"Are Men Necessary?" Who's asking?

I think feminist overstate their importance. I don't believe men need to be "fixed" and they're not our toys. I'm glad the women like Dowd remain single. Serves em right.

[Millee]

We love our fellas ping....

[lady lawyer]

Dowd deserves to be old and alone.

[Ashamed Canadian]

Feminists have ruined women now they blame us men.

[peacebaby]

I need a man twice a year:

December 1 to put the tree up, and
December 31 to take the tree down.

Just kidding, ya'll.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Maureen Dowd scares guys...

But not for the reason the author thinks. ;)

[NRA1995]

Betting that "the Dowdy one" still sits up at night writing angry letters to Michael Douglas....he's lucky she didn't take any cues from "Fatal Attraction"

[Fierce Allegiance]

Feminists would be a lot cuter if they weren't so damn bitchy.

[Felicity Fahrquar]

Since when and on what planet is Maureen Dowd "the ultimate alpha female"? PLEASE! And I sure as hell don't know any men she makes "nervous" - "laugh like hyenas" is another matter altogether. Author is clearly in need of a clue, not to mention better reading material.

and they're not our toys.

Oh, come on. Let's not go over the edge.

[Michael Goldsberry]

... men who are bored with empty women.

... I need to get my mind back on work...

[EX52D]

For me, men are "very" necessary...

[day10]

Doesn't this need a "mega-barf alert"?

[r-q-tek86]

Thanks for the ping.

I don't believe a single word the dowd says... not about politics or dating or even if the sun is going to rise tomorrow. To have her say that men are afraid of smart women is bs. I think that men don't like her for a wide range of reasons... and her education and her job are not among the reasons. She is simply trying to find someone to blame for the fact that she is repulsive.

Typical dimorat gameplan... "It can't be MY fault"

[saganite]

LOL!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Thanks for the ping, Millee.

Maureen Dowd finds men unnecessary because she is too bitter to hold on to one.

[carlr]

at the Y

There is a joke there somewhere.

[LongElegantLegs]

Plus every six months for routine maintenance...

[parsifal]

Without men. . .

Who would women fuss at?

Who would women blame for ruining their lives?

Where would women get the extra money they need?

Who would women dress up for and put on make-up for and diet for, etc.?

Why would there be a Cosmo magazine, with its monthly sex-secrets article?

Without men it would be a sad world for women. They would have to rely on their brains and work ability instead of their looks. They would have to change their own flat tires.

parsy, who loves women but, like John Donne, hopes not for reason from them.
