2	Thoughts after watching a BBC historical film - women haven't been oppressed in the West since the early middle ages. I don't think it's really a conscious decision to look sexy or cute; I think women being all dolled up is just seen as professional and put-together in the wider world. I mean, if you were hiring for a position, and there were two women with the exact same qualifications and work experience, but one was a middle-aged frumpy woman in an ill-fitting outfit who had no make-up on and one was a cute, lipsticked young woman in a well-tailored business suit, whom would you pick? The young one, because …	/r/MensRights	16/08/10 09:34 AM
1	Thoughts after watching a BBC historical film - women haven't been oppressed in the West since the early middle ages. First point--I'm sorry, I said 1920 because I assume that most Redditors are Americans and that we were talking about America mostly. But I know that is dumb. Second point--You're right about the women's colleges, but I would argue that, as frustrating as that must be for men (and I can imagine it might frustrate you,) women's colleges were never seen as the "best," whereas Princeton, Harvard, Yale (etc.) all were. I have friends that attend women's colleges, and they are great schools, but they…	/r/MensRights	16/08/10 09:23 AM
1	Thoughts after watching a BBC historical film - women haven't been oppressed in the West since the early middle ages. I'm not saying that they were angry (did I say that they were angry?), and I'm not saying that I'm angry about that fact... I understand that it was a different time and all that. But I AM angry that everyone is trying to argue that there was no oppression of women in the recent past. It is such a sweeping, flawed generalization.	/r/MensRights	16/08/10 08:21 AM
1	Thoughts after watching a BBC historical film - women haven't been oppressed in the West since the early middle ages. Yes, guys always argue that "women set the standards for themselves." While I agree with you other women probably have something to do with it, it still seems as if women keep doing it because they know that otherwise men won't find them sexy or attractive and thus they will end up not promoted (or even hired) in the workplace and completely alone in terms of romance. I think it is a mix between male and female influence. About the golddigging thing... do you really think men would like it if th…	/r/MensRights	16/08/10 08:18 AM
2	Thoughts after watching a BBC historical film - women haven't been oppressed in the West since the early middle ages. I don't want to be mean, but... seriously? That's your solution? Leave all their family and friends and move to another country? :/	/r/MensRights	16/08/10 08:12 AM
2	Thoughts after watching a BBC historical film - women haven't been oppressed in the West since the early middle ages. I know--I know. I promise that I know, and I didn't want you to think that that's what I meant. It isn't sunshine and lollypops, much like being a white person isn't sunshine and lollypops. There are no apparent advantages in every day life. It is just when one takes a broader view of it that one realizes how bad it is to NOT be in the majority.	/r/MensRights	16/08/10 08:09 AM
3	Thoughts after watching a BBC historical film - women haven't been oppressed in the West since the early middle ages. That's a bit like saying "African-Americans haven't been oppressed since the end of slavery, because then it became illegal to beat and kill them." Is oppression really just "hurting and killing a target group"? Or is it displaying prejudice against them? Women have been oppressed since then. They couldn't vote until 1920. They couldn't go to many colleges, such as Princeton and Harvard, no matter how smart they were, until the 1960's. (Yes, there were sister colleges, but separate is not equal.…	/r/MensRights	16/08/10 08:00 AM
2	The well-built man, complete with six-pack and muscular shoulders, is no longer the ideal male body shape. But when did men start aspiring to be thin? And should we worry? I don't know... almost every guy I know considers their partner's body to be incredibly important--I'd say at least 80%. But only about 20% of my friends that are girls really care about how much money the guy makes. I mean, as long as he hasn't been unemployed for two years and living in the basement of his parents' house playing video games all day, I don't think women care as much about success/money nearly as much as how much men care about bodies. I think you are confusing "really, really h…	/r/MensRights	28/06/10 03:42 AM
2	The well-built man, complete with six-pack and muscular shoulders, is no longer the ideal male body shape. But when did men start aspiring to be thin? And should we worry? "I have D cups. Apparently if you have D cups you are clearly obese, if you use the size of women's clothing as a gauge." So "size 10" to you is "clearly obese"? :/	/r/MensRights	28/06/10 03:35 AM
