Mother Nature is the bitch here, not the advertising industry, and like I said, she is as much of a bitch to women as to men, the difference is that womens' behavior commonly isn't acknowledged as a problem. BTW is there the slightest chance that women will find a way to drop this idiocy that insists on holding that because men are more sexual than women that men "don't see women as people".

is not to do them at all.

because men who don't die are usually healthier than women who don't. It's really mostly about territory; women think it is theirs and because it is theirs only women can do it "right".

They thought the "contraction" was a a good thing because it gave people are variety of life experiences, made them work hard, and made them be (at least a little) bit more civil to their employers. Anyone who REALLY wanted a job could find one, after all, someone has to do the work. These sentiments are voluminously documented. Some things never change. One BIG reason the Republicans held power as long as they did is because many if not most people are completely ignorant of anything in the past other than than the things (whether they are things that actually happened or not) that the right wing wants them to "know".

It is hard to see how anyone can honestly believe that Clinton's behavior as president merits him being in any substantive way put on the same level as the other three without being either grossly uninformed or irrational (if you think Glen is saying that it does I think you are reading him wrong).

in the same way that Clinton wasn't a "real" President so any thing that was done to prevent him from functioning was "legal".

The Clinton's, while not angels, are victims, along with the rest of the country, of the same right wing that has been trying to reassert it's divine right to rule ever since Bush's granddaddy tried to stage a fascist coup in the 30s against the New Deal and was thwarted but not punished. They have never stopped trying, the illegal impeachment of Clinton being only the latest example (watergate was another, speaking of pardons). There are disturbing signs that even people with good instincts, and the culture in general, are being worn down by the best propaganda money can buy sustained over 80 years, with extra amplification during the last 30.

have no interest in reducing the population by 80%, why go out of your way to make them look good?

and when men avoid those situations as much as possible, as any person not consumed with self hatred would do when treated that way, women are HIGHLY OFFENDED. The fact that many women expect men to HAPPILY VOLUNTEER to be treated this way "because men look at porn and pay for sex and therefore are capable of any perversion" and are highly offended when they DON"T volunteer has got to be one of the stranger manifestations of prudo-feminism out there. It's hard to conceive of a situation where the question "What do you expect?" could be more applicable.

but it definitely plays a role. ESPECIALLY in non commercial social situations. Why would any man in his right mind NOT insist that a woman, any woman, do ALL the kid stuff in all but the MOST secure situations. It doesn't help that many of the female activists/workers in the field that will investigate if any woman or kid gets mad about anything are insane.

men have the proper attitude, the food is all "natural", fashion magazines don't oppress them, etc etc. Good luck with that.

who believed Saddam had WMD's. The rest of the world knew that he didn't have them, or at least that there was no evidence that he did and much evidence that he didn't. One thing Bush ISN'T alone on is this: he isn't the only one defending his actions as president by resorting to lies and delusions.

completely irrational, completely corrupt, completely hypocritical and completely illegal impeachment and attempted removal from office of Clinton over a blow job and the fact that no one, not the complicit media and not the Republican party, was ever held accountable for it. The fact that in an equivalently corrupt and illegal manner Bush was installed in office in 2000 just confirmed what was already evident.

if everyone is going to have something the govt, directly or indirectly, and not the free market has to provide it. Or technology has to make it so cheap that it is virtually free. If neither is the case then some people, for most things, LOTS of people, will not be able to afford it. Republicans have never believed that everyone should have education, health care, a living wage, because the only way everyone can have them is if they are provided, in some form, by govt. They just can't get elected if they say this (too)directly (although thanks to the increasing ignorance of anything but technology of most of the population, the culture wars, and fading memories, they are not having to work as hard as they used to to hide their real policy goals).

the "boundaries" between "prostitution" and "getting ahead" will ALWAYS be blurred.

Really? No idea huh? OK one more time for all the people who haven't heard it before, apologies to those who have. OK, READY, HERE IT IS: ANY NORMAL WOMAN WHO WANTS TO CAN MAKE HERSELF SOCIALLY AVAILABLE AND THERE WILL BE MEN WHO ARE WILLING TO TAKE AN INTEREST BUT MEN HAVE TO DO SO SO SO MUCH MORE (AND IN MANY CASES THE IMPOSSIBLE) TO BE IN AN EQUIVALENT POSITION. Do you think you can remember it this time?
