  your garbage does not bother me because I know most of it is untrue.

  I was a good naive guy for decades, I had more female acquaintances than I did guys friends. I also had my share of women, very good women. So despite your screed to me, the reality is quite different.

  I won;t get into the issues regarding feminism, men, women, communication and society.

  But I will tell you one thing, guys like you are a dime a dozen. You twist your life to fit what needs to be done to get women to sleep with you. I live in Austin, I see it all the time.

  OF course the next thing you do is abandon the girl without even saying goodbye and move onto the next one.

  I really cannot blame you for this, because women are drawn to charismatic guys, even ones who are bad for them, in preference to decent honest guys who are not as charismatic.

  Maybe you are a good person, maybe (you yourself admit) yoou are a cad and an asshole, I do not know.

  But I know guys who play women destroy it for the rest of us, the good guys who were raised to believe if we were good and honest, and worked hard, we would have a decent woman to have kids with.

  So Norah Vincent describes it accuratley when she says the women she dated as a 'guy' despised her without even knowing her. I do not need to be blamed for the behavior of charming cads who break these women's hearts.

  I also happen to believe women should be equally responsible in life as are guys, which means I trust women to make good decisions about who they date. THIS MAKES ME MORE OF A FEMINIST THEN YOU, because you believe women are your subordinate, unable to make a decision for herself.

  That, or you are pulling my leg.

  Sorry if my treating women are equals bothers you. But as I say, guys like you are a dime a dozen, which is why so many women are stuck with a baby and no child support payments from the daddy.

  I resolutely believe that I and all men in our society should shovel it back the way we receive it.

  We men get a lot of abuse from women in this society.

  I come on these boards with the same attitude BACK at women in order to elucidate the issues of how men feel they are treated by society.

  If you do not think men are mistreated in American society, then you either have low esteem or else, again, you are doing what it takes to get laid, which is to make like it is not there.

  SORRY If I am a sensitive human being, I will stop being sensitive now. (right)
