Islam is not to blame for the problem, the report says, but rather political inflexibility, male domination and war.

Well, actually- we're forced to pay because some dough-heads in congress think we should be, and would like nothign better than to have the U.N dictating our laws here in America

Why is "feminine" used as a pejorative?

In this case its a synonym for weakness... just as the term 'bully', which nearly always refers to males, is used as a pejorative term.

I also use the word 'feminine' as a compliment in the right context. Its not always bad.

Well.....OK :)

It's just that, as a female, I like to think of being feminine as a good thing. And not necessarily being weak. But I understand what you meant.
