The Female Lead - Why do feminists hate men? | Facebook
 
Anyway.................you're confusing what was said about Our Generation. The young women of today have it (mostly) all together. Get with it man!

Did you know..........the college population is now 60% women? In My Day girls had to have a higher average to get into college than men Because women were only in college to look for a college educated Husband............or so it was said.

@senior chef, if you honestly believe the aftereffects of being r@ped are equivalent to the emotional baggage from moving a roller cart when asked - even if asked aggressively, then you've got bigger issues than this forum can address.

Definition of Feminism: https://www.britannica.com/topic/feminism
"feminism, the belief in social, economic, and political equality of the sexes. Although largely originating in the West, feminism is manifested worldwide and is represented by various institutions committed to activity on behalf of women’s rights and interests.

The belief in social equality ? Really ?
Try selling that idea to any man who has lost custody rights, in a court of law, to a woman. Men have little or no custody rights.
OR try selling that to any man who has been forced to pay child support for a child/children that are not his biological children.
Try selling that to the man who showed up at a breast cancer awareness march in support of the women. He was told, "This march is for women only".
Social equality ? Ha Give me a freakin break.
 
When men have an equal chance of gaining child custody, then and only then, will there be the beginnings of true equality.
I can't even begin to tell you how many close friends of mine have lost EVERYTHING in a divorce. The women almost always ended up with his house and 80% of his hard earned wealth.
Though I did know one guy who was ordered to pay an outrageous alimony. He quietly arranged to get fired from his high paying job and he took a low paying job as a school bus driver. Result ? No alimony payments what-so-ever.

One guy I saw on the news, just PRIOR to a divorce action, took a bulldozer and flattened his home into splinters.

You were referring here to the terrible emotional trauma you'd have experienced if you'd knuckled under by moving your rolling cart (that you acknowledged was partially blocking the bus aisle) when "aggressively" asked to move it.

It is not merely a single event. I was talking about a general life philosophy. When a man bends over for another man, it becomes a life long habit. When that happens, he has lost any claim to manhood. Such creatures are pitiful excuses for a man. That is a burden I refuse to carry no matter my age.

By the way, you can put quote marks on any word you choose, but that does not alter what happened. I was there. You were not.

Puhleese. Women have gotten the short end of the stick for thousands of years. Might the pendulum have swung a bit too far in a couple of cases? Perhaps. But as a gender men have dominated women at nearly every turn, including having bestowed themselves the legal right to beat their wives within an inch of our lives until just a few decades ago in this country. It's still legal in many others.

Do an internet search for images from breast cancer marches. Plenty of men are participating. Might someone have said that to a man once? Perhaps. But it's certainly not the prevailing attitude at those marches. There are multitudes of husbands, brothers, sons, fathers and male friends supporting women who've dealt with breast cancer battles.

Yeah. NOW ! Not so when I lived in Portland Oregon 30 years ago.

Obviously you have not read any of my posts about the plight of women in Afghanistan.

PS: Just curious. Is it your intention to nag me forever ?

Absolutely nothing. I was responding to Starsong. She is the one who brought up the history of women through the ages.
 
:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
So we are back to the jerk thread. Maybe le chef thinks I alerted hollydolly, but how will I do that? I have never sent a private message to her or anyone else. I have replied to a few from some dear posters.

Now le chef, not all women are hard core feminists I am NOT, learn la différence !!! Like the women who post here, we do not hate men, we hate arrogant males, who have nothing to be arrogant about!!!

You were bullying a young black man and you think everyone on the bus would give you an ovation. They did NOT!!! There was much room for you to move your little shopping basket but non, you wanted to puff up your chest and say: I am better than you. You need an education and some good lessons taught and I hope some day someone teaches you them! The bus driver should have thrown you off the bus for disturbance and for telling the young man "I will put you in hospital"!!!!

Read this whole thing and must say that I have read shorter novels. No comment other than I am sorry I made my initial comment on post 2.

Had I known it would cause good people to turn on each other I would have sat on my hands so as not to touch the keyboard.

Oh, Lee, it was a good point that you made. I walk outside at six every morning and yesterday was followed by a guy for the entire hour. He tried to scare me at one point, but did not succeed. But I was a tad worried. I just ignored him and did my walking.

He wore a hoodie, kept his hands in his pockets, was even or ahead of me, but then, because he walks fast, came up behind me at one point and passed me. Ugh. See, I did not mention his race. It’s not necessary. Did I notice his race? Yup.

What color was he? Well, frankly, if he got any closer to me he was going to be blue, cause I am too old to run but I can still get my knee up high enough to make an impact. 😊 Husband is going be surprised cause he is getting up this morning and walking with me. 😂
 
Aneeda, I said I would not make any more comments but I will make one more.

This thread has turned into a tug of war with neither side willing to drop the rope.

I am done.

That's ok. Don't worry about it. You had no way of knowing that hidden in our midst, are people who take pleasure in trying to hurt others.
Every time I run across such people, I am reminded of an infamous quote by the feminist actress, Sharon Stone.

"The more famous and powerful I get, the more power I have to hurt men"

My previous post was removed, but I am sure you got to read it. 😊

In any event, it seems when you stand up to someone you are a “man“ who doesn’t “bend over“ 😂😂😂. But when others refuse to”bend over” to you, those others were “hidden in our midst”. First you are fairly new-you are not in “our midst”. There is no our.

Secondly, mr. I never bend over, the only person who has caused ”hurt” resentful angry feelings and managed to alienate several people is you, other wise known as @senior chef, nickname mr. I never bend over. And NO-ONE is “bending over” for you, at least no one on the forum 😁.

Third, no one the forum “takes pleasure in trying to hurt others”, but you might be the exception as you continue on and on and on.

Lastly, for now, I am tired of your attitude and comments about woman and I can assure you the women, on this forum, DO NOT HIDE, from any men. DO NOT BEND OVER, but stand firm against certain comments made my you. The women, of the forum, refuse to bend over, mr. I never bend over.

I have decided I am accepting le chef's version of what happened to him on the bus.

{shrug} I never doubted the OP's accounting of the incident. The last time I was on a city bus was about 1975, and as I recall, there were plenty of rude young folks as riders. I was younger man then, so I wasn't a target, but now I certainly would be.

Before I retired, I was in a meeting with, among others, our corporate CIO. Our largest customer (several billion a year) had continued to ask for additional reports/data/information, all of which required time ($$$) to develop and resources ($$$) to perform. He said "I don't mind bending over backwards for *********, but I'm getting kinda tired of bending over forward.";):cool:

Sorry
