Great contest idea!!!
A couple of thoughts to help set the mood:
If a man speaks in the forest, and there's no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?
It is so illogical for men to classify women as weak and illogical, I mean for pity's sake, women don't speak to breasts.
How illogical is it when you're lost to absolutely refuse to ask directions...does this stem from an actual belief that if they don't admit that they don't know everything then that somehow means that they do?
Men are so simplistic. Saying women are so emotional, with no concept that pride, jealousy, competativeness, territorialism, stubbornness, anger, egotism and lust are emotions too.
How illogical is it when caught red-handed to deny doing what you have been witnessed doing, and then get angry because you're called a liar immediately after having been caught in a lie?
How illogical is it to insist on attempting to assemble something you don't know how to assemble without consulting the instructions, when the instructions are right there?
Have you ever seen a woman put her hands over her ears and go LA LA LA LA LA LA LA at the top of her lungs in order to avoid hearing the winning point in an arguement, then sit there smugly afterward as if this behavior has somehow furthered her case?
Who's stronger, someone who can get the lid off a pickle jar, or someone who can bleed for a week without dying?
I'll let you decide. -

wats a feminist?

The best way I can explain "feminist"...
Hey, help me out, feminists! But in the meantime... A feminist is a woman who feels empowered on her own, without men to lean on. For instance, Cinderella might decline marrying the Prince because she may have felt she did nothing to really earn his attention, and wanted to prove her own worth in a better way.
Little Red Riding Hood would not be tricked by the wolf. She would see through his wicked plans and get revenge in some clever way.
