Why Women Ruin Everything For Women
If the thought of a kiss makes you think “sexual assault,” then maybe you need to rethink the people with whom you associate. Don’t project that warped world view onto the rest of society and ruin it for the normal people. The feminist minority might want Ashley Wilkes, but the rest of us want Rhett Butler.
Women complain that the available men today are beta males. We want them to man up, we want them to be bold, but what do we do when they are? We accuse them of all manner of wickedness. We can blame the men all we want, but is it really reasonable to do so? Ladies, would we not be better served to blame the true culprit: feminism? It is feminists who have men afraid to be men. It is feminists who have made it impossible for men to be strong and then berated them for their weakness. It is the rest of us who are letting them get away with it, and that has to stop.
Women – Stand against the shrews and stand up for men.
Men – Stop letting said shrews dictate your behavior. They’re not the boss of you.
And, women? Please stop ruining everything for women.

Hahaha. It’s not only women. Read what one of my favorite American morons, John Scalzi, President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America has to say about feminism and beta-males. Turn his “arguments” on their head and he’s the butt of his own jokes.
Typical liberal doofus, typical Orwellian genius, typical apologist for why water is wet when sand wants to be too. Sand cries, Scalzi brings a tissue.
Multiply Scalzi by about a million and there’s plenty of male help changing America’s smelly 1950s diapers. Yes there really are lots of the ideal Oprah-man about – who is essentially a woman with male genitals.
I like Scalzi’s science fiction writing. The opening chapter of “The Android’s Dream” has to be one of the funniest chapters in English writing. “Judge Sn Goes Golfing”? I will will (heh, Glenn Reynolds!) it to a choice niece or nephew.
That said (and yes, Chomsky-style rhetorical throat-clearing done), he does seem a bit self-hating. But, well, he’s a *writer*, surrounded by *writers*. What did you expect? “Welcome, you huge hunk of manhood”? “Make yourself at home, you huge hunk of manhood”? “Marry my daughter, you huge hunk of manhood”? You’ve got to remember that he’s just an intellectual. He’s a person of the mind. The highest achievement of the new America. You know … a moron.
Well, humor’s in the eye of the beholder, so one can never say one is wrong on that score. The chapter in question starts out, “Dirk Moeller didn’t know if he could fart his way into a major diplomatic incident. But he was ready to find out.”
It goes downhill from there, since the chapter is about smells and having secret tech shoved up your backside. Mad Magazine was far more sophisticated. That chapter didn’t make me smile once. It’s 6 yr. old stuff, like the over rated Terry Pratchett.
If you’re going to do that, I like this passage from a Jack Vance-like “Dying Earth” story. A wizard walks into a small village and has no luck getting directions from 3 bumpkins standing next to their hay wain.
“Use your wizardly powers to determine the location of the inn, answered the oldest man. It reeks of magic a pompous thaumaturge such as yourself should detect from leagues away. In fact I detect such a stench emanating from you now, though it may be the result of an ineffective wipe the last time you evacuated your bowels while crouching on your haunches blinking at some tussock along the road.
The wizard took an appurtenance from beneath his robes and held it to his mouth. Tones that effected a spell called the Sour Spasm jangled the still afternoon air as they emerged from the device. The clothes of the three bumpkins turned the color of an antique manuscript and then crumbled to dust and fell away to leave the men naked and blinking in the pale sun.”
Scalzi writes a lot of humorous stuff. None of it actually is.
The horror of those Jack Vance paragraphs will never leave my mind.
Horrible. Utterly atrocious. Much worse than an extended fart joke.
(See how that works?)
Scalzi’s wife is a piece of work too. I read some of her blog. Psycho b*tch from hell.
Hhhmmm, they sound like the quintiscential ‘Perfect Couple.’ They deserve each other! LOL!
Hey, Redshirts by John Scalzi is funny as hell. Haven’t read anything else by him, but any good Trek fan will LTAO at Redshirts.
As for writers surrounded by writers – check out Larry Correia’s work. No pansy, cowering males there (and some pretty badass females as well).
Really? Read the reviews at Amazon. Even half his self-acknowledged fans pan it. It’s such a lame idea that Austin Powers takes the same thing, namely, what happens to the unnamed henchmen who are cannon fodder in TV and film, and deals with it in a few brief scenes. Extending it out to a novel is like writing a 10,000 word essay on a single pun. Like I said, vintage Mad Magazine is far more sophisticated humor. Try writing your own version of Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions or doing one of their movie satires. Now those guys were writers, and clever. Self-acknowledged proud beta-males like Scalzi are the butt of jokes of every form of satire I value, from the Marx Bros. to R. Crumb to Monty Python to Jack Vance. Unless of course you identify with sallow, stiff-necked redneck morons with stupid expressions on their faces.
I’d like to second the Larry Correia shoutout. I just read Monster Hunter for the first time last week and I still chuckle over it. There’s something immortal about a book whose first line is:
“On one otherwise normal Tuesday evening I had the chance to live the American dream. I was able to throw my incompetent jackass of a boss from a fourteenth-story window.”
At some point as I age, I might suffer from dementia and start drooling again like a baby. Somewhere in between I might read books like Monster Hunter International, which frankly makes Eerie, Creepy and Capt. Future look like high literature, since I had to endure no scenes where someone talks about the “race card, the ones that pimp poverty” and “bejeweled women and men in Confederate gray, royalty of a forgotten time and kingdom” while making sure to mention Monster Hunters were inclusive of blacks 100 years ago.
Besides hit ‘em on the head politics, there should be a moratorium on dwarves, vampires, zombies, werewolves, young apprentices, dragons, shape-shifters, quests, and clever child thieves in medieval cities. Fantasy has turned into a conformist dope-fest churned out of a stupid stereotype factory.
Why is it that fiction that is full of crude sex jokes and bathroom jokes, the sort of thing that appeals to 12-year-old boys, is always labelled “for mature audiences”? Shouldn’t it be labelled, “for immature audiences”?
Jay, I think you are on to something there.
Here’s a good example of why Scalzi’s a doltish PC ditz. This is his humor, from some moronic ditty about what cats think of humans:
“Which makes them the perfect tools for such tasks as opening doors, getting the lids off of cat food cans, changing television stations and other activities that we, despite our other obvious advantages, find difficult to do ourselves. True, chimps, orangutans and lemurs also have opposable thumbs, but they are nowhere as easy to train.”
Now there’s this guy named Vox who’s having a net war with Scalzi. Scalzi’s giving money to the usual PC black hole charities for every utterance of a certain kind. Vox’s response is this:
“Here’s what I’m going to do: From now until the end of 2013 (and backdating to January 1st), each time John “I am a rapist” Scalzi forces himself on a woman “without their consent or desire and then batter(s) them sexually”, I’m going to put $5 into a pot. At the end of the year, I’m going to tally it up. All the money, up to $1,000, will be donated to Victoria’s Secret, a stripper named Sunshine, a restaurant called The Black Cat, and the Sexual Assault Response Network of Central Ohio.”
Now that’s funny. Actually and really humorous. Not la-la, “I wish I was an idiot punster like Terry Pratchett” funny.
Yep.
‘Nuff said.
Not all.
There’s a reason why conservative women keep their looks and sex appeal to a surprisingly late age, and often for life.
They keep their husbands happy too.
Last year my wife had an accident in which she broke her back and both her feet.
After loads of surgery, her doctor informed her she’d walk again, but she might never wear high heels, ever again.
Her response? “Honey, you gotta give a girl a martini before deliverin’ that news.”
She’s currently on a self-managed “recovery to high heels” program.
In other words, “I understand.”
She’s a keeper.
I broke my ankle (very badly) a number of years ago. After surgery, I followed my doctor’s orders to a “T”, except for the part about no more high heels. My response to that directive wasn’t snappy like your wife’s, just a silent “when hell freezes over”. No one will ever part me from my stilettos. Your wife sounds like one cool lady.
This is one woman who agrees!!! I have told my husband that these dang “feminists” have screwed it up for the REAL women, women who take pride in being a wife and a mother, and a conservative one at that! I think they are just jealous God didn’t make them men. I say these type of women who want to act like they are just as tough as men need to start being treated like a man!
I never heard anything of this “rapey” crap until reading this blog. Ladies if you think the “feminists” are ruining it, than you have given away your power. No one ruins anything unless you allow it to change your life, your behavior. Why blame someone for a life you think you can’t live?
What if I want to live in a sustainable and just conservative nation with conservative institutions and like-minded individuals and happy un-medicated children conserving the sacred and proven principles of traditional Christianity? Can I complain about social mores THEN?
SOME women “act crazy,” not all.
Specifically, the FemiNazi’s are the “crazy” ones.
However, the rest of us–well, at least us non-feminazi, Conservative (aka, PRETTY, per this UCLA study http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/the-gop-has-a-feminine-face-finds-238867.aspx)–are NOT “crazy” unless we’re MADE that way by bad male speech or behavior.
See, sometimes you GUYS drive us NUTS! LOL!
But, we wouldn’t mind if you guys decided to be MEN again. You know, strong, capable, caring, romantic, sexy MEN! Yes, I know that would take a lot of WORK, but we’re WORTH IT! (Just don’t turn around and treat us like prostitutes or porn stars! We want your respect and love, not your lust.)
So, are you GAME?
You are so right, women do act crazy. Women should tell fart stories too!
Millions of men are abandoning the idea of marriage, cohabitation, and dating due to the absurd gynocentrism of our present society.
If well-intentioned women want to salvage what’s left of healthy male-female dynamic in society, they’d better get really loud really fast in standing up to Feminism and in reforming laws involving marriage & child custody.
Up to this point, most women seem to either enjoy the gynocentrism or ignore it because they don’t think it benefits them to speak out.
All I can say is “Ladies, don’t say we didn’t warn you.”
“gynocentrism?” Is this another friggin neologism I need to memorize? If so, I guess I need a clear definition.
Female supremacism would be another way to put it. Examples:
Man = bad, woman = good. All men are responsible for all bad things that ever happened in the history of the world. All men are abusive sexual predators in waiting. Male victims of violence aren’t worthy of consideration. Women deserve access to billions of dollars worth of social services not available to men, despite that men often outnumber women as those in need. Men and women commit domestic violence at similar rates but we only care about a violence against WOMEN act. When a man is unfaithful, he is a cruel bastard. When a woman is unfaithful, her wicked husband made her do it. Men are shitty husbands and fathers while women aren’t responsible for anything they do.
Etc, etc, etc.
Had you been exposed to people who opine seriously and at length on the phallocentrism of society, the definition, and the joke, would not need to be explained. Derrida coined phallocentrism. Enough said.
Hey, the “length” of “phallocentrism.” Haha. I got that joke without taking Derrida seriously! Thanks for the laugh!
Here’s another word for you: Misandry.
A hard man is good to find.
Men need love too.
Just sayin’.
Because it was romantic.
I guess you’ve never been grabbed by some random creep when you’re out for an evening with your friends, or you wouldn’t think it was “romantic.” It’s actually really disgusting.
This “REAL MEN just walk up and grope!” thing feels more like a knee-jerk “Must oppose everything feminists say!” instead of any reasoned position based on morals or ethics or anything. I expected conservatives to say things more like “I would shoot a guy who humiliated my teenage daughter like that.”
Huh.
Actually, I have been grabbed and kissed by a stranger. Sorry.
You know, I’m guessing that HeatherRadish is shy on the Heather and long on the Radish.
My wife and young boys watched the commercial. The boys laughed and my wife fairly cheered, “See! He’s not exactly crying on the way home, is he guys!” The father knows something about the young man who finds out something about himself…and so does the girl. And everyone will have something to talk about in the locker room.
Does anyone get ‘metaphor’ anymore?
Liberals, leftists, feminists don’t get metaphor.
Irony and satire are completely and utterly beyond them.
(oohhh, this is fun, generalizations
)
That liberals are strangers to irony is not a generalisation, it’s an axiom.
Not to mention a primary requirement.
I find that liberals, when confronted on their first principles (rather, their lack thereof) will either turn to fighting retreats, or dismissive irony, without fail. You can’t even get them in to a serious discussion half the time without fending off several waves of preemptive irony.
P.S. Nobody but you said grope.
You may want to research that photograph then. It wasn’t exactly a romantic encounter. It may represent one all these years later, but at the time it was anything but.
I do not know what you mean by researching the picture. You will notice the street behind them was filling with people. There was a celebration commencing. That celebration was replicated in towns large and small across the nation. In Chicago, after work, my two oldest sisters went to Grant Park to join the euphoria. My eldest has a framed cover of Life, that picture, on her wall. As she says, “That picture says it all!” Romantic? Define romantic. You will notice the Nurse is nor showing signs of struggling. Her left hand is at her side, not pushing the Sailor away, as one would expect from an unwelcome advance. Last year there was an interview of a woman, who claimed to be that nurse. She indicated that the kiss was taken but, it was also given in the spirit of the moment.
The photograph is part of our, still living, history. For those who live it, it is iconic. Was it, is it Romantic ask them, and believe what they tell you.
So this isn’t an article that pits women against women. Good to know.
I dislike the ghetto of sex column writing. It’s Salon-ey.
Ah, feminists. The other day I was on Huffpo, debunking the 77 cents for every dollar salary thing, and a commenter named “Susan” immediately terminated our debate because I called her “Sue.” She said that my “uninvited familiarity was an attempt to demean her and dilute her position.”
This is fascinating, because when men report getting groped by women inappropriately feminists are often the first to tell him to “man up” , that “men always want it” , and various other rationalizing.
I work with a number of Indian, Guatemalan, and Mexican women, and they’re all very touchy-feely. Not in a sexual way, they give pats and strokes as tokens of approval and affection.
For myself, I don’t dare reciprocate, and I enjoy being “groped” by women.
Those Indian, Guatemalan and Mexican women are real women that’s why they are appealing.
Give them time. Sooner or later, their attitudes will be appropriately westernized by their American sisters.
I laughed, but this is serious. It has consequences. Post-2012, polls showed the most important question voters asked was “Does he care about problems like mine?” Not, “Does he have feasible solutions to today’s problems? Does he have the experience and demonstrated success to carry them out? Does his vision for the America of the future agree with mine?”
Does he care about my problems is what you ask your boyfriend, not your president. It’s un-serious and old-fashioned, dependent-female attitude. He doesn’t have to fix the problems, just CARE about them. Could anything reveal the negative aspects of the feminization of civil society worse? This mindset explains that gulf between approval of Obama, and frustration with the results of his misguided policies. People (women voters) just aren’t thinking this through.
As a woman, I’m insulted by this barrage of commercials where white men are portrayed as geeky losers, while the woman and minorities are the disdainful cognoscenti. I’m astonished that men continue to put up with it. But I think this demeaning and demoralizing through media has done it’s trick. Fewer men, and fewer conservatives voted this time around.
I think that’s why the gun issue has aroused such passion. Look at the townhall meeting videos, one in New York state and one in Illinois. Full of angry men. You can clobber us all day long, but we’ll fight this one. In one, a soldier stands up to defend the 2nd A., which is startling because it’s an actual Man (capital M) drawing a hard line, and saying “you will stop right there.” They’re worth looking up. This is a demographic that defeated fascism and communism, and freed millions from tyranny around the globe. They need to rediscover their traditional strengths, and do so again.
I have a thing for South Asian women so I can understand the appeal but that would make me really uncomfortable in the workplace
Appealing or no
I lived in Mexico for many years. The standard greeting between friends (women to women, men to women)is a light hug and kiss on the cheek. It’s a show of affection that makes you feel good. But then I came back to the states and wow! you don’t dare do that here. Sad…there’s nothing sexual about it and I do really miss it. It just seems like friends here aren’t that close and people aren’t as affectionate. Our society is eroding. I wouldn’t doubt that in not too many more years we won’t get along at all, but before that I’ll go back to Mexico.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Let’s be honest. Whether or not you are outraged by the behavior has much to do with your impression of the person of the person. If he’s hot, or a good kisser, or he’s someone you like and was done in good humor, or if he really has that manly confidence, then you simply do not mind at all. If he’s not, you get all mad.
It’s all purely subjective… and it’s a dual standard. It’s not sexuaL harassment, if it’s welcome. If it’s welcome, then “rapey” is hot. We men know this and accept the game.
The problem arises when “womyn” play by different rules, and advances and one-off kisses are treated like serious crimes. What’s really tragic is that, most of the complainers would never have a man treat them like that. They are just complaining about it happening to other women, and those women seem to enjoy it. I don’t know if it’s envy or man-hate. Probably both, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and the feminists squeak the loudest.
I was in Pittsburgh (mistake number one) at a place called “Frederick’s” (mistake number two) and I was coming out of the men’s room and the way the hallway and exit were located, I bumped into a woman going the other way coming from the dance floor.
We hit at a fairly good clip, neither of us seeing the other and I grabbed her to keep her from falling to the floor as I am six foot and she was five foot and about 100 lbs, tops. I played it with a smile on my face and the energy of her losing her balance took us in a slight circle and I made a joke of it, turning it into a pseudo “dance move”.
She was furious.
“DON’T YOU EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN!”
(I was surprised by her reaction)
“YOU IGNORANT HICK! LOOK AT YOU…HOW YOU’RE DRESSED!”
The insult was lost on me as boots, jeans and buckle are normal for me.
“I KNOW WRESTLERS AND I’M GOING TO GO GET THEM AND HAVE THEM KICK YOUR ASS YOU IGNORANT HICK!” She repeated.
Little did she know that I worked in a very technical field and that her wrestler friends would find nothing but vapor should they come looking for me. I mean, I’m not stupid.
Later, when at the bar, she seemed to make a point to get next to me while I was ordering a beer. I tried to apologize and explain.
She yelled at me some more, revealing her motivation for trying to get next to me.
My guess is that she’s 1) stupid and 2) likes yelling and 3) desires that men throw her around. I’m not into that…I find it somehow anathema to the romantic side of things. So…while she continued to yell at me, I walked away shaking my head and played pool with my friends.
*Note to self. No matter how romantic the notion…21st century male behavior does not include touching, looking at, talking to, acknowledging women whom you don’t know. They will react poorly. They will react badly. Do not kiss a woman you don’t know. Not even if you get the keys to the Audi…and it probably applies to women you do know as well. It is not romantic..it is dangerous and you might get maced or worse, stared at by —wrestlers.
I’m a former Pittsburgher who liked it there, but I also liked your story, Flagra Solaris! Based on my experience, just about every large community in the western world today contains a large number of crazed women such as the one you literally ran into.
I would just make an adjustment to your observation about how 21st-century male behavior Shalt Not include looking at, acknowledging, touching, etc. I would re-write it to say that 21st-century males Shalt read the minds of all known and unknown females, as to whether looking at, acknowledging or touching them is at all acceptable. Failure to follow this commandment subjects the male to certain humiliation.
One of the most hilarious videos ever to come out of SNL: “Sexual Harassment and You.”
Very tongue-in-cheek, but very true:
“How to avoid a sexual harassment lawsuit:
*Be good-looking
*Be attractive
*Don’t be unattractive”
Here’s the link, if you’re interested.

Very silly. The cheek turn for an unwanted kiss as old as human kind itself. It’s just a kiss get a grip.
So, a random creep represents all men.
Brush, meet broad.
I’m willing to take some heat, so I’m gonna back up Heather a bit on this one…
My parents were WW2 age, so that Times Square photo is Iconic and “understood”, but the fact is, that guy was a drunken serial groper using the day to take “liberties” with women to the extreme. Mom got “mauled” like that on V-J day too, and she didnt like it.
I’ve also seen plenty of guys like him in college and the Marines, and they are nobody you want around. We called them “cock-blockers” because their stupid behavior is so innapproriate and off-putting, NOBODY gets “lucky”, when they’re around, get it?
Yes, it’s a great photo of the time, because it looks “exuberant”, almost like they are lovers celebrating the dawn of their new future together, unthreatened by (further) war separations and the possibility of death.
But what it ACTUALLY was, was a rude and disgusting a**hole explioting the day to “get some” of what he otherwise could never achieve due to his lack of “man-game”.
A swift and solid slap across his face would have been fully justified followed by her “girlfriends” chasing the guy away with his tail between his legs. Because he was SUCH. A. JERK.
As for the TV Commercial, I found it creepy and inappropriate for a CAR COMPANY to use “jailbait” in such a way to sell product to their (certainly over 30 at that price range?) target customers.
To not only rely upon, but SHOW CONTACT in a pseudo sexual way , of what are essentially (supposed to be) CHILDREN…teenagers (15-18?) at their high school prom? Absolutely, utterly tasteless.
The Girl was just an object, a “trophy”, the Homecoming Queen, the hottie on the pedestal you just “have to get a piece of” before you die… even if it means assaulting her right there in front of her boyfriend on whats supposed to be a meaningful night for HER.… because come –ON, everyone flogs their log thinking about HER in high school, don’t they? So just grab a piece and RUN, because YOU deserve it?
The metaphor (if their even was one) could have been expressed with a little more imagination, cute, flirty, intelligently or romantically…but Hollywood doesn’t have that skill anymore.
Youth and beauty and romance are one thing..Sex and kids is another.
It was tasteless, inappropriate, and downright creepy the way they did it.
If I WERE in the market for that type of car, I would boycott their product because of it.
Because I have daughters.
what do your daughters think of what you said ?
also … if one percent (or ten percent for that matter) of men are creeps, then according to you, should all american men stop showing romance and romantic friendship to women completely ? … i say american women who generalize like you do not only emasculate most american men but they also make life miserable for all the rest of american women. as for me, i have always maintained that: “with some women in america, you have to ask them to sign a notarized affidavit and send it to your attorney stating unambiguously that they want you to (1) kiss and touch them and (2) fuck them without fear of legal repercussions.” thank heaven that there are plenty of other-than-american women around to choose from.
Dear George Costanzo
” should all american men stop showing romance and romantic friendship to women completely ?”
I’m not sure where you’re coming from…I was speaking specifically of THAT famous photograph, and ONE specific car commercial.
But since you never seemed to laid on “Sienfeld” either, let me re-cap things again for you…
There is nothing “romantic” for a lady about being mauled a public street by a drunk. A drunk who takes advantage of tumultuous, celebratory circumstances to serially molest MULTIPLE women, as this sailor was doing, if you’ve ever seen the newsreel footage of the same event.
Its not cool to do that to women on VJ day…or the when The Yankees win the Stanley Cup, or when the Mets win The Superbowl, or whenever ELSE that kind of pathetic drunk losers think “certain circumstances” make it OK to FINALLY go on that tongue kissing, breast groping, leg humping spree they dream about because they are LOSERS who dont know how to TALK to a woman without peeing themselves.
Guys like that RUIN Mardi Gras, Spring Break, Superbowl Parties, Frat Parties, Bachelor Parties, Cruises, Ski Trips and lots of other “fun times” where a cooler head and a touch of CLASS makes the difference between ALL OF US having fun with the ladies till dawn, and NONE OF US even getting a PHONE NUMBER.
Capiche’?
Now, as for the Uber creepy and distasteful car commercial….
If MY SON ran up to the Prom Queen and smacked one on her, in front of a room full of people interrupting the dignity of HER moment of recognition, treating her as nothing but the end zone for him to spiked a ball into when HE WASNT THE RECEIEVER, he would have his ASS handed to him, by ME.
Because its not cool…its rude, and its disrespectful, AND it DOESN’T get you laid.
It gets you MARKED, as a pathetic LOSER, that no other woman who WITNESSED that event will ever even speak to, let alone, fuck.
Basically, the ENTIRE WORLD does NOT revolve around your cock every second of the day…other peoples feelings, dignity, preferences and personal space need to be recognized just as much as your stupid all-important hard-on.
And (surprise!) when you DO, you’ll get more “high-quality” ladies, more often, than if you act like a desperately horny Frat-BOY who cant control himself.
Whats so difficult about that?
How about the boy and girl shared a desk in chemistry class? They’d known each other since elementary school. He was a bookworm and she was a cheerleader with a boyfriend. The social strata of the school demanded that the two shouldn’t mix, but he made her laugh and it was clear in class that she liked him. But that darn boyfriend.
See, there’s a made up back story that clears the kid of sexual assault. It’s also the plot of about 50 teen romance movies and 5000 Bollywood flicks.
Criminey. Does every single thing we see have be a politically correct morality play? Even the back stories in our heads?
Like I say, this is why my daughters are having combat-effective martial arts training, firearms training, and tactical breaching and room-clearing training. My father-in-law taught my wife how to cripple and kill people with her bare hands if she needs to; situational awareness and engage to disengage, and she’s every inch a lady. My daughters will learn the same.
Damn right you are, and gals like THAT are the smartest and sexiest women alive….
With their choice of top-notch guys falling all over thenmselves to “make the cut”.
Discipline…It goes both ways, dont it?
“You have daughters.” And no doubt they will be daddy’s little girls forever.
YOU, in my opinion, are one of the primary reasons that American women are so low on the world’s desirability scale, not to mention the divorce rate initiated 75% of the time by little girls still looking for their dad.
Heather, that romantic kiss photo from 1945 looked, to me, to be more of an expression of happiness that the war was over (at least w/Japan), and not some lust-fueled assault by a “creep.” That man was a U.S. Navy sailor (aka, one of America’s FINEST!) who was NOT “groping” that nurse! Look where his hands were.
Why not make the attempt to see the world as it REALLY is, not through some FemiNazi man-hating haze. Not all men are “creeps,” even if you’ve met some creeps.
I’ve met a few creeps, myself; but I’ve also met quite a few genuinely GOOD men. I could never batch one type with the other, no matter how hard I tried.
Remember, there are also some very disgusting “creepy” women in this world, too. Like the ones who are shallow, money-grubbing, attention-seeking SLUTS who chase after men shamefully, assuming those men will ‘fall’ for them once they’ve had sex. They are SO wrong on every one of their assumptions!
So, both sexes have their embarrassing ‘bad seeds.’
And, sometimes a kiss is just a kiss.
This strange notion of what is romantic is partly why I’ve had all of my daughters take Tae Kwon Do.
Not to mention they damage they do to the country (as a group…not all) with their voting habits.
That’s for sure!
There are two categories of females who are ruining the US:
1) Unmarried leeches who want sex and sometimes also motherhood without taking on the responsibility of finding a worthy man and becoming a good wife and mother;
2) Dykes whose primary motivation in life is their envy and hatred of males and masculinity.
Would that there were some way of keeping both categories off the voting rolls.
How about married leeches who take their husbands to the cleaners?
It’s getting so bad in Atlanta that lawyers are running ads targeted at men, telling then where to go for a good defense against their pig wives.
Not just Altanta friend.
I wouldn’t mind hearing from one of the ladies here about why, in 2013, there is still alimony. With the possible exception of older women without work experience, and money earned during the marriage, why should one adult be forced by a court to give money to another adult? Worse, why are women entitled to “live in the manner to which they have become accustomed?” Seems to me, that if she wants to live like a rich man’s wife, she should be required to stay married to him.
Anybody?
Patrick, I’m actually surprised to hear that… it seems like the bulk of the divorce industry is only interested in representing wives, and husbands are nearly always advised to give in and settle.
New market to tap….
Speaking as a geek of a certain age, trust me, what offended most women, and probably some men, was that the geeky guy forced himself on a woman out of his league. If the guy had been handsome but poor, it would have been romantic; since he’s homely instead, it’s “creepy” or in the modern parlance “geeky”. Trust me when I tell you this, guys who aren’t good-looking were supposed to stay with the “nice” girls who had nice personalities, supposedly, to make up for not being as cute.
They’ve broken the barrier (I’ve always traced the tipping point to the movie “The Revenge of the Nerds” where the head nerd wound up with the prom queen) and now nerds, geeks, etc. are sexy. What happened (in my cynical mind, anyway) is that women discovered the ultimate aphrodisiac in some of these geeks—they make lots of money. Nowadays it’s not as unusual for one of them to get girls…the Varsity QB is going to wind up selling used cars or insurance, and the geek might be the next Bill Gates.
I was born in the wrong era…
On what planet do you live on where geeks are considered sexy by women?
Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA?
Women want to nest and be cared for. Geeks earn.
Bingo! A big paycheck covers a lot of ills, so long as it lasts and is spent freely.
Somewhere in the Bulwer-Lytton writing competition, there’s a finalist writing of a man pulling out that “huge, leathery object that always made her squeal: his wallet.”
Just sayin’
From an old Dan Fogelberg song,
“She said she’d married herself an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry.
She would’ve liked to say she loved the man
But she didn’t like to lie.”
Give that Man a cigar!!!!
Humidified where, exactly.
(Sorry, but Bill Clinton ruined cigars for me.)
There is a line in some Tom Wolfe novel where one catty trophy wife says to another that her husband is rather short. The reply is that, “He’s a lot taller when he stands on his wallet.”
And the short, Rich guy who explained how its not a problem being with women so much taller than him…
“They’re all the same when on they are on their knees”
That would be planet earth.
Proud Girlfriend of a Sexy Geek – going on 19 years!
If you watch the reaction shot in the commercial, the girl liked it.
Does the word, “script”, mean anything to you?
The kid is cute, he’s not ugly. And the whole point of the commercial is that he IS in her league because he drives an Audi.
Yeah, obvioulsy its “Daddies Audi” because Kids At The Prom are, what, 16-18 years old?
Feminists are, generally, angry people.
Like Leftists (most feminists are), they would like you to be as miserable as they are.
(That’s what Barack’s redistributive “change” is all about, what Winston Churchill called “the equal sharing of the misery”.)
A romantic, happy female shouldn’t be the least bit intimidated by feminists and feminist dogma.
I hope this helps.
I don’t think women are intimidated by them, we just don’t engage them. Usually, I just roll my eyes and move on. However, I think it’s time we fight back.
Well, the author said some women (“feminist shrews”) ruin things for other women.
That should not be so. Women shouldn’t give a rats ass what feminists (most anyway) are saying or thinking or how they’re reacting to whatever.
Ignoring is the best way to “fight back”.
Ridicule isn’t bad, either.
(feminists continued to love Billy Clinton during Monicagate, he was just so “into” their issues. They also don’t vociferously condemn treatment of women in Islam, the whole “multicultural” thing precludes that. They’re, generally, intellectually bereft and follow lockstep tenets of their religion of feminism)
I disagree. “Ignoring” has allowed Feminists to create a society openly hostile to men.
Ridicule is good. Standing up to their bigotry is good too.
“Good” women have been criminally negligent in allowing man-haters free reign in society.
I don’t believe I live in a society “hostile to men”.
(maybe some men have become fearful of women ?)
I don’t get your other observation either…”…the Right’s continued insistence that men sacrifice and die for women and continued ignorance of what a disaster marriage is for men.”
Big generalizations, & not the way I see things. So I guess it’s all about perspective.
tanstaffl,you do, whether you know it or not. It’s in our laws, our entertainment, and our commercials. It’s even in our chidren’s books. (See Bears, Berenstain, et al).
And if you ever find yourself in divorce court, you will experience it first hand, with vigor.
Yep. While we were ignoring them they took over our schools and colleges. When I first heard the phrase “politically correct” I thought it was some kind of satire. Nope, the whole Orwellian scheme was cooked up in the universities while the rest of us were getting on with our lives.
Women do not wear labels. We can’t sort out ahead of time the shrews who are looking for a chance to put us in jail from the decent women who will react appropriately to our advances. Eventually male behavior shifts and women are left with the consequences of the choices of the sisterhood.
Real men don’t shift their behavior to suit women. They are proud, capable, virtuous and strong regardless of who’s in the room. If they find a woman who appreciates that, they’ll naturally walk through fire to protect and serve her. If they come across a woman who looks down on them for who they are, they simply ignore her like they would any other yappy ankle-biter.
Yes. Really fight back. Please. I beg you.
Why are marriage rates dropping? Divorce court banditry. Why are men backing away from women in general? Things like “morning after regret” becoming a rape charge. Things like men not picking up on a woman changing her mind fast enough and getting charged with stalking. Things like “sexual harassment” charges against men are always true.
Fight back? Against a kiss?
“Fight back? Against a kiss?”
Yes….
The Word “fight” can simply mean a look followed by “are you f*cking KIDDING me?” to make your point.
If you want to “make the move”, it obligatory to make eye contact and pause long enogh to “project intent” so the recipient can turn away if they desire. Its called having a clue, and behaving appropriately.
Honest Mistakes in timing or misread signals should of course be forgiven, but no man has a “right” to plant his mouth onto a woman mouth “just because” and expect them to “get over it” because “come on, the first ones free”
Its just plain rude to expect to behave that way, and if you dont get that, its probably WHY youre not getting LAID as often as you’d like.
I hear you, but I think the photo is iconic because it captures the spirit of the day. The entire nation had been mobilized for war. Everyone knew someone who was fighting, injured or dead. Victory was in NO WAY preordained. At many points in the war, it looked like defeat was near. They had gone through the uncertainties and dread of D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge.
Finally, there was victory. Closure. There was a national sigh of relief that the looming threat had ended. Look at it in terms of what the entire populace had been experiencing and fearing up to that point. It was a collective release, the kind that is unimaginable in the country today.
America willingly operated as one organic unit to win WWII, and the relief upon victory was stupendous. It was a different time, and things have changed on many levels. That’s how I see the photo, as an historic statement of the end of a grueling war, and perhaps even the end of a period of innocence before harassment and PC became the order of the day.
Well, now don’t we all know better, now that we’ve been enlightened. Don’t get me wrong, progress is a good thing. But I also have daughters, and I want them to love and appreciate men, as well as confront them when necessary. They can defend themselves, but they’re not looking for reasons to kung-fu the next hapless chap that crosses their path.
Amelia, the feminists have also done themselves a disservice by giving strong, independent women a platform on precisely WHY they are dead wrong. Sandra Fluke was astro-turfed just as my daughter was about to graduate college. Unprovoked, my daughter called me and said “mom, there’s a 30 y/o woman in college that wants to force other people to pay for her birth control? Well, she wasn’t lucky enough to have a mom that reinforced in me that given the requisite amount of effort, I’ll not need to force, nor ask, for anyone to pay for any of my sustenance, but me”. A very proud day for me, indeed.
Hear, hear Amelia! If nothing else, lets stop the male bashing. Let men and boys be men and boys. Stop forcing them to play with dolls and wear pink! Instead, let us embrace humanity, yes, every person, with kindness and an understanding that differences are what make this world interesting. I love romance and my husband and my sons and I will work diligently to conserve the dignity of my life and theirs.
Unfortunately, Feminism is alive and well on the Right as evidence of the Right’s continued insistence that men sacrifice and die for women and continued ignorance of what a disaster marriage is for men.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
Women (bad, annoying women, I mean) are a pain to be around. They are never happy. Everything must be made to their liking, which shifts in the breeze. When this woman is Catherine Denueve, this behavior is rewarded, in the extreme. When she looks like Cathy Bates, she can pound sand.
Good women, on the other hand, are who they are. My first wife was very beautiful, and very loving. She could be a problem (Prozac was her friend)but I know she always loved me. When she died at 43, I was really bereft. Where would I find another such?
I’ve now been married to her best friend for almost ten years. I hate to say, it is even better. She even gave me one of her kidneys last year. We finish each other’s sentences. We are as close to two becoming one as the world permits.
Ugly, bitter women have existed since the dawn of time. The same goes for ugly, bitter men. The problem is the same as all the other troubles we have nowadays: get the goddamned government out of it.
Life is conflict. Cops used to be able to tell the difference between a bitchy married couple and someone who would do real violence. The problem is too many cops and too many lawyers, butting into too many things they have no right to.
Go ahead, America. Keep picking that scab. For a bunch of dolts who constantly talk of love, liberals dom’t seem to have even the tiniest grasp of the concept.
That’s why they hate Jesus.
I am aware that many women make wonderful wives
I am referring to the colossal bias against men in divorce court and family court
If wifey ever gets a bug in her head to screw over her man he is basically doomed
You’re a blessed man indeed.
Not to diminish your points, but the police’s discretion has been taken away over the years due to the changes in the law. In some municipalities, if they are dipatched to a report of a domestic distrubrance, they’re pressured to make an arrest.
Completely agree the laws need to be revamped and not beholden to advocacy groups.
“Hello lady!”
You obviously don’t understand that men are for fighting and f*cking, and women are for managing civilization.
I’ve noticed that there is a paleo segment of the Right that seems to think that the traditional Western social contract between men and women is still in force. They expect men to continue upholding their responsibilities under that contract, while ignoring that by and large Western women have rejected theirs.
Romance is a Victorian invention that led to feminism, which in turn destroyed the family structure in the West.
Google “amour courtoise” and get some learnin’.
Actually, in Western society, the concept goes back to the Middle Ages and the troubadours.
Want family values back? Get rid of the notion of “love-based” “marriages” and return to the thousands of years old notion of arranged marriages. No more idiotic ideas of soul-mates and “true love”.
Discredit these ideas, and the basis for the misandrist (anti)family courts will go away.
The first step to the cure is the recognition of the disease.
…and return to the thousands of years old notion of arranged marriages.
Like those lucky Afghan girls, 16 & 17, that “get to” marry those gross old men ?
Recently in Saudi Arabia, a very young girl was sold by her parents to a guy 90 ! She actually fled back to her home on the marriage night and, oddly enough, hasn’t yet been put to death under shari’a “law”.
Anyway, romance is real, you can see areas of the brain light up on scans.
So there
You mean sexual attraction. The rest of the animal kingdom has it. There is nothing mystical about it.
The Victorians’ bridal mysticism is what turned brute lust into the fake idea of “romance”. It doesn’t make for actual marriages. And India is not Afghanistan.
A 50% divorce rate is a sign of a dying civilization.
“You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals,
So let’s do it like they do it on the Discovery Channel.”
Very attractive.
Is that you Marty Stouffer?
Dying character.
Sexual attraction is what makes you walk across the room to talk to her. Her personality, values, attitude, and compatibility are what make you marry her.
Mom was a bit of a bigger woman.
Probably wouldn’t have looked good in a G-string and high heels by todays standards.
When she was toothless, on a feeding tubeand unable to speak, and spent the last 4 years bed-ridden, dad kissed her every day and held her hand until she died.
No one “arranged” that before hand…heck any “arrangement” worth HAVING a contract over, would have spelled out some way of avoiding that whole thing. Who would ever sign-up for that if they were looking out for their OWN best interests?
But they were soul mates, and dad would never have been anywhere else because he LOVED her with all his heart. Their young romance blossomed into something more important than Blow-jobs and Bank Accounts.
The Wholeness, the Completeness, of a good Christian Life is whats missing these days.
Any wonder way we’re so unhappy, and so dissatisfied with EVERYTHING these days, even though we can have ANYTHING we imagine we want, all delivered by smiling Hedonistic Utopians, on endless debts and deficits?
Matt. 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
Eph. 5:25 “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it.”
Col. 3: 18-19 “18) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the lord. 19) Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.”
Romantic love exists. If you’ve never had that, you have my pity. Too many people get divorced. Selfishness is the root of all divorce.
The first and most important thing to finding love is to BE the right person. Respect and discipline yourself. Love and be obedient to God.
The second most important thing is to MARRY the right person, one who respects and disciplines him/herself and loves and is obedient to God.
Third, your spouse should be your treasure, not money or fame or reputation… when two people are committed to each other and to God and place the other’s happiness first, THAT is when love occurs. Absent this, love is a lie. Sadly, people sometimes hide their nature, and one person being committed is not enough to hold a relationship together. The selfishness of one can destroy the happiness of both.
16 and 17? Try 12 or 13. I’ve been there and dealt with Afghan men. Very few of the men were worth much. That’s why the women are so mistreated.
If women in the US think they’re mistreated by “rapey” men, I’d invite them to emigrate.
Self-styled “progressives” are the intellectual, political, and in some ways spiritual, heirs of the Puritans. Rule by a supposedly learned elite. Every aspect of life programmed by elaborate rules. Absorbed by intellectual ideas that obscure direct individual experience. Cf, David Hackett Fisher, Albion’s Seed, among others. And a decidedly Calvinist dim view of exuberant life and individual agency and initiative. That is one reason they are really regressives, not progressives.
The humorless feminist scold of today poses as the moral judge of all around her (or, more frequently these days, him.) To the extent they focus on the trivial and the nonsensical, in cases like a kis, or a commercial about a kiss, ignore them. Like dogs barking. To the extent they excuse the sexist behavior of the Bill Clintons of the world, out of loyalty to a political tribe, or the true anti-female depredations of other cultures (I’m looking at you, radical Islam,) out of obsession with condemning their own culture, they should be excoriated or ridiculed as the unserious hypocrites they can be.
Indeed. Contrary to what they said back in the ’60s, the Left has no particular love for civil liberties, nor do they object to authoritarian rule in principle. They only object when they aren’t in charge of it.
You would be well served by not making generalizations about liberals. If you are not one, then you have no idea how one would react.
Keep your generalizations to yourself, your ignorance is showing.
Unfortunatley, Bob, they have been giving us instruction for too long. We now know how they react. After all you don’t need to be a Rattlesnake to know they bite…
While generalizations don’t apply to every single member of a group, it isn’t as if we’ve had no exposure to liberals and what they believe. They control the major news media (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC), the major newspapers, the movie studios and most of education. Studies have proven that conservatives know what liberals actually believe far better than liberals understand conservatives.
Perhaps you should be careful of your own ignorance when blasting the ignorance of others.
How would we not know how liberals would react when they rule our grade schools, junior highs, high schools and colleges? We have all grown up conforming to their twisted world view.
You don’t have have to be liberal to know how one would react, just take common sense and turn it upside down, voila a liberal.
I’m going to direct you to the fable of the Frog and the Scorpion Bob.
Thats Funny Bob…
My dad was never a Nazi, a Commie, a Fascist, a Statist, a Liberal OR a Democrat…..
But, after being smart enough to defeat a few of them in Armed Combat, he was able to predict with uncanny ability, how every single one of the REST of them could be expected to think and behave, what (false, cover) positions they’d support and/or create to consolidate their power, and what the (always negative) effects would be on our finances, our culture and our future…
Amazing, you guys are SO CONSISTANT in what you do, yet you always claim to be “unpredictable” and we shouldn’t “judge” you ….
Maybe that’s because dad knew the ONE thing you were, that made you so EASY to figure out….
“Liars, son…they are liars….just assume they are lying ALL THE TIME, and the rest will be crystal clear…you’ll know what to do”
A lot of people who are against visual pornography are too chickensh1t to go after the real cause of the american family’s destruction… feminism.
Don’t believe me? India has a tiny 1% divorce rate. Family values in India is very strong…
And they worship giant stone penises in temples decorated with sex acts.

I hear suttee is making a comeback.
Indian civilization: it would be a good idea.
And they starve to death while cows walk free, and they rape women on busses with astonishing regularity…
The most successful method of civilization has long be proven…
We just have to stop making excuses for not go back to it, while wondering how everything lately is, well, shit.
It’s not so much that feminists have taken control of the accepted ‘norms’ in today’s society, it’s much more that they have the force of a pandering government and court system to back up their wayward agenda. Men still want to be men, but are beaten down by the powers that be.
Thank you for this article. On this issue, as on many, too many of us have been silent.
Each of us should speak up as often as possible, boldly and confidently, on important issues of truth. This exercises our intellectual muscles, our ethical spirits, and it encourages others who are too timid to also speak up.
Finally, it also serves to educate the mis-informed, of which there are many.
This has already been covered here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4zSRkBMPng
If “to ravish” means “to rape,” doesn’t “ravishing” then mean “raping”? As in: You’re looking rapin’ tonight, Julie.
I was in Jamaica recently and the most popular (it seemed) compliment was “you’re looking trash and ready tonight”. The women seemed to love it… Go figure…
You know what I miss? Wolf whistles. Little tributes to the pretty girl walking by. I’m pretty sure the hard core feministas never got one.
Cause? Meet Effect?
I whistle at my wife, tell her she’s beautiful, sexy, hot, gorgeous, pretty, or whatever compliment fits at the time quite frequently.
make no mistake about it, women (feminists) put our little kenyan into office, twice. you see, if you look under the skin of a hard core fem you will find somebody who really loves somebody else’s $$$, just like all progressives. you don’t see our little mexi-gunrunner spending $20 mil of his own $$ on a vacation, do you? look at the wife, rightly nicknamed the mooch. v.a.w.a., $$ into a rat hole (biden’s baby). never before has anybody but ron paul ever questioned the spending before, much less voted against it, pub or dem. and nobody knows where it goes. just about every gov handout program was designed for poor pitiful women victims. nada for men. any woman (or girl) can falsely claim rape, d.v. or molestation and if found out, pretty much walk away. ruin a man’s life (and his family), and walk away. often their name is even protected, because of their gender. the court system long ago fell prey to the $$ involved taking men to the cleaners. and who suffered? men and children, and in the end, women too w/ the eventual predictable destruction of the family.
if you don’t see what this bias against men has cost us, you are either in denial, stupid, or getting some free stuff out of it yourself. take your pick.
see, the thing is…
women have a problem with a guy kissing without asking IF IT’S THE WRONG GUY.
If it’s the right guy, they have no problem with him sweeping them off their feet, and maybe over the shoulder and taking them away from all this…
HeatherRadish above, and many of the people who hated that Audi commercial would have NO problem if the guy was Ryan Gossling, or Brad Pitt, or Erol Flynne.
But then, that’s part of the deal… it’s exciting for them if you don’t care what they think, because you are a man of action… blah, blah, teleblah.
except real life isn’t a fantasy, and they’ll prolly call the cops in the moring, because while they liked it in situ, later, they are going to have to re-assert their control.
Which is why, they can’t always get what they want, because it’s two contradictory things. The previously mentioned ‘crazy’.
On the upside, as I get older, I care less… but it’s sad to think that my son has learned so much from me, that he too, only sees people who manipulate for personal game, and so he’ll prolly miss any chance of meeting someone worth the effort. They are out there, but hard to find.
…and there is always the chance that the one you find is really good at lying.
Hon, it’s too late. Political correctness has taken such a deep root in our society that it doesn’t matter what it done. Until we can eliminate the hypocrisy that is PC, things will only get worse.
If you don’t understand the difference between being ravished and being raped, there isn’t much of a chance you’ll understand anything.
Most women aren’t hostile to sex or sexy men. They’re hostile to being used.
Please don’t waste your time and energy responding to Jim Harrishmuck a.k.a. Jim Hitlerson. He has venomous opinions on every topic, even ones he knows nothing about. He is simply too ignorant to understand how ignorant he is. However, he thinks he knows everything about everything and thinks he has the solution to all of the world’s problems. The guy is what Thomas Sowell might call a self-anointed messiah. He believes that civilized and successful people and countries are intrinsically evil and he has a vicious hatred of Jews and of Israel. His posts are often incoherent ramblings. He evades questions, he tells outright lies and he throws tantrums. Please don’t waste your time and energy on this immature, malignant, narcissistic, attention-starved, anti-Semitic demagogue.
I was married for 30 years. I will never be married again. My divorce is almost final. I was married to a feminist. One that had the choice to stay home and allowed me to work the 2 jobs so she could raise the children. Then when the children were in school, she went back to college. Then she graduated and decided she wanted two more children. Those boys are grown and she decided I wasn’t the man for her.
I was happy to pay for her Associates, Bachelors and Masters. I was happy to help raise my children and slow my career so she could finish faster. when she took her CPA exam I was the one driving because it snowed that day.
I will never trust another woman. I will be on my own in about 30 to 45 days, and I am extremely happy. I gave, and gave and gave.
The way I see it, men share a large part of the blame for the rise of these man hating feminists. Just because they exist doesn’t allow the excuse for men to become wimps. We need to start teaching our sons to toughen up too. Being chivalrous doesn’t mean being a doormat. And these male feminists? Good grief – scorn those bastards and treat them like rabid dogs or punching bags. They are a disgrace and deserve to be stomped into the dust. I have as much use for them as I do an Obama groupie.
These nags use the term ‘misogynistic’ like black race hustlers use the word ‘racist.’ Tell these shrews to pound sand and kiss your _ss the next time they start up with that crap. And start standing up for each other. You see one of these goons hauling your buddy’s butt up to H.R. under threat based on some lie, you follow them up the stairs to file complaint against her libel and mean it.
We could end this crap tomorrow if we would wise up, man haters notwithstanding.
Tex you make a good point. We need to teach our sons and brothers how to deal with this and most importantly not to be doormats.
You are so right. As a mom, I’ve taught my sons to flee from any female who says “I’m offended” or any of the other PC phrases that really mean “Shut up and do things my way.” I also call out other women for their man-bashing, especially the ones with brothers, husbands or sons. Sometimes I think most of the people in this country are running their mouths without a thought in their head as to what they’re saying – just a bunch of mindless parrots.
This is pretty much the way I see it, too. Feminists aren’t so much the problem in that that they are acting according to their perception of their self-interest. I disagree with them, but don’t resent them. The so-called beta males, or metrosexuals or as I prefer to think of them, the Esaus, are the ones we need to focus on. I think of them as Esaus (although I’m not terribly religious, but respect the biblical tradition as accumulated wisdom re. human nature) because Esau sold his birthright for temporary visceral satisfaction, which is exactly what the metros have done. Like frogs colluding with the Nazis, they sell out their manhood for the illusion of acceptance and companionship by the feminists.
A good chunk of the “wised up” are in jail or completely, utterly, court-enforced broke.
The rest REALLY wised up and quit doing that – the laws on the books completely favor women and liars (and most especially lying women).
If we could get enough people to “wise up” and get those laws changed, sure. Until then, doing as you suggest is great way to ruin your life.
There’s millions of good women out there that are single and actually like men – I married one. You cheat yourself by resigning and running instead of changing the system and smacking the ass of these bulbous faced, Sandra Fluke hacks and feckless eunuchs causing the problem. If you don’t like being married, that’s one thing. But most men do. It’s innate for most of us.
So…
This pains me to point out the obvious for fear of being misinterpreted by the lowlifes that occasionally man these boards. But come on, boys. You’re men. If men were half as adamant about changing the rigged divorce court game as they were defending their 2nd Amendment rights, this wouldn’t be an issue for long. When did we get in our minds that misandrists were going to make our lives miserable while we whimper?
Let me make a suggested for those of you spurned and screwed. You didn’t band together. This little feminist movement has many tentacles – the divorce courts are one, many manned by man haters in robes and pansy males trying to endear themselves to the shrews. Little march on the courthouse from about a thousand enraged and screwed fathers would do wonders. We never see that. Why?
Here’s one thing women do better than men in America: and American males better learn straight up and quick. Pack mentality. It’s against our nature and we better learn to adapt.
We’ve got the ultimate advantage if we would think straight. And everyone, kids included, would be better off ultimately – even females, if we ran these limp wrists and misandrists to the curb where they belong.
Thank you Tex! Words of wisdom, indeed.
I have a good friend who is going through hell in court (very long story!) and his court appearances are picketed by the likes of NOW and other women’s groups. Where are the men’s groups supporting him? Non-existent as far as I know. If someone would care to enlighten me I’d appreciate it.
what a feminist wants
and they all want
is to be michelle obama now
a woman who prefers
depending on government
not on a man
During my college days the first glimmer of the “every man is a potential rapist” on campus movement got started.
And when my daughters were about 12 and 14 years old, Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson’s floppy old boob during the Super Bowl half-time show, thus modeling in front of an inconceivably huge television audience of boys and young men, the exact kind of “rapey” behavior that a father might worry about when his daughters go off to school. And the feminists said NOT ONE GODDAMN WORD because it was tweaking the bluenoses and the Christianists and the FCC run by same. It was good rapey behavior.
Of course my daughters went to Texas A&M. There isn’t much rapey behavior there, but a fair number of honorable young men.
That was my biggest complaint about what happened,
and the artificial “so what, its a human breast” response…
It wasnt the “nudity” that was innapropriate…
It was the edgy “rough sex” nature of it.
Intentional, premeditated, agressive, angry “slap that azzz” lustfulness.
Porn, S&M, rough, fetish-like kinky adult themes have their appropriate places.
I dont have a problem with them at all.
But to broadcast them on a PUBLIC TV STATION during the “family hour, on a Sunday, was INTENTIONALLY rude.
It was no “malfunction”. It was a deliberate finger in the eye of Family Oriented Conservatives by “the cool people” who must perpetually taunt and humiliate others to satisfy themselves.
This is going to turn into one of those alpha game web sites isn’t it?
I like girls. At least one liked me, so I’m fine. She isnt much like the girls described on the alpha game sites, thank god because i could never cope with a human female based on everything i’ve read. rabbit girls for me.
I disagree that women want beta males to “man up” and that they want alpha males. I don’t think most would recognize a real alpha if they met one. That’s not necessary their fault since our culture presents the narcissist psychopath user/abuser type as an alpha male but they aren’t: they are predators. Our culture says that if a male is tall, loud, obnoxious, condescending, bullying and perhaps violent, that this is the hottie to fight over. That’s not an alpha male though, just a douchebag. Think of Penny’s ex from the first season of Big Bang Theory.
I also think women will take a beta male, defined as, well, Leonard or Howard from Big Bang Theory. Short, skinny, smart, not much confidence but a decent paycheck. Often times they can be easily manipulated emotionally and with sex and won’t resist for fear of losing access to said sex and the culture meme of “being alone is bad.” Meanwhile, she can keep her options open in case something better happens by.
Lastly, there is a book called “The Manipulated Man” by Esther Villar. It was written as a counter to modern feminism and explains the plight of modern men. Let’s just say it got her in a LOT of hot water. While I think things have changed somewhat since it was written, a lot of it still holds true.
Yes I agree it is much more complicated then is often portrayed
We are not monkeys so our alphas betas deltas and omegas prove themselves very differently
“I disagree that women want beta males to “man up” and that they want alpha males. I don’t think most would recognize a real alpha if they met one.”
Read the Married Man Sex Life Primer. Men have alpha AND beta traits. The goal is finding the right balance for the woman you’re with. And you’ve to be careful when using the alpha/beta language because it can mean different things. In the grand context it typically translates to having status. Alpha males are the apex men of a certain demographic. Alpha characteristics are different, and pretty well documented. Just read the book. The author explains all this in far greater detail.
Yup. Second the book recommendation. And the website http://marriedmansexlife.com/ Lots of good common sense advice.
And why do I care?
I think one major problem our society faces is all the women teaching in out primary and secondary schools.
Boys and girls are fundamentally different. Boys are rambunctious, girls are compliant.
Teachers – mostly women – in current America value girls over boys. Since we have fill-in-the-circle standardized testing as the vogue (thank you, Teddy Kennedy and George W. Bush, burn in hell at least one of you), the focus in teaching is to the test. Girls do well on this by default, and boys have to be medicated to function in this mode. Forgive me, but I think something is wrong with our education system, when half the participants have to be medicated to, well, participate.
Anyway, that’s where it starts: female teachers demanding female standards on non-females, resulting in early chemical castration.
Why are there no male teachers to intervene? Well, because men are rapey.
And, in the immortal words of Linda Ellerbee, so it goes.
Until, you know, the barbarian comes riding over the hill, bearing real coffee, red meat, and tobacco. At which point, the local mettle destroyed, American women will couple with the barbarians, to fill the country with barbarian bastards. And get into their burkas. And start whining. Again.
And so it goes.
Patrick, perhaps it’s less about the predominance of women as teachers, particularly in primary school, than that there may be a far stronger case for single sex education than is generally admitted?
I went to a boys only primary school that had only female teachers. We were boys, they were firm, scared the @#$% out of us, nobody dared cause trouble in class. Big classes, up to 40 boys in one classroom in two grades. One side reading or writing for a half hour while she taught the other, then we’d flip.
I cannot imagine a modern teacher being capable of a comparable performance.
That’s a great comment!
I went through all-boy schools for most of primary school, and all of secondary school. If boys are going to (a) be boys and (b) go through puberty, best they do it while securely locked up. ;^)
It’s not men vs. women that is screwing up our society but good vs. evil with the law now squarely on the side of evil.
Think about this: Larry Flynt and Gloria Steinem support the same candidates.
Larry Flynt once showed up in my former hometown. He got shot like a dog for his trouble.
But if Gloria Steinem showed up in your hometown in the 1960s, ’70s, or even ’80s your menfolk would not have said a bullet will fix her but a good lay will fix her.
And now you know why feminism’s Gloria leader is stepping on your necks, boys.
Rapey?? Another of my favorite words is “creepy”!! What exactly does that word mean? Once defined can the person using it defend its use? The answer is no, it’s just passive aggressive. Maybe the best reply is, “I’m not a bit surprised you’d think that!” (Curtsy of Chris Hitchens)
This has been going on for a long time. Remember some years back the movie “The Piano”? Remember when the woman was playing the piano and that she had a hole in her stocking and Harvey Keitel put his finger in the hole, actually, OMG, touching her flesh? Discussing this in a mixed group later the women thought it was sooooo romantic but the men thought even then that it could just as well turn out that he had put his finger into the pickle slicer.
“Creepy” is in fact synonymous with “awkward”. It’s always been a huge trigger word for me, but realizing its true meaning is helping me get over it. Now when a chick calls me a creep, I call her a stupid slut. It’s beautiful.
“Creep” now has the same meaning as “racist”; it’s a word that political-correctness enforcers used to describe anything they don’t like.
Sarah Palin is extremely attractive to alpha males. She married one, too. Sarah terrified the feminazies, and their little lap-dog beta males squeaked right up.
A misogynist is anyone who hates women as much as the Left hates conservative women
It absolutely amazes me how Palin gets such a nasty reaction from the left, especially liberal women. When I point out that I admire her they look at me like I’m on drugs or something…
She’s amazing and I hope one day I can vote for her again!
The Left detests women like Sarah Palin who didn’t attend Sarah Lawrence, like men and don’t see themselves as victims.
Indeed. I saw a Palin “read my lipstick” bumper sticker yesterday . . .
Sexual harassment comes in two forms. First is what used to be called “courtship”, and it’s still called that when it comes from an attractive man. Second is “teasing”, which men do to each other all the time. Women said they wanted to be treated exactly like men, and men took them at their word.
Women in the office are like Stasi agents in East Germany. A man mustn’t talk about anything not pertaining to work, not even to other men, because a woman might overhear and report it. The old camaraderie is gone. To get away from this dreary existence, the most capable men quit and start their own businesses, and the office turns into a safe but not very productive henhouse.
Tips to avoid a sexual harassment charge: Be Handsome / Be Attractive / Don’t Be Unattractive
I showed that video to the guys at work. They thought it was hilarious.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBVuAGFcGKY
I’ve noticed that being sexually aggressive is far more attractive to women on a visceral level, but the fact that any move made by a male *is* sexual assault in western countries if you throw the book at it, still deters me from making any moves while in the anglosphere. Luckily, I have more time to study. Hopefully I can make enough money to travel to where women aren’t afraid of their own vaginas and our penises. And hopefully she won’t be poisoned when I bring her home.
Come out West and go to any small town.
The feminist minority might want Ashley Wilkes, . . .
IMO they actually want Scarlett, or perhaps Belle. Scratch a true feminist, and you’re 99% certain to find a lesbian underneath. That is the basis of their gynocentrism (thanks, TMG) and misandry, and their zeal to impose the same on society at gunpoint via government.
And I’m sure poor Ashley wouldn’t be good enough for today’s “liberated” heterosexual woman either–he believed in that chivalry thing, you know, and he exhibited patriarchal behavior as a heroic soldier.
Frank Kennedy might stand a chance today, since his wallet was pretty big, and he could be told to go sit in a corner. But then, he also knew how to use a gun….
I totally agree. And if not born lesbian, they become lesbian because they are unattractive to men and are,angry about it. In fact, (major generalization coming) I have always thought that the Leftist way of looking at the world begins in a person because he/she feels rejected by society, much of the rejection based of physical unattractiveness.
Sex is not sin. Hubby and me have an open marriage which has really helped are relationship. We are both obese and have body image issues but we do not judge eachother becuase of are shortcummings. Rapey is a juvynile word tho.
Without a sigh, a brave man, his sword draws,
Without a woman, only his country’s cause,
Then goes home victorious, then with pause,
At court, labeled a stalker, by a woman’s claws.
How did this happen in the land of the brave?
Ah, schools hate the brave! So, don’t be knave!
They teach fear on top of fear on top of fear,
And fear makes hate, ergo court dates near.
People of fear mongering love to mire in it,
The rest who see fear mongering sure tire of it,
But the Mandarins of fear mongering, they sire it,
We can’t fire them, so I fear of fear: none can fire it!
As to the iconic picture at the top: the country was weary from an all-out global war for four long years. Hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, sailors and marines were dead. Finally facing a fanatical suicidal culture that would cost a projected million more casualties before it ended. Then came the news of the Japanese surrender, unconditionally. No more mayhem, destruction and death.
No reason to celebrate. No reason to be dancing in the streets. No, don’t kiss that nurse.
Insanity.
Exactly. It was only one of the most exceptional days in American history, and I’m sure there were people out in public doing a lot more than just kissing that day. My generation (I’m an X’er) has never experienced any day like it.
Dan,
I agree to a point, but no matter how “happy” you are, their are limits.
My Mom was in High School on V-J day. (she graduated June ’45 VJ day was in August) Dad was at sea. She went out to “celebrate” with her girlfriends and had to literally fight her way out of being “abducted” several times by groups of “home on leave” soldiers and sailors who carried the celebration a little too far….
She was happy to hug a soldier that day, because her Boyfriend was coming home, along with her 3 brothers and 4 future brother-in-laws
But some guys got carried away, and that “thank you, god bless you” kiss became and excuse to drag her into a car and start pulling at her clothes.
If you look that nurse, she’s not enjoying it one bit, she’s being mauled, off balance, bent over backward…yeah, it was a happy day, but it was still 1945….
High school girls didnt “put out”, nobody swore in the movies, porn was NON EXISTANT and guys died in combat virgins at 23 years old…the only tits they MIGHT have ever seen before shipping out were Native Tribal women National Geographic Magazine….
That shot makes a great iconic photo of “national proportions” that captured the ‘emotion of the moment” but I can guarantee you it was a rude, embarassing and frightening event for that nurse to man handled like that, by a drunken stranger.
Feminists should take up therapy where they dress up like ’60s Playboy bunnies, just to see what it’s like. Kinda like people who have clownophobia are introduced to a clown.
Gloria Steinem and Barbara Walters both tried it.
Can’t say dressing up as Playboy bunnies did anything for them.
Gloria and BaBa WaWa dressing up as bunnies didn’t do damned thing for me either. Nothing positive, at any rate.
Phew. I’m scarred for life.
I like the scene from the movie PCU where the Womynist says “You mean if you’re nice to them they get you stuff?”
I grew up in a time and location when women worked as hard as men from well before sunup to well after sundown. Women who had as many calluses and blisters on their hands as did the men. The young were well trained in both capacities of hard work and socialization skills. Socialization standards and skills that were founded around the differences of gender in a female/male role. Rare was the occasion when courting and dating was done outside the view of the public and generally at organized social functions. Children lived in a solid family unit that extended to the entire community who accepted parenting and discipline standards for all the children of the community. A time when each gender enjoyed quite a different kind of respect for each other.
The gender changes began in the late 40s forward as more and more kids of both genders began to go to college and become a part of the new transient trend. A trend that systemically began the consolidation and urbanization of society around the nation’s larger industrial centers. Women had gained industrial and business work experience during WWII and was a real value to the new industrial revolution taking place. It was also the trend that began breaking down the family and community unitization that all previous generations had lived within. It was also the trend that found women disadvantaged in equal pay for equal work and equal employment opportunity, especially if engaged, married or with family. It was also the trend that gave way to more and more divorce statistics and legal proceedings forming new philosophical applications of law.
Then, during the 60s came the women’s liberation movements. During this time, there were two completely different movements taking place. One was the sexual revolution being waged by the young women and men of the flower child movement and the other was one of women’s work and workplace equality liberation. Eventually, the two movements somehow became consolidated and continues on through the present. Like most movements, they wither and die but for the involvement of profit seeking lawyers who perpetuate a movement for as long as there is profit to be milked from it through the courts and on retainer fees. They have NO regards for any long term outcomes on society be they positive or negative – just their wallets!
Bottomline! We have become a consolidated, urbanized society that is no longer family or community unitized and is shaped by activists, their lawyers and the courts – an individualist society. As a result, the nation has seen several decades of socialization evolution that has been anything but positive for either gender. Individualization alone, destroys a common respect for each other of any gender. Urbanization destroys young people’s opportunities for hard work and responsibility and a positive community family of social mentorship. Lastly, the long decades of evolution has produced parents who fail their parenting responsibilities and thus, the circle of failed values continues as does the effects upon our society. Today our society is taught that the center of the universe for which all must strive for is the almighty dollar and ‘whatever’ it takes and however immoral it might be, that’s what you do to gain it. There are NO social standards!
Per captia crime across all crime classes and across all socio-economic lines at record highs. Women and men voluntarily entering the pornography industry in record numbers. Men and women voluntarily entering prostitution at record highs. Mental health numbers at a record high across all socio-economic lines. A constitution that protects all ‘individual’ freedoms with equality that’s still being sorted out by most citizens of today.
Personally, I don’t view the courts and or the government, as having ANY role in Americas socialization decline. I view it as a decline that originates with particular generations of the people failing their individual freedom responsibilities. Free people seemingly, from a historical perspective, always eventually, become their own worst enemy and destructive of their freedoms!
And it is all facilitated by rampant, almost universal, drug and alcohol abuse.
You know who are the creeps who randomly grab and kiss women? Beta castrated males who were educated as feminists, that’s who.
Because they have no earthly idea how a man SHOULD approach a woman he likes, having been told that all courting whatever is “rapey” and “sexual assault” and “violating the dignity of the female body” and “no means NO” and so on. So they see no difference between — for example — buying a woman a drink in an appropriate way and grabbing and kissing her out of the blue. They don’t mean to rape. They just don’t know what the heck they’re doing.
Real-life example: in a recent sci-fi convention, a young woman was freaked out when, at two AM alone in an elevator with a young geeky man, he suddenly turned to her and said that he was following her all day and he’s very attracted to her. Can’t blame her for being freaked out, right?
Only… the man was not some would-be rapist. He was a shy geek with no experience whatever with women, and simply had NO IDEA how to approach her when anybody else was around. So, in his naivetee, he figured that since the only way to be alone with her and confess his, er, love is in the elevator at 2 AM, so be it.
I mean, it always works in sci-fi novels when the hero and heroine finally find a quiet launch pad aboard the crowded spaceship, or something.
Men, calm yourselves. The problem is readily solved.
Marry a woman from Japan, China or elsewhere in East Asia.
She’ll instinctively know how to be feminine.
And in the event that she forgets, you won’t have a clue as to what she’s yapping about, anyway.
Mirabile dictu, the problem is solved.
My uncle did this. Turns out her ‘little sister’ was really her daughter! Hello step dad!
“Mirabile *auditu*”?
Hey, Women are just wired differently than men…
… and they’re not up to code.
How many of you are old enough to remember when feminists cried “mini rape!” if a man looked at a woman? Or remember the hostility of feminists to the “male gaze”?
Women ruining everything for women has been going on longer than Amelia Hamilton has been alive.
It’s one thing to be bold and daring, it’s another not to care if the person you are about to kiss appreciates this idea at all or not, to the point of not letting her the time to say no. And the latter surely qualifies for assault, because it deprives the kiss from mutual consent. That’s why VJ’s kiss is an assault: read how the girl lived it and you will understand.
As someone who’s had to deal with sexual molestation as a young girl and creepy sexual advances and groping as a young woman, I have to say that while the Audi commercial was clever and fun, the reality of being kissed by someone you don’t wish to be kissed by is disturbing with a capital D.
And that’s what lines not to be crossed are for.
A guy tries to steal a kiss at a party and the girl doesn’t want him to and lets him know — maybe even embarrasses him a little — no real harm is done an all came laugh about it later.
A guy starts groping a girl who clearly does not want his attention he starts committing a crime.
To illustrate, look at where that sailor’s hands are in that picture. Everybody is having fun and no harm is being done.
Good point, Bill, but the lines are very blurry to many men I have had to deal with, and many men simply don’t take no for an answer.
And that’s why I won’t blame the feminists for everything.
“The lines are very blurry…”
Jmarie, that’s exactly the problem. To one woman, you’re a creep if you make a move on her. To the next woman, you’re a creep if you don’t make a move on her. To a third woman, you’re a creep if you’re within her eyesight. Since being a creep is socially unacceptable and in some cases illegal, and there is no way of knowing if you’re being a creep until after the fact, the risk is both extreme and unqualifiable. The only sensible thing to do with such a risk is avoid it. We used to have social conventions that helped with this kind of problem, but those were discarded at the insistence of the feminists.
As a middle-aged, Southern white man, I am already Public Enemy #1 in the eyes of a lot of women, particularly younger ones. I’m a ballroom dancer, and it’s often the case that there are more women than men at a ballroom dancing venue. But I have to be careful which women I ask for a dance, and so do a lot of the other men. We are aware that this makes some of the women unhappy because they get few dances, but they have not demonstrated to us that they are safe to dance with.
Cousin Dave, I realize how difficult it is to know how to act when the rules are subjective.
My point is that the men who won’t take no for an answer and won’t keep their hands to themselves have ruined it for gentlemen like you.
Seriously?
His arm is wrapped around her HEAD…she’s nearly falling down, bent over backwards…look at her feet, does that look “comfortable” or “startled”, is she being “graceful” or is she “struggling”
Fun?
He only got away with it because of the tumultuous atmosphere.
Like the Jerks who take the bead-giving traditions at Mardi Gras WAY too far to support their pathetic groping and fondling, this sailor is a drunken PIG abusing women who dont appeciate him exploiting the atmosphere for his heavy-handedness…
My mom was a highschool senior in Kearny New Jersey celebrating not far from times square on V-J day…some of it was “fun” and some of it was downright awful/scarry/digusting, depending on the intent of the guys.
Some guys are were decent. Some guys were pigs.
“closest thing I ever came to being raped happened on VJ day”
That picture shows the king of guy who’d have done it, if he thought he could get away with it.
It’s a dip. Common move in the dance styles of the day.
At least three different women have come forth claiming to be the nurse with the late Edith Shain probably being the most famous.
None of them have objected to having been kissed like that.
Good reason for women to be armed and trained in combat skills.
Further thoughts much too long for a comment can be found here.
“Why would I save a world I no longer have any stake in?”

Also women need to realize that the difference between creepy and flirty tends to be how hot they find the guy, and stop calling unattractive guys creeps for doing the same things they swoon for with hot guys.
You’re making assumptions about what women think constitutes a creep. There are good looking creeps. They’re still creeps. The good looking ones just have better odds of getting closer.
This:
and this:
are not in disagreement with each other. The problem is not who IS a “creep”, it’s who women CALL a “creep”.
And yes, women CALL unattractive guys “creeps” for doing the same things they swoon for with hot guys. And yes, they also tend NOT to call a creep a creep if he’s good looking.
The definition of “creep” does not include attractiveness, but the application of the term by women very very much does (the vast majority of the time).
IOW, there are a lot of guys who are called creeps but aren’t.
You forgot rich (and/or famous). If a woman knows a guy is rich they can get away with stuff that a less financially well off man would be railroaded for.
“If a woman knows a guy is rich they can get away with stuff that a less financially well off man would be railroaded for.”
Not by women who judge men by character and behavior…there are still some of us left, you know.
I can see why the modern day feminists are bitter and want to ruin it for everyone else- after all, the odds of a man wanting to actual spontaneously kiss a modern day feminist is so small that it no doubt leads to resentment.
I could give a long, well thought out comment about this subject, but loads of others on both sides of the issue have already done that. So let me just say this in response to Amelia’s article:
AMEN, sister!
Another woman telling men what to do. Yawn. I have had enough.
Feminism is supposed to be liberating for men too. The real irony is that it is indeed liberating for men: it frees them from centuries of unwanted responsibilities.
Just remember, all of you who were lonely on Valentine’s Day, its not all its cracked up to be….
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2279215/Atlanta-woman-spend-life-bars-hiring-gym-instructor-Mr-Results-murder-fifth-husband–luring-death-romantic-Valentines-Day-tryst.html
You know what’s funny? I used to do both residential and commercial construction (high steel) at times in my life. Despite being dirty and a bit smelly women were often very interested in me. My girlfriend at the time thought it was really sexy when I came home from work. My wife loves when I work around the house doing “manly” stuff. Women don’t want “beta-males”, but they are bound and determined to castrate the male population.
When I was younger (and didn’t have much to lose in the way of material wealth) I didn’t hestitate to tell a woman that I thought she was attractive or looked especially nice that day. Now I wouldn’t think of doing so for fear of losing my job and being sued for sexual harrassment.
Women are often very turned on by the sweaty smell of men they are attracted to.
True. This is why I dislike cologne, it masks natural chemistry.
It’s ironic that urban American women have allowed themselves, like blacks and hispanics, to be captured by cultural marxism, the narrative of oppression and liberation. My observation is that feminists are an unhappy group, whereas nonfeminist women tend to be much happier. That’s a big generalization, but true on average. Today’s girls are bring taught to be unhappy, and to recycle. It’s even worse abroad.
“…feminists are an unhappy group, whereas nonfeminist women tend to be much happier…”
That’s been my observation too, for many years. Feminists are guilty of a lot of self-inflicted misery, which they also inflict upon others.
I don’t think feminists are making men beta. I think there were already a lot of incipient betas out there, repressing their wussy instincts just so they could get laid, until feminists gave them permission to release their inner Ashley Wilkes.
SAY IT OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS COLUMN!!!!!!!!!!
Amen! As a woman who has spent more than 30 years working in a male dominated technical field this column is right on! Women are the biggest sexists on the planet. I can count on three fingers of one hand the number of men who have given me a hard time and they were jerks to the men, too. But women? I could tell you horror stories about how I was treated by other women.
I called my son yesterday and as we spoke he was sorting through my four y/o grandson’s preschool papers. He exclaimed in disgust, I asked him what was wrong and he told me he was looking at a school handout that renamed February 14 as “Friendship & Affection Day”. You know the jackboots in the PC Police are out of control when they target something as innocuous as Valentine’s Day.
The decommissioned Midway aircraft carrier has been turned into a floating WWII museum on the waterfront here in San Diego. I took my 13 y/o grandson (our family is blessed with boy grandchildren) to visit it recently and we were charmed and intrigued to see the museum had installed a huge statue of the iconic sailor-kissing-a-nurse image in the park area in front of the carrier. My grandson asked me about it and I told him the story. He seemed to find it interesting and I’m confident he was not harmed in any way. I certainly didn’t feel obliged to steer him away, as I do when I take him to the mall and try to avoid the Victoria’s Secret shop window displays.
I visited there last year… the Midway is awesome, and the statue captures V-J Day perfectly.
Sadly there is a tipping point in which all balance and sense are lost. I saw this in book publishing in New York. Women — almost all of them of a certain feminist aesthetic — lost their common sense and their imaginations and their curiousity as they came to dominate the editorial process. It all got so boring. I don’t even want to imagine what it is like now with the metrosexual president. And yes, the men played along — if they wanted to get on. Feminism is toxin to everyone involved — men and women. Because so many of my female colleagues were something less than happy — and therefore all the more militant. Intelligence and talent — and there was that aplenty — simply are no match for ideology. I look forward to the financial collapse of the higher educational system. It is our only hope.
Ah, another self-hating female. Sad.
Another cliche’ spewer.
How sad.
Here’s an experiment for the guys to try.
Walk into work tomorrow, storm up to the most beautiful girl in the office and physically force her to kiss you.
We can discuss the results tomorrow. Let’s see how that confidence and romance thing works in practice. Anyone with an expensive german car – I’m particularly keen to hear how it works out for you.
You mean a humorous superbowl commercial is not actually realistic? I’m shocked, I’m telling ya, SHOCKED.
A war in which 300,000+ Americans died ends, and a man who might have joined the dead grabs a random woman for a kiss – a woman whose father, brothers, cousins, nephews, sweethearts might also have faced death.
Two people enjoying a kiss to celebrate the end of an unprecedented slaughter, in 1945.
Please get a bit of perspective.
I live and work in China currently. Did you know it’s actually possible to work with and even converse with women here without wondering when the hammer’s going to fall? I know, I was shocked too.
Bravery, wins.
Who dares, wins.
But in this day and age, who wants to hear from the Artists Rifles?
The ‘Western Woman’ is the curse of mankind. No good can come having any sort of relationship with ‘her’.
It’s really quite simple. As women as a class rise in the world, the number of men of higher status and greater incomes at their level or above them diminishes. As the likelihood rises that they will never find a man to look up to, they all ask: Where have all the good men gone? In fact, the higher a women rises in terms of income and status, the more she faces the unsatisfying prospect of mating with men of only equal or lower social standing and income. Women are not prepared for this. They have been trained to have their husbands support and provide for them, not the other way around. The prospect lies before them of bearing children, keeping house, and earning most of the income, while her standard of living declines. Meanwhile, her low quality mate has only to do a little more housework than when he was single. Women, no matter how successful, still expect to find a man to marry who is even more successful and better off financially than she, who will be able to keep her in comfort even if she should decide to take a leave of absence to care for her children, or “decide” to quit work entirely. This is entirely unrealistic. Instead, she finds that marriage is going to cost her financially if she expects to have children. This is because if a couple, earning identical incomes, marry, their standard of living will only remain stable if they do not have children. But, if they have a child, that standard of living declines by a third, then by a fourth if they have another child, unless one or both keeps making dramatic gains in income. Thus we see an increasing number of women who find themselves in unsatisfying relationships, with low quality men, and poorer than they expected to be but unable to have more than 1.7 children when they would prefer having 3 or 4. Ironically, the poorer a women is before marriage, and the lower her standard of living, the better she will likely appreciate her husband and the longer she is likely to be happy in her marriage.
This actually happened to my sister when she was on a school tour in some Eastern European country. She was waiting in line for some museum tour and a handsome young man who didn’t speak a word of English walked right up to her, grabbed her and laid one on her and then walked away. She still describes it as the most romantic thing that ever happened to her. I would have to agree. Not rapey…super hot. And that commercial was adorable as is the nurse and sailor photo. Best photo ever taken. Great moment. Fauxminists are bitter little things. The reason they hate stuff like this is because it would never happen to them. They’re far to unattractive and married to practical shoes for a man to be overcome with the urge to kiss them.
Well, you’re mentioning a guy who survived the Red Army. That’s not easy.
I do my best to provide women, today, with no courtesy or simple human decency. Women have worked hard to be equal to me and I respect that success. I fully accept and embrace the feminists’ ideology, and I do see women as my equals. I expect them to do everything I do. I expect them to behave as I do. When I have the misfortune to have to discipline women in my workplace for sundry reasons, I do not permit crying in my office, and I always have a witness in the room. All women receive the same response from me as I would give a man, and that works for nearly every situation in public or in my workplace.
I am also appreciative that the feminist movement is, by its very nature, gasping for air. It will eventually cease to exist. Feminists abort more babies, per capita, than any other demographic group, and this fact has decimated their ability to promulgate their “species.” Their very voting bloc withers and flows down drains in abortion mills across the country every day.
Perhaps, after more feminists have died off, we will be able to restore sanity to the idea of feminity.
what feminists want
is to be michelle obama
a woman who doesn’t
depend on a man
but on her government
Okay, Ms Hamilton. I’ll bite.
I’m tired of the way we now treat young women as no more responsible in or for erotic situations than children or animals. No, the Audi Super Bowl commercial isn’t “rapey”. A young woman, under the prom queen’s circumstances, could have pushed this pampered whelp away saying: “Don’t be an ass. I’m here with someone.” Then she could have turned from him–as if he had just told an offensive joke, or deliberately farted–and joined the conversation in which her date was engaged. If someone like the Audi Romeo dared to yank her back,Daddy Wolf would be bailing him out of jail before his evening ended.
I’m also having a problem with the view that Audi Romeo’s urge to kiss the prom queen in a very sexual way, and the prom queen’s urge to melt into that kiss, somehow take precedence over the implied agreement a young woman makes with a young man when she accepts his invitation to the prom. All I know is that if Her Majesty had publicly jilted my son, brother, single dad, or good male friend that way, I’d have had an urge to slap that smile off her face.
But see, that’s just the thing: It isn’t always right to do whatever we have the power, and the urge, to do. The Audi Super Bowl commercial seduces us into believing, for a moment, that–like a spoiled boy steering a loaned Audi into the “principal only” parking space–we should bow to our Almighty Selves, and deify our Urges. It does this by honoring Pride and self absorption, and treating casual social cruelty as lighthearted fun.
I love the 1945 picture of a nurse yielding to a sailor’s kiss. As one WW2 veteran once said to me, regarding these people: “They wern’t hurting anyone.”
And they must have been too beautiful for words, those young men returning alive from Hell. They were the last generation to know there’s a time and place for everything.
