@DidYouJustMakeThatUp Nothing better? It used to be ok for a man to hit his wife if she disobeyed him... That's a totally ignorant comment. I am so lucky as a woman that I can get an education, get the same job as a man, not get sexually harassed at said job, and control my own life in general. All while having amazing sex with a partner of my choosing without getting pregnant. I love my feminist sisters for making that possible for me but there is still inequality.

@DidYouJustMakeThatUp Maybe the Dad should stay home and take care of the kids then. I don't think men are incapable of child care more power to the stay at home dads. Also I was in day care from 0-13 and it's a great way to socialize children. I'm more independent then I would have been if i stayed home with my mom the whole time. Plus, my highly educated mother with a well paying job was able to send us to camp and lessons because she waited to start a family until she was 30.

@seventy18 Relax, just contributing to what was obviously a pity party about how women let you down. This is a good point though because you're kind of being defensive and a "bitch" right now. I don't think a man my age would have a problem getting laid either. It's not a gender problem it's a you problem.

@StarFire4 Hows my Life sad? I have all I need I go dirt biking and travel and at 6' 1" and 225 lbs I'm a mover and shaker I just refuse to swing to the beat of womanhood or any woman when I need to get laid I call Jen or Tania and cuff em 600 as for you you just spread your legs and men come running guess what I'm the guy in the bar that just dont give a fuck I ignore you then Jen walks up looking like a million bucks and I walk off I turn an give you a smile as we leave together thats control

@seventy18 You've got a sad life dude. I get bitched out by men as much as women. Women can be assholes just as much as men are, equal opportunity right? I am a woman and I open doors for men just as much as women. I have a lot of female friends so until I'm looking to settle down realistically all I need them for is to get down on their knees as well. Look we have something in common. I'm young and attractive though so I don't need to pay for it. Good luck dude!

@MolecularMoonlight my mother was a drunk. my first wife cheated on me for six months behind my back. the next girl was a cheater as well... guess I make bad choices.. all my friends are divorced as well... the only thing I need from women is for them to suck my cock once in a while.. so I pay them to do this... I believe in equal opportunity... LMAO.. I dont even bother with women now and its liberating... Fuck You

@seventy18 So, women who don't respond the way your ego desires morph into dogs? No, I think it's you. :09

@StarFire4 Beautifully said! You plucked the thought right out of my head! lol Susan B. Anthony once said (I'm paraphrasing), "I don't want women to be grateful. I want them to be hungry so they will push the movement forward." We SHALL overcome! Much love!

In 1988 I opened a door for a woman as I have done for anyone approaching from behind gender never had anything to do with this common courtesy. The Lady quickly scolded and snapped "I CAN OPEN THE DOOR FOR MYSELF" with a snarl.. she is right I havent opened a door for another woman since. that same week I was working on a garage door as a lady walked under she hit her head on the header I said are you ok? she snapped back of course not... Women are bitches thats why you will never rule.

@DidYouJustMakeThatUp I don't think you don't have the facts because you're a man. I know you don't have the facts because your opinions are juvenile. My dad has 4 daughters aging 20-27 and none of them have had children and are all college educated. What does that tell you? He raised a daughter that doesn't bat an eye when taking on a bigot over twice her age. That's good parenting.

This just goes to show how sexist you truly are. My dad taught me how important education and birth control is and he has 4 daughters the oldest being 27 who is a trained pharmacist and now training to be a pilot. She has no children and guess what? Takes birth control. Which is a direct result of the feminist movement. Lots of strong women in my family sir. Thankfully we had an open minded, educated, supportive father. I now count my blessings that I didn't have a father like you.
