"There were at least two technological revolutions (agricultural and industrial) that really took away the need for the man's role (hunting in the former, plowing in the latter). Women, on the other hand, are as important as they've ever been. They give birth to and mostly raise the children.

We men are freaking out (and don't even realize it) because our role has been devalued and we feel less biologically useful. And really, we are less biologically useful. This imbalance has created a lot of the sexism we see today."

If this is true, then would it follow that in order to eliminate sexism, we must make men feel MORE valued for their contributions? If they felt more useful they would have no need to demean or discriminate against women.
It seems contrarian - but could it work?

11/25/07: I drove a long train full of cargo. I made a Mario-like move and made the train leap from a cliff to railroad tracks on a bridge. There was a large gap between the first car and the second. Right next to the bridge were two houses: one for my mom and dad, the other for my aunt and uncle. They were each on a knobby hill just big enough for the house. Dad was saying something about filling the part between the house and the ground with white flint to keep the house stable.

Given that feminism is apparently about the social and economic "equality" of a supposedly disenfranchised group, which is the central theme of Marxism, is it correct to say that feminism is just an extension of Marxism? If not, how does it differ?

I lost my baby girl at five and a half months pregnant due to ruptured membranes. It is the most devestateing pain i have ever been through. I miss her so much I lost her in Sep, 30, 2007. about two weeks after I lost her I was praying to God that I want to see her in my dreams and not that night but the next night I had a dream of her. We were in a school yard and I had her in my hands her age was probly around six months she was beatiful and she was pointing at a wall with a poster on it with shapes. Every shape that she pointed at I was responding to her what shape it was it was very brief but I was so thankful that I had that dream I woke up with peace in my heart it still hurts but I wanna know what she is trying to tell me? Last night I had a dream of my deceased grandmother praying a rosary for me Im christian and she was catholic it was just kind of weird because we were at a gravesite tombstone.

A poster a few minutes ago mentioned that the feminist movement has gotten laws passed that have made women superior and have taken away the rights of men.

I admit to being clueless about this since I'm not aware of which laws he was talking about. Can someone cite these specific laws and how they've negatively affected men?

Also, if they're talking about divorce and custody laws, how do they differ today compared to the days prior to feminism?

I get jittery and get uncomfortably queasy whenever I'm left alone with someone else - regardless of their relationship with me.

I've always been uncomfortable sitting alone in a car in the passenger seat - it's only recently that i got over the anxiety of sitting next to my parents. I used to always sat in the backseat even when no one's in the passenger seat whenever my parents are driving. The same goes for almost everyone.

Another example is that whenever I visit a relative, and everyone's suddenly going out and I would be left alone with an aunt or uncle, I would always find excuses to go out as well - I can't bear the thought of being left alone (especially in a confined place) with someone else (regardless of gender, or how they're related to me).

I remember when I was in Primary School, there's this one time when the bus driver told me that he's going to send me home last, I freaked out and would rather go off a long way off from home than to be the last sent home.

Or maybe not block it, but just lessen its impact.

A couple of days ago while driving on a freeway in Atlanta, I saw a body of a man who was hit by a truck. I was wondering why traffic was moving slow slowly, then I noticed that there was a lot of rubber-necking. I realize that people often will slow down just to see what happened in the accident, but when I drove past to look too, there was the man dead as a doornail in a very unnatural position. The ambulance had just gotten there, so his body hadn't been covered up.

Anyway, so I can't get this very sad and disturbing image out of my head. I know it's only been a couple of days, but is there something I can do to forget it or minimize it?

I realize that there are people around the world who see horrible things everyday, but I guess being a sheltered westerner, I haven't been exposed. The only dead people I had ever seen were at funerals.

I had a hard childhood and unforutnate events happen even in my early 20s. I got kicked out of my household, had to support myself and go to school and do bills, on top of which I also went bankrupt, suffered with anorexia (as a male) go figure, It was a weird control issue, I just had alot to deal with and ultimately at the end, finished college, found a partner, and now am happy and successful, however, I developed anxiety/panic attacks, asthma, and went to the ER/doctor about 20 times in the last two years. I feel like my health mental and physical is shot and I feel like I'm really 80 and not 26.

I feel like my life's misfortuntes have impacted me in a big way, and I'm scared. I don't want to die or be screwed up for the rest of my life, but I dont' know how else to explain my deteriorating health or mental issues, since the doctors can't really seem to "find" anything.

Is it possible to get over all this fully?

i feel that i am honest in my answers, but i sense that many others are not. going beyond the attention seeking radicals it seems to me that many tend to sugar coat their responses. i find this behavior bizarre because the community is so vast, why not just say what you think?

is it a matter of people lying to themselves or political correctness gone overboard? or perhaps i'm just too cynical...

i realize one could argue i'm asking in the wrong category but this behavior seem more evident here. why is that?

When I was younger, I was so strong. I had a rough childhood (not the roughest ever but worse than most) and I made it through without waivering. Now, at 23, I am weak. Life is easier now, but the problems I have are breaking me down. I am so depressed. I feel so alone and self-conscience. Is it possible I ran out of my strength? Or maybe I just underestimated how much the things in my childhood affected me then and so it seems much worse now? Does anyone else feel like this?
