“How about standing up for those who canât stand up for themselves, Rekrul? Women are more likely to need advocates than men in this sort of situation. Stand for the weak.”

They’re too weak to put a toilet seat down?

@ Stray Mongrel completely agree, people should just stop bringing politics into what is normally demonstrated in our daily lives (rarely though) as human compassion

Why do people start organizations like this that discriminate among the human population? Isn’t fighting poverty among the human race, regardless of gender or race enough?

This type of thinking consistently perpetuates the imbalance that exists in any given poll statistic. I bet there is no clause that states this organization will broaden it’s criteria when statistics reach 50% equal with male genders. I bet they had to play the gender card to get funding for this, which is a shame. Any poor or illiterate, regardless of gender should motivate people to do something to help.

If you are going to help people, then help people, and stop narrowing the categories to specific sets of people.

Why is it that women say they want equal rights, but yet they still insist that men put the toilet seat down? Why should men have to raise and lower it every time? Wouldn’t a more equal solution be for men to leave it up and women to leave it down?

let’s also count how many used the court system to put innocent people behind bars just cause they dont like them or extracted huge lumps of money out their ex husbands.
