  • Even Travolta Knows

    Men were flirting with me and I was being given power I never had before. I found it fascinating."

    John Travolta, the teen girl heartthrob of years ago, has new powers he never even had as a hot guy. THAT is what women take for granted and meanwhile keep shoving their 'victim' crap down men's throats anyway.

    And in other news that complements the above item...

    Sixty percent of working moms say they'd prefer working part-time, says survey. Understandble, given that they have a second job waiting for them at home!

    First, women work like two hours per week more than men at home, more than made up by men working nine hours more per week at work than do women.

    Second, women are chickening out just when men are beginning to have opportunities to be stay at home 'moms' too. YOU WOMEN SHOULD SHUT UP AND WORK, and bring home the bacon and give us men a break and a chance to raise kids!

    When do we men get breaks, options, opportunities?!? When do we men get any sexual powers to put you women out of commission AT WHIM?!?

    Shoe on the other foot not feel so good? Not so easy and rewarding being the 'breadwinner' huh? More fun and FULFILLING giving your children the gift of learning, curiosity, wonderment, than it is slinging paper for ungrateful fuckwad bosses who control your every moment JUST so you can then have the further opportunity to go home and hand over YOUR money to your beloved other who, according to the articles of the past few days, is your 'FEMALE' BOSS AT HOME, you know, the one with the sexual power Travolta refers to and which every guy is miraculously missing and which feminists IGNORE on purpose so they can keep shoving more demands at us poor men.

    We men have got it BAD, Much worse than any of us realizes it YET. Why don't you women take up freaking arms and go fight in foreign countries for the next few centuries???? Too WIMPY????

    Give it a decade...men are FINALLY WAKING THE FUCK UP

  • Please tell me...

    ...that the Money Magazine article is meant to be a parody. What's next -- an article on how to keep the spark alive by greeting billionaire hubby at the door dressed in Saran Wrap, with a martini in one hand and a lit cigar in the other? Unreal.

  • Ha Ha Women have a second full time job at home -- so funny, and as you know so untrue

    Studies show that women have more leisure time each week than men.

    We really don't need your bigotry Tracy Clark-Flory, just what of value did you add to this post? It seems your sole contribution was to knowingly promote an old interpretation of biased studies that will only lead to more anger between your

    You should sleep well tonight knowing what a wonderful warrior for truth you are.

    If you want pseudo-science how about an expose of Patriarchy Theory as pseudo-science cult.

  • Brightstar, you ignorant slut...

    "THAT is what women take for granted and meanwhile keep shoving their 'victim' crap down men's throats anyway."

    Yes, ladies, it is power to be groped all day! So proclaims brightstar and Travolta. Each unwanted advance from a bad combover? Just another jewel in your tiara! Your confusing 'victim' with 'Queen of the Universe."

    YOU WOMEN SHOULD SHUT UP AND WORK, and bring home the bacon and give us men a break and a chance to raise kids!

    Oh, so that's why, according to the same survey, "72 percent of fathers prefer working full-time."

    When do we men get breaks, options, opportunities?!?

    Well, if you're a white, Christian, heterosexual male, every goddamned day.

    feminists IGNORE on purpose so they can keep shoving more demands at us poor men

    Umm, brightstar? For over 40 years, women have been pressing for job equality, the ability to be on the front lines in war, and many other things you insist you want them to do. Yet somehow they still haven't achieved full equality, because of, oh, let's say, a bunch of dumb-fuck guys with too-small dicks who feel threatened by opposite-sex competition. You wanna bitch at anybody, bitch at them instead of feminists.

    Give it a decade...men are FINALLY WAKING THE FUCK UP

    That would be nice, but you don't give us much hope for that scenario.

  • Well Brightstar, I am so relieved, because Batboy tells me I am not a member of the privileged class

    Well Brightstar, I have enjoyed seeing your posts these past many months. I didn't always agree with you, but often, I did.

    But I have been laboring under the assumption that I was one of the privileged white males always under attack as a form of collective punishment from the feminists.

    Tonight though, Bat Boy informs us that because I am Jewish, I am not a member of the privileged class.

    Woohoo! Brightstar you are an ignorant privileged white Christian male, and you own me money! GIVE ME MONEY BRIGHTSTAR You Privileged Christian you!!!!

    Free at last, free at last, thank the Matriarchy Almighty I am free at last!

  • Fun to be groped?

    Maybe. But it might be another instance of a place that's fun to visit but not to stay.

  • help me out here

    I never know who to believe: brightstar, who claims to speak for all men when he says that guys just want to stay home and play mommy and get pregnant and whatnot, and Ben Dover, who claims to speak for all men when he says that guys detest children and only reproduce when forced or tricked by evil women. Hm.

  • Batboy et al

    This survey about working mothers, done by a legitimate organization, should serve notice to the Broadsheeot crowd, your view of the world is the DISTINCT minority. Now please leave the Democratic party.....I'm tired of y'all scaring away a governing majority.

  • Warning Warning

    A warning to those men out there married to one of the 60% of women who prefer to work part time. It's been 15 years since my kids were in school full time and my wife still wont go back to work full time. We need a new study on why married women who live in the suburbs think working is for the little people.

  • The power of appearing powerless

    We heard much about "unwanted advances" when sexual harassment (SH) laws were being concocted. The trouble was, the resulting laws made behavior secondary to personal interpretation. That is, if a woman LIKED the guy groping her, it wasn't considered harassment. That's like letting each driver determine the speed limit on highways. How can laws be consistent and/or consistently applied when the same behavior elicits different responses/punishments?

    SH laws also conveniently ignored things women do that harass males, things that are often done passively (women being socialized to be indirect). A woman can bend over in front of men, brush boobs against them, do sundry other things intentionally while feigning innocence. That gives women great power in a culture where men are supposed to be always sexually "on", ready to bed any woman any time, socialized to keep pain silent,

    SH seminars also did not tell women how to meet sexual needs directly. Instead it encouraged females to critique men who MUST act if anyone is to meet. Some feminists said women DO initiate encounters…by "looking" at men. But that’s like guys claiming they cook dinner by looking at a female, then the kitchen, then the dinner table (letting her do the actual labor).

    Feminists also say it's fair that the party who initiates a date pays for it (ignoring the fact that the initiator is almost always male). In fact, such an arrangement makes men do double duty while letting women coast. What do feminists say then to men who claim it's also fair that women who cook also clean up?

    As for the stat that "72% of fathers prefer working full-time"...maybe that's because there’s been little encouragement for men to enter non-traditional spheres. Girls once claimed not to like sports. Millions of dollars and hours were then spent changing attitudes, making school teams more “welcoming” to girls. What comparable efforts have been expended for men? When guys try to be with kids more, for example (especially post-divorce) feminists fight them.

    So much for “equality.”

    "If you're a white, Christian, heterosexual male [you get breaks, options, opportunities, every goddamned day].”

    Really? So why do women always get custody of kids, post-divorce? And how many WCHM fill national cemeteries, do blue-collar jobs that keep the country functioning, die younger, and commit more suicides?

    If you're a black atheist lesbian you can wear a strap-on during "Pride" parades and DEMAND respect. If you're a Christian kid at an Ivy League school you get mocked.

    The illusion that minorities, gays, and females are more open, tolerant, intelligent, ambitious, and "good" than straight males is just that: a myth.

    "For over 40 years, women have been pressing for job equality..."

    Actually, no. They want perks men don't get. They seek easier, cushier jobs at the same pay-rate earned by risk-taking males doing dirty, dangerous work. How many females, for example, are roustabouts on oil rigs or deck-hands on Alaskan crab boats?

    "...The ability to be on the front lines in war..."

    Again, again no. Females want the "glory" of combat without the hell grunts face. They prefer to pack parachutes behind lines, not jump out of planes to engage enemies up close and personal. War rages in Iraq. When's the last time NOW marched on Washington DEMANDING that 500,000 women be drafted to finish the job?

    "Somehow they still haven't achieved full equality, because..."

    …they do not want full equality! They want Orwellian equality: some rights being more equal than others. And, of course, they insist only men have responsibilities. When 8,000 Muslim men and boys were slaughtered in Bosnia not a peep was heard from so-called egalitarians. But when women wore traditional burqas femininnies howled.

    Most, if not all, feminists are arrogant, spoiled, sexist, and anti-male. They act like queen bees, thinking themselves owed male obeisance. Women's groups never lobby for more women repairing highways and railroads. When a dam is built, women wield traffic flags and cell-phones. When ice storms hit, women "man" phones and coffee pots while guys risk life and limb to reconnect downed power lines.

    You'd think white women in America, the most pampered beings in history, would be grateful. Though many live more regally than historic queens, they bitch, bitch, bitch at men who make their comforts possible.

    Sooner of later real equality will occur. Men will get effective birth control and laws enforcing their right not become fathers for pregnant women. Females will have to get male consent to continue pregnancies.

    Women will have to register with Selective Service and be forced to protect the country. To mirror the affirmative action they got entering the business world, women will disproportionately fill front-line military slots until females fill half our national cemeteries.

    It will be very interesting to watch fierce, feisty, and vocal women's groups then. Thus far feminists have only faced phantoms. The so-called "backlash" was a preemptively rhetorical ruse to thwart real male resistance. It worked, at least for a while. Now, more and more men are speaking up, fighting back.. The end of vagina monologues nears. I doubt feminizm will survive the coming dialogue.
