I posted this on my EP account (I Want to Get Pregnant Group).  Tell me what you think about it:

***

I think this is one of the most wonderful reasons why being a woman is so much fun. You are a nurturer and a cradle of life. I consider motherhood and womanhood as a blessing. My version of feminism is different from the kind of feminism that you will get to read in books, magazines and most of the websites. For me, feminism is not about gender bending. It is about giving the same importance to women and empowering them. It is about empowering the female or the womb power and making women love themselves for who they are. 

Women can do sports, manage a business, take leadership roles, and excel in fields outside the home. But you can never compare them to men. They are different from them, yet they are equals. Women are the cradles and nurturers of life. Men are designed to protect it.

Some people ask, why is there a limited opportunities for women when it comes to some fields like the military? Why aren't women allowed in direct combats? Why don't they allow females in the U.S. Navy seals? Why is it that the Navy, Marine and the Airforce are so sexist and chauvinist?

Number 1: Military fields are not sexist. They are just being realistic. 

Number 2: Can a 100 pound female soldier lift a 180 pound wounded male soldier in the battle field? 

Number 3: What will happen to the human race if the females are killed in the battle, just because they are placed in direct combat? I think that's the easiest way to eradicate a race from the face of the earth. You kill first the females, then the children... and figure out if you can copulate with your fellow male soldiers. 

I think it is high time for us, women, to accept the fact that men in general, excel in these fields better than us. They are more physically able, taller and bigger. I'm not saying that we are inferior. We are just different. Our bodies are designed to NURTURE life. Besides, placing women in direct combat is violence against women. It is NOT empowerment. 

Real feminism is about balance. The female and male powers should be balanced. I don't believe in a matriarchal or a patriarchal society. For me, the womb and phallic powers should harmoniously dwell with each other. There is no superior sex. We are just different. 

Herunder are the comments:

Comment 1: 

They have been allowing women into direct combat since 1996 or so. I KNOW a female Navy Seal. 
Even if women are in combat; the only kind of war that could lower the number of females enough to jeopardize the human race's hold on this planet is one in which it doesn't matter if women are in combat or in kitchens...

My reply: 

I will research about that. I just read that there are no female Navy seals. I will ask a navy chief who is a very good friend of mine. 

Well, like I say, women and men have the right to do what they want to do with their lives. Feminism should be about giving the women a choice. But it should not be always about gender bending. It is more than gender bending. It is about empowerment and choice.

In this day and age, women have proven their capabilities. Take the Philippines for example. We have female presidents, politicians, leaders, scientists, business women, CEOs, professionals, and others who continue to shape our society. 

Mothers hold the money bag in the family. Women directly or indirectly run the family businesses. If France had Joan of Arc, we had Gabriela Silang who led soldiers to battles. 

Women and men are different, yet they are equal. 

In sports and military fields, men in general excel better, but that doesn't mean that women are inferior. Men are just designed to protect. While women are the cradles and nurturers of life. 

The physical structure of a woman's body is very different from that of a man. That is why we have women's division in sports. Men have bigger bones. They are taller and physically stronger too. That doesn't make them a superior sex though. There is no superior sex. It's just that they are designed to protect.

Now my assignment is to find out if there are women in the Navy Seals. I think I have to learn more about the Issues on Gender Differences. I posted on my EP my views about Feminism and recieved both positive and negative feedback. The comments and messages that I received made me think more seriously as a Feminist.  

I am joining the family fun run which is organized by the newly elected members of the student council Dominic, my gay friend is joining too. I am very pleased with the first project the new officers have for us, graduate students. We are thriving in a very stressful world and we need this.

Love  my new friends. Shane, Lyn and Ruth are the coolest girls in the grad school. I love hanging with them.

I like this site. I am tired of the gossips that I have to deal with on Facebook. Fubar is different. I can be what I want to be without caring if it will hurt my reputation. Here, I have every right to be myself. I can be what I want to be. No one will care. No one will talk behind my back. No one will make me a butt of jokes if I get a lousy guy as my boyfriend. I am free here.

I don't want to please everybody. I am tired of that. All my life I've been this goody-good girl who is always smiling even if she is being bashed, bullied or picked on. I am tired of playing that role and I will never again let myself be a victim. It's high time that I get a life, far from phony people and disloyal friends who are only true to you when they need something from you.I'm not saying that all my friends are phonies. It's not like that. What I want to do is to limit my circle of friends to those who are true to me. I don't need a lot of friends. I just need the real ones. All I want is a peaceful life with the people who truly care for me.

Hmm..

That's the reason why I am on this site. This somehow serves as my santuary. It's weird. The atmosphere isn't exactly the place that I've been looking for, but it's perfect. I am enjoying it. So far, it has helped me calm my nerves when I am being tempted to do hara - kiri or commit suicide (Lol! Just kidding. I'm not that desperate).

Majority of the Fubar users are Americans, thus,  I did not expect that I would be welcomed here nd gain friends (I am from the Philippines). But they are friendly. I enjoy talking to them. I admit that there was one guy who, in a way, had insulted me because he thought that I was the kind of Asian who chase Military guys, but he is only one and he does not represent the whole Fubar community. I get to chat with really nice cool people who have accepted me as I am -- an Asian.

And oh.. before I forget. I am not here to get myself a boyfriend or chase a soldier. Soldiers are hot, but they are not the purpose why I am here. I am here for a new environment, new people, friends, and a way to forget my personal problems and move on.

My internet life has provided me a way to have my social lfe back. This is my form of socialization since work and grad school are taking most of my time.

So there...

I think that's all for now. It's getting late and I need rest.
