  • BS is Guilty as Charged!!!

    [Read the article: Are our husbands really so helpless?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    "But with our gibes and our jests and our sitcom-worthy eye-rolling shrugs, are we not colluding in the continuation of this gender dynamic? Is it -- dare I say it? -- perhaps even a dynamic of our own making? Is there an air of self-satisfaction -- even smugness -- in our put-upon posture? Are we, in fact, invested in this image of male domestic helplessness, taking secret pride in portraying ourselves as the only ones who can really get things done around the house?"

    Yes. This is man-bashing. Stereotyping. Idiotic. And obnoxious.

    AND BROADSHEET HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS

  • Where Feminism Meets Socialism

    [Read the article: And baby makes two]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I was reading today about China, with it's 30 MILLION "surplus" males -- who cannot find a Chinese woman. And I just wondered: Why can't these women here import a Chinese husband?

    And then it struck that THEY DON'T WANT A HUSBAND. They want a kid -- without a man. They WANT to be a single working mother "family".

    And these are the same women that will bitch about the cost of day-care. And say the gov't should supply it. And give them months of work off at full pay. And demand accomodations in every place they go on earth for bottles and breastmilk, etc.

    When you think of the resources these single women will demand from the country -- The Nanny State, in their eyes -- you realize that single women are basically a driving force for socialism. They will seek to replace the lost second income and lost time for child-care with subsidized services.

    And no surprise. Socialism replaces the family with the state. It seeks to break the nuclear bond to build the "communal" bond in it's place.

    I think this is one more sign that feminism and socialism dovetail -- and lead to disaster.

  • Getting rid of Dad means getting rid of GRANDPARENTS

    [Read the article: And baby makes two]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I had one more thought. Basically, old people are living much longer. So that makes it easier to be a single mom. B/c there is grandma and grandpa to pitch in.

    In fact, I see that all the time with girls who OOPS got pregnant and SURPRISE end up alone with their babies. They are basically replacing child care and income by mooching on their parents.

    Fine so far. The problem?

    These kids have only one set of Grandparents. And their own kids will NOT HAVE ANY GRANDPARENTS -- JUST GRANDMA.

    When I think of that I think that it is truly sad. And there is a lot of evidence that grandparents make a big difference in child-rearing. I think this is a real problem for this KNOCK YOURSELF UP, NO MAN NO PROBLEM approach.

  • Women are dangerous . . . and they get a free pass

    [Read the article: What's so funny about abusive girlfriends?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I know several guys who got assaulted by their GF or wives. And you know what happened when they got a restraining order? She got one, too, then claimed abuse, and got to take their house.

    That is what happened b/c the court ALWAYS BELIEVES THE WOMAN.

    hell, Mary Winkler murdered her man, suggested maybe he abused her, and walked with the insurance money.

    This is why we object so strenuously to feminism. B/c feminists today are running up the score, turning the once-patriarchal powers against men, and becoming the evil they once opposed.

    This is what that nobel prize winner was talking about. It's nasty business.

    Incidentally, I'd bet that all the estrogen-mimicking chemicals in the environment have something to do with it. They are making men less manly and women more agressive.

    In any case, if any woman hit me, I'd hit her back twice as hard, b/c that is self-defense. And I am not going to wait for someone to break my bones to fight back. But I know that only I would go to jail for it. And that is why feminism is rotten (and Hillary is a menace).

  • Birth control and iron overload are an issue

    [Read the article: Is thyroid disease the new hysteria?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Birth control pills reduce menstruation resulting in iron retention. Iron is basically toxic above minimal levels and it deposits in various organs including thyroid. The vast number of pill users tracks the increase of hypo-thyroidism. It also explains the four-fold increase in heart-attacks among pill users which begin to approach the rate of heart disease in men -- iron is very damaging to the heart.

    Anyway, here again, we see how feminism is dangerous. Women start off on the pill in their teens, and feeling empowered, they take it for twenty years. They think it's a political statement. Control of their bodies. Etc. But they have NO IDEA what they are doing to their bodies. The bone density loss, the iron accumulating, hypothyroidism, etc. They are guinea pigs, making big pharma rich, egged on by feminists.

    Yet argue against the pill and you are slammed as a conservative nut-job anti-woman, etc. It's sad. I never let my GF take it even though it would have been more convenient for me -- and when she learned of all the side effects she thanked me for it.

    One wonders -- why in the world do we **subsidize** such a dangerous and non-essential medication?

    Well, b/c "empowered" women demanded it...

    Sometimes, you get what you deserve.

  • Get a gun and use it . . .

    [Read the article: Harassment by design]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    You take away anybody's ability to defend themselves and the weak suffer the most. That would be women in Japan.

    This is a strong argument for armaments. I dare anyone to grope a woman in VA, where concealed carry is legal. When your balls meet the angry end of a 9mm, your groping days will be long gone.

    I wonder: how many feminists favor gun control?

  • Who is Glenn Sacks?

    [Read the article: Is there such a thing as a healthy tan? ]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    What does he have to do with Vitamin D and sunlight? Is he a feminist? Why does he support Broadsheet? Is Glenn Sacks a self-hating and self-abnegating man? Or just a retarded monkey?

    (yes, that's what you get for your spam)

  • Someone should squash that trooper's head like a pumpkin under a truck tire
