Well, I found another amazing post in Gaia and I thought I'd share it. Again, it's not mine and I give full credit to Girl Gamer of that site. I hope you enjoy because it's one of the best I've seen in ages.

BOY POWER!!!!!
who's making the T-shirts? I think the concrete example of how girls only soccer leagues are okay, but boys only aren't Concrete examples like the 10 year old and the T-shirt really make it very persuasive Now I know what my English teacher meant when she said I never used enough concrete examples, tthey really help in persuading people (like me at least) in conclusion: BOY POWER!!!

Bravo! Encore! That is so head on it's not even funny. I never realized it, but they are treated like that alot of the times. Especially by girls taking atvantage of them.
...but I wont go as far as to say "BOY POWER" but will say "EQUALITY POWER" which will probably never be reached. But for right now Im happy to see that I might have an advantage in school! w00t!

Instead of "BOY POWER!!!" or "POWER POWER!!!" you guys should be shouting "EQUALITY! EQUALITY!"
Shouting out male power is sexist. Equality isn't. The world won't be at peace until equality is achieved. :\

which is why it will never happen because some idiot somewhere will always come and say that he/she is better than us, and then start a war
then there are the options that are shown in books like 1984 < these options suck

Well, at least we can achieve gender equality. BUt it will be a tough process, though. How would there be an agreement that satisfies all or most of the parties?
By the way, this Gaia post was an excellent read. Quote:

I agree with her, GREAT read. Everything in there is true, and very realistic. ANY female calling that post sexist, are more likely to be the sexist ones considering that post twinges their jealousy knob. Right on, that was awesome. If only all women thought that way...

Wow. That was actually really interesting. The article points out some obvious things in society that nobody ever really notices because they've been there for so long.
Of course, there is still some male sexism around, but like Q pointed out, people will jump all over males who make sexist comments, while females can say the same things about males and nobody will notice. Once again, great article. |

I'd also like to point out who is favored in the classroom, the courtroom and who is always given the benefit of doubt when it comes to any "who's the one being dishonest" situation.
Oh, I'd also like to point out that women are much more likely to file sexual harassment suits (as the data shows), are more likely to leave work preganant (duh hurr) and are much more likely to want extensive health benefits for themselves and their families (this is not to say that a man wouldn't but a single man is much less likely than a single woman to be intrigued by health benefits). So, why is it that women are paid less? Well, adjust for a few variables, such as the aforementioned, and they're not. Thank you. Q |

Yeah I dont know how many guys get sexually harassed but It's much easier to do it to a girl becuase one we are more emotional (proven fact) and because yeah...you just can. |

i found a large portion of that fairly unbelievable and sensational. mainly because many of the statistics aren't cited at all. she could make making most of that up for all i know. and almost all of my personal experience doesn't support what i've read in that article. every time i read about horrible injustices it's always happening somewhere else, and i've grown to become a little skeptical.
are there any articles on this matter from a more credible source than "a female poster from gaia"? i'm not inclined to believe that post to any certain degree right now.
