They can be whatever they want, but not on equal terms to men. It is sad to see young female teachers (not office staff) at my public school job serving coffee and tea to men just because they are men.

Were the Greeks women-haters too?


I'm no classical scholar, but I think it's generally agreed that ancient Greece was not exactly a paradise for women.

Not exactly a paradise for men either: wars and universal slavery. But the feminists didn't tell you that, did they?

But you know, the men went to the ARMY. OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH. I guess now they can just sit on their lazy asses and demand to be served. Wow, that Korean army, what a 2.5 years in absolute hell. I guess that excuses the wife beaters too. They went to the ARMY! All that stress, who can they unload it on?

What I meant was that women had less rights than men. Obviously, ancient Greek society as a whole was pretty miserable compared to today.

You gyus are unbelievable. Who told you that? Feminists back home? Women could stay at home and raise children while men were at war or slaving away. Who had more rights??? What would you choose?

Why do you hate men, your ancestors, and yourself? They don't sit on their lazy asses, they work 50-hour weeks you c u n t. They don't semand to be served, they give their salsry to their wives who control the finance. Who's exploiting who?


I know how they work. I also "work" 8 hours a day. Teachers dont work all that hard my confused little friend. And OTOH was talking about teachers. Wanna know what the male teachers are doing right now? Drinking coffee and playing games. Oh yes. HAAAAAAAAAAARD work.

Men demand to be served pretty much everywhere.

Does their work week also excuse the spousal abuse, drunkenness and unfaithfulness? Tell us, oh you manly man.

Other questions follow. ��What is it discriminatory to call a woman ��ajumma�� (the Korean word for 'aunt')?�� "Men have to spend all day at the office, and then when they come home, must they also play with the kids, too?" ��Don��t women have enough already? They are the ones who control the money, and we men are the ones always being scolded.��


Hmmm, who's serving who?

Just as a polite point of clarification, DW, I don't think there was a point on this thread where I was specifically referring to teachers.
