What are the disadvantages of becoming a teen mom?
- teen mom's are children themselves, the lack the maturity, understanding, & selflessnish of what it takes to raise a child - they have no way of living in their own home, working a full time job, & going to school full time to support themselves & their child - they need to graduate school first - they don't have the chance to experiance life, to have fun, & act their age, & if they do decide to still do that, than the child suffers from not having a stable life & a good rolemodel - the mother will have no money & be on government funding & struggle for a lot of her life - or a grandparent will end up taking the responsibility and raising the child, thus leaving the child confused about it's parents - it's just not practical, it's not the right thing to do, the mom thinks she's ready for a baby or decides to have a baby to try to keep/control the father, but the person who sufferes the most is the baby, & the mom just doesn't get that
Does male privilege exist to some extent?
If the boy acts up and does not act like the girls, he gets put on pills to slow him down. Men are 9X more likely to be a victim of crime, and 700 times more likely to die on the job. If a man is sexual active, and gives the woman an STD, he can be charged with a crime. If a woman has sex with five underage boys while being HIV+, she is charged with having sex with a minor. Men who don't marry have a shorter lifespan then men who do. Men who place importance on work and supporting their family are tossed out of the home, ordered to pay child support, and given limited contact with their children. Women spend the money to maintain their looks not for the men, but to one up other women. If a man is upset and angry for a good reason, he is considered controlling and abusive. Women buy the vast majority of pornographic books telling them that imaginary men are far better lovers than anything they will find in the real world. Do male privileges exist? Yes They get to work 10% more than women in order to earn the higher incomes that women complain about. They have the exclusive right to register for Selective Service, something women do not have the courage to fight for. Men have the exclusive right to not defend themselves from a violent woman in order to avoid being arrested. Men have the right and the ability to commit suicide as a result of depression, 4X more often then women. Men have the exclusive right to not be informed they have a child for up to 23 years and than pay 18 years of retroactive child support. Custodial fathers have the right to still be required to pay child support to the mother. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=145960707624 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090920192207AA2kvLm http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110305165929AAZzY0M
Why should I reject "gender roles"?
Gender roles have constantly been changing. For years, men were the only people you would see wearing heeled shoes, and pink was a rich and masculine color. Over time, as women developed the standing to wear pants, and pink and heels, things outlandish, ‘badass’, or ‘feisty’, men discarded them and said they were now only for women, so they wouldn’t represent wealth or masculine power.Gender roles are established to disadvantage people of any gender. They create barriers and unattainable and/or unhealthy expectations for everyone. These expectations are based in the idea that humans are binary sexes and binary genders (both of which are scientifically false), and that having a Y chromosome means you fit a cookie cutter of expectations.Rejecting gender roles allows an opening for us to create our own culture of acceptance of humans as humans. The colorful mixed bag of hormones and preferences that we produce can only flourish and expand if we accept who we are and stop punching down our friends, partners, and children. Feeling comfortable doing what you love without worrying about your wife or neighbors looking at you as ‘less of a man’ or ‘failure at being a woman’ for your goals and relationship with yourself and others is a key part to being emotionally and mentally healthy. If you haven’t been paying attention to the world, countries like Sweden and Norway, who have been working on this for a while have some of the highest recordings of population happiness we’ve ever seen. Coincidence? Maybe, but it’s better than we’ve been doing thus far.
