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.

Especially for women with children, there are needs that need to be catered to. Their travel is restricted. They usually avoid doing any hands on work. They are constantly taking days off because their kids are sick. They can't work overtime, etc. Men on the other hand are expected to travel on short notice. Accept any overtime that is needed to get the job done, etc. None of this shouldn't come as a shock... these are the usual issues that have to be dealt with in a society where families are trying to juggle everything on a day to day basis. This is why so many marriages fail.

    I mean as a society, it's expected that we help each other out... you know, watch each other's kids, help out when you can, etc. However when it comes to survival (that IS what life is about) in a multicultural society, it's all for one and one for all. I shouldn't be expected to cover for someone because they aren't reliable but since I work for a corporation, it is what it is.
    Keep in mind though men are usually paid more than women, men have higher positions than women, and of course there probably have been laws to combat it, but that disparity in income still exists very clearly.

    The thing is when 2 people begin a family with kids and everything, sometimes both cannot support the family, and thus the women is forced to work (I mean what else are they supposed to do?) Now, if women wants to work for the heck of it and not raise her kids that's another story as women as responsibility to raise her kids and make a comfortable home environment, but unfortunately this isn't the case always and we just cannot generalise for the whole population, some times women are forced to raise their children alone, it happens, and thus they have to work. So yes I be there will be unfair moments in the workplace as a result, but keep in mind the circumstances that can affect families and women, it's not always that they don't care about their kids and just want to be independent and have a career.

    Yes, I'm a feminist who worked her ass off for an average 10 hours a day in a factory like a man for 10 years, and proud of that.
    Sucks doesn't it? lol What type of factory? I work with robotics and automation.

    But I’m pretty sure you blame men in everything that goes wrong in your work or your life, right?

    good for you Odar that's not an easy task.


    so, not everyone feels Armenian women are essentially just baby factories, that they are more than a 2-dimensionable character?

    hmm.... if you have children, is the same trend showing up in your kids that they are more "liberal" than you guys are?

    Nah, that's only true for average men who don't have much ambition and will remain average their whole life. Regardless of how much they care about what women want, they'll always end up taking whoever will have them.

    Obviously there is, but you missed the point. Rather than concentrating on what women want, it's much better for a man to spend time furthering his career. If he wants kids, the pool of eligible women (meaning young, hot and not yet retarded from feminism) is larger than when he's a beggar trying desperately to do everything he can to please that one woman in his life hoping that she will choose him.
