Blogger "slayton" questions idea of women maturing faster than men

Here: "Who says women mature faster than men?"

Someone writes a men's oppression list

On the net, you can find a list of male priveldge. On the site Stand Your Ground you can find a list referring to men's oppression. Here it is.

Feminist Looking Glass writer takes look at Arizona school's "chivalry" lessons

I like this. Mike writes it: "Chivalry Lives" in an Arizona Classroom

I feel in strong agreement with Mike: manners are great, and ought not be gender-specific. I'd love to have girls open doors for boys and vice versa...and students and teachers too! Manners and equality ought to go hand in hand.

Mike is also right to critique NOW. They don't need to apologize for "being an angry feminist". I know some of the readers on my blog are men's rights groups and might feel NOW deserves that label. I may or may not agree with you, but without a doubt, NOW does NOT deserve that label for simply pointing out that manners and gender equality shouldn't be mutually exclusive. And I'm guessing the men's groups will back me up on that :)
