Are you a 'liberated woman' or a 'new man'?

JP · Burning up the forum

Embrace and celebrate the differences.

Differences between races should also be embraced.

Like white men can't jump, and black men can't swim. :D I also once heard a comment on a youtube video from a black woman saying if she hadn't seen Tom Jones sing a particular song she would have thought it was a black guy. She was talking about soul. Obviously she feels 99% of the time white people can't do soulful singing to the level of black people.

On the whole that's probably right. And it doesn't offend me one bit.

Different scenario to your specific topic I know. But kinda linked.

Well no harm in broadening a topic out.
I agree with you about voices, Dusty Springfield had a black womans voice when she sang, very different to her speaking voice.
If anyone has watched the masked singer, both in the UK and in the US, it's always glaringly obvious whether the singer is black or white before they are unmasked.
It was Patti LaBelle yesterday, she didn't fool anyone.

Re the men v women debate. I think I am liberated, but I will gladly accept the little gestures that men traditionally have always done for women, giving up a seat, opening a door, making sure I am home safe, carrying heavy bags, etc etc etc.
I accept these gestures not because I am a weak little woman, but because they are thoughtful, and ime it makes men feel good to be able to look out for the woman too.

Says the anonymous shithead hiding behind a proxy.

Don't you understand irony, or do you think it's a bit like silvery or bronzy?

It certainly is.

Just a silly thought that maybe one or two anons would actually like to discuss a topic with a modicum of civility.

What does it mean to be a 'new man'?

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

"A man who believes that women and men are equal and should be free to do the same things, and who does tasks and shows emotions that were traditionally considered only suitable for women:"

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

i know a few 'new men', usually under 50. .My OH tries, but I think being raised in the 50's and 60's....pre new man discovery, it's quite hard to adapt to.

Women who were raised in that era were the ones who continued the fight for equality... though that battle is still being fought.

Now, that suggests you weren't too sure yourself what 'new man' meant, as it looks like you're quoting someone else there.

No...that suggests I gave you the dictionary definition that you were too thick/lazy or both to google yourself.

The Anon that replied wasn't the Anon that asked the question. I didn't reply because the answer seemed fair enough. I could have provided a critique of the terms liberated women and the new man but since you never invented the terms I didn't think that would have been a relevant reply. However ordinary people are using these terms and their understanding of these terms might vary. So there may be a dictionary definition of the term but dictionaries are not the origin of those definitions.
