unless a woman is raped, women are the gatekeepers who decide if there is sex or not.
Lots of good men are very picky about who and how many women they sleep with. Why punish them for their good sense and decency?
On the other hand, too many women are disease spreaders. They sleep with random men whose sole criterium for selecting men is that the men are practiced 'lay' experts who know to take off the next day before sunrise and never give their real name. This sexual free market is deplorable and all too often driven by women who cannot say no to a sexy ass. These women spread disease, but are never held accountable for it.
Sure, the players who work this market also spread disease, but all the action would stop if only the women said so. I DARE YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG ON THIS.
So again, why should good men who have no interest in free and easy random lays get punished along with the skanks?
only plays into women's desire to breed with stupid guys. They make it easier for their daughters to lord it over the [now stupider] next generation of men.
It is this universal desire for women to find a guy who is not quite as swift as the woman that ultimately leads to such atrocities as male genital mutilation being endorsed by women in the first world while the men put up with women carping about female genital mutilation occurring CONTINENTS AWAY.
I have to step into this steaming pile of BS
First of all, the 'men as oppressors' crap really needs to stop. Men only do what women demand of them.
It is not about 'single representatives', it is about my gender as a whole. Not too many women starting wars or doing honor killings or forcing their laws on men's bodies and so on and so forth. This is Man's Work. Sure, you can find examples of women being monstrous, but you have to look for them. With men, just open a history book or a newspaper and the examples fall right out by the dozen.
Talk about a steaming pile of party line BS. Need I remind ignorant women like this fool that women overwhelmingly voted more for GWB these past two elections than did men? If the 'oppressor mode' males were the ones voted in by women and the 'oppressor mode' males then commit that which is natural to them, that is starting illegal wars of aggression, then who is doing the string pulling? Otherwise, why are we pretending we have a system with voting that represents the will of the people?
Same with honor killings. What is the course of decision making behind honor killings? The men usually play by the script laid down by past examples of how the culture is run. WOMEN, not men, lay out and decide the tenor of the culture. In those cultures with honor killings, you can usually see the old grannies in the back are the ones drooling the most over the prospect of some young women being taken down a notch for her transgressions. Same with prostitution remaining illegal in this country, it is driven by jealous wives, not by the men who would surely benefit from legal and cheap sex with hot young bodies.
Then this fool rails on-- Forcing their laws on men's bodies? THIS IS THE BIGGEST LINE OF BS YET by this dumbkopf. Need I remind anyone, women and only women are free to decide that abortion happens or not DESPITE THERE BEING TWO PARTIES AND A KID AFFECTED BY THE DECISION. Where else does someone have unilateral right to decide the fate of someone else's time and money for 18 years, AGAINST THEIR WILL? Describe to me how women have their clioral hood removed en masse in the USA. You cannot, but since men do not matter, boys are routinely subjected to this violation of their bodies because after all, women do want a clean wanker to wang with and we all know men are too stupid to use soap and wash down there.
If men are overly represented in the history books, it is because women are either too stupid to make much of a dent or else they are smarter than the men and manipulate the men into doing their bidding (and then laying blame at men's feet for it too). I nominate both paths as valid. Today, with women exceeding men in colleges, men still produce 90% of significant achievements, even in the free arts where PURE MERIT of the work leads to success (the few phenomenal successes such as the FEMALE Harry Potter author merely prove that the market does not shun talent because of gender). The second path, that of manipulating men, is not taken seriously because women make sure to manipulate men to cede that their egos cannot accept that their strings are being pulled. Most AVERAGE men are not powerful at work, and you can ask most married men if they are in charge of their household, the answer again is NO. Oh sure, the men are made to FEEL as if they have some power over their women, if only to stoke the wives rape fantasies of being 'taken' once a year on Valentines Day or their wedding anniversary, but this is all a canard.
This country is a feminist paradise and the men suffer for it, but you would never know it from the endless shrill harping of the feminists. In the end women CHOOSE to 'act' oppressed because it is cute and gets them off (in more ways than one) the hook.
SO SUE ME FOR BEING AN AWAKE AND AWARE MAN.
Switch to the Republican Party before the primaries to vote for John Paul
you TRUST the voting machines? This country is long past the time when fairness and decency will win.
and example of the female overpowering the male in this society.
