bwahahaha. thats awesome.

tell me something. How do pro-life people justify bombing abortion clinics, and killing doctors, nurses, and patients? Not to mention the unborn babies that they are trying to 'protect'

And, for that matter, how come most Republicans (in the states) are pro-life.. yet, pro-gun/pro-war..

"No, you can't abort a baby, but take this healthy teenager and give him a giant gun and send him overseas"

what's your view?

i honestly don't know how those pro-lifers who bomb clinics and attack abortion providers can justify the violence they are committing. i do know that it is a minority of pro-lifers who are this violent - the problem is that they are the ones in the news. as for the Republicans, i shudder to think what will happen to women's reproductive rights if Bush gets a second term.

the one thing i really have trouble understanding is "feminists for life". um, what the heck?

a handy dandy list of
things i am 'for': choice, peacekeeping, literacy, gun control, education, universal human rights, and about a thousand other things along those lines.
and things i'm 'against': racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, lookism, and a whole lot of other things.

oh, and i'm a raging feminist, and damn proud of it.

and i believe that most people are feminists, they just won't admit it. if you believe "in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes" (from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition), then you are a feminist. so i'm willing to bet YOU are a feminist, dave. :P

(ahhhhhhhh i apologize for the rantage and the crazy tangents. i just get all riled up!)

yes, i am a feminist. womens rights all the way
however i find it extremely biased that there are no 'mens rights' groups or anything like that.

The battle between the sexes isn't balanced anymore.. but i cant figure out how to explain this.. uhh.. answer me this: why are there more women than men (by a significant ratio) in every university in canada -- except for one -- and yet, there are more scholarships (by a significant ratio) for female applicants?

gahh i'll get back to you on this. i just woke up and i cant express myself properly
