I have a curious question for all the women here. What have YOU done in the last week to help a man? Or what nice thing have you done for a man?
**NOTE**: Not a boyfriend, husband or father. What have you done for a man who is not serving you in some way?

Strangers? Notice I didn't say "male friend" You haven't even done anything for guys who are supposed to be your friends?

Great question.
A lot of women walk around thinking men owe them something. I'll be standing in line, and self-serving women who are at least somewhat attractive will cut in front of me slyly, like I'm supposed to bow down to her because she's a woman. Sometimes I say something, but I normally don't say anything -- I just let the woman live in her bubble of selfiousness and misandry. Or I'll be walking down an aisle, and women (white women especially) will just walk and cross my path like I'm not even there. Like I'm invisible to her. I have to stop abruptly to avoid a collision (which would then be blamed on me since I'm the man). And it's not like she doesn't see me walking, she just views me as some nobody that's in her way, and that I should stop for her, like she's a princess walking down a red carpet.
Women think men that don't even know them are supposed to bend over backwards and treat her like a princess. Many women in the US and many Western countries suffer from a condition known as the "Princess Complex".
How many women will get mad at me now that I've told the truth?
Zikiru: Instead of sidestepping the question by reflecting back the same question to him, how about addressing the issue? Secondly, saying that you have a "job" where you *have* to help people speaks volumes. I believe Mike T was speaking about women that do favors and help men out of the goodness of their heart (like men routinely do for women), not because their employer gives them a paycheck.
random: You totally missed the point. He didn't say anything about "serving men". He was referring to doing courteous favors for a man, or helping him out when he needs a helping hand. This is something men usually do for women. Do you do anything helpful for men?

I held a door open for a couple of men the other day because I got to the door first and I know how frustrating it feels when the person right in front of you doesn't hold the door for that couple of extra moments. I smiled and said "thank you" to a man that held a door open for me. That's pretty much the extent of it because I haven't left the house that much this past week.
LycraSpandex, you are only telling half of the truth. The type of women you describe(and it isn't mostly white women, that type of woman covers all races) will do those sorts of things to other women as well.

My father certainly doesn't "serve" me, nor would I expect a significant other to. I want a partnership, not a d@mn butler. Jeez.
And then there's the question of why I should do anything for a man? I mean, look, I'm a nice person. I'm helpful. I have guy friends and guy coworkers who I help out and have fun with. But why are you asking this? Am I supposed to go out of my way to, uh, "serve" the men in my life? Is that my only function as a woman? What about myself? Or are you trying to make a point that feminists are all selfish b!tches who wouldn't help a man to save their lives, which kind of sounds like might be your angle? I can't imagine another reason why you'd ask such a question in a place usually used for questions about feminism.

I actually haven't done much to help anybody the past week. I have been busy with work, visitors and also trying to figure out how I'm going to work out my schedule for a foster child I'll be getting in a couple of months...oh yeah...the gender of the foster child is not known, so who knows maybe when I do get the child and it's a boy, I'll be able to tell you I filed the paperwork for my little foster boy- so ask me again in a couple of months.

I held a door for several guys as they were walking into a store.
A guy dropped his briefcase at the train station and some papers fell out, I helped him pick them up.
I gave a guy directions in the mall.
I fixed my husband coffee.

I honestly can't say that I have or haven't.
Although, I did almost jump the gun to confront someone who made a very stupid and ignorant comment about a young man intentionally.
I re-thought and surprisingly, this person apologized to the young man which restored my faith in people.

If one among you replaced into sensible adequate to step exterior into the genuine international - you will possibly see how pathetic, pitiable and stupid you all sound.

I help men every day. I am a home health aide. I help them with baths, getting dressed, laundry, whatever they need help with. These are men that I don't know until I walk into their homes for two hours. I may never see them again in my life.
Now ask yourself this: would you do that for a woman? Or do you believe that men are superior?
If so, that is very saddening to me. I wouldn't be angry, just sad for you and the wasted life you would live.
