Feminism

I'm writing a paper about film and second wave feminism, so I took a few books out of the library. One was entitled "Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men?"

Here are some gems.
p. 4: “Expressing feelings of vulnerability brings women affection and men rejection."

p. 47
“When a woman touches a man on his rear, he’s likely to say, ‘thank you’; when a man touches a woman on her rear, she’s more likely to say ‘sue you.’

“Why this difference? He’s always had to work for sex, pay for sex, risk rejection for sex, perform for sex—so what he gets for no work, pay, rejection, or performing creates gratitude: He says ‘thank you.’ She’s had men pay for drinks and dinners before they even asked for sex, so when he takes it without asking and without paying, she’s more likely to say ‘sue you.’"

I hope you enjoyed that. There's even more where that came from.
