You woefully lack any respect for men

As a man who still supports classical feminism, I will respond to your so called definition of feminism...

such as equal pay for equal work, OK

fair and safe working conditions for women, sure, and for men too

support for single working mothers raising children, Where is the no good dad? Oh, sorry you picked the town deadbeat to bear you your kids. you should have picked a man RESPONSIBLY, because NOBODY wants to cover the costs of your own DELIBERATE and WILLFUL mistake. No luck there, sorry. buh bye...

making sure women's health issues are addressed, Breast cancer receives fifty times the amount of funding as does prostate cancer. So you hate men then, huh?

combatting rape, incest and abuse, Men are abused by women too, I wish you would call yourself a HUMANIST and admit that men are human and vulnerable too. But no, you hate men, thisis a jihad against men. Sorry to break the news to you, honeychumps.

and not having a man tell a woman what she can or cannot do with her body. You ladies first. When you quit telling us men to go fight the wars to protect you women, when you women quit forcing us men to pay for the mistakes YOU uynilaterally decide to bear and raise, when you women do these things FIRST, then we men MIGHT consider returning the FAVOR. MAYBE. Feminism requires that one make an intentional commitment to justice Puhleeeeze, Justice for WOMEN ONLY. That is not justice, that is women gaining at the expense of men. No man should be for this. No SELF RESPECTING MAN.

...to move toward a more egalitarian society. Again, get off it.

I am glad the Palin selection has opened up this can of hypocritical stink you lefty hypocritical pseudo-feminists have been laying on society and men for far too long.

Your Hillary, a hanger on with an entitlement complex, is superior to a STRONG, SELF MADE woman like Palin? You are NOT a feminist. Not by most peoples' definitions.

I am a former feminist because of women like you who continue to insist on screwing us men over for our pleasure.

F Chet

gloss over it, why don't you. Like everything else you so called open minded lefties do.

You just do not get it. Men do not have to grant you women ANYTHING.

We understand that you women think only we men have to compromise. Such arrogance on the part of you women.

Typical.

When you women decide you are also a part of the human race, with people to answer to, maybe things will begin to go easier for you.

I never understood this "feminist" argument

The baby is dependent upon the mother - even after birth- but is not a part of the mother.

According to feminists then, if an elderly woman is in a person's care, because she is incapacitated, it is, according to feminism, OK to murder that old person because, after all, they were completely dependent on you and your body.

The days of hypocritical leftie feminism are waning, faster than ever. You ladies can come back down to earth now.

We men want peers, compatriots, not prissy, neovictorian scolds with arrogant female-superiority complexes.

Drugguy, my hope would have been

that you would have offered some form of content to respond to instead of your tired attack.

I'm done with the left. The last vestiges of my belief in the left are disappearing down the drain on the realization that it is not feminism you people are after, but maintenance of a certain socialist handout mindset as a litmus test to those who you would consider to be part of the club of feminism-- a kind of maintaining of female privilege.

That makes you people your own worst enemies.

Which is a pathetic state for anyone to be in.

No wonder you lash out impotently at people like me.

The problem is with your self definition of feminist

You are free to call yourself whatever you want. But nobody else has to agree with you or believe you.

That all your partners in crime, your fellow so called feminists, also called themselves the same thing means nothing.

You people are getting run over on the highway of life as you are being forced to merge into the speed lane because your definition of feminism resembles nothing so much as man hatred.

Exactly what I have called it for year, Exactly what I told you lefties was how the REST OF AMERICA sees the situation.

You laughed at me, called me names.

But let me be CLEAR.

No man wants to be hated, despised, ridiculed, marginalized, tricked or forced into signing off on privileges that are handed off to women AT THE EXPENSE OF MEN.

Yet, the textbook definition of "feminism" is PRECISELY THAT in most people's minds.

Most of America believes feminism to have evolved into a fringe belief system characterized first and foremost by sheer hatred of men, males, mankind. Men are the ROOT of all problems, according to you people. Women are all purity and light and therefore it is OK to either murder your child in the eighth month of pregnancy or to stiff the poor guy with 18 years of payments instead. Per your feminist doctrine, women are grownups, with the ability and the right to destroy men's lives, but ironically with no responsibility to act like an adult in return. You act like children. But you still want to be treated like adults.

Well, MANY [most] of us beg to differ. In November you marginal types will learn, YET AGAIN, that most of America is not into fringe beliefs.

I warned you people on these boards for the past three years. Had you LISTENED, the left might have had a plan to thwart, offset, counterargue the train wreck coming your way.

Have a nice day.
