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.

    Opinionated, vocal, independent, and intelligent, but at the same time, family-oriented, modest, hard working, sympathetic to others, respectful, and honest. Probably not what you'd expect out of Western culture which you guys think churns out nothing but garbage. In Armenia, it was more the locals who looked far more painted up and looking like prostitutes. So YES, I resent it when you make sweeping generalizations about Armenian women who grew up in the West and imply that women who are feminists and/or share my views wear handkerchiefs for skirts, are selfish, look down on family, and are ashamed of being Armenian. You might find this surprising, but that's incredibly offensive!
    I guess the vocal, independent women should marry modest, dependent men to avoid divorce.

      Being with someone because you love one another and want to be together rather than "needing" the other per se. Crazy idea right? But I love it that you're concerned about the health of my relationship. Let me bask in the warmth of your well wishes for a moment too... Mmm... I invite you to return to the forum year after year until you actually have cause to be as smug as you like act. As of yet we're quite happy and smitten, thanks.


      Mos, I invite you to produce one shred of evidence to support any of that. And " many people think so too"? Really? Reality isn't voted on. And the fact that there are other who think like you isn't evidence that what you think is correct.

        In fact my posting here did't refer to you personally, but ...

        Good luck to you and your family!!!
        All the best.

          What kind of evidence would you want? Just take a look at Western European society now and compare it several decades before. You can even see similar changes with Armenia in one decade. Take a look at the status of the family unit in the West, the view towards women, and so forth. You can see clearly the effects of these Western liberal ideals. As for people thinking similarly, I urge you to view the counter protest by Armenian patriots against a "diversity march" that took place in the summer, and what some of those patriots were saying. They have similar concerns like I have voiced here.

            For starters, let's try evidence of a breakdown of family and then evidence that said breakdown was caused by "female emancipation." That should keep you busy until the foreseeable future as there is no evidence that "female emancipation" has caused any breakdown.

            And your "goals of feminism" are laughable. You're simply parroting what some privileged, undoubtedly male, imbeciles told you. If you want to know about the goals of feminists, go ask your mother and grandmothers.

              Why the developed countries are facing demographic crisis?

              Alas their culture and indigenous population soon will be eradicated out of earth and the area will be populated by immigrants of other nationalities with strong family values that preach healthy/natural women ideologies.

              The reason isn't poverty or lack of "democracy".

              West is on the way of carrying out suicide if the current feminist ideologies are not changed soon.

              Everything unnatural goes down in nature! Unnatural things/creatures can't reproduce themselves.

                How are women being men and vice-versa? I presume you don't mean that they are changing their sex chromosomes, so please explain what you mean.

                And how prey-tell can creatures living in the natural world, ever be going "against nature"? It's a logical impossibility. The fact that it occurs at all disproves your claim that it's against nature. "Res ipsa loquitur."

                    I find it very interesting that science and technology have had such a big impact on the role of women in our society. What drove women to join the workforce was not femminism nor change in family values- it was the inventions of washer, dried, refrigerator.. Once these time saving new machines became cheaply available it started to make economic sense for women to join the workforce because the daily chores no longer cost more then what she could make at work. The changing role of a woman in modern society is simply a reaction to the changes in our environment. It is wrong to hold people back from developing (including women). Women still want a man and they still want children and family but they do have more options today then they have ever had before and juggling these options is not easy. Instead of limiting options men need to participate by helping a woman manage these options. For those looking to make a family unite these options need to be discussed by both the male and the female so both understands what is expected from the other. The changes are a natural part of evolution and as usual those who evolve best to these changes will succeed while others will fail. Placing limitations on people should be done to avoid them hurting others or themselves and the evolution of the woman in our society does not have to hurt anyone. Women are not the same as men but that does not mean that they only belong in the home.

                      The whole goal of Feminism has been the removal of women from traditional gender roles, which has been viewed as "oppressive" and "unequal". I think this is pretty obvious. Of course, over time that Feminism has developed into something worse and into something dangerous for conservative cultures that still revolve around the family unit. If you have a movement that advocates this for women, how can you expect your traditional family unit to be maintained?

                      I know also Feminism attempts to create this equality between men and women, but the reality is men and women are fundamentally different, in their biology, psychology, etc. So men and women can never be "equal", though of course both are equal citizens in the eyes of the law.

                      You will notice that in many women in the West a certain innocence has been lost in women, modesty in both behaviour and dress, the dedication to family and family values. Compare such Western women to let's say Muslim women and the difference is rather clear. Of course not all Western women are like this, but a great deal.

                      This is not say such women should be educated, given opportunity in workforce, etc.
