Isn't it the truth? Makes me want to watch Sergio Leone movies and "Patton" all weekend long...LOL

Aha! TV watching! Good thing. Sedentary, practically risk-free..

To each his own.
To me he is a whiner trying to hop on the "victim" bandwagon.

[Aarchaeus]

I'M MASCULINE AND I'M OK! :)

Hmmm...All caps and big print. Trying to hide some insecurity? Why not just show your feelings. It would be GOOD for you!

[Lorianne]

Schools don't administer drugs, parents do. It's lily-livered parents who are the problem with drugging kids, not schools or teachers.

More whining and buck passing. If parents don't want their kids on drugs, they don't have to put them on drugs. Simple accountability.

[Lorianne]

Absolutely, they tried to get me to give my daughter drugs and I simply refused. It is possible to refuse.

To quote Nancy Reagan, "Just say no".

And you're right it is not just boys. About a third of my daughter's girl friends are on some kind of drug.

Men have controlled the world through most of history so we know what they do: build things, break things, invent things, compete with each other fiercely and often pointlessly, and fight endless wars that seem to them justifiable at the time but that, seen from afar, are just what males do...

True! I have never known a woman to "build things, break things, invent things, compete with each other fiercely and often pointlessly, and fight endless wars that seem to them justifiable at the time." Hahaha! ;-)

[W]omen want security, pleasantness, and someone to care about (or for)them...

Clearly, Mr. Reed hasn't been on many dates... ;-)

How about 32 years with the same woman. Three kids, all on their own; driving a corvette convertible on week ends together, & enjoying cheap Australian wine.

I did. It was good for me.

Was it good for you too?

To be fair in my reply, I went back and read the article again. In all honesty...this article is correct regarding many women I know. I think it is his generalizations that made me so angry. I was raised with brothers and a dad that spoke what they wanted, when they wanted. I have gotten a lot of so called "male" personality traits from this. I like to play rough, am very competitive, think crude jokes are fun to hear and to tell and thought (and still think) that games like dodge ball are great. I taught my girls not to be whiners, how to play sports and work on cars. I am not, however, even close to being a lesbo. I think that is disgusting. I LIKE men. Especially manly ones. So in all fairness, I should probably pass on trying to convince anyone of the inaccuracies in this article. Most of them are true...with everyday women.

[HitmanLV]

You are right - the article is clearly 1/2 baked.

[dakine]

I see you have come around...

[SedVictaCatoni]

And why do all the women there put up with it?

Because they'll be beaten or killed if they disagree?

[HitmanLV]

Hey pal,

I try and watch a Leone film every weekend, including my bootleg widescreen DVD of 'Duck You Sucker!'

Viva Leone!

[dogbrain]

Men.

I HIGHLY recommend

"The Big Damn Book of Sheer Manliness"

by the Von Hoffmann Bros.

Oh, yes! I'm having fun with this thread!

[justanotherday]

You are spot on. Here's the real deal: Mothers tend to side with their kids (even when they're wrong) and Dad's have to be the butt kickers (even when they're wrong). Sadly, the courts have been overtaken by the female uber-woman, squashing male rights and values in the process.

[codyjacksmom]

Out of all the friends of my three daughters, I have heard "I have to have my meds for my ADHD" so many times, that I lost track. It is so over-diagnosed for both genders'. Just a catch all for people that don't want to accept blame for their lack of discipling their children.

[LibKill]

And why do all the women there put up with it?

That's right.

But in a nation where the rule of law more or less prevails (USA), I have a RIGHT to be male. And a right to reject that Male=Evil.

[codyjacksmom]

I have come around to what?? The fact that I am unusual or that I have a "penis-envy" complex?

[LibKill]

Oh, yes! I'm having fun with this thread!

So am I. Let's keep it civil and have more fun!
