Sexist and primate idealogy ...Women!
Well, I don't automatically assume that all men here on FR are boors. If someone DOES act boorish, I just simply set em straight, then go on my merry way. Seems to me you take things too personally rather than letting it roll off your back. You'll probably never see that person in real life anyway, so why get all hot and bothered about it?
I'm a Texas woman and I have to say, you really need to get a life! You may be from Texas, but you've seem to have never taken to heart the little maxim "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." Why do you care if the men are so busy being macho that they don't pay attention to little ole you? Has it ever occurred to you that many men feel they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, protecting their wives and their families? Give them a little slack, sister! Try not to be so selfish and maybe some day a manly man will pay attention to you and think you and your brain are the best thing since sliced bread.
In the 70's I read the Feminist Manifesto. I won't use the language of what they said they were going to do to the men in this world, but they have almost succeeded. Men are now made out to be dopes on TV and in commercials. They aren't supposed to have their own clubs, etc. Little boys are supposed to act like little girls.
I for one just either just laugh or ignore things I don't like on this site.
You can quit posting on this site if you want to, but don't pick up your toys and leave.
It's not about you. But as I said maybe I just don't get it.
One of my favorites:
The Truth About Men
By Tracy Byrd with Blake Shelton.
We don't like to go out shoppin',
We don't care what's on sale.
We just want to sit with a bag full of chips,
Watchin' the NFL.
When you come over at half-time,
An' say: "Does this dress fit too tight?"
We just look you in the eye with a big fat lie,
An say:"Uh, uh: Looks just right."
Well, that's the truth about men.
Yeah, that's the truth about us.
We like to hunt and golf on our days off,
Scratch, an' spit, an cuss.
It don't matter what line we hand you,
When we come draggin' in.
We ain't wrong; we ain't sorry,
An' it's probably gonna happen again.
We hate watchin' "Steel Magnolias".
We like "Rambo" an' "Die Hard 4".
Jump up and down like fools when we see the new tools,
At the Home Depot store.
We don't really wanna take you to dinner,
At some fancy restaurant.
The only reason we do is 'cause we know it leads to,
The one thing that we all want.
Well, that's the truth about men.
Yeah, that's the truth about guys.
We'd rather play guitars and work on cars,
Than work on the problems in our lives.
An' though we might say it to you,
Every now and then,
We ain't wrong; we ain't sorry,
An' it's probably gonna happen again.
Well, if you want to know what we're all thinkin',
It's nothing too complex.
It's just somethin' cold for drinkin',
And a whole lot of s-e......
Yes, that's the truth about men.
Yeah, that's the truth about us.
We like to hunt and golf an' drive around, lost,
Scratch, an' spit, an' a whole lot of other disgustin' stuff.
It don't matter what line we hand you,
When we come a-crawlin' in.
We ain't wrong; we ain't sorry,
An' it's probably gonna happen again.
We ain't wrong; we ain't sorry,
An' it's probably gonna happen;
Sure, it's gonna happen;
You know it's gonna happen again.
An' that's the truth about men.
You know it, son.
(Tell 'em how it is Tracy!)
I'm not sure what your problem is.
Hmmm!
Is this about abortion?
There are probably as many women as men on FR;if not more.
If you post like a "girl" and then fall back on being a "victim",then whatever jerks you've met here,have been proven correct in their misogyny. And yes,there are a few, but just A FEW, bad apples here,just as there are in any large group;however,if you debate without facts and solid knowledge,you deserve whatever misogynistic garbage thrown at you.
I'm a woman and yes,lots of people who don't know,mistake me for a man.WHY? Because unlike you,I don't post whiny post,filled with "feelings" and complaints.
If you think that Conservative males are anti-women,you should see just how dreadful liberal and ultra lefty ones are! LOL
May we consider this post your OPUS? Are you going to leave now? And finally,what kind of cheese do you want with your whine,dear? :^)
Sexist and primate idealogy ...Huh? I have seen sexism, but not anymore than usual dumb guy crap. I've only really had a problem with one guy here and it was 2 years ago and he's no longer a member.
Sugar, you need to lay off the bottle before posting......
good point.
Would we have the women's movement as we know it if men had moved faster to support the vote for women? Or not worked so hard to keep us limited in the work force? Or, if we still didn't have some men mention that the worst thing that happened to the Nation was/is the women's vote. (We won't even mention the trashing of Kobe Bryant's accuser.) What would our nation look like if white men had worked harder to abolish - or not enact them - after Reconstruction?
I'm not asking for "PC" and don't get the idea that 2-in-Texas is, either. There's a difference between "PC" and deliberate attempts to belittle and insult the other side.
And, as 2-in-Texas said, you can't get rid of us even with clumsiness. This is our fight, you are the enemy of our enemy, and we'll put our shoulder to the wheel, even if some of our energy has to be wasted shoving you over a bit to make room for us.
2-in-texas
As a former combat veteran and officer in the army (24th infantry division, mech), I can't help but point out the irony in the fact that the very things you harangue about testosterone pumping males are what purchased the freedom and right to free speech that you enjoy here!
Look at the hundreds of thousands of the best americans, who bought freedom at the highest possible price, their own lives, and it is, without question, the men you chastize. Sure is ironic to me!
Oh please. This is the kind of feminist garbage that makes me cringe. Particularly when it is spewed from a so-called "conservative" woman.
Wake up and smell the talking points! You have been drinking the Kool Aid or watching Lifetime television, one of the two.
My ovaries don't give a hoot about tax reform. My uterus doesn't stay up nights thinking about national security. I vote with my brain, not my genitalia.
Do you not realize how whiny your post sounds? Feminists are completely self-involved -- their world revolves around their convenience, their feelings, their whims, their quest for fulfillment, not once recognizing where true happiness lies. It is almost as if they live to find opportunities to be unhappy and play the victim.
Politics is not for the faint-hearted or easily offended. So cut the crap. When you get a real problem, let me know.
2-in-Texas.... you protest too much !...
By the words you have written, I see not a speck of meat to be digested. You have a complaint, out with it so we can judge and learn.
I don't see the actual complaint in this post. What are you angry ABOUT? Men being men? Should conservative men take estrogen? I've been on these threads and I don't have a problem with what's being said. What is the specific beef?
I hate it when I read a whole article and still don't understand what the author is trying to say. What exactly is it the men are doing in the GOP you don't like?
