Growing up I was always depressed by the media which thought it was a laugh to depict men as pathetic, bumbling fools regardless if they were single or married. Always at fault during a divorce, they should just gracefully accept the excision of their children and their life savings when their marriages break down. I got the message, men are dumb, useless creatures, women are victims. Women fight against joint custody, then call men deadbeats. They deny male victims of domestic violence, and call all men rapists and wifebeaters. No wonder so many men resist commitment like the plague.

So is it any wonder that some men accept that a sizable percentage of women have made settling down a risky, dangerous venture for men? They quit looking and get on with their lives.

It's unfortunately, but it's life in the here and now. Maybe the younger generation will get this sorted out but it's too late for the female Xers.

Slow and dull games, heavily subsidized from the start.

We all knew privileged white, college educated feminists were pretty racist (see comments by Geraldine Ferraro during the election and previous BS article on Michelle Obama's backside).

Until now, we didn't know the extent of your racism. Now we do.

Unbelievable.

Isn't there some way you all could blame men for this?

Slow news day, huh.

Maybe she can feed some of Nadya Suleyman's kids.

She's a simple empowered feminist single mom with 14 mouths to feed.

We're paying for their expenses here in California.

Her body, our taxes.

Well, we're going to pay for the delivery costs, at about $100K/child =$800K

Post delivery care costs to date are at $155K, assuming they remain in the hospital for 12 weeks total (not unusual for preemies) = $800K

The March of Dimes cites the cost in the first year of raising Preemies at $41K. Let's assume about half that, @ $20K per kid = $160K

Looks like a lot more than $10,000/year for the first year. At about $1.7 million, it's at about 100X the $10,000 figure.

Looking forward to Indian women being implanted with multiple embryos and acting in self-produced dirty movies.

American feminism needs to influence other, unenlightened, brown cultures that do not have the wisdom of upper middle class, college-educated, white American female insight.

Empowering.

An empowered woman just gave birth to 8 beautiful children.

She is not to blame, but the male doctor who performed the IVF is.

She is a passive victim of The Patriarchy. When will men end this oppression?

A man needs a woman like a bicycle needs a fish.

He sounds like all those female teachers who blithely see no crime when they molest young teenage boys.

Like them, he got a slap on the wrist, as well.

Male children molested by women can be liable for child support.

Invalid men assaulted by able bodied women are liable for child support.

Drunk men assaulted by sober women are liable for child support.

It's called "strict liability". Your fiance is a wise man.

It's cojones, not cajones. The latter means "boxes" not "balls".

Empowering, powerful stuff.

The Matriarchy is here and now.

Embrace the new Gender Paradigm, the one predicted in herstory by all of our foremothers.

Vagina.

I guess YOU didn't read the article.

The only thing out in force is The Goddess.

Vagina.

Liebovitz is famous in NYC for her complete lack of financial planning. She owes money for renovations on a town house, equipment rentals, and has a host of other debts.

She's also got more than one mortgage on homes in NYC.

There is no "gay tax". There are "consequences for not living within your means".

matriarchy (n.): A social system in which the mother is head of household, having authority over men and children; A system of government by females

Domestic violence statutes overwhelmingly applied only to female victims - check

Presumption of superior fitness for custody issues in divorce proceedings - check

Overwhelming government monies for special health care needs even though men die on average much earlier than women - check

Less harsh sentences for all crimes including sexual molestation of children - check

Special status in terms of set-asides, discounts and grants for government services and funding - check

Female Secretary of State, female Presidential candidates, yet not satisfied with parity in government - check

Special consideration for sexual crimes committed against women, hate crime legislation, etc. , but no such special treatment for male victims - check

It's called a matriarchy. We who are vaginally deficient get it. We live it.

Enjoy your cats and your hysterectomy.

"As we have seen, women are just as good at killing and oppressing as men are. (Remember Abu Ghraib?) Women have proven in many ways that they can be just as cutthroat as men are. It seems to me that the true feminist revolution will take place not when women gain power by acting like men, but when both men and women gain power by acting like women -- not weak, simpering and man-pleasing, but nurturing, sensitive, compassionate, truthful, and healing.

The contradictions in your post are pretty clear.

I'm thinking of some female rulers right now:

Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I, Queen Isabella of Spain (ah, the Spanish Inquisition!)....the list goes on and on.

Hardly "nurturing, sensitive, compassionate, truthful, and healing".

Two assholes who shouldn't have had kids. The mom of course, cuts the father out of their lives post-divorce (very common), and turns the whole thing into a soap opera for her book.

Pathetic and self absorbed, the story is lapped up by the feminist liberal elite of America.

I await Octomom's memoirs in ten years. I am sure a similar reception is in line for that book, too.
