More femi-nazi griping
[Read the article: Buckle up those fetuses!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Get a life. You have a problem with a seat-belt campaign? Next you'll be upset with MADD. And let me guess, you don't like to hear about fetal alcohol syndrome, either. Why are we worrying about a fetus?
Oops... b/c it will turn into a person, if an abortionist doesn't get to it first.

So you fucked a lot of guys and got used
[Read the article: The album that made me a feminist]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oldest story in the book. That's what happens when you're a slut. Why didn't you hold off and wait for a good guy? B/c you just didn't feel like it. And don't tell us you didn't enjoy the sex.
Make your bed,
and lie in it
(and fuck in it,
and cry in it)

RE: "ass-kicking female politicians (aka Clinton)"
[Read the article: Real female heroes: Ingrid Betancourt]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are you just kissing Joan's butt or does she make you put that in there? What about all of her various "mis-statements" (aka lies)? Her pro-war whoring? And her middle-of-the-raod sell-out stance on most liberal issues like abortion?
Or, as long as she doesn't have a penis, she is the best candidate?

The reason women don't get respect
[Read the article: Choose one: Sex or respect]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is their self-defeating behavior. They have a one night stand with a cocky guy they met at the club or bar. Then are upset he doesn't call the next day and ask about their feelings. The cocky guy thinks that is stupid -- he didn't advertise himself as mr. sensitive, and a bar or club is not where relationships start. And the sensitive guy thinks that is stupid -- he could offer what the women say they want, except that they don't really want it from him.
If women were more straightforward and said, "We want cool, cocky, good-looking guys who know how to fuck us right, and we are not going to expect them to turn into sensitive, thoughtful, good providers for our families," then both types of guys would respect them more. It would show that women are at least reasonable about these things.
However, many guys would still denigrate such behavior, b/c sleeping around is a great way to spread disease, get accidentally pregnant, etc. And some men want a woman who appreciates something more than mere animal qualities.
Moreover, societies that become saturated in sex tend to self-destruct b/c they neglect more important issues. Our society is living way over the limit of sustainability -- and much of that is b/c of a culture that sells us sex into the red. If we were not so sex obsessed, we wouldn't have so many clothes, so many neuroses, etc. etc.

This is what JAIL is for
[Read the article: Best reason to cab it: The subway groper]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Put the perv behind bars for 3 to 5. He can get all his rubbing done there. And he'll be lucky if he isn't rubbed out.

And you are watching why?
[Read the article: I now pronounce you ... seriously unhinged]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]B/c you're a voyeur. That's why. You like it. Own up.

Hilarious how many women are APPALLED that they could now get caught so easily

It's called "Social Proof"
[Read the article: Do women prefer men who play team sports?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Women want men with lots of cool friends. A sports team generally qualifies as lots of cool friends. There might be an evolutionary reason -- protection from enemies, sperm donations from other players, backup dates all lined up -- but every boy knows the popular kids are on the athletic teams. And the loners date their hand.

So what?
[Read the article: Loves walks on the beach and ... money laundering]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why don't you dredge up every bad thing a man ever did to a woman and post it here? The real romance scam is marriage and divorce--and women are the ones making out like bandits.

John Prescott is a fat political clown
[Read the article: Old, fat, male ... and bulimic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But so are a lot of Broadsheet writers. And when I say "fat political clown", I mean that in the most respectful possible way ;-).

"I got into Harvard on affirmative action and even taking only 3/4 of the workload I can't keep up..."
[Read the article: Desperately unhappy in the top Ivy League school]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Did I mention I go to a really good school in Cambridge that isn't MIT? Anyway, now I think I'll transfer to Stanford b/c surely that will be easier."
This is why I don't believe in affirmative action. Most of the black, hispanic, and native american Harvard students under-perform. The Jews, Asians, and Eastern Europeans out-perform. And the WASPs drink it up in the finals clubs like their grand-daddies did.

Here's some real advice for our writer:
"Don't worry, be happy."
1. Don't worry. That's right. The free pass that got you in will get you out. It will take you all the way to the Board Room, or the Supreme Court, in fact. You just got to sit around for four years to collect it.
2. Be happy. Just you go down to Student Health Services and tell them you feel like jumping in front of a bus and want some happy pills. If they resist, note that you are "a woman and a minority", and so your life is immeasurably more difficult than any old white male could imagine. Your happy pills will be dispense with all deliberate speed.
~
Good luck. One day you'll be made a supreme court justice. A secretary of state. Or whatever other thing The Man wants to do with you.
(or you could suck it up, get over yourself and your big entitlement mentality, and start earning it. but, nah. that almost sounds like work. and whining is sooooo much easier...)

Why don't women buy their own engagement rings?
[Read the article: Too bad to keep, too good to hock]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A wife is no longer the prize she once was. She's more a liability than an asset. The major liability is divorce. Then ongoing health and living expenses which increase with age. And then everything else. So why must a man giver her an expensive piece of junk to start this deal?
Since it's usually women insisting on marriage why don't the women buy the rings? Or how about whoever insists on the legal religious contract pays for the accessories? Same goes for the wedding ceremony, bride's dress, and all the other atrociously over-priced props from an industry that preys on female Barbie Doll fantasies. Most guys could live just fine without any of it whatsoever.
