Selective Feminism
More things that I ponder.
I, frankly, think that Feminism is a joke. Not because I am a male, but because it is unnecessary. Back in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, it was, but now not so much. I find several aspects of it to by hypocritical. Here is an example.
Why is it that feminists fight for equality, yet have said nothing about having to register with the military? All men do, and the Government does't mess around. They will track to down. Understandably, that would force them to support something that they hate. But why?
Woman, as a population, are considered a minority. Intestingly enough, in American (and world) population there are more woman than men. Something like 51% to 49%. Small I realize, but enough to make them officially not a minority.
It's victimhood. American society, more specifically the left, has convinced minorities that they are victims. That subject, however is a whole other post of it's own. Perhaps the next one. Long it will be.

Survey Says....Majority
The property resulting from being or relating to the greater in number of two parts; the main part; more than half of the votes.
It is interesing that this is the commonly held definition of the word "majority," yet the political left only seems to agree with it when it suits them. In the 2000 electection, Dems shouted that Gore won the popular vote (or he won the majority) and that Bush stole the election. Or a neat BS statistic that Iraq's people don't want us there, or that a greater number of people want us to leave. Here is another one. The left slanted media loves to bring up the fact the Bush's approval rating is only 37% in favor. This, of course, means that the majority of people don't agree with Bush. Ok fine.
So why is it that when the majority of America is not offended by saying Merry Christmas, or having the 10 commandments in front of a government building, is it shut down? Why is it that while people in America overwhelming vote for defining marrige as being between a man and a woman, lawsuits are being won to overturn that? All of this the left champions by the way.
Just a thought I had. Im sure someone will try to answer.
