there is a concept called "the Infantilization of Women",,, it might even be a book. it talks about how, from infancy, girls are disempowered socially, never seen as "grown up", and if one does somehow manage to mature, is denigrated as being 'Butch' , or crude, grasping, and worse. this is why i refuse to stand by and say nothing when women are called "girls" and worse: "chicks".

change only comes when the balance of power is tipped. the feminist movement in the 60's and 70's resulted in major changes in the Law and social practice. but with time we are sliding back into the horrors of ownership and domination of women. if you agree that women have many superior social qualities, say so~! any study of biology will show that women are better equipped for survival, more able to tolerate stress, less aggressive and combative... let us celebrate these things, and focus on the positive~!
