Do you believe that the National Organization for Women has a positive impact on society?

It is just another feminist organization trying to change the society and make it equal. But have we not seen the surge in porn, from online to off line to corner stores in our city? How the woman is used and abused in each and every one of the vids? \n\nThat is their impact for giving the 18 year old young girls the choice to be what they want to be.

Do you believe that there's actually a positive difference?

Not really. Even though we've screwed up a lot of things in the world, I think that we're still making progress. Do you really want to go back to the days where people of color were lynched, the Soviet Union painted a big target on the U.S. and women didn't have the right to make choices about their own bodies or their lives? No thanks.

Feminism is killing everything decent about the world. Fortunately it can't last. It will self destruct and then we'll all get back to reality: most men and women are fundamentally different and operate best in different roles.

i'm a guy 36.  sometimes i do think it has been pushed too far.  (for a lack of a better term)  many women have bought into it and they have worked extremely hard for those equal rights that they do deserve.  the thing is that some didn't know and didnt' realize that it cost them so many other things.  i beleive that some women had to become so strong for those rights that it might of cost them a few good relationships and maybe even a family.

I would have to say no. A lot of the things they do are there to help us, and a lot do. But then there are a lot of things that don't. We need a change in this country. A reform. Maybe a revolution. The corrupted needs to be cleaned up.

I want to say that I am glad to hear women who don't feel opressed.\n\nA little history on the subject....\n\nMany years ago in the US women didn't have all the same priviledges as men.  They couldn't vote or do several others things men could.  The feminist movement rose up and brought about equal priviledges in these areas.  This was a good thing to happen.\n\nAfter that the more radical people in the movement have continued to feel opressed and voice that opinion.  Just because they feel that way doesn't mean they are anymore.  But, in the US small voices can speak very loudly and have a significant impact on things.\n\nMuch of this modern femenist movement looks down on staying home to raise kids, cooking meals, etc.  They tend to look at it as a unisex with the working world as the place to be and if you aren't in it you are opressed.\n\nThis is of course just a point of view.  Cooking can be great fun (I am a guy who loves it).  Raising kids is a joy that people who work miss out on parts of.\n\nI look at my mom.  She doesn't have to do certain labors cause my dad does.  She had the priviledge to stay home with the kids because my dad worked.  She got to be with us kids more often because of that and it's something my dad missed out on.  My dad working gave her so many priviledges in life.\n\nModern psychology, biology, and sociology show that men and women are different.  They crave different things.  Their brains even react differently to different things.  They are physically build differenlty making them more physically suited for certain tasks.  They are chemically different inside.  This also shows that men think more physically and spacially.  It's part of the difference in brain operation.  This is part of the reason men like physical labor more.  The male body is phycially built that way from muscle structure to brain activity.  In turn women are built to carry children and have the chemical and brain structure for a stronger connection to those children.\n\nThis contradicts the unisex idea that we are the same except for our reproductive organs but many deny this.\n\nIt's really a product of the modern feminist movement.

No.  Like you say, I have sources to prove the negative effects, reams and reams of them ... and not one positive one ... can only come to the conclusion that for the ordinary men and women of this nation, there ARE no positive effects ....

Nope.\nTo see people, period, coming together is a great thing. It's changed so much over the past few decades...and will continue too. It's a beautiful thing!

Personally, I think it's a very strange statement.  Both sexes have had enormous impact on humanity down through history.  We can learn much from both men and women.

Yes I have, and if you want to make a difference in some one's life it's a very good organization to work for. You may want to also look into the peace corp or Americorps.

In the past that was true that women were less able to generate a reasonable living wage. I don't see that as a problem today. Men and women are entering the work force with the same education and while I do think that there is still a "good old boy" mentality, most women are able to compete with men in many areas of employment and receive the same pay. I was a class A welder at a factory so that I could afford to support my son. I made the same pay rate as the guy's I worked with and did the same work. I got tired of damn near killing my self on a daily basis so I went to college and got a degree in nursing. I am a managing RN for a hospice and I make more money than many men I know. So, I am not sure who is still complaining, but it's not me. Have a good one.

If you're talking about throughout the course of history, I imagine it that it helped bring the two genders closer together in terms of equality after it became generally accepted for women to receive higher education.\n\nA few hundred/thousand years ago, the only voters were property owners (white males).  Nowdays, at least more people are aware of the different types of inequalities that exist.

Women already help run this world. We never asked for absolute power. Just equal pay for equal work. How cool that you would die for your ma! I hope my sons feel the same.
