Feminist/ militantly political girls

Way to totally understand Olivia's point, and the whole issue.
There is no equivelent word for males because the same behaviour that is considered unacceptable and "slutty" in women is considered acceptable and even desirable in men. That is the double standard, and it is both ridiculous and horribly unfair.

Why is it harder for men to 'get laid' as you term it? You are basing this on the outdated and stereotypical assumption that women do not enjoy sex as much as men.

Is that the best you could find?

Firstly, it refers to domestic slavery, not political slavery. It was also written in 2001, it's not recent. And it's also in Europe, not the USA (which is what we were talking about: the abolitionist cause).

Mate, you're missing the point. They want something to whinge about, they're militant feminists. It doesn't matter whether they're right or wrong, they see injustice against women everywhere.

Those terms are not as degrading.

Blokes get called ****s too you know. You're making a fuss over nothing. You are aware that my comment about blokes getting called cocks was taking the piss don't you?

I lol'd, so do you think it should be ok for women and men to go around sleeping with loads of different people (equally acceptable for both men and women), or do you think that people should stick to one partner?

From where I am standing being treated as a posession and forced to work for no money is the textbook definition of Slavery. 2001 is recent, do you honestly believe that since then the problem has dissapeared? Britain/Europe are representative of western society and the same thing happens in the US There are plenty of sources available, if you want more information do your own research. I'm not wasting my time googling for you, especially when my computer is running ridiculously slowly. You are arguing about technicalities when I have provided you with information that makes it incredibly clear that slavery is still alive and well.

Well, obviously I do, but **** is an obscene term for the vulva, isn't it? Girls can get called cocks, as well, but it is somewhat of a male word - generally meaning penis. Come on, use your own logic. Yes - I was aware of it, but I was trying to make a point.

It's not a fuss over nothing, not at all, language is a massively important influence on how we speak and how we act, as well as being a mirror of our society. If our language has a bias against women, which it does, then that says something about our society, and is a worrying potential influence.

No, I'm basing it on what actually happens. If a man asked every woman in a club if they wanted sex, the majority would say no. If a woman asked every man in a club if they wanted sex, the amount of men saying yes would be much higher.

Skirts have a worrying bias towards women against men, and skirts are a big business. Worrying for our society.

What? There was a point I missed?

I would like to believe that everyone on this forum was a feminist based on the fundamental belief that women should be equal to men, which is the definition of a feminist. Those 'militant feminists' that you are referring to are embarrassing and it could be argued that they aren't even real feminists as a lot of them seem to want 'special rights' for women over men. What has this got to do with my post again?

don't reply if you're just going to be facetious.

Slavery, in the sense of what the abolitionists of the USA in the late 19th Cenutry, is not still alive. That's what I was talking about, I talked about a very specific national movement, you talked about in very general terms because you don't know what you're talking about. And if you're comparing slavery to the position of females then you're rather dense.

Don't reply if you're just going to talk faeces
