What Has Happened To The Fairer Sex?

[valteena]

It's been the innate believe that women are natural carers and nurturers and therefore viewed as not capable of evil and abuse of children. That being a woman and a mother, women are genetically programmed to protect children and not to harm them. But lately we've witnessed increased abuse of this natural instinct to protect in women, resulting in some very gory news of women's violence and abuse of children.

We see women having sex with young boys, women murdering or aiding the murder of children and women sexually abusing babies both theirs and other peoples's(that is women as perverts, peadophiles).

Expects say that women are responsible for as high as 20 percent of sexual offences against children. A very worrying figure indeed.

I just don't get it? what is happening to women folks today? What happened to their milk of baby love and kindness? Are women more violent and criminally inclined today than they were before?, what is responsible for the emergence of so many bad women?.

Valteena:
I tend to think of statements like "women are the fairer sex" , "women are not capable of evil" ..etc., which are promoted mainly in patriarchal societies , as some kind of sugar-coated poison for women to swallow, realizing too late that beyond its external sweetness lies the bitter taste of gender discrimination.

Given the chance women are as capable as men to do great or evil things. And nowadays women seem to be getting more chances to do both.

Word!

It is all about controlling female behavior.

I don't think so wonderer women's propensity for evil is not equal to a man's. Even, investigators who studied this incidence of abuse by women believe that most often than not, female abusers and peadophiles are more likely to be acting under the influence of a man and I agreee. The male peadophile for instance is sexually driven, I think the woman is not. She is more driven by the some form of hardship or compliance with a man.

That's an interesting view, Ms Wonderer. But may I ask that you temper this view of yours with the following thought: that, indeed, there are people out there who mean well with their own views - people (men, as well as women) who take serious exception to treating a woman in the same way a man should be treated when it comes to certain instances, all steming from this same view of the woman as that special "fairer sex".

To use the concept of equality to reject their view, for example, will make it "normal" for a man to retaliate by punching the bejeezuz out of a woman who had just sucker-punched him - as in just like he would punch a man who had the effrontery to sucker-punch him. To reject their view, again, is to reject the veneration given to the Female Essence as the other source of life (besides the Almighty's) in most societies around the world.

There is nothing wrong in deeming the Female as that special, dainty flower -- the beauty of nature from which all life springs -- who is to be pampered and protected for who she is as the nurturer of life. It is my opinion that the Woman would always be special for as long as Man exists, 'Ladies First' and all that good stuff. It is the way nature has deemed it, from the birds in the tree to the chimps in the woods.

What may be ill-advised, though, might be the over-the-top reaction to the excesses of others (who see the veneration of the female as excuse to 'protect' the female by denying her of her God-given rights and privileges). Two wrongs make NO right. One can still afford to treat the disease of inequality without wrecking what nature has ordained: that the female is special; that she is to be wooed; that she is to be loved and cared for.

Oh well that's only a personal philosophy for some of us.

Auspicious.

Idahota:
I am not sure if you are saying that women are inherently less capable of being evil than men, or that in general women are socialized to be so? If it is the latter than I think we agree.

I really haven't read the studies you are referring to, if it is possible/easy would you please share some related online links?

Auspicious:

In my opinion, what you described is how men interpreted nature and it is not necessary the only interpretation.

I believe that human beings in general are special. And I don't think it is only because of any biological function, but simply because of who they are.

And I wonder who is to decide what are these "God-given rights and privileges"? "Men" of God?

Finally yes I agree with you that it is a personal philosophy.
