1. HUH? What??????
Israeli 2   (12.12.11)
2. We men like women because they have breasts...and long hair
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.12.11)
and smell nice and are level-headed and mostly: because they are NOT us! As to the religious followers of the Voice in the Desert, no need to mention them in the same breath as the rest of us, the Sane Ones. They have to be relegated (the whole dizzy bunch) to some Ghettos (only with nicer names, like Bnei Brak.:-) where they can spend their lives waiting for the Messiah. Ther's no need for phoney "feminism". Equal wages/standing should be disconnected from the mammary glands/child-bearing abilitiesof the Fair Sex! Women are human and that is enough: (could come as a shock to some)
3. Its not all feminist, it is simply being just and not mooks.
Josh   (12.12.11)
The struggles are not simply for the feminists but also for the men who are being denied the right to treat women equal. Who wants to be a sexist that abuses women and dishonors their mothers? It is everyones fight to be fair and to install justice.

I'm sorry, but this article made no discernible sense. Makes me doubt somewhat the quality of other ynet news.
5. #1 in simple terms
rebecca ,   Modiin   (12.12.11)
If you want to fight for women's rights, fight for their right to work with men on an equal basis, for equal pay. fight for the right serve equally in the army. etc. Stop with the over-reaction to sexist jokes, and stop demanding that women should entertain (ie sing) to men.
6. it was a funny joke!!!
leah ,   tel aviv   (12.12.11)
and more offensive to religious people than feminists.
7. Who were the researchers that were slighted?
josh ,   Jerusalem   (12.12.11)
I missed the story. What is this about?

AHHHH! Okay! Enlightened I am indeed!. Agreeing with you wholeheartedly 101%)
9. not to mention
R Blum, PhD, BSN, RN   (12.13.11)
Not to mention: 1 - The real power gap is female impoverishment to enrich male salaries: women earn 60% of male salaries 2 - The real Apartheid threat in the country is male-female, not Jew-Moslem 3 - Academia: the skewed ratio of male to female academics mentored, hired, receiving funding, & enabled to advance
