@MrBlackhaw - oh my God. She's not putting down ALL men or women - it is true through. Women have been held back do to the fact that they have kids & most of the time men are not as interested in their children as women are. Today, men do act more interested because it's the fashion. Its a fact, Jack. Maybe if she said it in a more "pleasant" manner you would have agreed. She didnt mean "every man or woman since time began". Geez. Perhaps you'd like to believe all men are like you, but their NOT

@ChiroQuacker and why would have been better a woman to be like you said...sounds more like a "domestic slave" to me! and wait a second!!! why has to be like that? So that you can be the MAN? so you can dominate? so you can do whatever you want without an objection? Sorry dude, but that's not how things works! if you think that's marriage, then you are very wrong my boy!

@MrBlackhaw I totally agree with you, I mean this woman literally says: "testosterone is actually some sort of chemical, that is in the human body, and testosterone gives people, men who have it, uhm an advantage because it is what makes men aggressive." This could have been said by someone in the 5th grade who has little knowledge about hormones and what they do.

@mrlopez2681 Although I agree with the sentiment, it has been shown that most men subjected to a child appearing in their lives lose for a while a substantial amount of testosterone and develop a more mothering, nurturing attitude (although this depletes as the child gets older, ending more or less completely when it reaches puberty).

@sheLovesG HA! LOL! I am anything but PC. I just know when I hear crazy talk. And she does a lot of it.

[sheLovesG]

@MrBlackhaw Because she's right. You, on the other hand, can not see past your PC brainwashing.

It is. It's helping myself.

[MrBlackhaw]

What a quack. First I am a man and I am truly interested in my kids. It is not just a fad. Waht a put down to every man. Then she also criticizes every woman for wanting to be a mother. And states that being a mother is a disadvantage. So she puts down many women also.  Why do people listen to people like this?

[ChiroQuacker]

women need to be more like june cleaver and donna reed and samantha "bewitched" stevens.....

the perfect wife....helpful, supportive, humble, loyal

a cook in the kitchen, a hostess in the living room, a hot sexed whore in the bedroom

thats what women need to get back to being

not what they have become...bunch of selfish, backstabbing, emasculating bitches

go see the film "THE HELP"...women are depicted as mean as hornets.

todays women dont need testosterone...they are power hungry already!
