My wife has a new found fascination with the castrotto (17th century boys who were castrated to keep there voices prepubescent for singing purposes) She has been reading a book (Anne Rice), talking about, studing and possibling writing a book in which revolves around them and their struggles. Should I be worried?

I said :
"So there may be a chance for you after all, huh, Greymalkin ?"

She obviously reported my answer and it was deleted. She believes in double standards or is simply a feminazi man hater !

As a guy am I expected not to take offense at comments such as hers ? Or do we just accept her as simply a bitter man hater ?

What do you think ?

Check out some of these quotes by this woman, and check out her pictures:

They say every picture tells a story. I wonder if her looks explain why she went off her rocker and became a raving loon.

I don't get it. Alot of women would rather have a man who they are afraid of or either a man who beats on them.

Someone who is on the run from the cops alot.

WHY?

I have been taking self-defense classes for a while, and of course, groin kicks are taught a lot. I've heard stories of how they haven't worked, and some how they have.

Some of my guy friends say that they are effective, and others say that they won't work if a guy's attacking me and is adrenalized.

I've asked this on yahoo answers once before, but, does anyone know for sure if they'd be effective? Have you used them (or had them used on you, if you're a guy)? Will they incapacitate a guy right away? Or is there a delay, like some people say?

I've also heard that the eyes and throat are more effective targets, but that would require the arms, and I'd think it'd be better to keep someone at leg's length, if you've managed to create distance. (If not, your arms might be bound.)

This Indian lady really got on my nerves. And she kept calling my coke a sprite. Anyone else annoyed by this?

Why are teenage girls and other people so fascinated by her? Why do they want to follow her and be like her?

What does she offer that is so captivating?

Do you think its her mother's fault that she has eventually grown up to be like this? Kathy Hilton said the verdict was unjust and unfair...is she the enabler or the initiator of her wildness?

Parents, what do you think about Paris and Kathy Hilton???

I've seen a few questions claiming that men have more power than women. This is sometimes claimed to be a result of discrimination, sometimes a result of society, sometimes a result of history...

Whatever the cause, my question is simple: What can people (particularly the average individual) do to make it so that women and ethnic minorities have an equal opportunity to hold a position of power in society?

I am really interested in female responses here. I have had some female family members say they will vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. Would you?

If you do plan to vote for her, why?

80% of men today, across the board, are whining, crying, effeminate, self-centered, groveling, cowardly, superficial, incorrigible scum! Their effeminate tentencies, mixed with their authoritarianism, is truly a deplorable thing to witness! I see this in various communities, manifested in different ways. I'm not that way at all, but I recognize it, and how much worse it has gotten in even just the last ten years!

To woman today: I'm sorry. I wish there was something that I could do.

I realize that this is more of an individual trait based upon personality and life experiences, but I am wondering if any study has been done to show that one gender is more opinionated than the other.

What are your thoughts?

Ok i just asked a question about 10 minutes ago, the title was```DO WOMEN WATCH PORN``` you can read yourself, and 100% of the women said they do. I asked that question to test the theory of hypocricy. My question is why is it degrading to women ? and what makes you think that it is not degrading to men ? to potray them as sex obsessed being ? Why the double standard when it comes to men who watched porn ? I mean when a men watches it, its said that he is a pervert or a person who thinks of women as sex object. And when a women watches it its because she has sexual interest too or its her right,, and i dont get another thing, by calling porn a degrade to women you are actually degrading your own gender, think about it, this women are actually doing what they have to, to survive, even prostitute do that to survive, i respect them because they do it to support themselves or their kids, now whats wrong with that ? Men or i atleast dont think that as degrading

Ok, to begin I have no problem accepting a women as my intillectual and phsycological peers, equals or betters.

The real problem I have is I believe men are physically stronger pound for pound. I am the type of person that CANNOT tolerate domestic violence, the idea of a man using his physical strengh to intimidate or hurt a women actually makes my blood boil, and I feel it is an extreme sign of weakness and failure. Yet at the same time when a man hits another man it doesn't bother me.

Are my feelings towards this subject totally screwed up in todays society, afterall arent we all equal? or are there some elements of healthy sexism?

Do you ever award "Best Answer" to someone with whom you don't completely agree or even totally disagree? Or, only those who tell you what you want to hear?

I am finding that some are blocking all answerers with whom they disagree. That is pretty closed-minded IMO.

I noted that a number of my BA's have been awarded to people whom I often (but not always) disagree with. But, we found at least *some* common ground.

(One I wish I could take back since I have since learned that she is a bona fide man-hater, but at the time I enjoyed the heated exchange. So, I awarded BA on that basis.)

What is your pattern? Do you at least sometimes award BA to someone because they have a good argument even if you didn't agree, or do you only award BA when they say exactly what you would've said if you answered your own question?
