Behshied's response (from a female's point of view)

Women's Rights isn't the reason why you have no job and twenty-something year olds are in this ordeal. It's easy to blame someone else for all your problems. Personally, I think your view is naive.


1. Let's do a history lesson first.
Women's Rights was a movement was in regards to the right to vote in 1920. You are talking about when women entered the work force, which is during WWI. Although, no one can deny that women have entered the workforce increasingly as year passed by, especially in the late 60s and early 70s, this doesn't skew the perception of men and women.

By now, men should realize that women are in the same league as men, especially our generation. Currently, majority of the "20-something year olds" can say both their parents work full time. So, to say the perception and expectations of children have been warped is naive and ignorant. Our generation has to see that women are in the workforce and they are working along side men. The end.

Now, the idea of a women going to work from the beginning was to help their family financially. This was the purpose of women entering the working class. Majority of those women who worked, were in the lower class bracket. In fact, due to its stigma, women who worked were designated by society that their family was poor. In other words, men needed help in making money, because they couldn't make enough, women went in to help. So, there it is. It's men's fault for women entering the workforce you lazy, half ass, porn addicted, hussie. You weren't making enough money to feed Johnny, Willy, Sally, Susie, and little Michael. You kept boning me, we had no birth control, money was low, and so, women took control and started a movement.

2. Lack of Moral Integrity
Personally, I think what is skewed is our morals. I'm not sure how everyone feels, but this is the impression I have amongst our age group with religion. Having a strong sense of faith is not the most positive trait a person can have. In fact, some may say they feel embarrassed to express their love for their "God," considering there are so many negative connotations to it, e.g. radicalism, hate, one-mindedness, the list goes on.

What does this have to do with us? To answer this, I first have to answer this question: what are the basics of religion? Don't have sex before marriage, don't drink, don't do drugs, be good, pray, be respectful, don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't murder, and so forth.

Well, since our generation is less religious and some just feel as though is a form of control, we believe that we can handle it without it.
So, little John Doe grows up and denies "God" or religion by age 17. He goes to a party in college at 18, fucks a lot of bitches, smokes tons of weed, skips class, and drinks during the day at a football game while getting into a fight against his rivals. Mmm... do some basic critical analysis there... yah John just fucked up the basics of religion. Now, what will happen. Okay, so he fucks so many bitches, he has no more feelings anymore because they all broke his heart. He smoked so much weed that he can barely think straight anymore and it's the only thing that makes reality and pain to go away. He skipped so many classes that he barely passed them with C's. And he spent all his parents' investment for his future. In other words, he fucked up and now he graduates with nothing to show for with his degree.

So, John is 23 years old out of college with nothing to show for. So, he takes the chance at any job he can get. But because he still is going to go clubbing and drinks and fucks bitches, he will forget what he wants from life and his job. His job was simply funding the drinks to get the girls to fuck him and paying the gas and their dinners to meet up with them. Now, he is 26 years old and realizes working for Bank of America is the worst of his potential. He has a self realization, "FUCK, I FUCKED UP!"

Now, this is the same for girls, just a different route.

I'm not saying religion will solve everything. I'm saying, we need to let go of all distractions and be strong in what we want in life and follow the basics of what religion wants from us. They were written for a reason. Humans cannot be independent. It isn't in our nature.

3. Technology/Younger Generations
We are growing older, we are seeing more forms of entertainment through technology. I love technology, it's great! But, social networks are making matters worse. Let's take a look at John again. It's Tuesday night and he wonders what Jenny is thinks about him b/c he can't stop thinking about if she thinks he is funny or not since 1st period English. So, what does John do instead of study for your big test tomorrow in science? He goes on facebook and stalks her and her friends and compares their tities. After enough analysis of boob-age, and finding her aim, he goes online to chat with her. The journey begins... Jenny takes interest. And since, girls are pressured to feel like Kim Kardashian, Brittany Spears, or Megan Fox, they put out to get the guy to like them. So, at the age of 14, they have sex. And it doesn't end there. Now, Jenny needs to post hot pictures and prove to the guys in her school she is so cool. So, she starts going out and taking random pictures and wasting her time. Distraction. She gets John to like her. They hang out more. Distraction. She catches him texting Elizabeth one night and they fight. Distraction. They break up. Distraction. She sees Elizabeth and John walking in the halls and having lunch. Distraction. She goes home calls up her girls, plans a party, has Steve come over, fucks and posts it on her status on FB for John to see. Distraction.

Did John or Jenny do well in school? Nope. Graduate from high school and they can't go to a good university. Same cycle just at a earlier time period.
