are more aggressive (and commit more acts of domestic violence against men than the other way around) when the overall stats for perpetrators of violent crimes are heavily male? (The arrests, and convictions.) If women really are more often the "aggressors", wouldn't it be visible outside the home as well? Why are most violent crimes male-to-male if women are such aggressors?

It seems to me that women are seen as worthless on a global scale and violence against women and children is on the increase.

Upon seeing a handsome guy/beautiful woman, is not uncommon that people think: "Must be a loving person", "Must have a successful career", "I'd like to know him/her" and so forth.

Why is that...?


(Yeah, I'm kind of whining because I'm ugly...but answer anyway)

Is it Darwinism, or is it because it gets in the way of being trashy, shameless and cold-hearted? Femininity really doesn't mean being weak or subservient, does it? (I think not.)

be the one to chase the mice out of the house and catch the spiders and kill the cockroaches.... and get out of bed in the middle of the night when a branch brushes against the window? Surely equal rights means I should be able to stay snuggled in bed from time to time while she chases the mouse with a broom!

What do you think about this?

(Oh yeah.. this one time there was a red bellied black snake in the garage.. and she locked me in there with it so it wouldn't get in the house ~ do you think she increased my insurance policy for a reason?)

Does the child have any benefits of having an older parent? Or is the child stigmatized for having parents that are older than their friends parents?

Don't you think it is absurd? One more stone to put in front of our feet?

Someone is too young for a certain job. Just seven years later this same person is too old for that same job (story told by a friend).

Again, why age matters so much?

What about our accomplishments as humans?

Why we keep getting categorized in little boxes: race, religion, gender, ideologies and age?

Does this bothers you as much as it bothers me?

there are some groups who believe in equal parenting (despite history of DV), false allegations of rape and DV and punishment of women (although men also make false claims against women); attack DV services (that would also help men).

Do they seek equality with a vengeance?

xyonline:

The fathers’ rights movement will continue to seek an equality concerned with fathers’ ‘rights’ and status rather than the actual care of children (Rhoades, p. 156). The fathers’ rights movement will continue to pursue ‘equality with a vengeance’ (Rhoades, 2000, p. 155). It prioritises formal principles of equality over positive parenting and the well-being of women and children, conflates children’s welfare with parental equality and ignores actual caregiving divisions of labour. Its advocates will persist in trying to re-establish paternal authority and fathers’ decision-making related to their children’s and ex-partners’ lives (Bertoia & Drakich, 1993; Cornell, 1998,; Stacey, 1998,

I hear a lot of people with an unhealthy amount of disdain for "white men" when it was "white men" that built this country from nothing.

& guess what?

When the "white man" was doing all of those horrible things to the indians & later with slaves, did the "white women" protest?

Or did they sit back & enjoy the spoils?

Point is... Just because the "white men" held the guns, the "white women" had blood on their hands as well.

...& yet "white women" not only get away free, but get to join the attack on "white men."

Racism & sexism isn't cool... & YES, men can indeed be targets of both.

So to the racist & sexist haters of the "white men" ...Please lose the self-righteousness.

We all have good and bad experiences with people.
I would never hate men because I had the misfortune of having some bad experiences with some jerks, as I judge people according to their behaviour as individuals.

So why it seems in this category that there are so many generalizations?

Thoughts?

A friend told me his theory about relationships. He said that unmarried couples work harder at keeping a relationship together because if it would be so easy to end it (just move out), then by staying together you are making more of an effort to stay together.

Many married people I know won't get divorced because it would cost too much, both financially and emotionally, so they stay together in spite of the relationship problems. My parents were good examples of this.

I am not suggesting that married couples don't have to work on their relationships because a good relationship is based on love and respect for each other, and a continuing compromise when you have differences.

But do you feel that married couples work harder because they have so much to lose, or do unmarried couples work harder because they have nothing to lose?

OK I have this book that deals with all these personility types and how they play into dating. One area lists different "types" of men and while the names are kind of silly the descriptions are sooooo right on.
One of the types listed is the "Boy Scout" and I'm sitting here thinking while that type sounds nice on paper--the one's I've seen are rather sad....what do other women (or men) think?

I'll qout the description: "Always solving everyone else's problems, scouts do more than thier share. Charming, empathetic, loyal, dependable,protective, thoughtful, optimistic, practical, and unlikely to take sides in a conflict, he gives much more then he gets. It makes him feel good to make a difference. He obeys society's rules and saves his money wisely. A scout has an innate feeling of responsibility to help others and feels guilty when he takes--thus, his own needs often go unrecognized."

I bought a book "The War Against Men--Why Women are Winning and What men must do if America is to Survive." In just the first pages of the preface, I'm learning of some serious claims by the author that American men are under attack in nearly all areas of life and that women have made tremendous gains in the last 30 years. There's something about Feminism infiltrating the public school system. I can't wait to read on. What do you think? Is there a war against men in America and in the world?

"Men have been driven out of the teaching fields, especially in the early grades. What is interesting is the continued claimed that girls are discriminated against in the early grades, yet the teachers are nearly all women.

Another good book is Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Tell Them by Dr. Warren Farrell, who served on the first board of directors of N.O.W.
