Today, my mother sat me down to tell me that since coming home from college, I sounded like "a liberated woman". She was disappointed and disturbed by this and said that I should stop having strong opinions and ideals because it would make finding a husband for me difficult. FML

Don't stop being "a liberated woman" everyone should use their brains and being willing to speak in a peaceful manor and have discussions on issues. Besides I would rather date a woman that can tell me that I am wrong and then we can discuss why I am wrong and find common ground. Keep it up, your doing the right thing.

Gee, Leaper, tell me how women's rights detract from the rights of men. Just give me one example of that happening. You obviously know nothing of feminism as a movement and the implication of equality.

Actually 15, a feminist is someone who believes in a woman's choice to do whatever she wants. A feminazi is the type who think every woman needs to be a ceo or she's a disgrace to her gender.
OP, odds are, she thinks you're just acting like you know everything and you're annoying her. Otherwise, I'm sorry that your mom is stuck in the 50s.

Oh Stryker... You must never want to have sex if you think women are a different species... Interspecies relationships are illegal in most states!

Er, before you go on a sexist rant, I would suggest you take a look at your basic biology textbook about what a "species" actually is. Then you could actually make an argument that didn't invalidate itself by your ignorance.

187 it's not her fault what goes on in her country, she can't help if women are oppressed. Good for her if she's becoming a feminist, but she doesn't deserve to be told he won't be able to find a husband because she has her own thoughts

You see the thing is, a woman who can tell you that you are wrong will slowly morph into her always being right. Then you will have an unpleasant marriage. And besides you don't know since you say you would rather have that. Honestly you really don't want a woman like that.

random, you're right, women in more urban and modernized areas DO have the freedom and choice to express their thoughts, but when it comes down to marriage, families don't want a daughter-in-law who expresses her ideas and will go against the elders. Forget any muslim countries, i have muslim friends in the US and although their families value education, they don't want their daughters to show their independence and outspoken ideas in front of other families. In the end, it is all about how much education a daughter has and how she will accept whatever decisions her elders and husband's family makes.
They DO have the freedom to express themselves, but it's not how a prospective husband's family wants their daughter in law to be.

Point out to your mom that it'll only make it harder to find an uneducated, redneck husband, and that's not what you want anyways. Being smart will attract a smart, educated man who's not threatened by a woman who actually has brains. Ask her why she wants you to marry a man who would feel threatened by intelligence. Those are the men who beat their wives, after all.

Wow I sincerely hope you're joking. Women are just as smart as men, and many women are leaders in the fields of science, art, politics, and more. I don't know who you think you are to say something like that, even if you meant it in jest. Why don't you come on back to the 21st century and stop living in the past.

You do realize that statistically women have higher IQ's than men? I know it shows in your writing skills.

#17, actually, neither men nor women have higher IQs on average, but men are more likely to have either a very high or very low IQ than women (higher standard deviation). However, the highest IQ in the world belongs to a woman.

Actually Sarahbau, while you're right about men having a higher standard deviation, you're incorrect about saying that a woman has the highest IQ. The highest recorded IQ is a Korean man named Kim Ung-yong with an IQ of about 210. The person you're referring to is Marilyn Vos Savant, who's IQ is still a very impressive 186.

And even if there was a God your line of reasoning is laughable. Ribs make equal - what?

Really? We're the bitches? Why, you're too lazy to even use proper grammar. And what the hell entitles you to be so superior? You CAME from a woman you blithering idiot. Women aren't superior, but neither are men. It's jackasses like you that need to stop bitching. What do you know? What do you know about the people who suffered at the hands of bigoted pricks like you. Shut up and crawl back under your rock you sexist pig.

You know women fought for their own rights, don't you? It was people like you that just got in the way. But of course, you're too high and mighty to pay attention to history, aren't you? Women have always been blocked by pigs like you, but that doesn't make all men bad. Thankfully, you are part of a dying breed that is stuck posting moronic, sexist comments on the Internet. You aren't even "man" enough to say that to a woman's face. Just log off, and go jerk off. Because there's no way a girl would date a prick like you.
