LOL! I'm heading to the range in about 30 minutes. I've got a .303 my father in law loaned me that I'm anxious to shoot.

I think it's time for a little woman bashing after reading all of that!

So, to regain our "masculinity," we have to become more like women. What's the point?

On a recent transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning.
One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane.....If I am to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?"

For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril.
They all stared, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then an Italian man stands up in the rear of the plane.
He is gorgeous: tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
He starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt... one button at a time...No one moves...He removes his shirt... Muscles ripple across his chest ..She gasps......He whispers ......

"Iron this, and get me something to eat...

Women want to be treated like an equal until it's time to pay the tab.

Equal when they want to be. Special when they want to be.

Here, here. Men outperformed by women?? This woman better check the stats on engineering, chemistry, and math. Standardized tests support, with numbers, that, in fact, men do better in math while women in language. We are equal but still have our differences and there is nothing, I repeat, nothing wrong with that. This article is about the feminization and homosexualization of the country. Hollywood has been the driving force, but some have resisted being led by such famous idiots. Think for yourself and be what you wish with no apologies.

From the article:

(admitting you were wrong is a very feminine trait)

Turn off the alarms - this account is from a different planet!

Outperformed by girls at school, emasculated by women at home and at work, shockingly dislocated from your emotions and the hapless joke figure in endless TV commercials and sitcoms whose message is that females rule and men are fools.

Not!, no to either, dislocated from what? Who watches sitcoms anyway?

(scans remainder of article....) What drivel!

I do what I do within the limits of civility (most days), wear enough clothes to be legal and comfortable and don't really give a rat's ass what anyone thinks.

"I'm going to the range this afternoon. Any suggestions for targets?"

This idiot's book for starters. This crap makes me want to puke. This chick should watch the new Milwakee's Best commercials, they are hilarious!!!

You couldn't be more right. We have political correctness to thank for the sad state of affairs we find ourselves in today. Sadly, most people don't realize it.

Sorry to interupt the female bashing but....

I was at the range few weeks ago with my husband and went out to buy more targets. They of course have prairie dog shapes, turkeys, etc. The guy behind the counter asked if I needed any help and I asked him if he had any targets in the shape of kittens. The look on his face was priceless!

Who are these people? At my best I am barely scraping above caveman. I am still trying to get the hang of not attacking people for their food. Thanks to this article when I get home I am totally going to pee on the seat.

My-ness

Say it aloud. "Minus"? rather a, er, negative connotation to that term, ya think? She spends all that time worrying about men getting a bad image, then titles her solution "minus"? Great.

I concur with FReepers who decry the ongoing feminization and homosexualization. However, on many threads I have noticed a disturbing trend on FR.

At one time the vast majority was against women in combat, now apparently they have capitulated. Almost every thread has FReepers openly supporting women in combat.

Nothing but the feminization/homosexualization agenda carried over into the military, IMO. The feminization of the miltary.

They would like to see no gender differences in appearance and behavior. In fact, even sex will be obsolete.

Good lord man, don't lump all us gals in that opinion of yours. I like a REAL man and love sex.

Your situation sounds much like mine. My wife has not worked "outside the home" for over twenty-five years. We homeschooled our four grown children. By the way, it took less than two months to teach each one to read.

While we have a tv, we watch very little. I built my house with my two hands and those of a friend. We all read extensively. All members of my family are proficient with small arms.

My great hope is that my four children will carry on this attitude of self sufficiency that I and my wife have tried to instill in them. So far so good.

While my entire family is college educated, I have tremendous respect for the "Trades". When I hear a "metro-sexual use the term "blue collar" in a derisive way, I chalk it up to ignorance and think, "which one would I rather have by my side in a street brawl. I'll take the "blue collar" every time over the "metro".
