You mean you were sad I may never lay the table again? I've never liked cooking anyway.

Miaow aboxofchocolates, I'm sorry you didn't receive whiskas for breakfast this morning.

A hot woman who knows how to play her cards, has the world by the balls. Think about how many attractive women have a bunch of orbiters who would do anything for them. They may not get their power from having strength or a military mind, but they have power nonetheless. Their femininity brings them their own type of power while the traditionally powerful man achieves that by maximizing his masculinity. Gender is not a social construct. What, am I imagining the hole that my dick goes in? Am I imagining that I have a dick and balls instead of a vagina? Are my pecs really a pair of knockers? I must be one ugly-ass girl then.

Fat and ugly women have it worse than men and feminism tries to even the playing field a bit in that area. Fat and ugly men can still be attractive to women if they have other attractive qualities. In men, looks are only one possible quality which can be used to display value to women.

In general however, the average man has it worse than the average woman.

Feminism is a system which controls access to desireable women. It lowers the average mans value in the dating pool, but it increases the value of a man who is in the know or who has status. It seperates the men from the boys and the wheat from the chaff. An average man will play by the rules and allow his thinking to get warped. He will put women on pedestals. He'll be scared to make a move. He'll be whipped by any of his girlfriends, he'll get married to some shrew who calls the shots and he'll probably get divorced and robbed for half his stuff.

The good news is, get your shit together and ignore these rules. Act like it's 1955 and things will be easier than ever. The powers that be may have realized that feminism could be used as a control mechanism but since feminism is such a stupid ideology, it's very easy to cheat the system. The main thing that you need to do is grow some balls and stand up for yourself. Feminism is like a giant test to weed out the weak.

You can see it everywhere. Look at the commercials. Some weak ass man will be bumbling and stumbling around and his smart, empowered wife ends up with the solution. Look at the TV- masculinity is parodied and portrayed as being stupid. Tim Allen is on TV, grunting and trying to add more power to everything, then he f___cks everything up. Meanwhile, his wife says jump and he asks how high. In school, a kid will get kicked out for defending himself against a bully. The only way he doesn't get in trouble is if he sits and lets himself get beat. A lot of guys (those who fail the test) take this to heart and grow up to think that their masculinity is something to hide, and they eventually lose it. The only way to pass this test, is to break the rules.

A lot of things were worse for men before feminism. Men were sometimes forced into the army, men were expected to give up their seats for women, in lots of jobs men had to wear a suit and tie (we still have to do that sometimes but casual wear is more accepted than before).

Feminism has changed things and there's a balancing act now. In some ways women have things better, like having more independence but men are still expected to be chivalrous sometimes and pay for dates and put women on a pedestal. But then women are expected to do the greater part of raising the children and housework. It's hard to balance what society expects of us to make things equal.

I appreciate feminists sometimes because I think they are likely to be more sympathetic in situations where men are expected to be men and follow the old gender lines and they don't expect the special privelages that women get sometimes. But I wish they would also recognize more often that men don't always have it so great either and stand up for us more.

I also think people should give feminists a break sometimes and not criticize all of them for a few extreme things a minority of feminists have said.

Hmm. I think some men may be confusing being placed on a pedestal with climbing into a throne. One is the illusion of power, the other real.

Many women would have preferred being drafted, as one example cited above. These women today manifest as enlistees.

After all, it is far better to be respected as competent than doted for. To be treated as "too good" for something "too barbaric" is merely a nice way of telling someone that you don't trust them to fulfill a faculty you believe to be better suited for a superior specimen.

Having to use sex (or the implied possibility thereof) in order to function on par with everyone else is a blatant example of prejudice against women. Far better to be a human pauper than a porcelain doll adored within her glass prison. At least the pauper controls his own destiny.

But that is my opinion as a hairless whatever-it-was.

Also, Street Magic, women watch a great deal more TV than men - a sad reflection on the female preoccupation with triviality.

I think all of the men and women in this thread need a stiff drink and a roll in the hay. Seriously? Some of the opinions coming from both fronts makes me wonder what you did in college? The space between your legs doesn't define who you are. There are a lot of butt hurt boys on here crying about what women have done to them in relationships. How "girly." Just kidding. But to honestly say that men have it harder than women is ridiculous and you know it is. Intelligence, self esteem, and ones ability to manipulate people is the real issue here, whether you have a *beep* or a vagina is irrelevant.
