Why isn't this an issue we can vote on within NationStates?

These forums have everything. Even bible-spousing sexists. :eek:

Because they'd have to reverse it and make men property....and then you'd have the potential to get stupid things like:

"Men are kept locked up by their spouses and women aren't let out of the house"

in the nation description.

Perhaps because half the population would tell those calling them property and objects to go to Hades?

Perhaps because a significant percentage of NationStates players would be offended?

Perhaps because most people here are more mature than to believe women are property and objects?

Can you not turn it into an issue and take it to the 'got issues?' forum?

This is a joke by the way if you're too thick to figure that out ;)

Eh? Since when has that mattered as far as issues were concerned?

Funny, because this 'joke' of a thread sounds more like flamebaiting to me. And I thought jokes were supposed to be funny. I guess it's only you laughing.

And that in itself is flamebaiting if not a flame because you're suggesting that everyone who took you seriously is an idiot, yet you gave no indication that this was to be not taken seriously in prior to this post.

Well, if you're a regional deligate you can propose things for the UN to vote on. So you could, if you're not already, become a regional delicate by getting enough people in your region to endorse you then propose what you just stated for vote. Then you'd have to leave it up to other UN members to vote for the statement in question.

Or you could submit it as an issue for any nation to possibly implement. But that would take thw MODs to accept it.

These things are the rules. Ofcourse if there is some greater rule against it, which I have never read of, then the issue in question would not be allowed anyway. So then well...you're screwed lol.

Because nobody has thought of it yet. Why don't you make an issue on that subject?

*shrugs* as long as we have a "men are property and objects" topic too, that's fine with me. and how about "black people are property and objects" as well as "white people are property and objects"? how about "religious people...etc"? or "tall people...etc"?

Can't an admin move this to the "issues" forum, so people treat it as such instead of an actual view held by someone?

Something to remember about posts that look too dumb to be true: they quite often are. But don't start yelling flamebait, just look, roll your eyes, and move along.

Good luck with this one. Nobody likes to admit that much of our honored traditions are based on the idea that women are inferior in some way.

I guess we only argue it because it bothers us to be the vessels of sin.

That's why I reject tradition.

I work around it by being the person that I am, and finding a man to marry who loves me for it. He's even thought about taking my name instead, but that's partly because he doesn't like his own last name. I told him that I wouldn't mind if that's the way he felt.
