In yesterday’s discussion about the roles of men and women on Okto TV, my female counterpart proudly announced that she has both male and female aspects and she can jump from one to the other, depending on the situation. I argued. I am always a woman – no matter if I am heading a business meeting, practicing the art of tai-chi sword, watching K1 fighting or kicking a man out of my apartment after sex. I am very much against women trying to overtake male characteristics in order to “win” in men’s world. We should rather proudly use our femininity and characteristics which men so not have to complement men, rather then compete them.

Hello Ana!
We appreciated very much that you joined our show. The airing of part 1 is on 4.7. at 21h at OKTO (Channel
and I will inform you about the date for the follow up, which is even more tensioned.
I am also sure that you will always play the female part, because it simply better works in a male world. Although you can have the same behavior/opinion you express it another way than she does. e.g. I am sure, my dear Ana, if you want something really you are also a real fighter and have a irresistable position.
And I also give my total respect to Iris Appiano-Kugler because she really positions herself in first row for attacs and stays stabile. This kind of loyality and passion is what I sometimes miss in female behavior.
Like you I have very strong AND female women in my family. I am glad that they found husbands who respect and love them for being exactly that way!
My passion are amazons: They have female bodies and the power of a fighters.This is were I feel home and strong.
And you are completly right, fighting against men is nonsense, because man and woman are to sides of one piece. But we have to fight against a male system and the mediapublications. if a man gets more money only because hes a man then there is something wrong. we need new models of payment. If men work more because the get no babies- fine and fair, but than we need a payment per hour…
If women need men and men need women is the title of our next show. A guest will be a famous human biologist. We are starting a dialog beween humanities and natural science, because we cannot- and psychology already knows that- neglect our physical presence.
Dear Bilonda,
first I am very excited to see you are reading my blog – and even more excited that you are you posting comments. Thank you!
Second, thank you for inviting me into your show – it was a great experience, I enjoyed the relaxed antmosphere and interesting guests. Talking with them was excellent and surely gave me enough food for thought. I hope that is what we’ll acheive with your viewers as well.
I absolutely agree with you – Iris Appiano-Kugler is a fantastic woman. She is strong, experienced, intelligent and knows what she is talking about. Plus that, she charming. Congratulations for getting her into the show.
I also agree that there is still a lot to be done to achieve an equal position of both sexes in Austria. I am glad we have women like Iris to fight this war. But as I said in your show – I believe we are at the stage where we urgently have to get together and rather start fighting for humanism. Because this is where we are all rapidly loosing.
ana tajder or vienna’s carrie bradshaw. I like your blog and I like communication.
so pls proceed and share more of your thoughts!
I don’t think so. You have to revise your looks. In general your blog is good, but sometimes your posts are creepy.
Cool, there are aliens on my site! Thank you. I am very curious to hear what is creepy….
LOL. an alien tries to use reverse psychology on you, but unfortunately he doesn’t know the difference between crappy and creepy (prolly due to the fact that its def. a foreign language to him). I always thought aliens are smart people using all kind of tricks to befuddle their clueless victims and running experiments on them, now i have to learn that some of them are not sooo clever. and they obv. have visual defects which could be very important some day, when we have to fight them in the war of the worlds. screw you martian, your butt is mine.
