‘Man bashing’ is so prevalent everywhere. More and more TV programmes and commercials portray men as imbeciles.

hmmm i think there was a reversal i remember lucy was secretly sexist

lucy was portrayed as an idiot (atleast to me)

hmm men are portayed as imbeciles and women as sex objects


fair?


comments welcomed

Ive always said that the reason im not where id like to be in life,
Is because i am not naive enough to think im smart enough.
But the more i learn the less i feel i know...
Does this make sense?

I have this dream over and over again: I am staying in a hotel on business travel. On the morning I have to check out, I realize that all the stuff I own is at the hotel and I have to pack it all like I am moving. So I begin to put stuff into boxes as fast as I can and then all of a sudden I am inside of a big oak barrel rolling down a hill. The barrel says "Acme" on the side like it is from the Roadrunner cartoon. When I get to the bottom of the hill, the barrel splits open and then I am talking to a cat named Dude and a dude named Cat. I always wake up without remembering a word that they said.

Does anyone else have this same dream?

Y' know places for battered or homeless men to go. It's almost impossible for men in these situations to find refuge even if they have children with them.

I honestly do not know what my problem is, but little things tend to make me blow up. Like for example, my boyfriend is always going to sleep late and waking up late, which isn't that big of a deal, but i really tend to explode and i stay frustrated and say things i don't mean. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to contain yourself? I'd really appreciate it.

What is so bad about women walking around topless that it is illegal?

Everyone knows what breasts look like anyways. And kids don't think dirty until adults put ideas in their heads.

I looked it up online and everywhere it says $44,000 but i have my doubts. Most people I know don't even make $25,000 so how is $44,000 our per capita income?!

Are anti-feminists, masculinists, or misogynists more hostile to male feminists than female feminists? If so, why?

As an young adult starting out in the world.

Do you have conflicting messages from your mother like:

If you dont call her for a week, shee will state to you that you hadnt called for a week.

You then call her every second day and she says you call too much.

You call less and she says you dont call enough.

You call more and she still says you dont call enough.

You get to calling everyday and she says you call too much.

Are you unfortunate enough to have a mother like this.

Should I immigrate there? I'm Canadian but I don't think I could make as much money in Canada as I can in the USA. It's likely because Canada is socialist and the USA is capitalist. Canada has high taxes, higher cost of living and lower salaries compared to the U.S.

Should I immigrate? If I do I figured I would have more money, more wealth. I could buy all the stuff that I've always wanted.

When it comes to business, higher taxes impede business growth. Don't you agree?

Shouldn't we have less taxes and less government? With less taxes people will have more money to spend. Therefore there would be a stronger economy with a higher GDP.

But how hard is it for a Canadian to immigrate to the US? And do you agree that what I say is right?

OK I married, I've got more diplomas than you can shake a stick at (including a phd), kids (infant size), own a house, and I've got a reasonable job. I think I've got what a lot of people call a quarter life crisis right now. What are some smaller things I could do to make life a bit more interesting/meaningful/fascinating? I say smallera because I obviously have a lot of commitments. Original ideas appreciated!

Looking at this of natural abilities not man-hating or men being abusive or wanting to be domineering.

Men usually have an automatic responce from children when it comes to disipline. Children will more often listen to men about their behaviour and attitude. Usually through consistancy of the men.

Women have a difficult time to emulate men in this area of parenting.

Do you think that this differnece in men and women is a problem in the adult world causing arguments and angst.

Is this under diagnosed or not given the attention it needs in the differnences of the genders.

I have a school assignment to identify a stereotype prevalent today, and to find examples supporting or challenging this stereotype in the media. I have chosen nerds as my stereotype. Can anyone help me out with examples in media? Thanks ^^

I'm friends with an older woman who serves as a mentor for me, and she's been acting very strange lately. I think she may be depressed. She's all but disappeared from my life, and she barely takes care of herself--when I do see her, she always looks poorly groomed, sometimes not even washing her hair. She constantly complains of having no appetite and various health problems, as well as her failing marriage and how unhappy she is living in her house. I don't know what to do. How should I handle this situation? What's wrong with her?

Since someone asked if anti-feminists hated their mothers (since they assume that anti-feminists hate all females), I thought it would only be fair to ask if feminists hate their fathers, since a lot of feminists appear to be misandrists.

when i was younger, i was a chubby ugly quiet kid...i was made fun of, bullied, and no matter what i did to get a girl to like me, it was all in vain.

i was this way till sometime in highschool when i started lifting wieghts and working out hard core. the summer going into college i lost all the fat and suddenly it was like i was a totally different person.

suddenly i was totally noticed for all the right reasons, like some miraculous 'swan' show. i got the girls, i drew in the crowds. i was like mr.cool. now i am 32, and still do everything possible to keep a perfect physic and still be desirable to the ladies...but i have just started to really notice that i am like crazy. if i gain just a pound or so of fat, i work out like nuts. if my fiance doesnt desire me, i immediatly start to look in other directions for attention. so am i crazy, do i have some sort of issue from my past of being undesirable that is causiing me this mental anguish? is professional help in my future?

Is it true? Then, why do they??? Seriously, even older guys in their 30s and 40s -- I don't know if this guy is interested in me, but he acts mean to me sometimes. Other times, he's gracious and sweet.

I just don't understand guys and why they act mean to women they're interested in. Guys...Please explain! Thanks
