I’ve read most of the works of Georg Hegel and haven’t come across this ‘Master-slave dialectic’. I’m not being sarcastic, btw – just want to know!
WOW! We’ve gone from American Women Suck to a 19th century German philosopher! Now that’s a Synthesis (Hegelian inside joke)!
I really don't think that American women are that bad.Alot of them are spoiled though. However I don't think to highly of feminism, here's why:
These days feminism has given women the ability to do the same things that men do. How as far as education and work go I don't have problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the sex part. Women can be as promiscuous as men and I think that wrong on a couple of different levels. Back in the day if you wanted to get laid you had to marry the chick. That also increased the chances of the two of you creating a stable family. Nowadays you can take a woman out on date to burger world, do her in the back seat of your car, get her pregnant, and she'll raise the kid by herself. If she's lucky she may be able to remember your name so she could try to figure out which guy out of 25 got her pregnant. Hoprfully the kid will be ok but it's been proven that kids that grow up in single parent houseolds often times have more trouble the kids in "traditional" homes. I'm not even gonna go into what this kind of thing does to peoples taxes..... no wait I'll give you hint, it's called WELLFARE!!!!!!

I disagree Zap. Try educating three children concurrently (the average american nuclear family is 2.2 kids last I heard). Attending an in-state public insitution costs nearly 15,000 dollars per year per student.
Having three children attending would
necessitate that 45,000 dollars of AFTER TAX income per year be spent solely on educational expenses; this is approximately one person’s yearly salary. In such cases financial aid does exist as well as scholarship.
Yet, most aid is granted as subsidized and unsubsidized loans; scholarships/grants are usually small and aid only in routine expenses such as food, clothing, etc. Expecting your children to work a job more than 10 hours per week through their education serves only to SEVERELY hamper their future earning potential.
It is impossible to maintain the high GPA and rigorous schedule required of well paying degree programs with even a small part time job.
Well, I worked one full-time job and two part time jobs while attending college. It was very hard (I slept whenever I could), and it took 6 years to do it, but I did it. And While my GPA did suffer (still made the Deans list once) I think I actually developed an attitude that I could do and be anything I wanted if I worked hard enough.
I don’t want to sound harsh. However,
when did it become the governments responsibility to educate your children? Sure it would be great to send all of your children to college and not have to have any of them work. But, I wonder how realistic that is? I also wonder if there are some going to college that really shouldn’t be there.
Opportunity is created by hard work and sacrifce not by the government. [/quote]
I’m gonna say somthin’ thats gonna get me in trouble. A couple years ago I applied for a job with a “large soda company”. The town I lived in was mostly white. When I got the application and HAD to check my race and HAD to check my veteran status I knew I got the job. It really made me feel like shit to know I got the job based on my race. Granted I did have all the skills and experience. But I really busted my ass to prove that I was “worthy”. Matter of fact I would have become the warehouse manager if I hadn’t joined the Army.
