come on grow up anyone promoting non equality is not a real feminist. Sounds like you are talking about a lesbian not a feminist IMO
Sorry with that statement you just disqualified yourself as someone knowledgeable in this area.
fine, keep playing semantic games then
Thanks - I do delegate, although that still leaves more work than the poster's "one meal a day," etc. For example, "Nurse new baby 18 hours out of 24."
My daughters are smarter than that. After all, they're my daughters.
We all make poor choices sometimes, this was one of the poorest I ever made.

Your post gives me pause because you are publicly bashing someone who has no ability to defend himself. Now he might truly be all the terrible things you allege, but at this point I would like to read his side of it.
There's some selfishness in any decision, not that there's anything wrong with that.
And it's not because I don't think I'd be a good parent or find joy in it, or that I don't want to make any sacrifices. One look around at the way I change my life and limit what I do for my animals would show you that. And I like kids, as visitors. It's just that I'm not sure I want that lifestyle. If things had gone like the rule book said, and I'd have married at 18 or 25 instead of 36, maybe I'd feel different, and my kids would now be 10 and able to ride that silly pony I'm not sure why I own ;~D But at this point....
Well, I guess you sort of granted me the point about aggression. In fact, I maintain a lot of the PC crap we get shoved down our throats these days is a product of a strong feminine influence in the work place.
I agree, young men aren't pursuing a career as aggressively as they once did. Would any of this have it's genesis in the modern male stereotype? You know, the one where we've gone from a benevolent, wise father figure, (Ozzie Nelson, Andy Griffith, Ward Clever), to the inept, stupid father figure, (Ray Barrone, Homer Simpson, Al Bundy)?
Young men are either demoralized, or lazy, or both, I'm not sure. So, you have a couple of unappealing prospects for the future. First, digging ditches all day won't supress a guy's aggression, trust me on that one. Second, if a guy can't get women to notice him because he digs ditches, that won't help calm him down.
With a large number of men in this position, you have the potential for a huge violent crime problem.
I'm not sure what else will happen, but be aware, not all of these undereducated men will be stupid. Hmmmm, intelligent beings with high aggression and low self esteem.
You had better hope things don't go as you so gleefully seem to wish they are headed.
Visit American Heritage Dictionary fem·i·nism (fm-nzm) KEY NOUN: Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. The movement organized around this belief.
Name some feminists, popular ones you beleive are the real deal. The fact is the key palyers in the feminist movement, the actually folks pouring money into scholarships, school books, tv ads, tv programs, etc etc. Are launching a massive propaganda effort against traditional female roles and a massive effort for women in traditionally male roles. You're quaint idea of what feminism 'really is' is irelevant because the people in the movement moving it forward do not share you're happy 'we can all get along' attitude.
Not all blindspots are formed by romance!
True ... some are formed by excessive FReeping.
True...but only in the employment arena.
An uneducated person (with some testosterone) can start a business or sell a product or service and make substantially more money than any doctor or lawyer or corporate manager.
It is a big world out there. This whole 'job' thing is relatively new in the grand scheme of things.
College is not only unnecessary to succeed financially, it is now becoming a hindrance. In the end, the strongest and smartest will survive. They will not necessarily be the most educated. The educated will probably be working for them and earning a decent salary.
"Well if that is the case, you ought to follow an argument"
Hmmmm... so there is a context to the rule? Personal attacks are allowed when you decide they are? Is that a right given to the women here, or do we all just decide when it's appropriate to attack?
That is true, but for the most part, the more educated you are, the more professional of a degree, the more money you make.
Uneducated males who make lots of money are exceptions, and will be even less so as the world economy gets rid of over paid factory jobs - plus there is more competition these days. In the old days, an uneducated male could start a business and have lots of opportunity, now with record immigration, lots of immigrants are starting businesses, and women out number males in owning their own businesses also.
You dont need to read a book to see why women made less than men in the 1950's, there were virtually no women in professions, no female doctors, no female lawyers,no female computer engineers, and men greatly outnumbered females in college.
That has now been reversed - shoe is on the other foot.
Anyways, I never said I liked what is happening, I am just observing what is happening. High paid factory jobs are disappearing in this country. Males are not going to college, males are not going to professional schools, grad schools. Women and immigrants are the majority of new business owners. Men are not going into the military like they used to.
The consequences and future are inevitable, like it or not.
That ranks along the lines of "I'm from the Government. I'm here to help."
These key players by definition are not feminists then. What is at fault here is your broad stroke "tar-everyone-with-the-same-brush" definitions.
