Women's Rights

Think I'm joking? Then, I hope those that think I am, never end up in divorce court!:sad:

Where in MOST instances, your soon to be ex will be awarded the mine, and u, the SHAFT!:doh:

Want to see your kids once in awhile after the divorce? It will USUALLY be whenever SHE wants! If your CDing is brought up in court, u may not see them again until they graduate high school!:eek:

And, how much of that alimony and child support money MUST be spent on the kids?
If u said, "Zero", you're the winner!:balloons:

Ok, just my,:2c: I was trying to liten up things a bit!

Yes. I notice it more, and feel more need to act.
I also notice women responding positively to a guy supporting them at a moment they didn't expect it.

Yes, as CD/TG I am more sensitive to women's rights.

Wow, you definitely need to find a new job! My wife has the same complaint, so she finally asked me to cut it out and treat her with more respect.

[SIZE="2"]Like some others here I’m not transgendered per se, but I am sensitive to womens’ issues. I always have been for as long as I can remember – you can’t spend time in the company of women without seeing (and hearing about) what they’re going through in this all-male universe.

My sister used to do medical coding for insurance purposes – just last night she was telling me how some “male enhancement” products are covered by Medicare, while some post-mastectomy therapies and treatments were not, at least initially. She went on to tell me how long it took for the insurance companies to come around and help their valuable female clients. She said to me “It just shows you who makes the rules in this world of ours!”

As far as “rights” are concerned, I don’t think anyone has any rights – the idea of “rights” was made up years ago by someone, most likely a man, for the purposes of power and control over others. Women certainly never entered into the equation, and that’s a bloody shame…[/SIZE]

From the historical facts i always thought of women as a "weaker" sex when i was younger because of their overall weakness when it comes to emotions, physical/body weakness due to low body muscle mass, less adventurous and risk taking like the famous saying goes "the higher the risk the higher the gain" men tend to have it better when it comes to all the issues i've mentioned above.

But as time goes on achievements were less measured with body muscle mass, or how one can endure emotionally, or taking risks per say, but rather success this days is measured through high I.Q (intelligence), meticulous nature to be able to deliver high accuracy, in tune with the environment, grooming and taking extra care in looking trim etc and those traits i mentioned are found more and more in women at the expense of men, hence making women a bit more of valuable staff than most men and in addition most women get higher GP points in the University than most men and statistics is showing that women are getting smarter than men when it comes to exam scores.

I guess women should have a better deal this days cos the world is gradually becoming less masculine.

One final thought, majority of women are not willing or interested in handling the "dirty" jobs that involve inhumanity, display of open brutality etc hence they are not willing to be fully independent of men. From what i've learnt from many women, they dont see men as "superior" rather they see men as high risk takers, a bit un-kept, inconsiderate and a bit boring............but never superior. Most of the women are quite comfortable with the state they find themselves.

My view use to be "Let them eat cake."
But I am not as headstrong as i once was so now my philosophy about woman rights are,
"Try it you may like it, if not go back to the f******g kitchen"

But why take my advice, I'm just a regular guy in a dress with heels on.

As Rodney King once said"Can't we all just get along." People are people, one is no better than the next, it's all just a matter of what you do with what you've got. People have slowed the advancement of civilization by trying to separate us by Gender, Color, or Believe, but if we would just all pull together thin where we could be.

Amen, sistah.

I strongly believe in equal rights for all people, including women, men and men who dress as women.

Thank you for the thoughtful question. As a life long member of the community but infrequent participant, here are my thoughts on your question.

Probably but I hope not. It’s an unfortunate reality that basic human rights are influenced by gender, race etc. It’s something I’ve never understood and for me runs much deeper than being tg. I tend to separate rights from entitlements. I think we may all have our own interpretation of both. In many ways, I only feel “entitled” to that which I have earned. Be it the trust of a friend or the shoes on my feet. In the end, I hope I am sensitive to all human rights and supportive of equal rights for all regardless of being tg.

We are all equal. Dr. King said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. "
This applies to all of us. We need to have no reference to color, sex or age if over 18
on any job application. Or for that matter how we want to dress, or what underwear we have on.
The question is " Do you feel you are more sensitive to womens issues and supportive of womens rights because of your female gender identity ?"
Perhaps because I do have a femine side I am more sensitive, but not just to womens rights, but to the rights of all.

Not really... Or not any more than I do gay rights... Minority rights... Tibetan monks rights.. Animal rights... World hunger.... And world peace (little Miss America wave).

The more I learn about how women are treated, the more upset I get. Fair?
Equality? Best be aware. How a society treats its women and children is the key. Some places they'd stone us to death.
