I know too many women, my ex included who have lied and used the system to keep me from my daughters on numerous occasions. It's actually very common. Just because you have never witnessed it, doesn't mean it never happens. Plus, you're a woman. It has no affect on you. You have no need to look at men's issues as they currently stand. Your sleeping with dirtbags is not a disgrace on women every where. Spare me the feminist dribble. It's a disgrace on you and you alone.
You had me until this feminist dribble. Been through a lot because of your gender? Spare me. That is ridiculous. The world is nothing like that. You are paranoid and sound too much like a drama queen with that line.
Go back and read my posts. In all of them I said it is rare, but it happens. I mentioned about Andy and his daughter and I also mentioned about my family changing my name and keeping me frommy dad. This is more common in upper-middle class caucasin families. It is families lower on the socio-economic scale that typically sufffer from the father being in jail or losing custody or choosing to be a dead beat dad.
Mmmmm yeah being raped by my father...not thinking that would have happened if I ws a boy. So yeah that experience has made me a little paranoid. I am scared to death of being alone with men I don't know.
Bella- *newsflash* your not perfect! you don't know what its like to have a child taken away from you. you only know of stories or been in situations where it has happened IMAGINE if IT WAS your child ... If i'm correct you can't just get pregnant by masterbating right!:bigear: Males do just as much work as the woman, so i just don't see why your saying all this shit about men!! Furthermore do you really think that low of men? That highly of yourself? How do you feel of you having a huge rock a car a this a that JUST BECAUSE your a WOMAN. a real woman wouldn't taken because of all the bullshit that has happened in her life. FFs i've gone through a lot and i don't expect anything from my husband ... WHY? Because we love eachother and we do things together and we work together and money doesn't mean anything to us. You can't take it with you when you die so why sit there and waste it on materialistic things you just aere not grateful for?
No interest in men's issues? I have an interest in human issues-for both men and women. I have an interest in men's issues because I am marrying one, have an uncle and grandfather who I love very much and will most likely have a son someday. I have a HUGE interest in men's issues. I have big brother come to my work for the little boys at our clubs without fathers. I have all of the male specific programming implemented. It is the men in this community who are mostly suffering from having fatherless households. I think every little boy needs to be allotted the opportunity to become a wonderful man with positive role models. I am sick of all the little fatherless black boys without strong black male role models. I delvelop specific outreach programs for these boys. I empower my fiance every day, telling him what a good man he is. i think every woman should do the same if she has one who is good to her. Don't tell me I have no invested interest in men's issues. AND certainly don't call me a feminist because I am anything but that.
Mmmmm yeah being raped by my father...not thinking that would have happened if I ws a boy. So yeah that experience has made me a little paranoid. I am scared to death of being alone with men I don't know. _______________________________________________________ I've gone through very traumatic things in my life time .. Nothing as being raped by my father. But what i have gone through is being physically assaulted by my ex- boyfriend molested and also raped .... BUT you know there comes a time when you just have to let go let live. I went through a rough time and a hell of a rocky road in my life where i had PTSD and i couldn't look back. NOT ALL MEN ARE THE SAME!
i am grateful for my material things. I am grateful my fiance thinks enough of me to propose with a huge princess cut engagement ring.i am also thankful he cares enough that he doesn't want me driving in the snow without a 4-wheel drive. He loves me so much in every way and trust me I return that. Personally, I think you are just jealous. As they say...A diamond is never too big unless it is on somebody else's finger...
I know not all men are the same. My fiance is wonderful. My grandfather is wonderful. However, it is my choice not to go into bad neighborhoods at night...well not all my choice I am sure my fiance would not be pleased if I walked around downtown reno at night alone. I am smart, not paranoid.
Yeah okay i'm jealous... c'mon lets compare!! give me a break. me jealous of you give me a friggin break. you sound like my sister ffs. i got bigger than you i got more than you i got better than you so I know more than you your nothing i'm everything type person . Whatever! I'm a very happy person until i run into a person like you
Ok, well then go run by yourself. YOu attacked me. I was describing how blessed I am and how wonderful my fiance makes me feel. You turned it into a materialistic thing. You're right I have it all: A college degree, a great job, a wonderful fiance, a nice house, car, perfect little dog, great family...so if that pisses you off then take your negativity elsewhere because you're ruining my vibe.
right! who says i'm pissed. This is the internet. furthermore i understand where your coming from and i'm glad where you are in your life. Sometimes its just not healthy to rub it in . As for me , i am married 2 children work 2 jobs have a family to raise and am who i am. Was no attack. Just the way you stated it in the previous post
I agree. That is a huge fault of mine. I am jealous. I want a child soooo bad, but we can't until next year.
I'm married to fifteen women, have twelve houses with ten white picket fences, and own several thousand cute little dogs. I had hundreds of children but I sell them into slavery to afford all the rest. Wow, this is kinda fun. Also, I'm an astronaut! And Batman! And I drive a corvette that's actually a Transformer!
Its not just affirmative action. I feel that men are being judged to a greater degree on the popular stereotypes. And there are these things shown in the attachment here... an example of how media itself is promoting such attitudes.
The picture above (see attachment in the above post) became quite popular around 2002-2003, I was working for a womens nonprofit organization then and found this on mousepads.
Its not just me, there are many books written by scholars on this issue. It may not have an effect on grown up men, but the popular images created by the media do have a negative effect on young boys who seem to either 1) learn behave violently thinking that they are supposed to act that way. 2) start hating themselves or thinking that they are "evil".
