a pixie cut.


I applaud women who go with the pixie cut, if you pull it off it looks phenomenal


I rather like it. It's not absurdly short, still over my ears, but I really adore it.

Shocked . There's a blog that I've just discovered which is ... I can't reiterate what I've been thinking. I sincerely hope this woman is either merely trolling, or it's a sarcastic thing where she doesn't truly believe this, but is holding a mirror up to misogyny, misandry and sexism. But if not, she is ****** insane.

Quote:
"It is my belief (which I consider factual based on my research) that all men SHOULD be castrated. Not only for their own safety, but for the safety of all innocent women and children.

And, to achieve this...

The entire world should have an international holiday known as: "Castration Day"

Males of all ages will be brought to the public squares of their cities nude, to stand together in a circle, as they await castration by a woman known as "The Castrator", who will be a woman chosen from the public much like a juror.

Girls of all ages will attend, lining the streets to cheer and applaud the males as they join the rest of civilized society."


Quote:
"The males will then have one hour to get to know their Castrator. Their female "spouse" will also be able to choose whether or not they would like to milk the male in order to retain a sperm sample.

If the male is too young for a "spouse", their mother or closest female relative will decide."

There's a line between feminism and femi-nazis. This is clearly on one side and not the other. I'm all for equality and female empowerment but I like being a dude...and I like it willingly, without threat of castration. I can't tell if this is a troll or not because sadly there are women out there like this, just as there are men out there who think women should just be sex/baby machines that cook and clean as well. Its all wrong.

I think I'm in a somewhat unique position on the issue of feminism. I think that males and females are definitely different, and that women have a duty to raise their children, but I'm the furthest thing from a male supremacist. If I am "sexist" (which is possible), it is in women's favour. Females seem more virtuous and kind, and males get on my nerves way more often than females. I think feminists are misguided, because ultimately it seems like they hate femininity. They say that women should be more like men. "Raising children? That's not good enough!" I remember when the movie Bridesmaids came out and I read an interview with one of the actresses who was saying how liberating the movie was for women because now we can get drunk, use the c-word, and fart (just like men!). I remember thinking "Oh, great. Now both genders can act like idiots. Just brilliant." Rolling Eyes

I don't know if you were implying otherwise, but men have a duty to raise their children too. Kids benefit from having a mother and a father.

It depends on how you define femininity - is it inherent or cultural or learned behavior? Feminists want women to have the same rights and opportunities as men, such as equal pay. Feminism isn't anti-men, but putting men and women on equal footing.

As a girl, I would want to have the choice to be a housewife and/or career women. I don't think women should be confined to the household. If another girl wants to be a housewife, that's cool with me. At least she had the choice.

I bought a Commodore 64 and 80 games (C64 games included with the C64, not just 80 Xbox games) off eBay and it's a pick up, and the guy wants me to pay in person. I told nuh-uh and I await reply.

@Dance: I think it makes sense that women should be able to pursue careers if they want to, but I really dislike the extreme branches of feminism that put down stay-at-home moms. When did careers become so glamorous and raising children so worthless? I just feel that if a couple wants to have kids they shouldn't both pursue careers. Having kids means making sacrifices and devoting time to raise them. Some parents are just really selfish. The person staying away from work doesn't have to be the woman, but often they're better at it.

I disagree. For starters I don't know anyone that can afford to live off a single income. Secondly you can have it all - career and family. My wife and I support each other so we can be their for our son and still focus our full attention on our careers.

I can work a full time job and still spend time raising my son. Sure I have made sacrifices, and I believe you get more out of what you put in to your family. However its critical that you make time for yourself and for your spouse - otherwise you end up resenting your family and grow apart. Having a child does not mean putting your life on hold.

A generation ago father's were not in the delivery room, the expectation now is different. I stayed at home for a period of time with my son, and while my wife and I worked opposite schedules I ran the household on weekends, took the boy on outings, planned the meals and cooked etc. The idea that a man cannot do as good a job as a woman is really outdated and wrong. All of my friends who are fathers are fully committed to raising their families.

Obviously, there are many, many people who need two incomes in order to get by, but on the flip side, the majority of families I know can and do make it on just one, mine included. My mother stayed home with me when I was a child and while we were never well to do financially, we certainly managed. I'm currently working on getting my bachelor's degree, but should I have a family, I plan to stay home with my children if at all possible, maybe returning to work at a later time. I think it really is about what each family wants and what works best for them.

Well put! I was trying to make the point - stay at home, work, there is no right answer - as long as you love your family you can make it work. You're not going to cost your family anything by choosing work over staying at home. I know there are people that can and do live off a single income, but for all my friends both work or one stays at home for the first year or so and plans to return. It's not easy.

I'm reading a child psychology book right now, so I'm probably sensitive. Wink

I'm not saying kids will be scarred for life or anything, but I think it is better for kids to have the extra attention and upbringing by someone who loves them.
