I wouldn't worry about them. Their attitude will probably change once they actually have sex with a woman.

Hehe! To tell the truth, some FR women-bashers sound like the flaming homosexuals I know in their utter contempt for women. Makes me wonder sometimes . . .

I would imagine that by age 67, the lady's children have left the house....just wanted to remind every-one of that point!

Sure...they abandoned her too!

There is no explaining it.

When I have to fill out paperwork they'll ask me...'do you work'? I say yes, they ask where, I say I'm a housewife and mother. Some actually look at me like I grew a second head. I tell them, I work inside the house so my husband can work outside the house.

I'm doing what I've always dreamed of doing since I was a little girl. Being a wife and mother. My dream came true.

Sweetie,

We want our ping list...it's more than "Women treat men like dirt"....there have been treads about women being unfaithful during ovulation and it not being a surprise...

that the only decent women to marry are overseas because all (yes they said ALL) American females are spoiled harpies.

that women shouldn't be allowed to vote (no joke, the guy was serious)

that the days of arranged marriages were ideal because women don't know what they want, so they have to be told etc....

And the divorce threads are bloodbaths.....

Oh yeah, and then there are the really cute threads where men have burned their wives alive with responses that were basically "She deserved it"....in jest of course, or maybe not.

And the list goes on and on...

Not fair. I said what Capriole said 5 minutes before (at least the part about needing to define "nice guys" and noting that liberal nice guys will certainly be rejected by women).

There is a glass ceiling here for praise. :-)

Admittedly, Capriole's post was better than mine. :-(

Sorry sugar, I'm reading the thread from the bottom up....I just read yours.

Your post was excellent too. Thank you very much for your thoughtful post :)

Look,
Yesterday I posted that before that I die, I would love to know what it felt like to be a stay at home....something (now not mom, but maybe Aunt).

You're so blessed to be living your dream!

Let's face it: Al Simmons and a few divorcees early on, were the only misogynist posters on the thread and he seemed to be joking around...or maybe not...

I was here last night, and saw the village idiot's posts #400-403.

He isn't kidding. I'm not surprised to see this AM that the posts were pulled, as they were downright abusive - no gray area whatsoever.

I don't see #414 as bashing. Just a bit prejudiced and based on emotions :) Alone it's not a bash. On a bash thread, it just adds to the negative.

[that the only decent women to marry are overseas because all (yes they said ALL) American females are spoiled harpies. ]

I guess these men just haven't been to Savannah, Georgia. Southern women are a charm. I think the guys who said "all" may have been living in blue states and never got around the red states. I loved Georgia.

My issue with Savannah would be the black guys shooting debutantes downtown after a ball...and the majority black community getting angry that the whites are bold enough to get angry about this particular murder...while not turning the killers in.

Thank you. I married a good man and I thank God for him.

Sometimes I joke with him and say, jeez sugar, what did you do in a previous life to get me as your wife, murder a lot of priest and this is Gods payback to you?

Perhaps you'd like to point out where the woman bashing is in #414, because I sure can't see it.

Then I thought about it a bit more, and found that there were some areas in which I couldn't support it.

See it now?

Doncha just hate it when abusive posts are pulled before you can read them?

I wish the mods could come up with a 'killed posts graveyard' where you could go see them if you really, REALLY wanted to (with permission) :)

What a bunch of BS that is spewed in here. All kinds of excuses as to what qualifies as bashing--- weak men, prejudices, if they're liberal, too conservative, too kind.....where's the breast fed or bottle fed post?? JEEZ. LOL.

No. Discussion is different from "woman-bashing."

What kind of statement in your opinion would qualify as woman bashing?
