Women turning into Men?

[Speewha]

Hello,

Did I not read a year or so ago that the Y chromosome is disappearing ?

If it is true there will be no males.

An androgynous future perhaps ?

Could explain some of scarf wearing types referred to in a previous post on this thread.

Regards

Have some decent hair, put a bit of make-up on, show some poise and speak with manners, that's all I ask.

I think it's more the fact woman have become lazy these days. Don't take care of their figure, don't care about acting like a woman and speaking gracefully. They can have all the career they want and do no housework or cook, wouldn't bother me. As long as I still look at them and speak to them and see a woman.

Not, fukc that was a fukcing wan*er bloke wasn't it mate? Let's go get some freekin food, I'm bloody hungry.

With modern technology people don`t have to do as much physically anymore.Computers will produce a generation of overweight people IF they don`t get out and do physical exercise daily.The battle to stay physically fit is obviously lost with many Aussies.

Why, because people can still live a comfortable life being overweight and lazy ... in Australia.

Sure we will fit it in as soon as we have finished working full time, then collecting the kids from daycare, get home, do the washing and cooking, get the kids into bed. If we have not dropped from exhaustion perhaps then there is time for exercise, doing the hair and makeup to make the male species happy.

Perhaps it is societies pressures that are changing women, maybe it is a time factor. We suffer the same pressures as men (and I think it's actually more), but if we respond in the same way (ie. road rage) then we are no longer feminine.

Sorry guys you can't blame the women.

Are these choices of lifestyle people make?Do men place pressure on women to have kids AND work fulltime?

Or perhaps it's just pressures women didn't realise men had?

In defence of men (self-deluding themselves) that they are the assertive member of the team ...

I'm guessing I'm not the only one who can identify with this bloke.

Oh, what's wrong with you, SM Junkie! You can do all the above, plus knock off a couple of degrees, look beautiful all the time, be adoring and compliant, can't you?? Gotta keep those blokes happy, now.

SM, Julia, look the other way, there are those that are "spongeworthy" trully, surely,...let us find another link elsewhere

Just where i was going to take this discussion when i saw it. The problem isnt women turning into men, its vice versa

Guys wearing pink, wearing makeup, moisturising, using product, wearing f**king scarves, drinking lattes, eating ceasar salads, driving hyundai excels, crying during movies, carrying 'manbags', getting manicures, owning 15 pairs of shoes, wearing cologne that smells like perfume and so on and so on..... WTF?!?!

Enough to make me sick, now excuse me while i go shave my back and scratch my balls

Hey I love eating ceasar salads, since when was the mighty ceasar saldad a girly thing?

But I will agree with you on some of the other things. Hyundai excels are truely a shame to have to drive. Manicures are ridiculous and I am yet to see the "manbag".


In regards to the rest of the convo, I would not be afraid of a career woman, just as long as she was nice and wasn't arrogant. For some weird reason, girls being girly is super hot. Just as long as they don't act stupid and a conversation about something meaningful can be held.

In fact, I have pretty much described my dream woman, if anyone knows her (and she is in her early twenties), put her onto me.

HAHA i was hoping for a bite on this sooner or later!

Sorry disappoint you Naked sorts, but theres a saying that "salad is for rabbits and gays" LOL. All us beer swilling, ar*e scratching, pot bellied, foul mouthed, politically incorrect, homophobes know that meat is the only source of nourishment suitable for men.

FYI take a trip down to the dingy city of Melbourne and you will see, and i use this term loosely, "men" carrying around these leather things that look suspiciously like handbags

Dave Chappelle's What Men Want.
Chivalry is dead and women killed it..
I know his brand of comedy is not for everyone, but the spoof on the end of this clip of Mel Gibson's What Women Want was hilarious.

Feminism is dedicated to the destruction of family

Oh, what's wrong with you, SM Junkie! You can do all the above, plus knock off a couple of degrees, look beautiful all the time, be adoring and compliant, can't you?? Gotta keep those blokes happy, now.

what is wrong with you chicks? i don't recall demanding anything like this from any women. maybe women should just loosen up and stop listening to the media who keeps telling them to "have it all", and instead find their own road to happiness. if that involves being a ball breaking senior manager or a stay at home housewife i think you'll find most men are happy for you to be happy. turn the vitriol away from the menfolk who mostly do love and respect you, and turn it towards the media, the feminists, the academics and the rabble rousers who want to see gender tension and unstable families.

 

[Julia]

Disarray, I was partly being facetious but also partly serious. Most women I know who want their own career also find themselves still taking most of the responsibility on the home front. Their partners are happy for the woman's career, sure, but only as long as they themselves are not too inconvenienced.

I guess it's pretty difficult for most women - and men - to find the right balance.

A couple of generations ago it was all hugely simpler, wasn't it. Women just stayed home, had babies, and looked after home and husband. I suspect a lot of today's high-achieving women would settle for that.

Well... why would they do anything on the home front? Especially considering they can't do anything right when they try anyway.

Men now have absolutely no role in society, because all you get taught from a very young age, everything that comes naturally to you as a male, is completely wrong. No wonder young males are so incredibly ****ed up.

OK, weighing in on this one

The problem is this; generally, it is women who are expected to shoulder a lot of the day to day stuff around the home - viz shopping for groceries, cooking, cleaning, collecting kids, overseeing the homework, preparing lunches etc etc. Now, you say that men are prepared for their 'womenfolk' to be stay at home mums, but seriously, with a thundering mortgage and increasing bills hanging over most households, really, how many men are truly happy about their wives doing that when the kidlets go off to school? Or even before. So maybe the woman gets a part time, to full time job. But the household chores are rarely split 50/50; and then there are comments like yours above "unstable families" implying that the way the woman responds to the issue of 'work/family' is the reason for that.

OK, gotta dash to work and will work until 7pm but it's ok coz the family's tea is in the fridge waiting to be reheated, and the dishwasher unpacked and the washing machine on.

like,... after a while you twig to how to get the kids to share the work around the house -
hide their dinner in the dishwasher for instance

Well, I used to hide all my chocolates in the vegetable keeper; that kept one of them from finding them for ages. Share the housework - I think the problem is that (most) women just can't handle the mess that would create until the laddies 'get it'! So they tidy up along the way. Unless of course, such mess involves losing one's footy boots, or car keys, in which case all hell lets loose until they realise they are lying under the unsorted piles of clothes, towels etc.

Are we becoming more like men? No, but we are becoming more assertive which some men may interpret as being more aggressive. When I have work appointments I have a black 'suit' and usually a bright coloured shirt and jewellery etc. I think it is curious though what some women, even the high powered type, think as being appropriate - like sleeveless shirts etc in summer with no jacket. If men did that, well, they couldnt get away with it. I figure if I am working in the business world then I dress as a business person, which is either dark pants/skirt and always with a formal jacket. I leave the tie at home though
