One image seems to capture it nicely (and there's a corresponding one for the guys):

thanks... I do have a tendency to be very passive and brood over things, and this has been bothering me for some time.
It's becoming more difficult every day to convince young men that all they need to do is "find the right girl." The right girl is only known in hindsight; all the real girls that can be dealt with today look like a 50-50 chance of ending up alone and in the poor house, estranged from one's children and treated like a bottomless ATM machine by lawyers and courts....
EXACTLY!!!
Female genital mutilation is practiced in many Muslim cultures. It's the older women who perform the procedure on the young girls. One would think that women would rebel against depriving their own daughters of the ability to have sexual release. Perhaps it's an attitude of "If I'm condemned to never experience sexual pleasure, why should YOU be allowed any?".
The attitude may be more widespread than we think
I agree with that. Envy/jealousy is a terrible human failing.
I have never seen a woman upset that a man opened the door for her. At least by me.
If you send it to a national paper you may become the speaker for a new demografic group, the "anti-feminist mom".
Whereupon the DNC will immediatly study you for your vote, Kerry will say he already has your vote, and feminist studies departments will decry you existence as in indication of the oppressive traditional marriage which enslaves women into heterosexuality.

"Yep. Once I know a woman, and figure out that she not only won't object, but appreciates it, I'll do these things. But a stranger? Too easy to garner dirty looks as it is."
I think you nailed it here. The mystique that a woman doesn't need a man's help has been created, stripping chivalry to the bone.
Even worse for image-fixated women is the physical fitness trend that's become very popular with male homosexuals. You've hit it off, he's handsome , funny, monied, receptive, weii-mannered and single. Then he drops the bomb by mentioning his "life partner". You shrink until the busboy mistakes you for a crumb or your atoms implode.
It's hard for average joes like myself to sympathize because it seems to be perfect karmic reward for over-agressive upward mobility (gold digging). We know that behavior is hard wired but we still find it offensive.
That's a scary thought!
Bravo to you. I did not see anything I disagreed with, and you know where I am heading off to again, in October. The points you bring out, have much to do with it.
LOL
yep I know
i'm visiting an out-of-state university.
i do 50-70 staircases a day for exercise. i like the stadium because it's steep, but it's closed for security reasons. a campus police officer directed me to the basketball court, saying, it's open everyday for exercise and air-conditioned.
guess what? i wasn't there longer than 10 minutes until some feminist chicks started blocking my access to the stairs; as i was going up the stairs, they'd position themselves on the horizontal concourses to interrupt my movement, crossing paths with me. thus, i'd have to break my stride. this went on for two weeks daily until i removed myself to the 6-story parking structures. the guys didn't do this.
apparently they feel inferior and jealous of men.
A most excellent rant. Beautifully put. It commends you brilliantly.
Thanks :-) It's an oldie but a goodie considering all the current discussion about declining birth rates. My mother had at least nine other siblings and my father had the same number, both Roman Catholics. It's about cherishing life and wanting God's best.
Signed,
Revolting cat!
LOL!!!! get lost and stop ruining our fun ;-)
A married man will go over land sea and tell all kinds of lies to get sex from a girl.
Petronski will go over land and sea and tell all kinds of lies just for some good old-fashioned hand-holding. Alas, I believe I was born sixty years too late.
