[Read the article: Does acting like "one of the boys" make you more likely to be harassed?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]brings up a good point I was starting to allude to.
women traipse around demanding all men treat them all fairly. The world is unfair. If a man treats you well, it is because he wants something from you.
This is not gender based but is a fact of life. he will treat a guy the same way- if he wants an ally, he will treat him well.
In the same way, a woman treating a man well wants something from the man, be it his hand, attention, or even to get a boost from his coattails. If she is disregarding or even disparaging him, then it is fair to say she does not want anything from him. Should all men demand to be treated well all the time by all women? Of course not, it is illogical.
Yet we are treated to this same diatribe from feminists week after week after godddam week.
Wanna be treated well? Hang around decent generous people, regardless of sex.
But quit putting down men all the time as if men are not supposed to follow logic and common sense. The world is a big bad place. Can't stand it? Get out.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I only post about 45 minutes a day on Salon. Not enough big juicy stuff to bite into on this site anymore (unlike the good old days last year).

[Read the article: Does acting like "one of the boys" make you more likely to be harassed?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How Scem33 defines words (like most feminists)--
"constructive" - I agree with the poster
"unconstructive" - I disagree with the [illegtimate troll] who has the &*$*#* gall not to just die right on the spot because I disagree with it, whatever rock IT crawled out from under.

You people want examples of harassment?
[Read the article: Does acting like "one of the boys" make you more likely to be harassed?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]These are called issues for a reason. Nobody owns them. Nobody has the last word. For example, there's all kinds of female-on-male harassment. I'm male, and experienced being publicly screamed at, humiliated and seriously mistreated by women I worked for.
Oy vey, tell me about it. At my last job I had to finally quit after the incessant harassment of the in house bitch who was number two at the local office. She would publicly berate any one she disagreed with and would hold strange grudges against people. And let's not get into the personal attacks. She had it in for me from the first day because I was in a role with a similar level of power and I could not be squooshed under her thumb and made to do her bidding. The only reason they keep her around is because she is willing to not have a private life but to work 80 hour weeks for piddle pay.
It has gotten to the point after this example and others where I also worked under women where I will seriously reconsider if I want to even work for a female boss in the future.

I, of all people,
[Read the article: Does acting like "one of the boys" make you more likely to be harassed?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]actually *winced* slightly at some of the Onion articles last week. I guess attitudes are different in Wisconsin or Michigan or wherever the Onion hails out of.
The best was the article on how women are 'empowered' by EVERYTHING.

A lot cheaper
[Read the article: A shot for your spot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]than the shot would be a dildo you can wear all the time that is [gently] directed at the g-spot. Why pump up your organ when the mechanism seems to be merely how much room is in there (what is touching what) and that the stimulation occurs in the right spot?
This should and does work for men too, by the way, with prostate massage which is the analog to the g-spot in women. For men there is the Aneros which is designed for exactly this purpose and is intended to be worn everywhere.

This should be reflected in the salaries of nannies
[Read the article: Are you being mommified?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]since they perform most of the work of moms. And it is not.
An analogous situation I can describe is architects. I was in the field for a long time, I know. If you were to tabulate all the range of tasks architects have to perform competently or better, how much time they spend learning it all, how important the work is to the future of a society, on and on, you would tabulate a much higher salary than the piddle shit most architects get paid. Part of the problem is the perceived lack of value of nice buildings, part of it is that people do not want to pay someone who is drawing and doing things people perceive as FUN and CREATIVE and therefore of less value.
This is why attorneys also get paid a lot more than architects, the work looks unfun and it is critical to the client that the outcome favor them or else.
Maybe moms need a lobby, but it ought to be gender neutral and men should be able to be part of this. As it stands now, women (despite the propagnada) are really not interested in ceding the task of 'mom' to men, particularly to COMPETENT men who seem to be ENJOYING themselves being 'moms'.
Frankly, I know of no job on this planet as emotionally satisfying and fun as raising a child of your own flesh and blood into a good responsible adult. Moms have so much fun (again, despite the propaganda), it is no wonder soeicty devalues it.

Also
[Read the article: Are you being mommified?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]did they include the cost of her sexual services to the husband?
at 3 times a week, this becomes 150 times say, I don't know, $300 a pop (since the hooker knows the client and his peccadillos so well). That's another $45,000 a year.
Really, I do not know why men do not just chop off their arms and hand them to their wife before prostrating himself for the final sword blow to his neck.
