I think the few sensible people on here know this but

for everyone, let me set this stuff straight.

I have never nor ever will said women should ever be denied any right a man has. Not ever.

Y'all are getting your knickers and panties in a knot over the fact that I have zero tolerance for the mentality that women deserve better treatment than men.

It's the utter height of arrogance to say that one gender is of better moral foundation or character than the other.

Yet, in these times it's extremely fashionable to bash men, but look out for the end times if anyone does the same bashing to women.

For instance. It's okay to write books like "Are Men Necessary?" but nobody in their right mind would ever write "Are Women Necessary?" I mean, really, can someone give me a straight answer on that?

And then let's try another example. "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them"? Oh ha ha ha, that's real funny. Can you imagine how many people would not be laughing if people walked around with shirts reading "Girls are stupid, throw rocks at them"? I mean, really, can someone give me a straight answer on that?

In movies you're always seeing some woman slap a guy for saying something she didn't like. That's ridiculously violent considering all he did was say a discouraging word. My point is, how would the audience feel if he slapped her right back? They'd be wanting to rip down the movie screen to get at him. Yup, I know, movies are just movies - but then it also happens in real life a lot, too. Women who physically abuse their husbands know damned well they will win in court. The guy might as well just STFU.

And why is it that being born male means you have the duty to be extra courteous to women, but there's no DUTY for women to treat men with the same level of courtesy? Notice, I said there's no DUTY. I didn't say women don't do it. There is a difference, not that it matters when you're on a misogyny witch hunt.

In dating, if you're a guy, you can be bounced out of the game for traits you can't even control: hair color, height, and so on. Women: it's fat, or ugliness. She has a 25% chance of losing weight and plastic surgery can deal with ugliness (but you get what you pay for); a guy has a zero percent chance of increasing his height. Zero. Zilch. Nada. And that's just the tip of the ice berg: how many ladies out there have been OBLIGATED by society to a) be confident when you approach your mate; b) make the first move; c) pay his way on a date; d) buy him an engagement ring?

And of course if there's another big assed war of pointless foreign conquest, ladies, they won't be coming to your door to pick you up or call you a coward if you don't want to fight. In fact, there is no societal rule by which a woman can be called a coward. You can drown your own kids in a bath tub and then play the sympathy card. Please, tell me that's not true, I gots your linkage. Now compare that to what would happen if a guy yelled at a kid in a grocery store.


All I want out of society is one law for everyone. So what oppression and hatred does that cause?

Sexism sucks.

Be it towards men or women.

I don't tolerate either.

I believe you when you say that. It's the "are men necessary" crowd that is utterly infuriating.

As a feminist, I completely agree.

I think it only drags both men /and/ women backwards when those kindof ideologies are propogated.

Hmmmm, amazing I find myself agreeing with loving, OK that's it where is loving and why is he locked in the closet?

Honestly though I think some of the anti men stuff is bandied about because men make more than women, same job, same qualifications a man will make more money. Not in a restaurant or bar mind you, but in the corporations. I suppose not in a hospital either but then again I've never met a nurse or doctor and asked them if the men make more money.

Some of it, well heck I man bash myself, I find it a good way to releive some annoyance with my guy and not get him mad at me. Other times I do it because it's the only good way to rib a person, since we are all human there is nothing beyond male or female that actually means anything.

Granted I am tired of the stereotypes crap bandied about most of the time, not all black men have huge cocks, ask Loving there. Not all black women are hmmmm actually I don't even recall the stereotype on black women. Not all asians have small dicks, well of course many are female but well I suppose that sorta makes it truer, since women have a really small dick.

You know, besides spanish women blonde and redheaded women there really isn't a stereotype for women, why is that? Dangit we want equal stereotyping.

Is the male equivalent of a feminist a masinist?

It's called a chauvenist.

Feminism is nothing more than female chauvenism.


Though some self proclaimed feminists - the ones who push for real equality - are actually humanists.

You know, LT and I got into a few years back and I tried to show he was a woman hater.

I couldnt find any instance where he said something horrible about women.
