Hier noch etwas zum übersetzen. ich habe damit einmal angefangen
in arnes buch war ein link dazu, der funktioniert aber nicht mehr.
Wer lust hat:

(1) Feminists have long complained that only women are treated as sex objects. Advertisers, for example,
often promote their products by identifying them with the female body. If things were reversed, and only
male bodies were used to promote products;
1. Feministen haben sich lange darüber beschwert, dass nur Frauen als Sex-Objekte behandelt werden.
Die Werbung zum Beispiel wirbt oft für ihre Produkte, indem sie diese mit dem weiblichen Körper in Szene setzt.
Würden die Dinge genau anders laufen und nur männliche Körper in der Werbung eingesetzt, dann:
(a) Feminists would complain that the female body is not considered to be as attractive as the male body.
(b) Feminists would complain that sexism turns a man's body into a more valuable resource than a woman's body.
(c) Feminists would stop complaining.
a) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass der weibliche Körper nicht so attraktiv wie der männliche Körper gesehen wird.
b) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass der Sexismus den männlichen Körper in eine wertvollere Resource verwandelt, als einen weiblichen.
c) Feministen würden aufhören, sich zu beschweren.

(2) Feminists complain that there is a sexual double standard which benefits men. It encourages male sexual
activity at the same time that it restricts women. If things were reversed and the double standard promoted
sex for women while discouraging it for men;
2. Feministen beschweren sich darüber, dass es einen sexuellen Doppel-Standard gibt, der Männer bevorzuge. Das ermutigt Männer
zur sexuellen Aktivität, während es gleichzeitig Frauen beschränkt.
Würden die Dinge genau anders laufen und der Doppel-Standard würde für den Sex der Frauen werben, während Männer dazu entmutigt würden, dann:
(a) Feminists would complain that double standards frustrates women by making them want more sex than is available.
(b) Feminists would complain that the double standard disempowers women by making them the buyers in a sexual seller's market.
(c) Feminists would stop complaining.
a) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass der Doppel-Standard Frauen frustrieren würde, da er sie zu mehr Sex verleiten würde, der aber nicht verfügbar ist.
b) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass der Doppel-Standard Frauen entmachtet, indem er sie zu Käufern in einem Sex-Shop macht.
c) Feministen würden aufhören, sich zu beschweren.

(3) Since the beginning of the modern women's movement, feminists have complained about the male chauvinist practice
of allowing ladies to go first. If things were reversed and women were expected to allow men to enter rooms first and
be seated first;
3. Seit Begin der modernen Frauenbewegung haben Feministen sich über die chauvinistische Praxis beschwert, wenn Männer sagten "Ladys first!".
Würden die Dinge genau anders laufen und von Frauen würde verlangt, Männern als erstes den Zutritt zu einem Raum zu gewähren und Männern
es als erstes erlauben, sich zu setzen, dann:
(a) Feminists would complain that women's roles are symbolic of subservience.
(b) Feminists would complain that American women are treated as badly as Islamic women.
(c) Feminists would stop complaining.
a) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass die Frauenrolle ein Symbol der Unterwürfigkeit darstelle.
b) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass Frauen aus der zivilisierten Welt so schlecht behandelt würden wie islamische Frauen.
c) Feministen würden aufhören, sich zu beschweren.

(4) One of the first feminist "accomplishments" was to change the tradition of naming hurricanes after women.
Complaining that naming storms after women reinforces the stereotype that women are dangerous and erratic forces,
feminists insisted that we have an equal number of "himmicanes." If things were reversed, and we had always named
storms after men;
4. Eine der ersten feministischen "Bewältigungen" war, die Tradition zu stürzen, Hurrikans nach Frauen zu benennen.
Sie beschwerten sich, dass rein weibliche Namen von Stürmen den Stereotyp bestärke, dass Frauen gefährliche und unberechenbare Kräfte sind.
Feministen bestanden darauf, eine gleiche Anzahl männlich zu benennen.
Würden die Dinge genau anders laufen und wir würden den Stürmen immer Männernamen gegeben, dann:
(a) Feminists would complain that power was labeled as "masculine."
(b) Feminists would complain that women were stereotyped as unnewsworthy.
(c) Feminists would stop complaining.
a) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass Kraft nun mit männlich in Verbindung gebracht wird.
b) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass Weibliches als nicht berichtenswert stereotypisiert wird.
c) Feministen würden aufhören, sich zu beschweren.

(5) In a legal brief opposing draft registration for men-only, the National Organization for Women complained that
exempting women perpetuated the stereotype that women are helpless and dependent, and also hindered career opportunities
for women. If things were reversed and only women were drafted;
5. ************************************ ...beschwerte sich die "National Organization for Women" darüber, dass
(a) Feminists would complain that the law demands less of men than of women.
(b) Feminists would complain that we endanger female life to protect male life and obviously consider male life more
valuable.
(c) Feminists would stop complaining.
a) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass
b) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren,
c) Feministen würden aufhören, sich zu beschweren.

(6) The majority of divorces are initiated by women. Feminists claim this supports their contention that women are
forced to liberate themselves from unsatisfying and oppressive husbands. If things were reversed and men initiated
the majority of divorces;
6. Die meisten Scheidungen werden von Frauen eingereicht. Feministen behaupten, dass dies ihr Argument unterstütze,
dass Frauen gezwungen sind sich von den unbefriedigenden und tyrannischen Ehemännern zu befreien.
Würden die Dinge genau anders laufen und Männer würden die meisten Scheidungen einreichen, dann:
(a) Feminists would complain that men abandoned their families and walked out on their responsibilities.
(b) Feminists would complain that men were afraid of intimacy and commitment.
(c) Feminists would stop complaining.
a) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass Männer ihre Familien sitzenlassen und...*****************************

c) Feministen würden aufhören, sich zu beschweren.

(7) Feminists complain that the standard of living for the average divorced woman falls (she loses a breadwinner)

children while men lost breadwinners;
7. Feministen klagen darüber, dass sich der Lebensstandard der durchschnittlichen, geschiedenen Frau verschlechtert (sie verliert einen Versorger)
während der Lebensstandard des durchschnittlichen Mannes steigt (er verliert ein Kind).
Würden die Dinge genau anders laufen und Frauen würden Kinder verlieren, während Männer ihren Versorger verlieren, dann:
(a) Feminists would complain that no loss is more devastating than the loss of children.
(b) Feminists would complain that saying a homemaker's standard of living falls with divorce is just a misleading
way of saying that a homemaker's standard of living rises with marriage.
(c) Feminists would stop complaining.
a) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, dass kein Verlust so niederschmetternd ist, wie der Verlust eines Kindes.
b) Feministen würden sich darüber beschweren, ****************************************
c) Feministen würden aufhören, sich zu beschweren.

(8) A frequent accusation is that "If men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." Actually, as GLAMOUR magazine
admits, slightly more men than women favor abortions. If things were reversed and only men got pregnant;
8. Eine häufige Bezichtigung ist, dass "Wenn Männer schwanger würden, würde die Abtreibung ein Sakrament werden." Tatsächlich
erkannte das Magazin GLAMOUR an, dass Männer geringfügig mehr als Frauen Abtreibungen befürworten.
Würden die Dinge genau anders laufen und nur Männer würden schwanger werden, dann:
(a) Feminists would complain that men are not willing to take responsibility for their sexual conduct.
(b) Feminists would complain that men who support abortion are just being typically destructive males.
(c) Feminists would stop complaining.
