couple all this with the fact most of the jobs lost in this economy have been male oriented and it is truly sickening.

still i ask, "who will teach our sons to be men?" i mean now that women like ringaround the rosie red o'donnell are the example?

Our country has stopped teaching their sons to be men, now you are teaching them to be libs.

My sister-in-law has two boys that she's raised on her own, currently 22 and 15. In the past ten years that I've seen her raise them, I do notice that she has a tendency to pathologize their stereotypically male behaviors.

Every once in a while she tells my wife some horror story about things they've done and I ROTFLMAO because I know instantly that they're just being boys and that the behavior is relatively harmless (I was much worse). I try to explain but its not really my place. Sometimes they could definitely benefit from a male perspective.

Gallina, you have to get over yourself.

So it's NOT called a Pecker anymore?? So what do they call it today??

The USA has been in decline ever since we let broads vote and negroes drink from the same fountains.

So, what do you fruitcakes think about Obama's Intel Chief admitting that torture works?

Oh, I'm against gay marriage.

In the last Episode of the Simpsons Bart turns good in order to impress a girl (wrong on so many levels) and as he sets the table Marge says something like, "this is every mother's dream about boys that they be little girls."

As long as women fear men we will always have the upper hand.

LOL

BTW, FF 101!

Did anyone see the video (linked in the article) where Rudov battles O'Reilly and O'Reilly, pinhead that he is, says that hitting a woman is assult, but hitting a man is ok since he probably deserved it. Only male-hating pinheads like O'Reilly think like that.

Apparently your ex-wife got custody of your balls, Member.

Single never married, don't plan to be, don't wan't my money taken by court-sanctioned fraud.

But if I were as you said, are you saying it's a bad thing for people in that situation to complain about it?

You whine incessantly about the "unfairness of the system", so naturally I assumed you hired Joe as your divorce lawyer.

I caught that simpsons episode last night. That part pissed me off too. That's probably where my sister in law is coming from too, as her oldest is a girl.

My Super's wife thinks that way too. She's got 5 girls and 2 boys who are the youngest. She totally wishes they would act the way her daughters do.

Where do you people live, Estrogenia? All our friends who have sons revel in their typical boy behavior.

most teachers want them on adderall or ritalin for just being boys.

So, You are a lesbian.

Go figure.

My wife and her sister were raised by their single mother..a very "girly" household.
Well now we have two boys 11 and 5..she is absolutely shocked at their behavior some days as I sit and laugh my ass off...and I was much worse..when she is aghast at something they have done, I just hand her the phone and tell her to call my mother.

I thought you home-schooled your brood, Cranc.

Just cause the teacher wants them on adderall or ritalin doesn't mean the parents have to put them on it. Instead parents cave because otherwise they'd need to be strict parents where is the fun in that. My teachers wanted me on ADD drugs and my parents refused. I had ADD but my parents didn't like the idea of dosing me. So they had to work harder to get good behavior out of me.

I don't understand, if these men who claim they are being feminized hate it so much, why do they get involved with women at all. Live as a bachelor if you want a kid adopt one. Get over yourself.

That's exactly what I'm talking about with my sister in law.

i homeschooled for a couple of years when they were young as we were traveling in my husband's work - it gave them a good start to caring about academics over popularity when they did begin public school.

i stated women in the "movement" - meaning the movement to dethrone men - i love men, especially my manly man.

"Rebranding Manhood"

YEAH!

Except for the fact that feeling like this, much like the "this color makes me look gay" fear ---- entirely originates from ones Inside persona.

So to translate ---- Men who feel their "manhood" is threatened by a woman, in realty are already weak and its them themselves who believe they are less than manly!

But im not surprised that the "conservative" DR gang is all here ----- blaming their own internal feeling on someone other than themselves!

The only thing Red ever "nails" is his own hand. Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course.

Red, I think you generalize and over simplify, but you're partly right here.

We rebranded manhood back in the seventies.

Is it time to do it again, already?

Oh now you've done it! The Earth is going to start rotating backwards or somethig now. I am going to have to look if Nostradamus predicted this.

"unfairness of the system"

Like lesser sentences for the same crime?

98% success rate on restraining orders compared to 50% for men?

Custody of children, therefore child support that never has to be accounted for except in rare incidences in which she is found to be unfit.

Then there's the social aspects of someone like the vp announcing that his favorite Super Bowl commercials depicts men as fools. Well, maybe that's just a matter of camaraderie.

It's no shame to point out the stereotyping of men and boys, as well as misreporting the frequency of abuse by women. Child murders are committed by mothers in 70% of cases, and that same statistic is mirrored by women committing 70% of cases involving unilateral physical abuse. Meanwhile our society either ignores the probability of women to commit violent actions, but even laughs when those acts are committed against adult males.

Through the Department of Education a program of identifying "incorrect behavior" and assigning a diagnosis that either requires or persuades mothers to medicate adolescent males with drugs that in retrospect were ill advised.

While women clamor for Equality, for the most part they are all too willing to insist on the preference they enjoyed when it came to protecting them from harm. Now the Warrior who kept them safe as a principle of society is castigated for traits that have long been bred into the species.

Men have always been expendable to a greater or lesser degree. We're prone to taking chances and putting ourselves at risk. We volunteer. I applaud women who do the same and defend our country. I respect women who believe in reciprocity. I admire women who stand for equal application of the law.

But I have no use for men who accept abusive or humiliating stereotypes - the Al Bundy or Ted Bundy characterizations - and pass it off as good fun. Do they have Sons? Nephews? Fathers (those bastards). Uncles and Grandfathers? Are they all idiots, abusers, murders?

An old saying is that the funniest joke is Watching Your Neighbor Falling off His Roof. At some point in time is was probably stated as Falling Out of a Tree. Today we call that Pratfalls, Physical Comedy. So there's no question that the art form produces laughs, but there's ample evidence that men have played the goat in our advertisements - and the Marketing Firms know that denigrating men amuses a significant majority of women.

I'm not laughing.

What's Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander.

No matter how many opinion pieces are written you can't change the sexes. And thank God for that. Men and women are made to each compliment the other. Each gender has certain traits, strengths, and characteristics they bring to a relationship.

Men will always be stronger and more agressive by nature -- the woman's "protector" -- and the majority of women like their men that way. Women, on the other hand, are the ones who keep the "civil" part in our civilization.

Making the home comfortable, inviting, and a place of warmth for the man to come home to, the initiator of most family and social gatherings, celebrating birthdays and holidays and the keeping of most of society's traditions are usually always initiated by women. Women like to nurture, and most men like to be nurtured (whether they admit it or not).

I think, if you asked, you'd find 95% of women in general would not want to change anything about the opposite sex. We like 'em just the way they are and the way men have always been. Nothing is more unappealing to most women than an emasculated man.

Mutual respect and appreciation for each other is all that's needed between men and women.

When I was in kindergarten I threw a carton on milk at the teacher. She sent me to the Principal's office ans she screamed at me. She asked me why I did it and I told her the devil made me do it which I found quite funny years later because it was a Catholic school. So she went to the other room to call my mother and while she was gone I took the knife off her lunch tray sitting on her desk. When she walked back into the room I threw the knife at her and pegged her in the knee.

Great story timbci, but I don't understand the point, except maybe that you were a young criminal?

boys!

This is all a byproduct of feminists creating & milking "male guilt" & is equally as destructive to the entire species as white guilt is to race relations.

I grew up w/ 4 brothers, 8 uncles on my Mom's side, 6 on my dad's, and around 30 male cousins, countless boyfriends, etc. I've been around guys my whole life. I have learned more about men from raising a son than any other relationship I've ever had with any male. Somethings about men are true JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE, same for women. Women just tend to have selective memory where that is concerned to suit the situation. It's what we do. I have a girl too & to watch how they work & interact & adapt, it's very enlightening.

Someone mentioned it above about being bred into the species. The traditional roles of men & women in humanity came about through evolution but now there's this idea that only women continue to evolve. You've reached your ceiling guys. Good thing we're hear to pick up the slack. What a bunch of shit!

Modern feminism has made it taboo to want to be JUST a mom or a homemaker like those AREN'T the heartbeat of the damn family anyway? Hating men is a requirement, they'll settle for denigrating them & diminishing, or better, rewriting their contributions to society, both historical & current. Women put more pressure on other women than men EVER have.

I love men! I can't imagine my world w/o them & DO NOT want to! My son is a joyous case study in the greatness of boys/men. I adore every scraped up, belching, scratching, dirty, ball-playing, seat-leaving-up, tough-guy inch of him! It balances out nicely with the door-holding, "Ma'am" speaking, hugging, mom-loving, tender hearted, bag-carrying, seat-giving-up-to-a-lady, best-big brother EVER, brilliant, hard-working, sweetist little guy EVER rest of him.

Women are supposed to be so complex but we're not so hard to figure out. Men are a splendid puzzle. It's just that sometimes we get pissed & want to shove it all off in the floor. But eventually we get over it, pick it up, & put it back together again. It's a labor of love.

Get back to me when women control most businesses, government positions, make more money for the same job, etc.

Until then you should focus on finding the balls lost instead of accusing others for your emasculation.

As a middle-class white man, I have been victimized more times than I can count. It's been horrible. Day after day of torture.

Ha ha. Just kidding.

Both sides have some validity here. Let me just say this: My sensitive friends tried to raise their kids in a gender-neutral home, putting dolls, trucks, and the rest all in one space, and let the kids play with them as they wished. There were no toys of war or violence.

They were so pleased that Kyle showed such interest in the Barbie dolls.

Kyle, discovering his inner creative streak, discovered that if you bend a Barbie doll a certain way and make a POW POW sound, it works pretty well as a gun.

His parents laughed and admitted they were off the mark.

cbob - we were pretty "gender neutral" in most of the toys at our house, but our son and daughter so appreciated the day my husband bought them their first bee-bee guns. probably made our aluminum worth a little more when we went to the recycler...

Barbie dolls are great, especially when you chop their heads off!

this thread is great mister member...

and its so true and also a reason for so much bullshit coming from liberal headquarters...

Panchito you have your head in the sand. You don't have an understanding of the concept of power. As the article points out, there is an illusion of male power that maks people indifferent to how men are viewed by society and the legal system.

My 1 1/2 year old daughter we're trying the gender neutral thing with, but she loves her little stroller and is always trying to feed her stuffed animals and puts them in the stroller for a walk. I've got a little girl I guess.
She also seems to be infatuated with boys. I'm in so much trouble. Almost wish she turns out lesbian. ;)

How do You do that when You pinch the head just right the neck unsnaps from the hole in the body portion of the barbie dolls??

No dummy, I am not practicing for the real thing and I am not a creepy misogynist or any kind of misogynist. Many little boys chop off the heads of their sister's Barbie dolls, but it doesn't mean they grow up to be murderers, Get a grip dude.

Only pussies are obsessed about their "manhood". I bet Memberless belongs to a "men's group" where a bunch of wooses sit around and bitch about women.

And since we are on the subject of Barbie dolls, it's no accident that Ken doll is not anatomically correct. Ken doll is the radical feminist's ideal man.

I think comments like this only serve to prove my point. Women are celebrated for fighting for their rights and for the women's movement, men who fight for their rights are just pussies. See the clear double standard here? Why are you a misandrist Dummyfidian?

Funny how you spend more time bashing women and talking about your "manhood" than anyone else here.

I don't bash women. I can't help it if you guys have your head up your ass and can't see what's going on.

Only a creepy misogynist would obsess over that.

The article is a bit of an exageration, IMO.

But the self-centeredness and sense of entitlement that has become typical of so many American women is the reason why American men are marrying foreign women in increasing numbers.

With all due respect member, don't assume my understanding of the concept of power based on one post, that just makes you seem devoid of content.
My point was that the article itself is fraught with the whiny tone of a disenfranchised male. With statements like "Men, who built the legal and physical infrastructure of this country from scratch, have, over the past 36 years, chosen to allow women to marginalize and overshadow them.", it's hard to take the article seriously.

Even here in quebec, the male dropout rates in high school are huge, male teenager suicides are among the highest in the world. But to blame women for these problems is rather simplistic.

It has nothing to do with putting my head in the sand, quite the opposite: it's having a worldview that takes into consideration the everyday conditions for women in NA. To read the article and your posts, you'd think that women have dominated everyday life for the past 30 years.

I have never in my life been at a disadvantage for being a hetero male, quite the opposite. How about yourself?
