By this I mean, the fact that women are now able to work has adjusted the US economy greatly so that now most people feel they must live off of two incomes.

"She must be just PMSing!..." why is it considered a sexist or offensive stament? Everybody knows about PMS symptoms and at least the man who says that attributes a woman's b.tchiness to that condition rather than her personality flaws... So why is it so unacceptable?

What's the secret to your marriage's success?

2007-09-21 05:09:31 · 12 answers · asked by It's Ms. Fusion if you're Nasty! 7

In the history of evolution and human behaviour, when weakness occurs this results in the occurance of a deviance from the norm, therefore creating a niche wherein the person can thrive.

Thus, a lack of success with males would theoretically result in similar females grouping together as a defence mechanism.

My girlfriend insisted that she is the one who knows more about household issues and she should hire an exterminator for termites... So she did... Some fat guy showed up with no uniform, no tools, but just with a rolled-up magazine. I was furious because my credit card was already charged. So I called him a crook and told him to get the hell out. Then I called a better company to do the job... My girlfriend is still mad because "I emphasized her inability to do things and exerted my macho power." What did I do wrong?

My wife is one of those who think just because I'm a man I should be able to build things, have intutitve knowledge of electricity and plumbing, be a carpenter, auto mechanic all roled into one.
I'm also sick of all these "home handymen" show that feature one guy that you never see swing a hammer or use a saw, but knows everything. Then your wife expects you to do the same.

A random question that's been bothering me for a while.

We have feminists, who impress upon people the equality, versatility, individuality and strength of women. If people dare to suggest that women are confined to stereotypical roles and weaknesses, they are attacked for anti-feminism. Similarly if anyone implies that strength and decisiveness are reserved for lesbian women.

Yet all the time, men are stereotyped as being less intelligent, more primitive, sex-obsessed, incompetent at simple tasks, egotistical, uncaring and lazy. Qualities like talent, emotional empathy and sophistication are often seen as being limited to homosexual men. Why are there no accusations of "anti-masculine" prejudice when this sort of thing appears in the media? People either ignore or applaud. Why is there this apparent global assumption that men are inferior?

(in case you're wondering, I'm female.)

Ladies, I heard a story on the news that 80% of females have lied to their partner about the size of their penis. Do you believe this is correct?

I always beleive a person should not do what they do not want to do .

However i have seen post where a girlfirend wanted @nal sex and the boyfriend refused and vice versa . I have seen post on other sexual interest not being mutual such as oral sex , foot fetish , rough sex .Again both genders being at different ends of the polar spectrum . Interestingly i see some men refusing things like having @nal sex with a women , or refusing a woman oral sex or a guy not wanting to be bitten during sex .



It will vary of course but do you think men and women will compromises on issues of sexual interest and compatabilty .

If so how much compromise is reasonable ?

Is one gender more prone to compromise on issues of sexual interest than the other ?

I don't like butch women but a yahoo member gave me an website which she hoped make me understand them more www.butch-femme.com
Anyway I went on the site and it's made me even more scared and disgusted by Butch women. These women act like men and don't even like to be called her, they use hym. I don't understand why these femme women don't just get a better looking MAN than a woman trying to be a man. I'm more scared of Butch women now as they freak me out even more. Is this normal? do I need help for being against a group

Is there a way for a girl to be strong and a good fighter without sacrificing her femininity? My friend would like to know how to do this. Somebody at church insulted her- (a guy named Nick) and she kept asking him "Why did you say that?" He got mad because she kept bugging him & he said "Stop asking me or I'll get Jessica to beat you up. You haven't seen her fight- she's a beast at fighting!" Jessica is his friend. She has a small bone frame but she has big breasts (36C) My friend hates her. Jessica is a sl*t too and she was kicked out of high school for making out with lots of boys. So this girl Jessica is a good fighter although she doesn't look masculine. So how can my friend be a good fighter too (and be able to defeat Jessica) without looking masculine?

I am no muscle man. If you lined up 100 women, there are probably 8 or so who are stronger than me. So there are some women who could "overpower" me. That being said, I really can't ever imagine being scared of a woman, even if she was stronger and tried to rape me. I just don't think the strength difference between me and a woman would ever be so great where I 'd truly be in fear of my life. EVen if faced with a stronger woman, I feel like I could bite, kick and go "hog wild" to escape.

However, if a really strong guy attacked and tried to rape me, I think I would have a hard time escaping, no matter what dirty tricks I tried.

Any other guys feel this way?

Are golddigging American women and other Western women responsible for murder, genocide, and slavery taking place in Africa?

Why are Western women so attracted to such superficial rocks? Do women that wear diamond rings, necklaces, and earrings have blood on their hands? Are they aware that her demands are responsible for the blood, sweat, and tears endured by impovrished people of the world

The other day I was at the gym, and heard some superficial, stuck-up, ball-busting Western woman gossipping with another woman, saying how she wouldn't marry her fiance unless he bought her a big enough stone. And I overheard her ranting that she wouldn't take her fiance's last name if married. Men work hard to take care of their women, and many women are unappreciative and get mad about stone size.

Thankfully, I'm with a wholesome woman, and we've agreed that if we planned on getting married, we'd look in to other alternative engagement/wedding rings.

Hi again brothers, I always care deeply about Men rights and the being of Men.

Through out my school and college year, all that I ever hear about in some class room is "women rights", "women movement" and how men have "abuse" women blah..blah.. And other nonsensical crap. I think it is clear that the West have become too feminize and women focus. Not once did Men's right ever being mention.

Me and many of my male friends have talks about this, we feel that the Men movement should get a lot more attention. I know gentlemen like Happy_Snappy and mathewssh run fantastic website that talks about Men rights. But we need to make it so that Men rights get some attention in the media too.

So Gentlemen what can we do to make Men's rights more well known and acknowledge?

Do you feel we need to be a lot active and militant?

I have answered a few questions re virginity in Womens Health. Here is an example:
"And just saying so you know..Your hymen has nothing to do with virginity. A virgin is someone who has not had sexual relations with someone else. Period.

Using tampons might tear your hymen but it doesn't always. You can use tampons and not tear but you may stretch it. You can tear or wear your hymen from being active. And you may not know when it happens..there isn't always pain and bleeding.

And you may not have a hymen..some girls are born w/o it or with so little tissue it makes no difference.

Also many women don't bleed the first time they have sex because their hymen was torn or stretched and worn before. This is very common and happens from just living an active day to day life. Including using tampons sometimes."

Do most women believe that being bossy, confrontational, aggressive, egotistical, loud and stubborn are attractive traits?

This is the type of behavior a lot of feminists seem to encourage in women. And "real" men are expected to seek out women with these traits.

Some people actually think women are turning into Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, yet these women are very rich and famous, unlike nearly every other young woman in America. I meet young women every day who are responsible, caring, mature adults, working and paying their bills. Don't you think it's a myth that women are turning into wealthy, famous stars, with no job or responsbilities? Doesn't the average women work at a job, pay their bills, and no one hears about it?
