    Women are dangerous . . . and they get a free pass

    I know several guys who got assaulted by their GF or wives. And you know what happened when they got a restraining order? She got one, too, then claimed abuse, and got to take their house.

    That is what happened b/c the court ALWAYS BELIEVES THE WOMAN.

    hell, Mary Winkler murdered her man, suggested maybe he abused her, and walked with the insurance money.

    This is why we object so strenuously to feminism. B/c feminists today are running up the score, turning the once-patriarchal powers against men, and becoming the evil they once opposed.

    This is what that nobel prize winner was talking about. It's nasty business.

    Incidentally, I'd bet that all the estrogen-mimicking chemicals in the environment have something to do with it. They are making men less manly and women more agressive.

    In any case, if any woman hit me, I'd hit her back twice as hard, b/c that is self-defense. And I am not going to wait for someone to break my bones to fight back. But I know that only I would go to jail for it. And that is why feminism is rotten (and Hillary is a menace).
