Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

You accuse me of thinking in black and white, yet all you can see is "traditional woman = property=bad."
Originally posted by Siggie View PostIf they marry for the right reasons and knowing each other well enough at the outset, why would they be getting divorced at all?

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.
Originally posted by Sip View PostIn what sense? The traditional middle class wife certainly couldn't vote, couldn't hold property, didn't really have any freedom to pursue any of her self interests. So how did she have it "better"?
Prove for me please, the following. But first, lets define a few terms.
Traditional woman = any woman in the US prior to the hit of mainstream feminism. Meaning, any woman before 1960s
So, prove that
1) Women prior to 1960 couldn't vote
2) Women prior to 1960 couldn't hold property
3) Women prior to 1960 didn't have any freedoms
4) Women prior to 1960 couldn't pursue their interests
Now, be sure to be accurate in your conclusions. Make sure not to compare an average woman to a well off man. If you're making any assertions about a middle class woman, then they should be in comparison to a middle class man. Similarly, when discussing a lower class woman, it should be in comparison to a lower class male, and finally when discussing an upper class woman make sure it's in comparison to an upper class man.
Now, to make things even better, please make sure to discuss 1-4) for each of the following: lower class women, middle class women and upper class women.
....Go. If you prove that you're not full of sh!t, we'll continue from there.

Originally posted by levon View PostBecause no woman is ever happy with an ass-kissing wimp.
Originally posted by levon View PostAnd where do you get the idea that a traditional man treats his wife as personal property. As for what I said, read again, I mean during sex.
And lets not kid ourselves, 99% of women would settle with a wealthy guy, regardless of how he treated her.
She better behave as he sees fit? If you treat people as if they don't have mind and will of their own, then you're essentially treating them like property.
Originally posted by levon View PostThat's what every other western woman says. That is until divorce, then suddenly all his flaws start to matter. Love doesn't last long enough for a marriage to succeed. Genuine love is bullsh!t.
Two smart people, equity in the relationship, mutual respect, two incomes and so enough money... that really eliminates most things people split over.

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.
Originally posted by levon View PostTraditional middle class wife had it much better than a modern middle class wife.
Originally posted by levon View PostFeminism was embraced and affected mostly middle class women. But, feminism was never about women.
Originally posted by levon View PostAnd yes, while an individual woman may be smart, a group of women can be no different than a group of sheep. This applies to people in general, not just women.

Originally posted by Siggie View PostOR two people can find what arrangement works best for BOTH of them in their relationship.
You're assuming the "modern woman's" life wouldn't be happy as well. It all depends on what we value as individuals.
Originally posted by Siggie View PostIf a man thought of me as personal property and didn't treat me like a person with wants, needs, thoughts, etc. I wouldn't care if he was raining money on me, hired a full-time housekeeper for me, or gave me all the material things I could possibly want, I would walk because he wouldn't be giving me the most important tangible of all...respect.
And lets not kid ourselves, 99% of women would settle with a wealthy guy, regardless of how he treated her.
Originally posted by Siggie View PostThat's what Sip was talking about... I can take care of myself, so I don't need to tolerate that kind of thing.
On the plus side, the guy I end up will know that I'm with him because I genuinely love him and not being "taken care of."
Originally posted by SipIf the traditional wife had it soooooooo good, why did feminism come about? Why did so many women embrace this change so whole heartedly? Were they, are they, all idiots? Did they all make irrational decisions?
Propaganda is meant for a group not for individuals.Last edited by levon; 06-02-2011, 12:59 PM.

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.
Originally posted by levon View PostHmm, a traditional guys wife = wife has an easy life where she does a little housework, a little cooking, goes shopping and knows she'd never have to bust her ass for anything if she doesn't want to. She's free to pursue her interests, that is until kiddies come. You better believe it that in return the traditional guy expects her to behave as he sees fit, and doesn't take sh!t from her. He might treat her as his personal property (during sex, and you better believe how much she loves just that). Most women would happily trade places with "traditional" guys wife.
Now, how many guys would trade place with modern woman's husband? Only the complete retards.

Originally posted by Sip View PostCome on .. be honest ... you copied this out of one of those generic self evaluation quizes out of a women's magazine, right? The language sort of reminds me of the "horoscope" type drivels that you see all over the place
Originally posted by Sip View PostI haven't followed this thread much but I could only hope there are a lot more women in academia like Siggie. And for the record, "ending up alone" is really not so bad if the alternative is ending up with a "traditional" type of guy that treats women like his property.
Now, how many guys would trade place with modern woman's husband? Only the complete retards.
