Well, I knew I should've kept my mouth shut, before i even typed that. I'll just be blunt. I am not a feminist. I probably share some of their views, but I am not a feminist. I have always seen it as female rights, like you say, but I am for human rights. As cliche as that may sound, yes, i do believe that all people can and should be equal. there's a lot of detail and stuff that I don't want to get into. it's a whole debate that may never be won, and i'm the type of person who doesn't care to debate all that much. When I was typing that comment, I didn't mean to affend anyone. It was jsut one of those fly-out-of-the-mouth comments. Nothing bad intended..

fam "i hate when people take me the wrong way." ous

p.s. this isn't necessarily intended straight at you Dagmar. Just something I needed to say.
