So wrong in so many ways

this author is full of it, seeking more excuses to make women into little victims, not in charge of their sexuality, nor intelligent enough to see the results of their actions.

please. men want REAL women who take charge of themselves and their sexuality. No wonder the only women worth having 'relations' with in America reside in a magazine or comuter screen.

Parson was correct "The rise of porn in America is the result of female empowerment + the rejection of any limits placed on women's behavior.

It gets no more straightforward than THAT.

All the author talks about is extreme examples that few people are aware even exist, like the bodily fluid drinking, then extrapolates it into some cockeyed worldview.

Yes, people were humiliated in Iraq. The only relationship this has to women is that humiliation is about status, and humiliated prisoners have seemingly lower status, as do women who refuse to act like adults and prefer to blame men for the women's own DESIRE to pornify their own lives.

Women do this to themselves, to show off to alpha men, to show off for each other, to show what they can get away with, because it turns them on, or for whatever reason.

Geez

. Hasn't she been punished enough for being married to Tom Cruise?

Not even Tom Fucking Cruise is good enough any more for these superior women all around us.

God help me, I am glad I remain single. I couldn't stand the constant JUDGEMENTALISM. No wonder so many married guys seem miserable all the time.

I guess that is why they call them 'gay' guys, because they really ARE happier.

So it should pass because they have the guns?

If you or I went to a bank and demanded a loan or else the bank suffer immense consequences, we would be laughed out of the building, then probably arrested for stupidity.

But it is apparently OK for trillionaires to openly declare that we will ALL suffer immense pain unless we hand over $1 trillion, no questions asked.

And they will probably get it, because those on government and in banking own the big guns and we do not.

As I said before, use the bux to fund a PEOPLE'S bank to buy up and sell off the assets. We control it, it is in the open, we benefit from it, the evil banks get to go down with their mistakes (with a little hope and a wish).

funny

how no brigades have ever been assigned to the South border, even though illegals stream in by the millions each year, along with billion in drugs and muslims with military equipment (doubt me? read some reports on this reality).

but instead of protecting the United States borders, these jackholes in Washington need to prepare themselves and to make sure Bushista is sent off in luxury to his 100,000 acre ranch in Paraguay, where he can FOREVER be assured he will never be sent off to the World Court to testify for his illegal military operations.

You are all being played. I have been told I am a deeply resentful person, even when I was a child. As I live through this decade, now I understand why. I am constantly surrounded by people in this society who 'act' as if they are on top of things, but the things are on top of them and about to snuff them out.

Actually, the way the article was written in USA Today

emphasized how shocked the researchers were to find out that [the old fraudulent feminist canard that] men control the household was not true after all.

If anything, the article's emphasis inadvertently revealed just how much pull feminism has had on the culture in that it managed to fool so many people for so long into thinking that men somehow controlled women on the doomestic* front.

And these 'fooled' researchers were MEN, not women. You would have thought men knew themselves and their fellow men better.

But unfortunately, men defer these issues of perceptions and impressions of the social sphere to women, and women take advantage of this POWER and steer men wrong, apparently.

IN OTHER WORDS, exactly what I have been saying for years.

BS is consistent

in that if a guy wants to BECOME female or be openly gay, for instance, they support it. Makeup would fall into this category.

I don't get it

Man hating American feminist attitudes ought to pervade and stink up the whole planet?

SO what if a man is HETEROSEXUAL? Should he be flogging himself and crawling away in shame for having sexual or even non-sexual but positive thoughts?

I imagine in much of the world NOT commenting on the OBVIOUS, that Palin is attractive, would be considered an INSULT to her and to women, maybe implying that the man is gay even.

I am GLAD I have such a CLEAR enemy to fight in nasty old feminism, because I would MUCH rather see an honest, genuine world where men AND women can be free to express themselves rather than the puppet pawn fascist pretense that feminism constantly tries to foist on everything like some suffocating darkness.

SORRY so much if sexuality hurts you or you HATE yourselves, ladies.

Palin could tell Mr. Pakistan that he is also attractive or handsome. WHAT IS STOPPING HER? Why does everything have to be some mapped out micromanaged Kabuki dance of hatred against men?
