We know that men generally tend to be more rigid and inflexible, more hostile to change than women, particularly when it comes to their own gender identity being changed by external factors.
Look don't misinterpret me, I want freedom of choice for roles, and I prefer people to do what comes naturally to them, and in the end just being themselves.
Now what I'm saying is there's a difference between allowing choice of gender roles, than promoting particular gender roles (i.e. the sensitive man, the metrosexual), what if they are good for SOME men, but not for all. It seems that through feminist thought, a sort of chinease whispers has occurred, where feminists are promoting and encouraging more feminine roles for men, rather giving men choice. And aggressively promoting these thee OVER traditional roles, that have lasted for thousands of years until now. In other words, no feminist out there is going to tell me to act more feminine or sensitive, I'm going to be myself. Something this generation of men and the next, need to learn how to do. And always question authority. Always question politically science and literature.
Do you agree that some feminists have mistaken freedom of gender roles, instead for brainwashing people out of traditional gender roles into roles decided by feminists?Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
Feminists have done nothing but given men choice. We encourage men to be reasonably sensitive and respectful of women, but not feminine or soft. That's a reasonable request, don't you think? Beyond that, we simply don't care.Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
It depends on the women in your life. If you are a traditional man and get a powerfull liberated woman, that is troubel.Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
I can see why guys like gender roles and women don't, its because the 'gender roles' doesnt conflict with 'masculinity', but only if you are a man. the problem with 'masculinity' is that it portrays a positive aspect about a person, but only a man can identify with these positive aspects.
If you are a woman you can't be masculine and strong, because that is only a trait of a guy. and if you are a man it is shameful to be anything like a girl, because girls arent masculine. so its good for guys, but it makes girls feel ashamed and confused. that's what i see as far as all this gender stuff goes.
I think we should instead all play %26quot;roles%26quot; based on our personality instead of %26quot;gender roles%26quot; based on the sex we were born.Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
Gender roles does not construct my identity. I'm a woman no matter if I work, if I wear pants and I don't want to have a children. So I have perfectly defined my identity and gender roles are not a must for afirmation of identity...Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
No, I don't think that's the case at all.
Most feminists are too tired to promote your role for you.
As far as I'm concerned, just be respectful.Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
I want men to be themselves, I like men as people...a lot of feminists want the man to play a role..I pity these men teamed up with this sort of woman...it is the reverse of telling a woman to stay barefoot, pregnant and chained to the stove...Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
yes, some feminist feel that traditional family structure and male roles threaten their freedom and as such don't consider them valid life choices for menWere men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
Yes. Men today are WEAK and LOVE TO COMPROMISE to the point that it's utterly sickening.
I am traditional in my views of male/female relationships. Guys today LOOOOOOOOVE to %26quot;wash the dishes and clothes.%26quot;
A woman feeling %26quot;uncomfortable%26quot; or %26quot;oppressed%26quot; when she's cleaning house, taking care of the children, taking care of hubby, etc., sounds as ridiculous as a man feeling %26quot;uncomfortable%26quot; or %26quot;oppressed%26quot; about working a full time job and occasional overtime to provide for his family.
No offense Robert G, but %26quot;threaten their freedom%26quot; to do what? As far as I'm concerned a REAL woman is concerned with anything that threatens HER CAPACITY/%26quot;FREEDOM%26quot; TO BE A GOOD MOTHER AND WIFE.Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
My husband just called and weirdly and strangely - this is so bizarre this issue has come up due to a situation that he messed up on which he didn't deny - life/living responsibility. However, sometimes words don't match actions. I know guys do not enjoy this either, messing up. If I say I'm going to do something I do it unless extreme circumstances pop up out of the blue and even so I check to see if it was my fault or caused by something else that is out of my control. I also don't like messing up but sway more towards problem-solving then brooding about it.
After honesty and sharing reflection, he said no, %26quot;women are surely not weak%26quot;, and I said %26quot;interesting...just irony that's all that you would say that%26quot; due to the fact of what this topic is about I am on today. I told him there is a lot notation about %26quot;weak%26quot; on here. He said %26quot;tell them women are not weak%26quot; and no, I'm not bragging or making it up, that is what my hubby suggested I to do. Don't you think that reflection to personal motivation is a sign of strength for both men and women?Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
I belive each man and woman is equal and should account for each others needs. If it means being more sensitive or more Macho. But either way it should be 50-50. I wash clothes and put them away, cook dinner,Work, Take of baby. My husband washes the dishes, sweeps and mops,works,and cuts grass. So we are equal this question is not any of my concerns.Were men more happy when gender roles and identity was more clearly defined? Are men today lost?
I like it that I'm not expected to take care of my husband. That's because he is an able bodied individual who is perfectly capable of taking care of himself. He is not a helpless invalid who needs someone to feed him, dress him, bathe him, and pick up after him. He's not totally lost and helpless when I'm not around. He can clean house, cook meals, and care for our daughters. In fact, one time when I was taking evening classes, I didn't have to worry if the girls would be fed and have clean diapers. That was because not only were they fed, but also bathed and changed, and put to bed. He did all those things himself instead of putting them off and waiting for me to get home and do them. I don't understand why some men feel it's an affront to their masculinity when they do household chores. Those children are theirs, too, and need to be cared for.

How come a lot of girls don't play pokemon?
i see mostly guys playing. personally i love this game and i'm a girl.
also how come you can't change ur identity to ranger when ur a girl? its only lass, lady, beauty, socialite. rangers are much better looking xDHow come a lot of girls don%26039;t play pokemon?
I know a few girls that play pokemon, including me. and i agree rangers do look a lot better.
Personally i think it's just a stereotype that video games in general are for guys. I think that most girls just follow the trend of being a %26quot;girly-girl.%26quot; I play video games almost 24/7, and it's not just pokemon.How come a lot of girls don%26039;t play pokemon?
i know... i LOVE pokemon!!!How come a lot of girls don%26039;t play pokemon?
cuz they think it is nerdy,only litle kids play it that are girls,when they get older they feel like doin other things and dont realy play vid games,well most of the average girls do.... and most of the time in pokemon on the gts i see most girls ofering shiny's a lot.and when u want other identities i wanna be a blackbelt in the game not some stupid cooltrainer,lol what do u want besides lass,lady,beuty and the others theres also waitress,they should maje a hooker and a striper identity also ^.^How come a lot of girls don%26039;t play pokemon?
Well to answer your first question: The reason most girls don't play pokemon is because they don't enjoy the point of it or haven't ever tried it yet. In my area many people watch and play pokemon. Another reason is that well they don't like the anime series. (Which is kinda creepy if you watched the banned episodes.)
To answer question number two:
Sorry you can't, unless you buy action replay or game shark, which could and will destroy your gameboy or DS. Also the action replay part you would have to find a script for the ranger, or make one; upload it into action replay; the use it, and that may crash your system if you didn't type the script right.How come a lot of girls don%26039;t play pokemon?
Well, mature girls dont play it. They are out dating the guys who dont play it, and that like transformers.

Discuss how the French national identity has evolved since 1945.?
Can someone please offer me some suggestions about what I can write for this essay please?
I'm thinking about briefly comparing the ancien regime to present day france (focus on women), then a bit about may 68 and how that changed France. I'm finding it hard since I don't know what to write about 'national identity' and 'change'....can someone offer a few suggestions?
I always thought that France value and represent L E F, so how has that changed?
I'm also trying to look at Art and Social attitude (in form of racism and sexism) and the change of that as national identitiy from 1945.
I'm trying to make it different and 'interesting'Discuss how the French national identity has evolved since 1945.?
Its a very interesting subject. I'm just going to write out some of my thoughts and hope that they are not so incoherent as to make your task more difficult.
It seems to be that the French have been struggling to find a self image and wrestiling with a wide variety of concerns since 1945.
To begin with there is the French problem with accepting the events of the World War. The defeat of France in a mere six weeks, the fact that many units broke and ran, the readiness with which many accepted defeat, the rise of the collaborationist Vichy regime and the fact that many Frenchmen happily cooperated with the German Nazis in hunting down and rounding up Jews for the slaughter weigh heavily on the national consciusness.
After the Liberation DeGaulle made it his policy to propagate the myth of a heroic and widespread resistance. In the French Army Museum in Paris, the surrender to the Nazis is characterized as %26quot;France changes her tactics.%26quot; Of course this myth is just that, a myth. Very few people were in the Resistance and most of them were, in fact, communists (another fact that DeGaulle attempted to conceal).
Then there was the fact of the the loss of Indochina and, nuch worse, the loss of the North African colonies. Not only the loss itself but the realization that the attempt to hold these places had involved the French government in actions that made today's scandalous actions at Abu Ghraib look like mere school boy pranks. The French government authorized the use of the most bestial tortures known to man. France had prided itself on being a liberal and humame society. Suddenly that notion was challenged by the facts.
More recently, the influx of non-white immigrants from Africa has further challenged the French belief that they are a tolerant society free of racial bias. Studies by INSEE have shown that non-whites face employment discrimination and a study done by the Security services themszelves revealed that polic often act in a racist manner.
Finally, France has fostered the beleif that there was a French way of dealing with work, business and modern life that was superior to that practices of Les Anglais. But chronic unemployment and the predicted collapse of the social welfare system have brought to the fore President Sarkozy who openly admires the American work ethic and lectures the French on the need to change their ways.
Hope that some of this will be useful to you.
Discuss how the French national identity has evolved since 1945.?
1945 and today's France is incomparable,to begin with,most of the french people cannot understand the life in 1945,i'm born myself in 1948 and i'm completely unaware of the life during the occupation for example,or the life of people in the 40's because i was to young to appreciate it,yet today most people are younger than me in France.I thing that life is different because there is more influence from the outside,meaning that Muslim leaving in France keep their traditions ,instead of adopting the french one.I was born in France and 3 of my good friends were from Italian,greek,and Holland background ,yet in many ways they were more french than me,they had all the bad and good habits of the french peoples.I was thinking about it,and i realize that 's because they were coming from a christian's country,and their integration was much more easier than a muslim living in France.So the music scene,even the food,%26quot;coucous a Moroccan 's dish %26quot;is found all over in France.my time was the 60's,i was 20 years old in mai 68,but today,just like in the United States,it is part of the past really.People are different today,they also have less time for lunch,and in paris people are on the go ,rushing all the time.The quality of life have decrease in my view ,eating well at a good price was a smart thing for example ,today there is a lot of fast food at not a better price than eating a full meal ,and peoples have less time to eat in family as well.I think that in the 60's we had hope for tomorow,today peoples have lost hope in the systems that was protecting them,and is protecting them less and less as years go by.Politically %26quot;la droite%26quot; wants to be the party of the future , of reforms ,of more equal social justice ,but not all peoples are buying it, and people don't seem to want to make efforts in that direction.The left have giving them lot of benefits and that's all they want to hear about,France is not an easy country to govern .Accepting the defeat of ww 2 was not a problem in my view for peoples born after the war,we just did not discuss it really,it was our parents problems not ours.Same thing about the loss of our colonies ,it never was a drama among my friends and i,we were interested in the Hippies ,Beatles mania.Talkin about the collaspe of the social welfare is a joke,peoples have 5 weeks paid per year,the cost for socail coverage is ridiculous in comparing to the U.S for example.People retire at 60 yeras old ,even before that.On top of their 5 weeks vacations people have also 5 holydays paid.They work 35 hours a week.Women have one year and a half leave for giving birth,plus garanteed their job when they comme back.For each kid your received money from the state,and part of your monthly renting will be paid too.And the list is longe than that..

For those of you that have read the color of water...?
what figural and literal explanations would you say the changes of names from Ruchel Dwajra Zylska to Rachel Deborah Shilsky to Ruth McBride Jordan represent for the author's mom? how would you say her identity changes with each name?For those of you that have read the color of water...?
I think that the first change is to make her more American, and more like her peers. I think that the second change was made to get away from her Jewish family because she had a terrible relationship with her father. While they did ostracize her for her choices, it gave her the freedom to be who she really wanted to be, rather than be forced into their figurative family box.
With these name changes, she is allowed to be her own person. She is allowed to marry a black man and have mixed children and, while it was tough for her and them, she made it, and her children all greatly respected her for it.

How many women haven't changed their name...?
when they got married? I didn't and i want to hear from other people who also choose not to and their reasons why.
my reason- I guess I'm just more of a feminist than I knew, becuase when it came down to it, Ididn't feel like I should have to change my identity just beause I am a woman.
Sisters?How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I kept the name my parents gave me. It was a personal choice, and my husband was comfortable with it. Our daughters share my husband's last name. When - and if - they choose to marry, they will each make the decision regarding their surname. I have known couples who choose to combine their surnames to creat a new, (sometimes) unique name for themselves - Carter and Johnson could become Carson.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
my wife changed her last nameHow many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
You don't change your identity. You merge it with your husband's.
I don't understand women who don't take their husband's last name.
My BIG question is....what is the last name of the children born into this marriage?How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
My sis did the same. I dont blame you.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I did EVERY time I have gotten married. Which means on legal forms I have quite a few names to list - LOL.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
My aunt didn't change her name. She didn't want to because she is a dentist in a big city and it would be too hard to change her sign, her ads in the paper, and business cards and stuff.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
don't worry most or all Arabic women don't change their namesHow many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
The national average of women keeping their last name in some form (such as hyphenation) has doubled in the last ten years from 10% to 20%. The average for women not taking thier husbands name at all, just getting married and keeping thier name exactly the same is 3%.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I changed my name because, honestly, I didn't like my last name. I also had the problem as a kid that my mom had a different last name, %26amp; I hated it. My aunt chose to hyphenate. Her daughters are 9 yrs. apart %26amp; from different marriages. One of her kids has both last names, the other has the first only. It keeps it more comfortable for the kids I think.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
Your IDENTITY and your NAME are two DISTINCTLY different things. If your identity is alla bout your name you are in serious trouble. If you feel you needed to keep your maiden name fine, but MOST women (the majority) do change theirs. Again, having your identity so closely wrapped up in your name is like having it wrapped up in your breasts. In other words, grow up and get a life!How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I never ever wanted to change my name. I always knew this and some people did not think that was normal or even liked that about me. lol. Oh well. That is my business. So, when I did get married I kept my name AND added his. Plus he added my name to his--legally. Nice trade I think.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I changed mine...your hubbys last name must be horrible? I am still the same person I was then, just have a different name. I dont feel I changed my identity!How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I know of someone who didn't change her last name when she married. I know of women who go by their maiden and married name. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you decide to keep your name, so be it.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
Here's what I did to keep it simple.
First name /middle name-maiden last name / New last name
Ex. Jane Ann Smith
Now Jane Ann-Smith Newlywed
I would sign my name Jane Newlywed but my maiden name is still a part of my name.
I did not want to lose my maiden name, I have no brothers to carry on our name and it made my Dad and me happy. Also, I was in my late 20's when I was married and I didn't want to change my whole identity.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
i live in the southern us, it's common here for the wifie to use her maiden name as her new middle name and then use her husbands name also. so janis sue doe marries bob smith and she become janie doe smith. i'm originally from the pacific northwest where it's not common to do that and chose to keep my middle name, that i share with my grandmother, instead. for still another choice, I went to high school with a guy who took his wifes name instead, which was sweet.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
You don't lose your identity by taking your husbands last name. A name doesnt identify you. Think about it..when you die, someone has to come identify you, your name isnt enough so really, what kind of identification is a name. When someone askes for ID, do you just give them your name? No...you show them something with a photo. Your personal characteristics identify you. I took my husbands last name becase it was important to him and to me that we be known as Mr.%26amp;Mrs. You arent a Mrs. now. And your children if you have any or plan to wont have the same last name as you. You can hyphanite theirs if you want to, but its still not the same. I want to be a family someday..the Taylor family. Not the Taylor family and me with some other last name. I think you'll regret it in the future, but thats your problem...not mine.
If you read it properly you stupid moron, I'm making a point that your name is not you identity because you said you didn't want to lose your identity and if your so set on keeping you last name then why even ask the stupid question? Who cares why other people keep their name? Maybe you regret your choice if you care so bloody much. Grow up or shut up!How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?

I'm a writer, so professionally I kept my last name. But legally I changed it.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I'm getting married in December and I can't wait to change my last name. I've waited a long time to do it. And I think it's also symbolizes a new beginning in your life with your husband, and all the beautiful things to come. But it's your choice and a personal decision if it was important to you to keep your name then think it's great you did! good for you for staying true to you.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
My best friend's sister just got married and kept her own last name.
I will take my husband's last name when I get married, not because I am being submissive and losing my own identity, but because I love him enough to do that for him. I'm kind of into traditional things too.delegates email
my reason- I guess I'm just more of a feminist than I knew, becuase when it came down to it, Ididn't feel like I should have to change my identity just beause I am a woman.

I kept the name my parents gave me. It was a personal choice, and my husband was comfortable with it. Our daughters share my husband's last name. When - and if - they choose to marry, they will each make the decision regarding their surname. I have known couples who choose to combine their surnames to creat a new, (sometimes) unique name for themselves - Carter and Johnson could become Carson.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
my wife changed her last nameHow many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
You don't change your identity. You merge it with your husband's.
I don't understand women who don't take their husband's last name.
My BIG question is....what is the last name of the children born into this marriage?How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
My sis did the same. I dont blame you.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I did EVERY time I have gotten married. Which means on legal forms I have quite a few names to list - LOL.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
My aunt didn't change her name. She didn't want to because she is a dentist in a big city and it would be too hard to change her sign, her ads in the paper, and business cards and stuff.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
don't worry most or all Arabic women don't change their namesHow many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
The national average of women keeping their last name in some form (such as hyphenation) has doubled in the last ten years from 10% to 20%. The average for women not taking thier husbands name at all, just getting married and keeping thier name exactly the same is 3%.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I changed my name because, honestly, I didn't like my last name. I also had the problem as a kid that my mom had a different last name, %26amp; I hated it. My aunt chose to hyphenate. Her daughters are 9 yrs. apart %26amp; from different marriages. One of her kids has both last names, the other has the first only. It keeps it more comfortable for the kids I think.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
Your IDENTITY and your NAME are two DISTINCTLY different things. If your identity is alla bout your name you are in serious trouble. If you feel you needed to keep your maiden name fine, but MOST women (the majority) do change theirs. Again, having your identity so closely wrapped up in your name is like having it wrapped up in your breasts. In other words, grow up and get a life!How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I never ever wanted to change my name. I always knew this and some people did not think that was normal or even liked that about me. lol. Oh well. That is my business. So, when I did get married I kept my name AND added his. Plus he added my name to his--legally. Nice trade I think.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I changed mine...your hubbys last name must be horrible? I am still the same person I was then, just have a different name. I dont feel I changed my identity!How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
I know of someone who didn't change her last name when she married. I know of women who go by their maiden and married name. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you decide to keep your name, so be it.How many women haven%26039;t changed their name...?
