    A couple months ago, the nursing mama brigade showed up at FB's main campus in Palo Alto for a nurse in. Took loads of pictures at the sign.

    Some of your posts seem a bit of heated ramblings, but this is totally legitimate.

    Society expects you to be macho and willing to throw punches, not tender and sweet no matter if that is your nature. The law still protects you equally from assault, but the social "double standard" certainly exists.

    Fuck a man's custody rights at conception though, dude. You can share your thoughts and wishes and they will be met with whatever reasonableness the woman you decided to mate with has got in her, but until you can incubate a fetus in your body, you're not gonna get the last word. Women won't have it.

    I wonder the same thing. I've heard quite a few young men say in simple terms that they wanted to make a bunch of money so they could get women or a hot wife. I think that's fine essentially, I'm all for people wanting what they want. Life is short. If one man wants a gold-digging trophy wife and one woman wants a rich husband and that's what motivates him to earn six figures and her to watch her figure, go for it. I hope it makes them happy.

    If you want equality, everyone has to be equal to want what they want and try to get it.

    I totally pursue men. I make things real clear. If I'm not interested, I'm not gonna flirt to get free drinks and meals. If I am interested, I don't need to be compensated and the message will be made real clear.

    But that's me.

    In this here free world that we want to be equal, everybody gets to live how they want to live. That includes both sides of the stereotype coin.

    That only works if it goes both ways, though. Because a woman can choose to abort, but men are financially beholden to children against their will.

    If women get the privilege of having custody of a child because of pregnancy, men should have the privilege of legal paternal surrender due to the fact they can't get pregnant. Or, to put it in other words, full custody should imply full responsibility for the child. A privilege, implies a duty...well, not in tiny little feminists minds, but that's another issue.

    The law as it stands in the U.S., gives the incentive for women to game the system in order to collect child care. From holding the child practically hostage, to ooops forgetting to take the pill, it's an ugly sight to see. All the while whining about how this is a male dominated world, yadda yadda yadda.

    The same can be said about alimony/civil union, and domestic/sexual abuse laws which forgo due process.

    At the end of the day, the guy who never puts on a wedding band, never moves in, and always wears a condom wins. Both financially and sexually.

    Too bad he's gay. :(

    j/k ;)

    Don't bang a woman unless you both agree on what to do if pregnancy occurs. Get it in writing, if you're really that worried.

    mman I've got to say I agree. IT's not gender equality that I see out there, it's gender NEUTRALITY> What's with all of this promotion of androgyny everywhere these days? All the guys I see these days are metrosexual and feminine and all the girls don't seem to care about their appearance and just seem manly

    bs.

    To the OP: I don't want a girl to court me though, because then I wouldn't want her. What's with all of this promotion of androgyny everywhere these days?

    I must have missed this part. Chivalry was absolutely incumbent upon women's respect for men as the stronger party and authority figures.

    It wasn't sexist, it was only "separate but equal."

    What passes for chivalry today is a bunch of emasculated, politically terrified, white knighting chumps who shower women with compliments, flowers, and free stuff all the while having to hear what violent assholes and pigs men are. A direct outcome of the welfare state and its pampering of "minorities" all the better so that it can keep raising tax revenue.

    Chivalry today, is misandric. But it wasn't always. Feminism will have you believe that men were pure oppressors and women were pure victims, in the past.

    Nothing could be further from the truth as evidenced by the fact that true equality is the last thing on women's minds nowadays. They are sitting pretty...

    Men were protectors and providers of women in a harsh natural setting for time immemorial. And they got the respect they deserved for it.

    There's nothing wrong with that.

    You should articulate that *some* women do these things.

    I don't treat my man like a violent oppressive pig because he isn't one. I couldn't be more grateful to have a loving, caring, sensitive man in my life because I am a very sensitive woman inside. He meets my needs this way and handles me with great care. I'm pretty sure he would tell you that if he were a member. There are some women who elicit negative behavior in men. There are some women who treat their men like soulless, un-evolved cavemen; just as some men don't fall in line with your "high ideals" while treating us like feeble minded, helpless creatures.

    Actually my man is his own boss. He allows me certain leeway and I do the same for him. It's called mutual respect.

    I also agree with tuesdaystar's post above.

    It's important for me to say that men can provide a tremendous amount of love to their children and their role is essential to healthy development. Children without father figures do suffer, and I'll tell you I'm one of them. I've had 2 step dads (the first was really the best) but not having my biological father in the picture to a greater degree is really a sore spot. Sadly, he and my mother couldn't get along long enough for my sake but w/e I sort through it. So please know I do believe a fathers role is very very important, however the mother is pinnacle to child's social skills and development of compassion for humans. This has been proven many times scientifically - especially thru breastfeeding at the start (I could site references if need be). Have you ever known someone who was abandoned or neglected by their mother as a baby? I know a few people who are totally unable to "connect" with others and show compassion for people, its a tremendous struggle because they simply did not develop certain skills from their mothers. I emphasize the word mother because that person cannot be replaced, surrogates can come close but not equate. Grandmothers can provide love and care, but biologically they are not as equipped as the natural mother. So in terms of gender equality with regard to child rearing and human development, I feel its best to let nature take its course women are child bearers and caretakers - thats our job.

    Or they have pretty much done fuck all and it its really been about technological changes, economic necessities, inceasing complexities of economic systems since WW2, that have brought about all the changes.

    And it was WW2 that brought up a big leap, all of a sudden we needed a whole bunch of women in the factories making armaments, running eveything else whilst most of the men were away, then everyone saw, well doesnt really matter if its a man or a woman doing this or that, just as long as it gets done

    Money, Greed, Power and even Survival come before fuzzy wuzzy speeches about what we should do



    Is it a male-dominated society? Women only earn 85% of what a man does is the figure that gets thrown often. But how many of those men earning more than their female counterparts in the top positions.....then have most of that income controlled by the wife anyway. Women control the majority of the worlds wealth


    Is that REALLY true?, is it more men dont want women in the military, or is it indeed women


    This is a bit more like it. What remains of history, is only what was passed on, and what we assume now. Relative to the community, do women have more rights now compared to 1000, 10000,20000 years ago - back when we were all only living to 30, each village needed to breed, harvest and fight for its own survival. Would the reality of how it would have been even remotely close to how you assume it would have been.

    All thoughout history, and in much of the world today, girls are more likley to end up victims of sexual violence, i say girls not women, women and childen more likely to be poorer, be displaced, end up homeless.....but

    .....and its a big fat juicy but, males are far more likely to end up dead, and not by a small margin, 3,4 times more likely in the worlds hot spots...or back in ancient times.

    Young and cute are more important than old, thats natures little suvival guide, females bear childen so males are always going to be disposable that way.

    So its a male dominated world how exactly? They die earlier and more likley to end up dead far earlier from stupid shit, the ones huffing and puffing often are just regurgitating something some chic whispered in their ear ealier with that same chic often controlling that wealth he's supposedly getting more of

    On an individual comparison, obviously one is better off living Justin Biebers life vs Amanda Berry. But overall, whether its 2013, 13 AD or 22,013 BC is one better off being male or female?

    That's usually the agreement men make in marriage. that doesn't suddenly give women priviledge in the world.


    I still feel like it's men... just because majority of women don't join, doesn't mean men aren't the ones that didn't want them there throughout history.
