  • Really, women should never be forced into doing anything

    [Read the article: Should I stay in my marriage?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    only men are required to be forced to do things, duties obligations, (that is why they are not women, but mere men, to pick up the pieces after the women are done playing) women should only always follow their bliss and do everything totally voluntarily and willfully.

    Frankly, I do not know why women do not revert to the Earth mama 'whore' persona and just breed incessantly with scads of random men who waltz in and out of the women's lives while the kids are all of different fathers, scurrying around shoeless in the dirt in the yard. Oh, wait, this is what American society is becoming...

    But seriously, if you can murder children before they are born, what is stopping you AFTER they are born. It would easily solve the small issue of the woman having to have responsibilities in her life rather than just following her muse. After all, it is a woman's body the kids came out of and the kids still reside in her house (an extension of her body) and God reserves the right to punish his creation AFTER it has been created. Using this QUITE VALID AND LOGICAL premise, you can see women should have the legal right to murder their kids up until the kids are out of the house and can get away from her.

    I think this would also dispel the notion that women are weaker or wimpy.

  • I missed this angle

    [Read the article: Bros before ...]

    since women are always telling each other they should back other women up, why is it any worse that men tell other men to back men up first?

    If more men did this, it might force change in that women might begin to understand that they should be supporting the best person regardless of gender, rather than someone merely because she is female.

  • no

    To brightstar65:

    By your reasoning, a woman who is raped should have to report a resulting pregnancy to her rapist and the rapist would have a right to have a say in the in her decisions to abort, carry to term, or surrender the child for adoption.

    Do you agree?

    Of course not, because the rapist raped her without her permission.

    There are shades of gray in this in that two drunk coeds and a regretful female the next day can lead to misinterpretation of whether something is a rape case, but in msot cases it is pretty cut and dried as to whether it truly is a rape or not.

  • Virtual Rape

    [Read the article: Is virtual rape a crime?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    means there is also virtual child support payments.

  • I hold both sexes to the same standard

    [Read the article: Should I stay in my marriage?]

    so even if a guy wrote the letter, my comments still stand.

    1. Lots of impractical things are enforced and done each day.

    2. The right of a woman to choose is not and should not be absolute regardless of what the femifascists want.

    3. I am discriminated against as a male for employment because I am not a 22 year old college kid willing to work for $24k a year. Discrimination happens.

    4. Pregnancies cause effects, abortions cause effects. To imagine otherwise is to live with your head up your butt. Society should not be in the business of absolving grown women of responsibility for their actions (unless it is willing to apply the same standard to men).

    5. It is easy to determine paternity, but today it is set up so women can hem and haw and prevent such things from being done IF THEY CHOOSE. Furthermore, it is very common for men to be accused of being the father when they had nothing to do with making the child (they are NOT the bio father).

    6. I do agree with every single reason you post as to why you would have an abortion. Believe it or not, I do agree women are put into difficult circumstances sometimes, but the way the pendulum has swung in society vis a vis reproductive rights, women are held to nothing and have al the rights and men are blamed for everything and have none of the rights. If this is fair to you, holler YEAH!

    7. Men should have free (or cheap) easy access to wombs, LIKE WOMEN DO. There ought to be a pool of volunteer females set up to offer kids to men who want kids. If society AND FEMINISM was fair to men, this would be something women would volunteer. To make it so it is not about the sex, the women could get impregnated artificially. To make it so more women volunteer for service, there can be some recompense PAID BY SOCIETY for their services (not by the men, since some men have little money). Men can line up and wait their turn making kids without having to woo or trick women into it, like is done today. This is the least that should be done to make the playing field EVEN for men and women.

    Will this ever happen? Of course not, women universally pretty much DESPISE MEN. Women feel no obligation to be FAIR OR DECENT to men. Men OWE WOMEN is all that women EVER think. I always assert, men are worth less than women, ESPECIALLY in women's eyes. But they will never admit it because they do not have to, women have already tied up society so it is patently unfair to men. In this way, I can see how men justify historically limiting women and being unfair to them IN RETURN.

    Women rule by WOMB MONOPOLY (what I dub the ETERNAL VAGINOCRACY). If the world is unfair to women, it is because women CHOOSE to be unfair to men in the first place where it COUNTS, in self reproduction, parenting, and development of the next generation.

    Women and feminists are so last century. Men are waking up and realizing the guilt trip laid on them has been by what amounts to IRRESPONSIBLE UNACCOUNTABLE PUNKS who have more power than they themselves do where it counts in life.

    Sorry if truth bothers you. Take some drug or something and it will go away.
