    "1) There will never be a matriarchy. The men won't allow it, and the women don't really want it. A small minority, like you, fantasize about it, but most don't really want to run the show."

    Reply: There are a growing number of men that want matriarchal rule, and the number of women that want matriarchal rule is growing. Actually it isn't so much that they want matriarchal rule, but rather that they are fed up and sick of the incompetent patriarchal status quo.

    "2) Corporations and businesses don't care, at all, about what happens to working mothers. Businesses exist to make money. Period."

    Reply: What you is sad but true, and it further explains why growing number of men and women are fed up and sick of the incompetent patriarchal status quo.

    "3) The economic changes we're all allegedly seeing are not the result of feminism. They're the result of economics."

    Reply: Wrong, they are the result of social and technological changes, that we are seeing world wide, that make the feminine charms of resourcefulness, budget balancing, nurturing attitude, and cooperation across all boundaries very appealing to global markets.

    "4) Unless you work at a magazine, or don't work at all, I doubt very much you would say any of what you just wrote to your boss."

    Reply: That's a judgment call on your part, anonymous, that rather reflects that you are an insensitive pig more than anything else.

    "5) There are plenty of female bedmates out there. I just have to pick one. If I don't like the one I've got, I can replace her."

    Reply: I assume you are talking about prostitutes, however I have hard time imagining that even prostitutes would go anywhere near you.

    "6) Most women are mediocre mothers."

    Reply: This is a remake on your part that further reflects how you think, and more evidence that you are an insensitive pig.

    Better be careful, if mothers find out who you are, a lot of them will kick the shit out of you (as well as a lot of loving husbands that were offended by your remark).

  • Flaw In raiders6704 Argument!

    Raider, as usually, you're boring, and as usual there are flaws in your arguments.

    You wrote:

    "The women who are wives and mothers are happy, well adjusted and fulfilled."

    You omitted the fact that a lot of wives and mothers have careers, and they want, or enjoy having, equal pay in the work environment without fear of glass ceilings.

    You also omitted that the wives are happy because they are not married to old guard, insensitive pig, proponents of the patriarchal status quo, men, but rather to modern men that were raised quite often by single mothers who enjoyed the benefits of the "liberation" that feminist got started in the 1960s (or in families were both parents were present, but the mother had a career).

    That "liberation" that you spoke of is not complete, but it's getting there.

    "I was not put on this earth to pay for female employees that feel I should subsidize their personal choices. If it is my kid I will pay. If it is someone else's they get to pay."

    Ghingis Can, why don't just come out and say it, you hate other people's kids, and pregnant women that you didn't knock up.

    Kids are the future, you bonehead. If we don't take care of all of our nations kids and the pregnant mommies, then we have no future. You don't want help kids and pregnant women, that's fine, but only if you are will to be excused from the human race.

  • Slight correction!

    To Ghingis Can,

    You don't want help out kids and pregnant women, that's fine, but only if you are willing to be excused from the human race.

    "A gun as an equalizer is merely a symbol that brute force via muscle will no longer rule in the future. It doesn't take much muscle power to pull a trigger. Can you be so sure that when men say that they won't let women be empowered that women will never use force to get what they need to survive and prosper?"

    That's true, but women won't need brute force to take over the world. Resourcefulness, Intelligence, business smarts, budget balancing abilities, concern for the environment, cooperation across boarders and boundaries, and a general caring attitude are going to be the waves of the future in the flat Earth, network centric age, and the matriarchy will come to power because the feminine virtues will become more economically and socially viable than what men have to offer (how many security guards are we really going to need, and actually women make better security guards today, because they don't rape). And in the future there will be more female leaders, because... well, women are better leaders.

  • The real question

    [Read the article: Hillary Clinton: Nope, still not gay]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The question isn't is Hillary gay; it's, are all strong female leaders gay?

    Apparently we believe only people who dig p*ssy, will try to take on leadership roles (this applies to both men and women).

    Every woman seeking a leadership role is automatically accused of being a lesbian for this very reason.

    Nothing and no one has ever provided any evidence that Hillary digs p*ssy, but because she is occupying a leadership role, the suspicion exist.

    America wake up; just because a woman is seeking a leadership role, does not mean she digs p*ssy.

    And considering how popular lesbians are, and there are a lot of out of-the-closet lesbians in politics, I'm sure if any lesbian is seeking a leadership role, she's not going to hide her true sexuality. In today's more lesbian friendly world, there is little reason for a lesbian to want to stay in the closet.

    That paparazzi that took that video of Bill and Hillary dancing in their swim wear a decade back, was evidence enough that Hillary's into Bill. Possible (but highly unlikely) that she might be bi, but she definitely digs Bill.
