Do rightwingers despise women?

[chequita guevara]

Finland wasn't a country in 1906. It was part of the Russian Empire. Try again.

Don't be silly, right-wingers love women. Here is their poster girl and champion:

Two things. Is the fact that it is decided by local assemblies not irrelevant in the internet age? Secondly I was under the impression that the supreme court would declare it unconstitutional if it was decided to ban pornography. Anyone know if it was a conservative court that ruled on the lifting of the laws censoring pornography?

I'll have to look up those cases on obscenity again, and in the mean time, go down to your local library, get on the internet and try to grab all the porn that you can, tell us how long it took the 80 year old librarian to beat the crap out of you :P

A committee headed by Professor Robert Hermanson was commissioned to draft the new Parliament Act. The committee convened for the first time in December 1905. The unicameral Parliament was approved in principle on the following day. However, the committee considered dividing Parliament into departments. After a number of phases, the idea of departmental divisions was abandoned and replaced by a Grand Committee of 45 members.

The fundamental decision of granting women the vote was also taken in December. It was agreed that the number of members of Parliament would be two hundred. In January, the majority of the committee approved a proposal to divide the country into election districts. According to the proposal, each election district would be entitled to select a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 21 members of Parliament, depending on the population. The votes would be counted in accordance with the Belgian d´Hondt rule. The majority of the committee proposed that women should be granted the right to vote. The parliamentary reform committee completed its work at the end of February.

The Senate, that is the government of the country, appointed its own committee to monitor the work of the parliamentary reform committee for a month before the final report was completed. The committee processed the senator committee's proposal for a new Parliament Act and Electoral Act on 5 March. The voting age and age of qualification was acknowledged to be 24 years.

Parliament, called "eduskunta, was formed in 1906. It had the supreme power considering domestic politics.

If we only count "independent countries", then it would be Finland -- > 1917 (Somehow, I can't recall any elections held in USSR).

It's a good thing you don't have any credibility, otherwise you would have just flushed it down the toilet.

Yes, but does a 'gentlemanly behavior' towards women not take it for granted that women are weak? That they can't take care of themselves. Is this 'gentlemanly behavior' then not very arrogant and superior. it is based on a feeling that men should distance themselves from women.

Ask women. They seem to like being treated this way, as a sign of respect.

I actually had this question come up a few days ago, with two good female friends of mine. We were all walking back from the coffee shop, and I had to take a bus home, and they had to go back to my old dorm. I offered to walk them back, and they both asked me why I would think that way.

One of the ladies can lift me, I know because she tried. Of course it helps that I am pretty small. I told her that I offered, because that is how I was raised, to offer the courtesy to women, and not because I thought they could not handle themselves.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but the women I know all appreciate chivalry.

This is a stupid thread. The reasons you have posted, while true perhaps are merely symptomatic of the conservative disposition that puts it behind the more liberal tide of feminism ( ). Bad troll I'm afraid .

i still don't like the vietnamese flag. they just haven't the foggiest what makes a good flag, do they? red bars on yellow fields, or yellow star on red field? ick.

but by the way, tripledoc, thanks for teaching me the great truth of it all. because men showing any sort of respect for women, like holding the door open for them when it's frigid cold, or covering the pizza order 'cause it's damn cold and she doesn't want to go to the atm, or helping them home after they get absolutely hammered is merely another form of masculine dominance over femininity and secretly shows hatred of all womankind, men should stop being nice to women and always be *******s.

but if men aren't nice to women, they're evil *******s.

ah, **** it. i don't know what to believe anymore. boys are stupid and we should throw rocks at them.

oh, and you had no idea huh? MrFun

I freak ppl out all the time. I come of as "granola", or so my mom says. So, everyone thinks I am some leftist hippie. Just the other month a friend for about 4 years learned that I was a Republican and she about lost it. She went on a tirade about "how can YOU be a repub"? I just smiled and told her I don't talk about politics much, and I am not about to with someone acting like her... She added that she didn't normally get along with republicans, only to have husband tell her that he was one!!!

It was like everyone came out of the closet at once!

like a line from x-men2:

"have you ever tried... not being a republican?"
