Quote Of The Day: "There is another side to chivalry. If it dispenses leniency, it may with equal justification invoke control."
-Freda Adler
Oh I couldnt help but share that quote with all of you. I have not found anything more laughable or idiotic in my entire life, if ever I have been accused of posting a feminist type quote I must admit guilt on this one. This is the type of quote that can only come from a woman scorned or some over excited feminist who has no respect or idea of what chivalry in the modern age is truly about. So many consider out society to be quite advanced in its culture and its equality between sexes and races but I think that somewhere here we lost sight of what equality is. Now I may or may not anger some of you with some of the following statements which have to do with my views on equality and feminism. Equality is not where a woman can sue an all mens club for not letting her in. Equality is not when a woman can sue an all male college for not allowing her entrance. Equality is not a Native American casino which pays no federal or state tax and governs itself. Equality is not an African American attorney appealing to Congress because he/she believes that everyone of their like skin color should be payed a certain amount of money from the other taxpayers just because their ANCESTORS, NOT THEM, got royally screwed by someone I never met or knew. The sins of the father are not passed onto the son. We must be held accountable for our own actions and not those of people long dead with whom we have no true connection. Equality IS letting both gay and straight couples be allowed to marry. Equality IS allowing both men and women their respective organizations that can be only of one sex if that is what they wish. Equality IS colleges considering ALL applications fairly without bias towards sex or race (so long as that college is not all of one particular sex and is intended to be so do to its rules and stipulations) and not HAVING to take in so many of one sex or one race despite the outstanding creditials of better qualified candidates. Equality among the sexes IS a woman being payed the same amount for a job as a male doing the same work. Equality is a man being granted maternity leave the same as a woman despite the lack of physical effects. Equality is Pepsi including a Coke in every six pack, equality is Microsoft advertising for Macintosh, equality is this and equality is that. But in the end the world is NOT equal, and we have to live with that. We do need to improve our world, there is much work to be done but we WILL NOT achieve that by blaming one another or by attacking each others beliefs. While I am on the topic I would urge each of you, of voting age, to vote for Kerry in the coming elections and to topple LORD BUSH and his war. I urge each of you to stop this so called war for freedom. And to those of you trying to stop this war, STOP trying to use troop death counts as a way of doing it. We all know each of those soldiers knew the risk going there. I would not give a single penny, a single tear or thought towards our troops, they knew the risk and the conditions and if they dont like it then they shouldnt have signed up this WAS NOT a draft. I may write more later but I gotta get ready for class now.
