    about how a male is not allowed to state an opinion that does not agree with feminist orthodoxy without him being smacked by false accusations and deliberate heinous personal attacks.

    I'll remember how I am treated by you women the next time a woman asks me to listen to her opinion on anything.

    tit for tat, baby. And the men (and SOCIETY) are winning against the isolated and desperate feminists.

    I consider Feminists mentally ill, but even I do not have the nerve to tell them to go see a therapist.

    tell her that daddy is an idiot now and he is gone from her life forever.

    Because only men are obliged to never have the right to change his life.

    tell her that he/she will now wear a skirt, put on lipstick, speak in a prissy manner, have longer hair. because this is what these people do - this is their idea of a woman.

    If he does not do this, how will he be considered female? After all, I act on these boards everyday like a HYSTERICAL DEMANDING SELFISH FEMINIST and am not taken as equivalent to a 'female' by anyone. Can you imagine how hard it would be for a mannish looking man to pass his ideas off as 'female'?

    god, i hate these men.

    Welcome! That puts you into the same category as all feminists and most American women. Never said females actually had to follow the rules they want all men to follow, to be openminded or anything.

    they know nothing about being or looking like a woman. they are caricatures. women come with ovaries and eggs, not just some implantable hormones.

    But 'daddies' can be anyone, even if they are born female and have never smoked a cigar. we're on to you women and your definitions and the perfect little places you have prepared for us men.

    our culture is going nuts here and children are getting caught in this mess. there are other ways to express your feminine side, if you wish.

    men can express their feminine side?!? show me how MEN ARE ALLOWED TO DO this without being considered SOCIAL PARIAHS by women and society. AND [surprise!] all evidence shows women are leading the charge to keep men in their narrow predefined gender roles. And as for the culture going nuts, blame feminists, not men for it. When a child has 'two mommies', how is a man to blame for that?

    but the ones i have seen are like monsters and look like poor imitations of women. since i am a woman i will say stay out of our ladies rooms. i spotted one once and i fled.

    I have seen many ugly genetically XX women in my life, but I never tell them to take the spandex off their fat ass and hide, nor do I tell them to quit wearing that skirt because their legs look like a bombed out boulevard in Bagdad.

    I always say, if anyone is bigoted, it is that person or group that accuses others of it, in this case women always accusing men of bigotry, but themselves being as much or more bigoted. Your case proves this, given an ability for you to express your true feelings, you are proving that you, like many women, have a difficult time being nonjudgemental and fair and nonbigoted PARTICULARLY TOWARDS MEN who you want to keep in a narrow straightjacket for your personal PLEASURE.

    WAKE UP BABY! you women wanted all the freedoms on the planet with none of the responsibilities. Did you think men would not take the cue from you losers and DEMAND or pursue the same for themselves?

    Frankly, I agree with ANY man that wants to become a woman because I think that means that man is AWAKE and ALIVE and AWARE and realizes what a RAW DEAL average men get in life compared to average women. Men are not allowed to express themselves emotionally unless it is at a football game. Men are not allowed to be physically spiritual and present in their lives as divine beings. They must be tough, crude, and charming snakes one step from the gates of hell if they are to be considered serious contenders for women's affections. The men must always do the pursuing. and if you are not too good looking, good luck even getting anyone but a desperate fat troglodyte, who frankly, can get laid by the neighborhood hottie too. And never mind how a man cannot make a baby unless he is either rich, hot, charming, or lying. YOu are an average guy who is not a good playa? Forget about breeding. Women decide this for you.

    Women trump men in life. I am talking about the average man and the average woman and their choices, freedoms, and rights-- WOMEN WIN, hands down, and more and more men are realizing it.

    Oh, for me to be born again as an 18 year old woman with a brain, an attitude and the freedom to do as she pleases with her life...

  • Thank You AKA

    You are onto my 'game' and I salute you for granting me the space to opine. You are far superior to many women in this regard in that you are willing to hear me out and to grant me the right to my opinion.

    It would be more fun if you would challenge my declarations, but maybe some other day.

    And the whole 'womb envy' thing is not so strange. A poll taken a few years ago in Europe exposed that 40% of European men wished they had a vagina. I do not see why this ratio should be much different in the States.

    if feminists are "...depraved and illogical and INHUMAN..." why do you want us to have children? I would think that you would be THRILLED that we would abort.

    Is there any choice in the matter? Only women can bear children, this does not absolve them from criticism.
