Likely it’ll start in certain suburbs and be backed by the EU council on human rights. That is, of course, if the EU hasn’t collapsed under its own economic dysfunction. Likely Sharia law will start to sneak into certain locations and segments of French society. While one part of France attempts to turn women into men, the other segment will show them what true oppression actually looks like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-52900062619197436952012-02-19T10:36:39.845+13:002012-02-19T10:36:39.845+13:00Bird on a wire and Bird of Paradise .. birds every...Bird on a wire and Bird of Paradise .. birds everywhere around here .. <br /><br />There's an expression in French : 'Ca ne vole pas très haut'; meaning literally : these people don't fly very high ; and figuratively : 'the debate is not of a very high level ..'Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030726811646347342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-69612722734319763452012-02-19T05:31:55.560+13:002012-02-19T05:31:55.560+13:00Off topic, not really even about political correct...Off topic, not really even about political correctness but just about how liberalism is destroying society.<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/18/us/for-women-under-30-most-births-occur-outside-marriage.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&hp<br /><br />notice that it says liberal researches said that there are fewer marriageable men because their incomes have been declining.

It's an Anglo-Saxon notion of the way Fr. people speak (dating from Maurice Chevalier movies and things like that.)<br /><br />Even the full term 'Mademoiselle' was already sounding 'old-world' back in the 70's .. And today you never hear it. (I don't think 'older' women today would get any sort of buzz out of being addressed quirkily as 'Mademoiselle'.) <br /><br />It simply does not correspond to today's world, where women are no longer obliged to 'define' themselves principally as someone's wife! <br /><br />There has been a complete change over the last two generations (Strange! Some people don't seem to have noticed! ): women have been liberated by the contraceptive pill ; people don't marry systematically any more when they want to live together ; and many that DO marry end up divorced anyway ; there are also newer ways (In Fr.at least) of only 'half-committing' yourself to a partner ie: 'PACS' ..<br /><br />In short, the title for unmarried women: 'Mademoiselle' has become meaningless and superfluous; as has the term 'nom de jeune fille'(maiden name); appertaining to the non-married 'virgin' state.<br /><br />The French term 'Madame' is the obvious, neutral way of addressing a woman, in the same way that 'Monsieur' is the obvious, neutral way of addressing a man.<br /><br />The law and legal documents are just catching up with today's world. <br /><br />So is there a problem here? I can't see it..<br /><br />The person (with the great courage to remain 'Anonymous') professing his delicate and insightful view of 'feminism' as being proper to 'smelly,ugly,dykey boot-wearers' reveals the weakness and lack of intelligence of all men who have not yet 'tweaked' that the liberation of women is also their own liberation. <br /><br />Vive la vie, vive l'égalité, vive les hommes, vives les femmes, vive l'amour .. <br /><br />Et surtout (and above all) Vive l'intelligence !<br /><br />Signed by Janet.
