Yes, very wonderful. Right now, we're learning about Athens, Ancient Greece. So sexist! Women were "imperfect beings that lack the ability to reason as well as men". Can you believe it? We are imperfect? We are "THAT"'s??

You just called yourself an imperfect being that lacks the ability to reason as well as men.
And most ancient civilizations were that way. Even in today's soceity leiniancies go towards men. Suffrage was suppposed to give women more rights, but we still haven't had a female president yet.

Yeah.... well, at least Sparta is better about Women's rights than Athens. XD
And no, I am not calling myself a 'that', or an 'imperfect being'; I'm just getting all mad about a stupid sexist quote that some ancient Greek philosopher said about us women. XDD (Sorry for double post.)

Perhaps the individual women who ran for president were not as competent as the other candidates?  Making them president just because they're female to make an equality statement hardly sounds fair.
It's like that argument that 80% of the senate is male, perhaps it's just because the individuals competent enough to be elected just happened to be male.
And no, I'm not trying to be sexist, I'm just trying to make a point.

A girl in my class had an Abercrombie sweatshirt, and it cost-wait for it-$150. Can you believe it?

how is that even possible


anyways yeah sexism sucks


do you notice it's usually girls being judged?

just saying my opinion guys

And we're usually judged on if you're different. A lot of girls in my grade look exactly the same, and they used to gossip about me on how tall I was and how I didn't wear what they wore and stuff. A friend of mine who hung out with those girls tried to persuade me to wear abercrombie stuff, and I couldn't believe it. She knows I hate that brand.

my friend says i should start wearing make-up

what

no.



but anyways yeah at my school 3/4 of the girls are anorexic, blonde, play soccer, are taller that me, and wear Farmington tigers sweatshirts or Hollister tops

Re: wow that's fair

There is no one sexist in my school, because everyone is getting to that stage when you start liking someone.

Yet, I feel bad for the people who do have sexism, but come on. The sexist people are usually dorks who don't know what soap is.  wink

I mean I don't know about you guys but how many times have you been judged for your gender? i know guys think they're stronger because....they're guys.


AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH


but really this is stupid. why does it matter what gender you are

"oh he's a boy you can't be friends with him unless you have a crush on him"
"ugh i have to work with a boy ewww"
"pfft what a girl on our team? god we're gonna suck now"


i mean, physical, mental and emotional differences don't have much to do with whether you're male or female really.

I like snakes, fighting, and baseball does that make me any less "girl?" no


this is just a rant but feel free to add your opinions and experiences it's not north korea or anything (except for maybe joelisawesome)

Agreed. Last year when I played kickball, whenever a girl kicked, all of the boys on the other team yelled out AUDIBLY: "Easy out. Move in a little more."
I hate it when people say I can't do something because I am a girl. I also hate it when people make jokes about how tall I am. It was funny the last million times you said, "Oh, Musicstar888 (I'm not using my real name) you're so tall! Like a giant, really."
I like snakes too. People make fun of me a lot because I don't wear all the girly name-brand t-shirts everyone wears. Honestly, I couldn't care less.  tongue

At our school, the hottest people are the tallest ones  wink

XD I like a boy and he's SUPER tall and he has a freakishly low voice. on topic: sexism sucks. (Sorry if the word sucks isn't appropriate....)
