you're certainly right on one level jch but surely you can see that
[Read the article: Do women want male brothels?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]deciding how much men should be punished, or their complaints discounted, disreagared, etc. based on the past and the present elsewhere, etc. etc creates a situation that can never be resolved. Everyone just has to try and understand reality, all of it, and figure out what to do.

Biology needs to be the ally of humanism
[Read the article: "Women want smaller waists, not bigger IQs"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]not considered it's enemy. Of course people are more than their instincts but some here are illustrating perfectly the tradition puritan hatred of the body in a new and ideologically updated form.

By body I'm not just referring to the literal body but to the instinctive
[Read the article: "Women want smaller waists, not bigger IQs"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]parts of the brain, emotions, etc. with with it is directly connected, particularly those relating to sex which have been and very obviously still are the most interesting and troublesome, although those relating to food are not without their current challenges.

many more old men are trying to sleep with old women now
[Read the article: Do women want male brothels?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]than there are women willing to sleep with them. It's kind of interesting that women spend so much time complaining about how unnattractive most men are and then in the next breath complain about the fact that all men are supposedly only sleeping with hot young women. Maybe there is something to the idea that women are bad at math.
-
Well I wouldn't overstate the case
[Read the article: Bitches but no dicks]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As far as only men denigrating other men, effeimate or otherwise. I don't think women would be very interested in a straight man who didn't want to do anything. It almost sounds as if you're saying that woman don't and never have made any demands on men that men have any reason to complain about or even be aware of. I think that overstates it a bit.

You must have been single before the invention of the internet personal ad
[Read the article: Is "marrying up" going down?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]or else lived in a very small town. Why don't you try posting an ad and see what response you get. Really the situation is very clear cut. I suppose it isn't so nice to post an ad and have people respond under false preteneses, but ask any woman who has ever done any online dating, or date looking. When easily demonstrated facts are the subject of endless debate people naturally wonder what is going on.

Yes I'm sure a woman could walk into any bar and shout "I'm horny, fuck me"
[Read the article: Do women want male brothels?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]she can do this, with the added convenience of doing it online, and they absolutely WILL. I know people here know what the internet is so this just isn't making any sense. The only explanation I can think of is that when women say "man" they really mean "attractive man".
-
What is kind of ironic about all this is that most people.
[Read the article: "Women want smaller waists, not bigger IQs"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]other than the very old, could be VERY healthy if they would do a few very simple things and could spend 30-60 minutes a day to exercise. It's much harder to change intelligence, or for that matter, looks.
-
It's absolutely demonstrably true that anyone can be
[Read the article: "Women want smaller waists, not bigger IQs"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]thin. What they can't do is control where on the body any fat they do have is distriubted. Men have an advantage in this area since the fat is more evenly distriubted, on the other hand a good body is much less socially valuable to a man than a woman.

I think attitutudes towards prostitution would change a lot
[Read the article: Do women want male brothels?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]if lots of women were known to be paying for sex on a regular basis. It would not be possible and it would not happen that the men would be regarded as victims, so the only way to maintain the current attitudes would be to somehow convince people that the situation with male whores was different in a meaningfull way that the situation with female ones. Come on ladies, open up those, um, pursues and strike a blow for freedom for everyone.

It's a little bizarre that some women give the impression that they
[Read the article: Bitches but no dicks]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]aren't aware that there are lots of widely used negative terms relating to males, male anatomy, etc. etc. I guess it's another case of "blacks can't be racists cause it's only whites who have power" kind of "arugment".
-
There may abe another reason why men can't deal with a much smarter woman
[Read the article: "Women want smaller waists, not bigger IQs"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If every woman has, to some at lease some degree, a chip on her shoulder regarding men, then the man has to be intelligent enough to respond without getting mad and without (tacitly)addmitting inferiority. If he isn't smart enough to do this the relationship probably will not work.

caringtoo your lifelong quest for enlightenment is about to be satisfied
[Read the article: Do women want male brothels?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]An AVERAGE man will pay an AVERAGE woman for sex, an AVERAGE woman will not pay an AVERAGE man for sex. This explains why there are many MORE female prostitutes, there have always been a few men who could sell sex to women, just not many. Most can't and most of the few who can don't

If you think the pill kills interest in sex what do you think having kids does?
[Read the article: Does the Pill make women less interested in sex?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's kind of funny that women would interpret a lack of interest in sex on the part of women as being the result of a male conspiracy. I guess it must be an unintended result

[Read the article: Swedish sex shop bombing]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]20 years ago it might have been a different story
-
That isn't the point.
[Read the article: Do women want male brothels?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The men she intends to employ aren't average. I don't say women haven't and won't pay for sex, only that, because women are pickier, that they don't pay for it as often as men do.
-
If you want to know what is going on you have to look at the evidence.
[Read the article: Do women want male brothels?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]there's a lot more of it than you might think.

Why is it self loathing
[Read the article: Bitches but no dicks]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Nobody minds a girl being a girl, it's men who can't be girls because they have to do something for girls that girls can't do for themselves to be of any use. Now, the fact that there is ANYTHING that girls can't do for themselves might be considered a problem by some.

t's very simple.
[Read the article: Bitches but no dicks]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There is a reason why "girl" is an insult to men and it has NOTHING to do with devaluing actual girls.

Lots of money is spent on medical/cosmetic problems that
[Read the article: Does the Pill make women less interested in sex?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]aren't life threatending.
Men are clamboring for male contraception, but making men infertile is much harder than making women infertile because womens' systems have a natural mechanism for going off and on that can be manipulated.
The reason heart disease is seen as a male disease is because women have believed that heart disesase is caused by men being fat and lazy and because many women prefer to believe that women mostly die from "womens" diseases becasue this provides ammunition for the argument that women are being abused and neglected.

Where prostitution is legal and available to everyone willing to pay for it
[Read the article: Do women want male brothels?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]such as in Nevada, there are far fewer women than men buying it and there is no reason to believe that the market wouldn't supply as much as women wanted to pay for.
-
Hey I said if, so I was intentionally being speculative.
[Read the article: "Women want smaller waists, not bigger IQs"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If it isn't true, great. I've said all along that I think it's smart women who have problems with men, not the other way around.
