mob1 let’s change a few words in your statement.

I am glad to see that some blacks can except that fact that some races are different and that one race can do things better than the other.
I guess the others are upset because they are not WHITE and want to be WHITE so bad that it drives them crazy inside.

See what you said is SEXIST & if you change a few words it’s racist.

Every person is different. I would love to see Clay Aiken work constrution. My point being just because you’re a man doesn’t make you better or stronger than a woman!!

O well whatever I’m not arguing anymore. Trying to change a chauvinist’s mind is like trying to hold the tide back w/ a broom.

Why is it so important that woman be EQUAL to men? I pray that if I ever become man’s equal, someone just shoot me. As for jobs, I have never worked where I did not receive regular raises at least every two month not because I was a woman, but because I did my job. Heaven help me if I ever had to sue someone to pay me because I was a woman and a man made more. that would just tell me I wasn’t working up to par.

RM: I am glad to see that some women can except that fact that the sex’s are different and that one sex can do things better than the other.
I guess the others are upset because they are not men and what to be a man so bad that it drives them crazy inside.

Sorry kx and glambitz-I’m 100% girl and think it is funny as heck that it made the boy look inferior to a girl. I think the story did nothing but promote the fact that girls can do anything (well, except for maybe a couple) that boys can, and DO IT BETTER. Why not be proud that she gave it to him, and they PICKED ON HIM for it. See, a joke. Perhaps Roseanne was saying “she’s a girl” with PRIDE in her voice, not condemnation. I can do some things better than my husband and I pick about it, just like everyone knows he is the cook here, and I get ribbed about that. BIG DEAL. Go take some Midol…

If everyone wants her to be EQUAL to a man, she needs to have one of those operations. Then she will be equal, until then she is female and the other male and NOT equal.

OK, glam now you are starting to twist this story way out of context. NO on the news or on this board said qoute “A man is better than a woman” Your trying to twist qoute’s to fit your pointless argument about this news story.

As for what Rosan Haven said, WAKE UP, she was praising the young girl for being a Champion in a prodomanitly male sport. I to would Stress that it was a woman champion out of Praise for her accomplishment.

Trying to bring “race” into this, WHY?
I do not have a problem with you or anyone standing up for what you believe in, but nit picking like you are just to prove a point will turn people away from supporting your stands.

mob1 in referance to the comment about kids in elementary school, if a bunch of white kids started telling a black kid we are better than you because we are white, it would make national news & Al Sharpton would be on CNN telling how racism is still alive. so why can’t I as a woman stand up for the fact that I am equal to a man?

rmseek1234 a sense of humor? are you serious? How is it funny to make a woman feel inferior to a man?

I wonder how both of you treat your wives?

Btw when they were introing the story Rose Ann Haven said we have the big time racing champion & she’s a girl. So it wasn’t just Randy Patrick who said it. It is just as inappropriate for her to say as it is Randy Patrick.

OO come on when I was in elamentry and middle school we guys use to pick on each other if a girl got one up on a guy. Its something guys say to pick on each other, its not directed as an insult to a woman. If anything its praising the girl for winning again a guy. I for one was not raised to believe Men are better then women. So your saying my father tought me the so called Idiology that Men are better.. Don’t flatter yourself!!
I do not argue that fact that sexism exist at times, but for God sack folks like you need to stop using that term at every little comment or act that is made. I do believe if a man and woman are duing the same exact job they should be paid equally, but at the same time if one has more education than the other why shouldn’t that person be paid more whether its a guy or girl.
Folks like you stating this every chance you get is what gives the claim at bad Rap.

And about the elementary school kids…
When someone thinks it is “funny” that a guy is beat by a girl, it is because that person believes that women are inferior to men. That is obviously a LEARNED ideology that has been keeping women down since the beginning of time.

Sexism is alive and well, and it pains me to see that Randy is part of it. I was actually awarded a sum of money from a national pizza chain because they were paying an under-qualified male employee a significantly larger amount than I.
