One hundred women are not worth a single testicle.

[edededed]

Wow, some of these quotes are just plain mean:

"Any woman who acts in such a way that she cannot
give birth to as many children as she is capable of,
makes herself guilty of that many murders."
St. Augustine (354-430 CE)

I mean, chee, does that mean that every girl should try to get pregnant as soon as they are 12 or so, and remain that way (do not nurse at all, as that would prevent impregnation) until menopause?

This quote is much nicer, if simple (it does not say how much, too):

"Men are superior to women."
The Koran (c. 650)

Other quotes are of the type of wishful thinking, like so:

"A proper wife should be as obedient as a slave."
and "The female is a female by virtue of a certain
lack of qualities - a natural defectiveness."
Aristotle (384-322 BCE)

Well, SURE, it would be nice if they followed the desires of husband at his whim, but...

I AM glad to see that a lot of the chauvinism I see in Japan basically reflects this - meaning that they are just on a different timeline, and perhaps have hope!

i forget the comedian, but i remember the line:
"i don't know what women have to complain about--they've got half the money and all the pussy!"

I'll give you another comedian:

misogyny.com?

lol

and people wonder why this shit is so deeply ingrained in our social constructs.
Even today, despisement of women is promoted openly thought many hip hop artists pieces and especially through urban music.
As well, there are still to this day many in religious organizations who spout this antiquated tripe daily!

From a historical perspective, it is an interesting collection of quotations; however before we get mad, we have to consider that moral philosophy is an ever changing and ever evolving process, regardless of what anyone smacking a holy manual might tell you. That said, it is really only trivia that these guys felt the way they did about women. For the times they lived in, this probably wasn’t divergent thinking. Things change over time. We here in the US are probably going to look like fucking barbarians in another couple of decades, if we don’t already. I certainly won’t waste any time trying to hold people from so long ago under my own ethical magnifying glass. The majority of us have been born into a world where women pull there own weight and are just as capable of doing the work of any man. The quotes are just historical, and nothing to get upset about.

See we are all equal, now if you will excuse me, I think I’ll watch those naked chicks, that graham posted, jump out of the plane a few more times.

I'm pretty sure the Qur'an doesn't actually say "men are superior to women" without a qualifying statement related to that and a topic upon which that is based. The Qur'an addresses men and women equally in most all matters and the only verse that I know of that has been construed as "men are superior to women" is one that actually says this: Qur'an 4:34 "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property." Here's a commentary on the verse in question: http://www.themodernreligion.com/women/ ... afaat.html

It's nice to think and believe that this thinking is antiquated and a non-issue, but that is not the reality.
There is still a huge amount of non-egalitarian behaviour all over the world and still in western industrialized nations as well!

The glass ceiling still pushes women to lower tiers in business, religion and politics.

There is no true equality in practice no matter how many would say there is.
We are a ways off from it in actuality.

Our cultural icons in many forms of media practice misogyny openly and without giving it a second thought.
Women who get involved in willfully exploiting themselves hold up the thinking as well.
People who exploit women into the ideas as expressed by various misogynistic thinkers and writers shoot themselves in the back with their own behaviours! lol

Don't kid yourself. Hatred of women is alive and well on planet earth.'Perhaps not in your own mind, but, it behooves us each to check ourselves now and then to that effect.

[Interloper]

Hatred is the product of fear and ignorance, same as any bigotry. Men (and patriarchal cultures) who hate women often do so because of fear of their own drives and emotions which they do not understand and thus blame on the women.

[Darth Rock&Roll]

True, but it's a double edged sword.

there are of course women who hate men for all the same reasons. IE: ignorance and fear.

I don't think this will resolve for another generation or two imo.

we, in the present are too bound to our parentage.

The kids kids will have broken away from our thinking though, as we have broken from the thinking of our great grandparents as far as the societal construct and moral norms go.

as the saying goes, "teach your children well".

What I get from this is that women haven't changed in over 2500 years.

[Darth Rock&Roll]

but Bill! you haven't been around for 2500 years and all you have to go on are the writings and thought forms drawn from patriarchal constructs.
