The treatment of western women?

including the United States.. sex objects

Sex sells. We're the biggest capitalists in the world. If it sells, we WILL exploit it until it is destroyed. Doesn't matter who or what is ruined in the process.

Great post! Our society is totally sick, little girls don't eat so they can look like our media portrays, these talk shows and MTV crap shows are just selling the **** out of sex. We in America are the most uptight nation in the western world about sex and nudity. Strangly enough our entertainment industry has a completly different view and we except it. Go figure.

It's a two-way mirror. They wouldn't broadcast it if it wasn't what we wanted to see.

Yeah great get laid but what about when they want something real and meaningful, does a guy really want to marry the girl who ***ed him on the first date because he has a cool car.

As an older woman that has lived mostly in the US and a few years in Canada I guess I just have never felt like I was discriminated against.

I raised my kids and enjoyed doing so while hubby worked hard to bring home the bacon - which I cooked. We were a "family" raising our children. We did without a few luxuries because of my choice to stay home but during that time I learned skills that I used to start my own business - sewing and decorating. I started a very successful business in custom drapery and interior design that I ran for 13 years. I imported fabric from Europe, dealt with large corporations, etc. and never felt that because I was a woman that I was treated differently.

Now, I work in a competitive business surrounded by men and they treat me with the respect that they would anyone else.

Women who want to hold the priesthood? Why? Responsibility comes with that calling. I would rather be on the other end of the spectrum - procreation - something a man cannot do!

I vote, voice my opinion, own property, and pretty much do my own thing.

As far as looks - yes, a woman who looks fabulous might get her foot in the door quicker, but will also get the boot if she doesn't measure up.

Almost any woman can look nice with effort. It's not all about having the best body - it's about being clean, well groomed and intelligent.

If a man is shallow enough to just be interested in a woman because of her looks then he isn't worth your attention, is he?

I have a gorgeous daughter and she dated some pretty homely guys. When asked about it she said that she never paid attention to looks but the person inside, and besides looks fade quickly. This came from dating guys that wanted that trophy on his arm and forgot that he too had to give something more to the relationship.

Besides ladies, don't you like to look at the guys who are ripped? I really think it goes both ways!

Your opinion of the treatment of western women...we have focused so much on other cultures

Just about anywhere I looked in the world...no place was bliss for women..including the United States.. sex objects..and if I should venture further..seen a woman president lately? And one supported by the American Men ?

And as far as religion is concerned...ever witness....at any time in history... a Female Pope? The only qualified candidate is The dead Virgin Mary...so even the western woman is strugglin with suffering and inequality

Here's a little homework assignment for ya. Go out and buy a copy of Cosmo. Read it. Every single page.

Now, realize that the majority of young women in this country follow drivel like that. There's half your problem.

Next, go and buy a copy of Maxim. Read it. Every page. Realize THAT is what the majority of young men in this country follow. There's the other half.

i love curvy women :p

Having a daughter that was a model and a dancer I don't have to read the mags! And, having raised 4 daughters and one son I kind of have a clue as to what the world likes or dislikes. I don't sit with my head in the sand all day.

I just think that there are a lot of people in this world that don't live their lives patterned after the Britney's of the world.

My daughter is a motivational speaker for young people with a presentation called "Inside-Out" - beauty begins from the inside out. I attend her speaking engagements and see girls from all walks of life and are generally impressed with the caliber of young people I encounter.

If you are one of those that sit and hate the world because of your physical assets then you need to do something positive about it!

Women have and will continue to build this country. The top floor should be open to them. Salaries should be the same as for men in the same position.

Now I am not saying Mrs. Clinton should be president. But women would probably do a far better job than men. Now that would require all countries to have women leaders to get it right the first time. Whats the odds of the men giving up power?

There is some jobs woman should never have control of ..
