Men Vrs Women when it comes to politics

I seem to think that perhaps men are more active online, or more political all together, or are women more conditioned towards apathy.

I'm in love with a girl who really has no political view at all, that bothers me but not enough to change my feelings ablut her but still.


I personally think women look at these issues on a more direct level, they usually only become angry at the goverment when they are being directly affected by goverment policies.

Thoughts?

I dont know I think it depends on what country and where in that country you live. Men tend to be in politics more that is for certain. As far as being activist go I haven't seen as wide of a gap. I see more women fighting for certain things like animal rights and about an even divide on environmental issues or being against the war. But I see more men involved in economic issues, race issues, religious issues, and 911. However I have ben fighting Zionism for a decade and fighting DU and all and I do me ALL of my fellow activists are female. I think men are on computers more than women. This sounds silly but I think the initial reason for many men was porn, and from that they learned general web abilities and matured. Nearly all the major anti-war web sites and 911 truth websites are run my males. But I look at seperate computer things. Most video gamers are men. And that has nothing to do with ppolitics. It could be that men enjoy computers more or something. Women like to talk face to face and I see them plenty at protest and on the street. I just dont see them much online.

I will say this. men and women tend to be more evenly active how ever young men are far more active than girls. I think young women in the US are GENERALLY the most self absorbed group of sissies on earth.

Then why dont you become locally active, I'm still in highschool but I've organized a private protest against HR 6166, and have fliers posted all over. And I live in a republican state too.

I think you may have a point about the internet Ry, one things for sure men are more active online than women. Perhaps your porn theory holds some ground on the issue, hard to say for certain.

Women think more emotionally, men logically.

Apathy is really winning this whole thing. That in conjunction with idiocy. Although I'm getting a very good response from the majority of the people in my school.

Good public speaking is a very very good tool. I'm working on getting myself and friends to do a presentation during lunch, it will have to take more than one person due to more than one lunch so it will take huge organization. I'm also planning on making small pamphlets with the technical facts about 9-11.

Just remember you need a hook to get their attention and then hold it.

I am. I started an Anti-Neocons club at my school, and we hosted Freedom to Fascism by Aaron Russo. Protests won't work, because the schools too apathetic, and what few members we have rarely even come to the club meetings

I'm also in the ACLU Youth Group.

No matter what I try, though, nobody cares. It's not even an "us vs them" sort of thing; it's more like a "me vs everything" because I can't convince people to stop being ignorant. Today, at an Amnesty International meeting where we were doing letter-writing, someone in my group told me she didn't want me to write the letter because I run the anti-neocons club and I'm some sort of anarchist. I can't believe that believing in the Constitution and pointing out violations of it somehow makes me some kind of "anarchist"...sadly, I'd expect the same kind of crap out of an adult.

It's getting harder and harder to find people who give a sh*t, I guess, is my point.
Thus is naturally follows that democracy is a load of shit and most people are better off enslaved, anyways.

It's too bad that our society is one of slaves holding the reins of other slaves.

Speak louder, the point is dont give up. They have their preconcieved notions so you must make them look at FACTS that disprove these ideas.

Just dont give up man.

Well Iconoclast if you think everyone should ultimately be enslaved, then who pretell should be in charge?

Totaltarianism is short lived and has failed on every attempt proving your idealogy to be flawed.

However I understand where you come from, and heres a thought, what if we are all outrageously stupid.

Not a single person on the planet is capable of competent thought and the only reason we are considered Genius, smart, or intelligent is simply due to very low standards.

It doesn't matter if we "all" are "outrageously stupid". Some people are better than others, way better than others. So smart and stupid are relative terms that mean nothing outside of the human standards. I, however, am capable of competent thought and it should be noted that my rightful place is upon the throne with a scepter in my right and a bunch of grapes in my left.

The smart, strong, noble, etc. should rule. They'll have to get in power themselves. They probably won't be voted in (very unlikely but possible).

In fact, you're wrong -- our form of democracy/republicanism is simply a modern fad that lasts because of increasing restrictions, perpetuation of slothy slaves, capitalism, and the technology used by said mouthbreathers. In fact, democracy has shown to be an almost unequivocal failure as it has led to a culmination of shitty philosophies, poor artwork, poor genetics, and so on. Monarchs, dictators, unelected tribal chieftans, high priests, aristocrats, etc., have all existed throughout history far longer and much more widespread than democracy has.
