Are G&WS interested in ‘truth’ or only ‘rhetoric’, why are Q’s on ‘your position or stance’ never answered?

Question

I constantly see rebuttals from women to silly & daft questions

and lots of responce about kicking men in the balls, men cheating etc

I’ve been watching a question from a young man for some days now, very good Question on the issues, but alas no real answer, why?

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsdNCRAa.K.vBWSj6AdkoyAgBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20080613112008AAAd11b

I have a daughter about the same age, a bright and beautiful young person. What is wrong with knowing the issues, why can’t any women give a clear and constructive answer?

We already know how men are to be blamed for everything, but what else it there to it?

What is needed to fix it from here on?

Answer 1

No. Yes. (That's my 'answer' for the delete-bots.)

Well, there you go. Now he has my answer, but I doubt it will suit him ~ or you ~ any better.

Women can give clear and constructive answers, I read several to that question. Why can't some men hear them?

Cheers :-)

Answer 2

That's so funny, that boy's question.  He's being a smartypants getting us to answer what is clearly a homework question.  He couldn't care less about women's history.  I have almost 70,000 points, so, I'm getting good at recognizing such wily re-phrased homework questions.

MANY women give clear and constructive answers here.  To ask, " . . .why can't any women give a clear and constructive answer" is tantamount to saying the pleasure of an honorable or intelligent woman has not occured here in your experience, which is nonsense.  So, hyperbole aside, I would think, if one truly believes women here cannot give a clear and constructive answer, then he should stop asking questions of them since they are so unworthy and just go ask questions elsewhere.

Answer 3

I can only speak for myself but there is no feminism without men.  You are a father, you are a man, you know the difference between how the world is and what sort of world you would like your daughter to grow up in.  You know how you would like her to be treated and thought of.  I think that's what FEMINISM IS ALL ABOUT AND I KNOW YOU WILL BE DOING WHAT YOU CAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HUGE INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE.

You have a point about rhetoric, but truths change they are contingent on culture.  Let's hope the truths we aspire too are wise ones.

Answer 4

I've answered this same Q several times....not the last two times he has posted.  How often does it need to be explained?

How often should we repeat ourselves?

Your daughter may still not be able to go into the field of her choice, if she does not get a degree she will never make the same as a man, sexism is everywhere....if she is 16 I wouldn't be surprised if she hasn't already seen it.

Besides why is your daughter better then someone else's.

Whos daughter's genitals are sewn shut to protect her virginity?

Who is sold and traded for power or money?

who if raped and complains, has no chance of a fair trial and will serve jail time FOR being raped?

Why must womens rights stop in the US or in the developed countries?

Answer 5

Try to keep in mind that this entire y.a. phenomena is part of the internet ; not a business site. It's a forum for chatter, rant, entertainment & silliness ; similar to a chat room. If one desires a complete, serious nature to  questions, this is not the place [esp. gws] to  expect  it. Why would you take this seriously here when you can't be sure of ones identity ?

Answer 6

My real concern is for women in third world countries.  I believe these are the women who need the most help with women's rights.  Their right to live without fear of violence, rape, abuse and the problems they encounter due to their culture and religion.  They need more education so they can try to break their cycle of a bleak future.  Health care, child care, education, freedom of speech - these things are unknown to these women.

This is what I think is the real women's rights issues.
