Find yourself a perfect partner: another man.
Christina Hoff Sommers tells the story of how the "Superbowl Sunday" myth got started. A bunch of self-appointed Professional Feminists staged a press conference where they totally misrepresented a paper written by some professor, and sold the media a bill of goods about how millions of women would be beaten up during or after the upcoming Superbowl game. Only one reporter bothered to chase down the original research paper and noticed that it said no such thing. All the rest of them bought it hook, line, and sinker. So here are millions of men watching a football game, and on comes a public service advertisement warning them not to get violent with the womenfolk. If the urge to punch or kick the wife became too great, they should turn off the game. What the Hell was that about? We've all seen these articles; the media is full of them. Men are brutes... genetic defectives. Keep them away from the children. |
Not all that far-fetched. I know a number of women who are "AC/DC", some preferring women but occasionally going with guys, others primarily hetero but occasionally going the other way. From my experiences, I think there are more AC/DC girls than pure lesbians. In such a case, if the pure lesbians can poison the environment between men and women, they're more likely to have the AC/DC's to themselves. It's also an incentive for gay men going after AC/DC guys
It has to do with a branch of Marxism - the work of Gramsci (who influenced the generation of 1968.) Basically, Gramsci advocated attacking the traditional culture instead of Lenin-style armed takeover. Gramsci's goal was the same as Lenin's - a Communist state. Today's radical liberals continue the work of Gramsci except that destroying traditional culture, which used to be means, became goal.
Or is it, as 'longtermmemmory' suggests in #67, something more sinister... a truly outrageous and sick scheme by seriously disturbed lesbian wackos to rid the Earth of male humans, presumably so they can have all the girls to themselves? That would sound nuts if they weren't actually working diligently to make it happen.
I would like to offer some hope. Despite all the feminist howling, women need men more than men need women. Why? Because for men physical needs (the sexual drive) are more important than emotional needs. For women, emotional needs are more important than the physical ones. Thus, mens' needs can be satisfied in many ways (e.g through one night stands, prostitution etc.) whereas women's panic about men being "unwilling to commit" is very real.
So how would you predict the next 50 years.? Europe is probably about 10 years more decayed than us, dont you think? Sweden has pretty much de-institutionalized marriage,with others close behind, and the welfare state's imminent rocking point has garnered the full attention of the elites in Europe; that is, the crisis in pensions and demographic imbalance. They (the elites) have decided to import their future generations, but unfortunately they picked Muslim Countries to import from, so now theyre screwed on two fronts. A nasty metamorphisis is forthcoming coming, soon enough, isnt it?.
And what about us? Immigrants are fueling whatever pop. growth we have, and the demographics are somewhat different here. But IMO theres no stopping the coming debacle; a Republican govt ( all 3 branches) certainly seems impotent, and there no stopping the media's onslaught of PC propaganda.
So it will be interesting, if you look at it from a distance. But whats the end game?
You should be SYNDICATED my friend.
The topic of the thread instantly reminded me of the Christina Hoff Sommers' book, and the posts by both of you, Nick and SOM, (and others) went even further in their analysis of the cause and effect of this very troubling societal decline in America, in which feminism has played a major role. I found these posts, and this thread as a whole, to be very worthwhile reading. It's been interesting and informative.
I was amazed by the patience you two, Nick and SOM, had with the poster, Ta Wee.
=>You don't even bother to argue the points raised in the article, thus your case is utterly unconvincing.
The whole point was that women are insufferable demons. So, for those with that delusion, I suggest the company of other men so that they might be happy.

She never understood the subject of the article from the outset.
Thanks for posting this article, Nick. It turned into an exceptional thread.
