Last 2 posts take a swing that probably kills the thread.
So be it not enough wanted to continue.
QL having seem much of you in print this morning, some interesting comments.
More unfortunately a bit off.
May I,understand the right reaction followed by most, is to ignore, but well why?
Do you post while drinking.
Do you ever read your posts again the next day.
Have you noticed we are not getting as many new threads as usual?
Thanks to all those who posted lets hope one day we look again at the life some women live.

Bellybabe:”Slut walk, well a cop in another country said some women[ was I think talking about rape victims] should not dress like Sluts.
It started a world wide slut march.”

I still haven’t checked it out. So they didn’t like being told how to dress or not to dress slutty so they are marching in support of dressing like sluts or against being called sluts when they dress like sluts? Yes it is victim blaming but I do believe occasionally the victim added to their own victimising.

I’ve known a few sluts and maybe some sex addicts and some young things that thought they had some power in the world by making men want them sexually. All a bit sad really. Now and again you meet someone who just really enjoys sex and isn’t playing any other game, but it isn’t often.

ISMise:”I know full well that a few women, in the West, ran factories during the war but that doesn't alter the fact that no woman can ever equal a man for the amount produced during a shift on lathes, milling machines or large drills. They are just not built for it.”

Yeah but SOME are and SOME men arn’t either. I’ve found those heavy jobs you build up too and get stronger and faster after a little time no matter the gender.

IsMise:”Much exploitation of women in western society could not happen if women didn't want it to happen.”

True that. But this thread was talking about India – or China – might have been both.

Leap:”I think toddlers in tiara's is the best place to start the drumming down process's, don't you think.”

Prizes for looking the cutest, or being the fastest, strongest, or even the smartest. Weird stuff but I don’t know how we condemn one without slapping them all down.

There’s little boys pageants too, spotted one on tv not long ago. They were so cute. :)

Oh lightness up belly, and No I only drink tea. Yes Jewely, I've seen the little boys pageants and I cant say I agree with the mental picture its paints. However what parents do with there children is their business and how they turn out will exclusively on there heads.

Women in general DO sometimes get the short end of the stick at times, maybe better judgment in some situations may help deal with a male dominated world.

Yep, Jewls. I always marvel how it's considered shallow to be obsessed with looks, but intelligence is somehow some kind of a virtue. They're both natural. Neither require any work.

So, if you're upset about child beauty pageants, you should also be upset about child chess masters. Or our latest 15yo Aussie swimming sensation.

It's almost as if people think a life dedicated to beauty is obscene, but sport or acedemia is somehow all ok?

What we really should be upset about is that beautiful young boys don't get the same opportunity to excel based on their looks as beautiful girls do. If only I'd had the opportunity and a supportive parent and a Little Mr World infrastructure, I could have excelled. For the life of me I cant understand how feminists think beauty pageants represent female disadvantage. It's men that are excluded.

So the ugly girls miss out, and beautiful one's their looks are worth less and less after they hit mid 20s. But so to for your average NRL player; The weedy kids miss out, and the athletic ones are worth less and less as they age.

Well all I can say leap is I certainly don't dominate the world and I really don't think other guys speak or act on behalf of me. In fact, they always stop and let pretty girls in before me in queues.

I find it so fascinating that women worked in factories. Not.

I know I have the most nimble fingers, more nimble on a computer mouse than any woman could dare to attempt to compete with me. I also bet women wouldn't dare to do what dangerous things I do all day like constantly attending meetings without even so much as a pen let alone any kind of paper. Those chicks always have to bring a clipboard and a bloody pencil case full of highlighters, I'm so much braver and mightier then them.
