About Me
- Name: Jessie
- Location: Atlanta, Georgia, United States
I'm an educationally stunted 25-year-old that likes people on good days, wants a Rott more than Charlie wanted that damn chocolate bar daily, hates people who drive slow in the fast lane any day, and doesn't quite know the formula for aluminum sulfate (or care to). Because really who needs an edumahcation nowadays? Or experience? Dog- and cock-fighting makes me physically ill, and I have to be reminded by friends that murder isn't legal.

You turned off the comments, Jessie?! How could ya! Well, since I don't get to officially comment on your politics post, I'm gonna do it here, so there *sticking out tongue*
So, well, basically, I totally agree with you. I'm not one to get antsy and loud about my views even if I did disagree with you, so you needn't worry on my part. But yes, it's still utterly amazing that women are not treated as well as men, even if it has been proven over and over and over and over again that we are just as capable and smart as men in so many regards. I'm not going to say that females are better bodybuilders than men, because that's probably not true, but when it comes to something like, say, being the President, I can't imagine that a male would have anything at all over a female. So blah. Society sucks ass. Hopefully this will change in a hundred years, but you know there will always discrimination in some form or another. Humans suck sometimes.
*laugh* Okay, okay. You win...for now. I'm not going to turn the other comments on though. Simply because there are times I meta and it's not always...well-thought.
The disagreeing bit is more because it's easy to lose life long friends because of politics and religion, and I'd rather not do that. I think a lot of the things with women is very much that current foundations are based on century old prejudices. Look how far back Aristotle's views go. It's not new, and the scary part is that I'm sure there will ever be equal rights for women. Because some asshole's always going to be persuasive, with the ability to change rational people's minds. And that's a damn shame. Everyone should have the opportunity to run, to see what each area can do to help better the world. Both genders have their strengths and weaknesses. And a truly progressive society would be willing to understand that very basic concept.
After all, history is written by the winners.
