Someone on here tells me there is no one interpretation of men and motive. I disagree. Simply put, if women misunderstand men and how men's minds work, feminist prescriptions directed at men FAIL. They fail because men feel NOT like they or their concerns are being addressed, but like they are being punished.
You lib feminists can run your lives the way you want. The problem is you women are more than glad to tell us men how to run our lives, tell the government what laws to put into place to punish us men for perceived and imagined SLIGHTS, etc.
women fail to comprehend that EVERYTHING the vast majority of men do (be they cognizant of it or not) is directed at one singular goal-- being poised in the most optimal position to gain access to the best females they are capable of getting. (do you see any men doing anything BESIDES THIS? Point them out to me PLEASE.)
That women willfully misunderstand and consider men to be dillettantes, forgetfully flitting from woman to woman on the occasions they are not pushing red buttons says a lot about women and also continues to make women misunderestimate men.
Another similar example was on Yahoo 2day. the article talked about the key reason men cheat. IT is not about getting a prettier woman or about having better sex, it is about having an EMOTIONAL CONNECTION with a woman. You heard it right, men have emotions. Men indulge and nurture relations with women with whom they can exchange POSITIVE emotions. Whod'a'THUNK?
Yet every single thing you hear out there is about women chastising men for chasing tail or women dolling themselves up (resentfully, at that) because they feel they need to look prettier than the next woman AS IF IT MATTERS. Women fail to understand men, women proceed on false expectation, women AND men fail together as a result.
It is no secret men and women can no longer largely stand each other in this society. This, in the age where modern LIBERAL feminism has triumphed in generating a near monopoly on discussion of gender and motive and intent. It continues to get worse, with the exception of two things-- young women are dropping liberal feminism from their minds, seeing it for the utter failure that it is, and men are realizing just how insipid modern lib feminism is and how much it despises and misunderstands men.
Ergo, this devotion and worship to a woman who is not ripping men another one, UNLIKE you assorted dipsy lib women, ala Miz Hillary, Pelosi and the other cuckoos with the hard and misguided agendas.
There is more I can comment on, but lunch calls.
precisely the response I expect from people who do not have to think.
Nothing has ever been gained by responding to him. We are all much better off if he is just ignored.
I am IRRELEVANT because I have not swallowed the kool-aid (more accurately, I finally shat it out).
Gee, where is that INCLUSIVE liberalism and feminism? NOT HERE. No need to apply if you do not speak 'lib'. But, you know, you people will STILL insist on telling us men what to think?
It is maddening. No wonder I cannot relate to liberalism when it is a mindless borg. And to think, I used to be on YOUR side.
the Dalai Lama is not really interested,
He is religious. can he even marry?
and I'll bet Nelson Mandela wasn't just thinking about getting hot Black chicks. Or Karl Marx, anyone? Ben Franklin? George Washington? Are mathematicians like Poincaré, Nash or Riemann trying to find women in their equations? Nah.
Is Nelson Mandela lonely? Was Karl Marx shunned by women? Franklin and Washington? No they NEVER wanted anything to do with women. Gee and women NEVER chase Nobel Prize winners...
You got me. It is TRUE that men do not think every moment of the day that if they only score another math solution or stock rise, that they will have better luck in the arena of life.
But it is an INESCAPABLE fact that ANY achievement by a man is looked upon positively by the super majority of women. Or does this escape most men?
Now you can balance this with lots of things. Lots of men's self esteem is so low, that they use achievement as a way not to think about their own internal dialogue. Or else the men know or intuit that them being happy pursuing their bliss will lead to more opportunity with being loved by someone of the opposite (or even the same) sex.
But this reductivist, intellectual piffle you try to flaunt is irrelevant. The reality of life is beyond simple politically motivated pseudo-analysis. "Life" is not a leftist issue.
I wuv you.
Just give me the sign, I am ready to make wonderful babies with you.
You can say all the false things about me that you want.
It does not make you right just because you say things that many others might agree on with you.
