I am only for equal rights regarding career and also work in general - sort of, quite against "woman, make me a sandwich" type of things. but I do think that men should carry the furniture or heavy suitcases for women, men should open the door once in a while and possibly even occasionally move the chair for the lady to sit.
And that's cool! See, by that definition right there, I'd consider you a feminist. To me, the biggest part about feminism is that you're a) aware of gender inequality and b) support correcting that. In that same light, my dad is a feminist. He's probably a better one than I am, to be honest. We've gotten into a few discussions where he's proven that. *nods*
as for dogs, I thing the most dangerous or most fight one is regarded to be a Staffordshire terrier.
Hmmm... I don't know the statistics on that breed, but for the project I did on pit bulls, I looked up the top dog breeds in the US and checked how they rated overall on the American Temperament Test Society's page. What they do is take a sampling of dogs from all over the country and test them for overall temperament. The results I found were that Labradors scored highest (like 92%), pit bulls were at 86%, golden retrievers were at 82%, Australian shepherds were at 82%, German shepherds were at 80%, and collies were at 79%.
Now I'm really curious about how pit bulls compare on an international level... *ponders*
But the thing that really surprised me was that, according to every single major resource of dog breed standards, pit bulls are, by nature, very loving and loyal toward humans (especially children) and are considered fabulous family dogs, but really lousy guard dogs. Which is kinda ironic since a lot of people tend to use them for guard dogs. *grins*
Anyway, point being, I think you're right on that whole nature v. nurture thing. That'd be interesting to explore further, like how much of our nature can counteract the nurture and so forth. *nods* I like that. Maybe I'll write something up about it anyway.
as for myself, I have only few more days left before coming home for the summer vacation and currently I'm really nervous cause I still haven't found my internship but I will have a couple of interviews this week.
*CRINGES* Oooo, that's tough! What are you looking to intern in? Try not to let it weigh TOO heavily on you. You're coming home, it's summer vacation. Those are two very good reasons to be happy.
I don't know if there's anything I can do to help with the internship searching, but lemme know and I'll do my best.
