I could take apart your screed bit by bit and I would take pleasure in it.

But really what it comes down to is this, no matter how many times I tell some people that I am ll for equal rights, somebody like you comes along with the same tired tropes and attempts to again plaster them onto me.

My objetion has never been with equality, but with the hypocrisy of modern feminism that pretends to want equality. Meanwhile, average women not only have more rights and privileges than the average masn today, but they continue to push onto very tired men more man hating selfish tirades.

You give me equasl reproductive rights, and we can then resume talking about what rights women can have. You hold someething back, do not expect to not be taken to task for it.

I finally figured out today my attitude towards women and equality (and was so excited about being able to share it with my beloved fan club on here...*gag*).

It goes like this. In this imperfect world, either one side or the other is always the 'slave' in the relationship. This may go back and forth and vary in intensity, but power struggles are, unfortunately, the norm in most relationships. Here is the kicker-- I would be GLAD to be the slave to the woman and let the woman be the lead, ON THE CONDITION that she likewise feels the same way towards me about she herself deferring to the man and being the 'slave' to him. Of course where this breaks down today is that many feminists and women are more than glad to say to the man, "OK, you can be the slave and I will be the master (and furthermore, I will abuse you too)", rather then being equally deferring to the other gender.

Despite what feminists rant about, most men are not borderline bullying monsters, but quite deferring to the women around them. Of course women are drawn to bullies and assholes, so for many men it is a constant struggle to be enough of an asshole to 'keep' the woman happy and staying around. Women do not feel the need to be tender in general to men.

so we have the current problems between men and women, and the solution is, unfortunately, in the women's hands (and women are more than glad to be unapologetic asses to us men).

I believe in strong women. Asshole women are NOT strong.

Look, I have better credentials than Carol Lloyd -- I have a bachelor's degree in psychobiology (essentially the same thing as evolutionary psychology, it just wasn't called that then), and nearly got a master's. And this article is crap. Not because it says things that feminists don't like. Personally I very much like the theory that Muslims blow themselves up because they aren't getting laid;

So if you like the theory, then it is more likely to be true???

from a feminist standpoint it says that a society with full or nearly full female equality which allows women sexual agency and which permits them to participate equally in society is a much more peaceful and rational society than one that practices strict sex segregation.

Feminist are of course wrong about this, as you assert in your next sentence. American society is far more violent, less peaceful, and less rational towards the world than any Arab nation currently.

It's a great theory. It's just probably wrong. Why is it probably wrong? Because SOME WOMEN ARE SUICIDE BOMBERS.

Another false conclusion. There can be women suicide bombers for other reasons, and this would still not necessarily invalidate the (agreed upon) wrongness of the prior statement.

If the motivation to be a suicide bomber is precisely *because* there's a sexual element involved, and yet Islam offers no sexual goodies to women who die, then women would never be suicide bombers.

This is ridiculous, ignorant and demonstrably false. There is no sexual element to suicide bombers because the so called 72 virgins thing is an imaginary myth made up by someone in the west. Suicide bombing is the last refuge of a powerless culture being violated from the outside by western money interests, the USA being the handmaiden of those interests.

Why should women never be suicide bombers if there is no sexual interest? It males no sense and trivializes the severity of the whole affair- men and women suicide bombers.

You have a degree in psychology? From where? Hamburger University?

I look like a feminist.

That is because I am a feminist-- a classic feminist.

I just have problems with the current regime of negative man despising feminism.

But you feminists will keep plying that fraudulent trope anyway.

Where in American society are women's failures being enumerated? I have never seen this magical land. Please tell me where this place is so I can find out what women blame themselves for.

Far as I can tell, most women clearly and consistently enumerate MEN'S FAILURES-- ALL THE TIME. They are expert at it, imputing failures to us that rightly belong on women's laps.

Really, I want to know where it is women browbeat themselves and each other. I like to have a good laugh.
