I can remember, I hate too admit, how ferociously condom use was promoted, (I'm talking about the pre aids era) on the grounds that men should "share the responsiblity" for contraception, lots of women though men should wear condoms even if the woman was using something so they could experience this shared responsiblity. It was obvious though that sex with condoms was simply prefered to sex without them regardless of the rationale. Do a thought emperiment: "Honey, I like feeling close to you but I just don't like the feeling of your pussy jucie all over me, you understand don't you?" I can't wait for the male pill and hopefully soon effective disesae control, no good reason for excuses then.

a penis the way men like and value women simply because they are women, rather than the way it is now and has always been, that men have to prove themselves by doing something in order to have a social existence, then men might change. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

innately different but at the same time provide an intellectually respectable basis for women always being right. It's not as easy as it sounds.

and maybe she shouldn't, given how much trouble it is apparently causing, but it is more than understandable why she would want to, both so she can get some extra consideration (which is reasonable), and because if he doesn't know then she will have to explain, or even worse not explain, why she doesn't know what is going on, why she is so uncomfortable, why she can't do anything, etc. etc. Sure, maybe none of this will be an issue, but why expect or assume that complete lack of familiarity with what is going on won't be noticed. He may begin to suspect at some point what she hasn't told him and wonder why, when he asks about it in the middle of things would that be easier than bringing it up beforehand?

long period of time it is often there own fault, I mean a consequence of their own choices. Overweigh, lack of fitness, emtionally based refusal to modify their environment, anxieity, willingness to accept help, more rather than less sensitivy to problems etc. I know there are many exceptions to this and many of the people who are in this position now got themselves into it before knowledge of what they should do to avoid the problems was less common. Because most caregivers are female lots of women seem to assume most of the cared for are male when this isn't the case. It's true that most caregivers are female, but femaleness disproportionately produces people needing care. If you discount war and accidents (which should decline in the future) the disproportion is greater. It is probably true the the "cost" per patient to take care of men is greater.

If all women behaved in an extremely subdued fasion the hottest ones would still be listened to by men. In fact the only way, over the long(not that long) term to prevent women from making economic use of their natural talents is some sort of Taliban like system, and that only works when women are tied down all their lives by kids and where men's physical strength has economic significance and can be used to control women. Look at all the tweaking that has to be done on "The Apprentice" to avoid the natural result of the men being left entirely out of the picture.

they will be doing very well. If an engagement had legal status this advice might make sense, but since it doesn't I suppose it might encourage women to sleep with a better class of men. In order to have any effect at all though the ring can't be returned when the engagement ends.

started going to medical school. I think that for men, but not women, sex would trump food (almost)every time.

They should be sittting..um..pretty but obviusly aren't. Admittedly when it comes to long term relationships the sexes are more equal in their desperation, but it is still men who have to convince women and not the other way around. Maybe someone should write a book "Are Women Necessary"...no I guess that doesn't sound quite right.

that I have never heard except from young conservative men. I guess progress is truly being made towards equality, androgony, and all those other good things.

provoke a backlash against Jews. They were the ones who manufactured and helped sell the country on the disastrous Iraq adventure and unlike Bush and his idiot fundie supporers they can't plead ignorance and stupidity.

Women's relationships with men are, now, truly voluntary in a way that they weren't in the past and that men's relations with women (for other reasons) never were. Since one party to the discussion, negotionation, whatever it is uniliterally has the right to define the terms of the "debate", set all the limits of what is and isn't negotionable, determine (for both of them) the TRUE meaning of everything that is going on, what is left to do?

that women make about men. Yes of course the complaints are somewhat different, but isn't humor about expressing things that don't have a direct acceptable outlet? Men are supposed to be understanding of female "humour" about men as long as women behave reasonably, shouldn't the same standard apply to women?

if you wanted to suck on a cock shaped lolipop. Whaterever happened to the idea of equality?
