Guest it is just me but I like men who think like men. As a women, I think men are kind of cool the way they are. Also, I'm not so sure that women always put kindness first.

You do have a point there.
Although I've found that since I had children, I tend to be more inclined to kindness than not.
So maybe it's not a matter of thinking like a woman but thinking like a mother ???

Maybe it is thinking like parent. No one can seem kinder or gentler than a father playing with or teaching something to his child.

Not to sound too condecending, but equality really is showed very well by the captain.

I am in no way condoning violence against women. Violence against anyone is wrong regardless of sex.

But Captain Malcolm Reynolds never forced his hand with a woman from what was shown in Firefly. He always asserted himself equally regardless of sex. And as for striking Yo/Saf/Bridg; I would done the same. He dealt with her as he would have dealt with any man. I'm sure he woulda shot her a few times if there were an absolute need.

So here is my view on equality: Women should be allowed into predominantly male everything. Any person that can get the job done well should be allowed to do so. Women have just as much right to die horribly as any man.

So in the coming years I will be more equality minded. Following the good Captains lead I'll be sure that if ever attacked, regardless of sex, the punches to the head I deal will be swift and without remorse.

*Please take this however you may. I do not condone violence but recognize that not all conflicts can be resolved without it. I do believe that Nathan Fillion is a dynamic, caring, and just individual. He is one of but a few celebrities who has truly found their way to my heart. I just find some of the piece to be a bit condecending.*

Wow, does this whole thing miss the point.

The fact of the matter is that if one looks at where the *vast* majority of violence is coming from (the dregs of society), the women are just as violent as the men.

Also, when one looks at where the least violence is coming from (the highly educated), the women are just as forceful (non-violently) as the men with just as little violence.

This is _not_ a insignificant.

This whole thing has extremely little to do with sex and what the difference is in how sexes are brought up. It has everything to do with the environment in which people are brought up in i.e. generally speaking, if one is brought up in a violent environment they become a violent person, but if one is brought up in a relatively peaceful environment (and gets educated), they become a non-violent person.

As a general rule: Education and upbringing in a non-violent environment breeds peaceful behaviour regardless of sex.

Quite frankly, I'm getting really really sick of this "a very specific part of society has a problem so lets attack this problem in this very specific part of society completely ignoring the fact that this problem isn't specific to this very specific part of society in any way shape or form especially considering the way that it is being presented" BS.

If we want people to be less violent, then we have to change society so that these violent pockets get smaller. The long term solution (b/c there is no short term one) is increasing the quality of education and getting parents to instill respect for education in there children.

If this is done, we'll be seeing (lasting) returns in a decade or two. But, to really see things happening, we'll have to wait till the new quality teachers start teaching and the next generation grows up.

I know that this doesn't appeal to the instant gratification people (read: most people), but there really isn't another way. After all, we're talking about changing society, not ordering KFC.

My reference to "male behaviour" was merely an extension of what is stated in the Martin Firrell project.
No haters here. I likes menz.
No doubt there are pockets in society (all genders) who could use an attitude adjustment.
Apparently this project only addresses the male persuasion.

Ok, srsly, am I the ONLY one who thought that kinda sucked? I'm serious. Get to the freaking POINT already. At least if it was on YouTube, I could zip through the music till it got to words...

I take it you aren't the art show type

Thats okay, I'm not either although I wouldn't say it even kinda sucked. I liked it. Not sure of the point of the gray bars though. :shrug: I like the sentiment behind it though (A LOT!) and I'm glad Nathan is taking part in something very, very positive. Redifing masculine role models, especially in the main stream media and popular video entertainment, absolutely has to be done. Kudos all around IMHO.
