[Read the article: Abuse me, abuse my pet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]'Female abusers of men count on guys not fighting back. They also use surprise, and weapons to counter males' size advantage. They also attack when men are asleep, sick, or elderly. It's both cowardly and pervasive.'
Isn't it also cowardly for an average man to attack an average woman?
It wouldn't exactly be easy for an average woman to attack an average man without the means of an advantage?
It also wouldn't be fair for a man or woman to attack a sick or elderly person.
Couldn't we all just put up a 'man/woman' when comparing...it makes us all seem a bit less sidey choosey.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Study after study show that men and women start fights equally. That women get hurt more makes it that much more important for feminists to teach women not to start fights they can't finish (or as guys learn, "Don't let your mouth write a check your ass can't cash.") But it's doubtful women get hurt more since many men don't report their injuries to police, and tell doctors their wounds are "accidents." Then, too, women use the element of surprise (as well as male sickness, sleep, age, etc.) to compensate for men's greater size. There is little defense for a king poisoned by a maid...or stabbed in his sleep."
Are you kidding? I've been in a situation, many a time, that if it had been a women I was arguing with...Fist would have been flying....but since it was a man..I knew better...and thank god I don't own a rolling pin....cause I would rock that....now I'm kidding....
But seriously..Do you think women are really that naive and stupid? If a man LARGER THEN YOU is the person you plan on picking a fight with...then you have to be a mentally ill woman....
The most abusive thing I've ever done was tug hard on my boyfriends shirt....and that ended up with me being in a standing arm bar....FUCK THAT

Women and labor
[Read the article: Rosie the Six-Figure-Earning Mechanic]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Women can do alot more then believe they can.
I think that a huge reason women don't often go into the trades is they have this fear that they can't handle it. Whether its the heavy lifting or fear of sexism in the work place.
I actually know quite a few women in the trades....even in labor jobs helping build houses and working on assembly lines or with fork lifts. I knew a women who worked with crest homes who did the dry wall....she did that up until she was 6 months pregnant...then they switched her over to painting. She had a healthy and happy baby girl.
I remember when I was with career link and we went to a job fair...there was a woman recruiter from triangle tech, which is a school for masonry, carpentry, and electric work....While I was speaking to her I felt very comfortable. I told her about my interest in carpentry and she gave me alot of information. I found out that she was a teacher there and that she worked in masonry for 17 years. She was this tall, burly woman...but she had a very less then manly face and voice which told me that she was probably very much like myself when she entered into the field. She assured me that many women were now showing great interest in the construction and labor fields that where once all male dominated.
This is something that makes me happy. Seeing women doing what they love even though its not something traditional for us.
I'm excited to see the future of women in the trades.

Whenever I read about sexual assult in the U.S. Military....
[Read the article: Stars, stripes and sexual assault]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It makes me think about the Military in the Congo....
Yes, our military is having trouble with rape within our military. But the Congo's Military is completely focused on ravaging villages and killing off husbands and taking away women to make them sex slaves....
Now thats trauma....Imagine getting pregnant after a solider rapes you...its an unwanted pregnancy and you know its not your fault...then the solider comes back to find you're pregnant...blames you...and then forces your children to stomp on your stomach until you abort...Then they force you to drink the blood from the abortion.
But it's all for a good cause...It's their magic potion that makes them stronger for battle. And when someone asks them if they would do it to their own mother...They say they would kill the man....Hmmmm?
Have we all become animals again?
If some deep dark jungles bare people that still act like predator and prey....Then do you really think that sending domesticated people like American's into a complete solitude...where there is a lack of a system of punishment and a bare need for consequence...Do you think that animal thinking will come back to a hoard of men with a small percentage of women?

Call me simplistic, but if this were my ad campaign, I'd propose a different slogan: "Bacon. Because it's really fucking good."
[Read the article: How do you sell a pork chop to a woman?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Venison--Because baby cow's are cute."
Nail polish and meat...Do they think that women sit around all day and think about their nail polish...
If they really want to sell it to women...Pre-cook it and put it into a bag full of ready made vegetables and noodles or something. We are more worried about how fast we can cook diner so that little johnny can sit his little ass down and stop annoying the hell out of us.
