Ta Wee (or Sorry – Good screen name for you by the way)

You seem to have a real axe to grind here (men who don’t like women shouldn’t be allowed to speak). Nice tolerance level for descent. For the record, I am happily married, male chauvinist pig, my wife likes me that way and I care way more about her opinion of my behavior that I do about your opinion on anything. That said, you don’t get the point (yes I’ve Seen this in action).

***Men who are demoralized and quit society diminish society. (Women too, but this thread is about men.) ***

If you diminish society enough, it “falls over” (Nick’s wording). Forget the feminist agenda (you don’t like me, boo-hoo, or you’re a baaaad man) they won’t work here. Try addressing the actual premise that if you take away what a man works for he stops working.

So, tell us why a man who has lost everything he cares about would continue to work?

You don't even know what it means or refers to.

Most men don't seem to like women, certainly most conservative men. They would seem to prefer a world without us.

You had a point?

Poor dears, facing adversity, not getting their way. I speak as a woman who LOST EVERYTHING TO A GAY EX-HUSBAND, and curiously, I was able to carry on without whining. I have a good career, I buy new cars with my own earnings, I own my house outright without money from any guy...why was I able to do this? Could it be because I had enough character to be responsible for myself???

All of you pathetic examples of 'men' (hah! boys!) should form a boo hoo club, so you can wail together and get it out of your systems. Maybe you could all band together and live together, too. You might like it a LOT.

Because living in the gutter is no fun and because humans aren't owed a living from society (this is a conservative forum, you may have noticed...)

A better question would be, "Why woulda man who has lost everything that he cares about continue to care about work?

As Nick Danger noted in his posts to this threads, a guy may still show up to work, but do a slipshod job, and certainly fail to invest his heart and soul in the endeavor...for, microcosmically or macrocosmically, why should he care about the future of anything when his only real connection to the future (his children) have been taken from him?
