Why I don't talk in English

This past unit has been all on Gender Studies.  Being one of the few guys in the class many of the females in the class have asked me my opinion saying that they think I do not agree with them as I do not speak.  I can say that without a doubt in my mind I do not speak because I do not care at all.  I think it was wrong the way women were treated but now-a-days I do not care whats so ever what women do.  They can be stay at home moms, they can work (where ever they want), they can be as slutty as they want, or as innocent as they want.  As long as it has no immediate/direct connection to me they can have fun doing whatever they want.  In nearly every book we read for this unit the woman was repressed in some way.  In The Awakening and The Yellow Wallpaper the women had to deal with husbands who really didn't know their wives and treated them poorly which is wrong.  These men were wrong in that they didn't care about their wives when they were directly connected to them.  As someone who has dated, has female friends, and a mom I can say I care about females close to me, but I do not care how they go about what they want to or what they want to do.  What kills me more than anything is that women often think that not caring is wrong too.  I feel I cannot win when I open my mouth in these arguements so I choose to not talk.  In no way, shape, or form do I feel men are better than women, but for some reason, most likely because I am a man, women think that I do, which in a way is sexist just as much.  As many times as I say it, it doesn't get across, I do not care at all.  So in conclusion, speaking for women being treated equally results in many thinking I just am doing it to shut them up, arguing against fair treatment is wrong so I can't do that, and saying I do not care results in anger as well because it matters to them so I choose not to talk.  That is my answer to this problem and I shall stick to it.

Culture...Whats Right? Whats Wrong?

The article "The Challenge of Cultural Relativism" discusses the idea of cultural relativism, which basically says that what is right and wrong is based on whether or not it is in the culture being discussed.  Because cultures vary so differently so would their thoughts on what is right and wrong which is what Cultural Relativism speaks on.
I completely agree with the idea of Culture Relativism.  People are to quick to judge others but when you try and judge them they become offended.  They often think that there way is right and any other way, which confuses me so very much.  Why is it that they think that there cultures code is the one that is right and others are wrong.  People have to come to the realization that not all people live by the same code.  If people were to leave their comfort zones they would learn this.
One book that came to mind the whole time I read this was Things Fall Apart.  Whenever this book was discussed in class people so quickly said that Okonkwo was not a hero because of the way he acted towards women, and his attitude.  I felt as if I was the only one to see Okonkwo as a true hero. I personally felt he was one of the most heroic figures we've read about.  In nearly ever book we've read this year every character had a flaw that made them less heroic to me.  Okonkwo was by definition a true and utter hero in his culture.  He had titles, he had yams, he had wives, and he had strength.  The reason for his downfall was because of the white men and his peoples inability to act against them.  So using Cultural Relativism I saw the pure heroism in Okonkwo, while not one in our culture, he very much was in his.
