Cool thing about Feminism is that a man is no longer obligated to marry. I don't have to support some gold digging woman and risk losing my home, assets, kids and retirement. I can live my own life and do exactly what I want.

Now all my debts are paid off (including the mortgage). I tend to spend only about 30% of my take home pay (unless I want something big like the expensive laptop I bought last month). That usually leaves around 2400 a month totally extra. It's not a bad way to live.

@MotherNatureisBiased i wonder how many actual, living breathing adults died because of lack of health care or gun shot wounds. i wonder how many babies died because of child abuse at the hands of their parents or neglect.

don't pretend to care about babies or life, you ignoramus. it's a woman's choice whether or not to give birth, and she makes the decision. a 1 month old fetus isn't a BABY. why don't you care more about actual babies, and mind your own business.

@kassandramd - We're not going to worship women anymore either! Open your own doors and pay for your own meals! Want a diamond? Get it yourself!

But women hold 100% of reproductive power in this country despite men being exactly 1/2 of the reproductive process! Why should men have to live their lives based on the reproductive choices of women?! Men need a way to opt out of fatherhood just as women have a way to opt out of motherhood. No person should have to live their life based on the choices and actions of any other person! If women have 100% choice then they should have 100% financial responsibility for their choice.

I'm not buying those numbers,Gloria Steinam worked for the CIA & feminism was never about equality,see how she's blinking her eyes its a telltale sighn that she's lying,now the wage gap lie.

@MyOttoLink You brought his argument to its logical conclusion and this is where women get away with blaming men for everything. They can coyly deny and put up a veneer of innocence due to the fact that their manipulation is covert. "What are little boys made of? Frogs and snails And puppy-dogs' tails, That's what little boys are made of. What are little girls made of? What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice And everything nice, That's what little girls are made of" BULLSHIT! LOL

@tmac473 are you saying that b/c women want equality we should have two black eyes? you are the typical low self-esteem alpha male who is threatened by women i love being a feminist and fuck male privilege love you gloria!

@MycoalClawsin notice that there aren't that many women who are minorities in this country. If they are not representatives, then they have not earned that, just like every other group. Why pick and choose reps based on color and sex? That's rather backwards, wouldn't you say?

Social equality? Girls get1000 times more opportunities for sex and romance - where's the equality? Sex and romance is a basic human NEED. Freedom is power and with great power comes great responsibility. Only females can heal the males - and that is by stopping the denial of their basic needs. Have some love for this life bitches!

[startxxx1991]

Feminism separated women from men and married them to the government

@vention4wh The social stigma is gone? The expectation that men do that is still there, very much so.
