    advocates a strip that rips on women all the time. As a break from the ubiquitous world of constant male bashing, I would like that strip. Many others would too.

  • More of the Same Pig Headedness from Women

    I firmly believe in a woman's right to have an abortion and I believe that right should trump the father's interest in the matter. A woman must be able to control her own body.

    another man hater

    until women's natural monopoly over childbirth is broken, men will alwaqys be inferior and unfulfilled.

  • Maybe I misunderstand Deering's point

    but most guys are not as stupid as they 'act' around a girl to get a girl into bed.

  • So again women are never responsible

    the first clues he gives you do not count, because he is so cute and charming.

    the fact that noone in his family knows him or cares for him is no clue

    the way he treats others is no clue.

    there are tons of cues women should take to avoid certain men.

    but he is just so darn CUTE.

    and god forbid the women should clue each other in on how to avoid certain men.

    instead women tell each other to avoid men who tell it like it is. because after all, it is better to be abused by a dishonest player than to be with a guy who sees the way things really are and loves the woman despite that.

  • Maybe I still do not get your point

    but many women prefer immature men because the women feel power over them or feel superior to them or want to mother them, maybe not consciously but unconsciuosly it probably plays a role.

    certainyl dumber immature guys are seemingly more 'fun', seemingly less bothered by life, seemingly are on top of their game.

    another flaw in how women think and 'choose' the men they shack up with.

    Or maybe not- after all, any dunce who can have fun while "Rome" burns, as it is these days with the Bush in the house, must have better genes to reproduce with.

  • The REAL Question

    [Read the article: Her sexy T-shirt says "Kitty Not Happy" -- is that OK at work?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    if I wore a shirt to work that said "I can make your kitty happy", or "Richard not happy", would I be treated differently by my boss? Punished?

  • Passive Agressive Maelstrom Called 'Hetero Relationship'

    [Read the article: Why women stay with abusers]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Is it not true most women these days do not respect and walk all over men who are not over the top assertive?

    Is it also not true that women pull out their 'victim' card the moment he decides to become over the top assertive?

    So why have any relationships or marriages with women?

    There is no sanity to it.

  • YOU ASK WHY IT IS ILLEGAL?!?

    [Read the article: Whole lotta love]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The poly men I met were the happiest I've ever seen, and why shouldn't they be, they were able to get a lot of sex with a lot of women without any of the work or commitment involved.

    Which is EXACTLY the reason it is illegal.

    Deep down women DESPISE truly happy men they cannot control singlehandedly.

  • I continue to be amazed at the amount of anti paglia drivel

    being spewed.

    What is she saying that is wrong?

    The Democrat prez candidates ARE lame. The Republicans are not much better but they continue to have the macho thing down which will probably drive them to victory in 08.

    Human generated global warming is PROBABLY largely a fiction in the sense that all the planets in the solar system are currently heating up like Earth is.

    Paris Hilton, oy, I have to grudgingly admit paglia is correct in asserting Hilton has caused a certain celeb chasing contingent a lot of pleasure.

    If paglia lags, it is in her tired 80s cliche comparisons of everything to Madonna and other moldy artifacts, but one generation's Madonna is another's Zsa Zsa or Marilyn.

  • I THINKA BETTER WAY TO UNDERSTAND THIS

    [Read the article: ABC's of gender]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    topic which so unsettles feminists is that gender roles can be considered a certain 'camp' or starting point in the kids' minds. THe kids know which camp they belong to and what the expectations and mores are. But they can certainly walk over to the other camp and introduce themselves, take on some of the mores of the other camp, or defect altogether.

  • MORE SMOKE AND MIRRORS

    [Read the article: Bush's blank check]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    trillions are being drained from the economy to line the pockets of international corporations and their paid off government enablers.

    these companies are playing flim flam games, pretending to do work to protect us.

    Meanwhile (5.5 years AFTER 9/11) the border remains wide open, 1% of cargo is inspected, our weak points are staffed by foreigners, whole elements of our economy are being outsourced or outright sold off to foerign powers with often competing agendas.

    Further while they take trillions from us, our beloved untrustworthy government virtually ignores the need for safe uncompromised food, thwarts our efforts to medicate ourselves (mj), feeds money to evil ostensibly christian entities so they can push themselves on everyone even more, and basically makes a mess of this once great nation, spoonfeeds us the puppet candidates we will vote for, and makes a mockery of justice by threatening us with imprisonment if we get on the wrong side of the Mandarins who are above the law in DC.

    How many more decades can this go on? Ask how many more MONTHS.

  • Another way to look at it

    [Read the article: Bush's blank check]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    up to 2000, the USA was the greatest nation this world had ever seen.

    As of 2001 the American experiment is over. As of 2001 it has been about who will profit from the selloff of the nation's assets. CLUE: it is not you nor me.

    This is how evil systemically triumphs and enriches itself in the world, by periodically collapsing the existing regime and reaping the collective efforts and sorrows of billion of people.

    unless Hillary or Obama are swaggering around the stage more, I would say yes, the Repuppetcans you name are more macho.

    Truly, Ron Paul is our country's only hope. but people do not vote for intelligence, but for swagger. Besides, Americans are getting the nation they crave, an irresponsible swaggering frat boy gangster network. Ron Paul is much too good for this country.
