Obvious to those who participate in political forums, one might ask, where are all the women? They have been given their own sub-category here yet very few women chime in. And those who do seemingly cannot deal with the conflict. I have been a participant in internet forums since Al Gore was kind enough to share his great invention with the rest of us. Out of literally thousands of threads in which I have participated, rarely was there a woman participant. Women [on the whole] are simply not into this type of verbal combat [albeit they are into all kinds of other mischief]. Although there are many more characteristics that are similar between men and women, there are also a great many that are not...a fact accepted by humanity up until the last dozen or so decades when many women decided to wear their victim-hood on their sleeves while attempting to have their cake and eat it too. The best any of us can do is to take the hand dealt to us by our Creator/Nature and make the most of it. The opportunities are endless in a country such as our own, so instead of wasting so much time trying to be equal, take that time instead and add to your bank of skills desired in the marketplace of life. If you want a man to be attracted to you, do those things that men find attractive. One thing's for sure, men do not want their woman to be like a man. It's time to kick the ideology to the curb and embrace reality. Women have the opportunity to have a great life if they can find the balance between having a satisfying career and being a loving wife and mother. It is obvious that most women who made career a priority [as they were told that this was being a "real" independent woman] are either completely overwhelmed attempting to do and have it all [high achieving career and family] or they are getting near the end of their child-bearing years realizing that many men really don't want high achieving women [and all the baggage attendant]. If a woman wants a man to have all the traditional qualities she has always found attractive, then she is going to have to uphold her end of the deal and allow men to be men. This means allowing the man to lead when appropriate because [in almost all cases] logic results in better outcomes than emotion when making many critical decisions. Women need to re-discover the importance of having a father present for the entire upbringing of her children. On the whole, the experiment of having single moms raise children [especially males] has been an absolute disaster. Additionally, the primary purpose of your husband is NOT in enhancing your lifestyle. It is providing for and securing the safety and needs of your family. The key is that most women make great mothers. This is the most important difference and one I believe all of us can appreciate. Is there anything more important than giving the next generation the nurturing they need to have the best chance to succeed in life? Women need to embrace the differences between the sexes and be thankful for living in a time where you can be and do whatever you want...but only if you find the right balance, something that men have been working on for thousands of years, as well. Women need to be 100% women, not an inferior version of men. Let men be men and understand that you have to take the bad with the good [just as men have to do the same]. This is life, not ideology where you simply wish things into existence because that's what makes you feel good. Life is a bitch for EVERYBODY. There are no shortcuts so make the most of your life and stop complaining. You are among the most privileged people that have ever lived on this planet. Take that stroke of luck and run with it!!
LOL.. Is this your attempt to "chicsplain" to the rest of us then?, and not having to put much effort into it?
How can you tell real men from trans-male women on this forum anyway? Gender ID is totally voluntary and even then most people lie about their sexuality.
It's quite obvious who the women are as no guy is capable of laser-focusing a verbal attack like a woman.
For a second I thought I had time traveled back to the 1950s, but then I realized that couldn't be possible or my computer screen would be black and white.
Women don't want to be equal to men, instead, they want all of the advantages of being a man, all of the advantages of being a woman, but none of the responsibilities of being either. Many young women wish to be sexually promiscuous, have high paying careers with leadership roles, and of course, they always want to be in charge. They also wish to retain all the advantages of being a woman attempting to attract a man who ticks off all the boxes, who will be her protector and take care of all of the menial chores. She also retains her right to depart the sinking ship first...always. OTOH, she can't be bothered with having children or cooking or cleaning or anything else that might interfere with her precious lifestyle. And she certainly isn't interested in taking on any of the traditional male responsibilities. Why bother with that? But most of all, she retains the right to bitch and complain about every damn thing no matter how easy her life becomes [because she has made her own hell on Earth].
Hang on, I thought women didn't like to engage in verbal combat! And if they are laser focusing a verbal attack, isn't that a skill effective in combat?
From my experience, when women become flustered engaging logically, they resort to their never ending supply of emotional weaponry. They will try to find your weakest area and hit you with an emotional ICBM strike.
Na, there's all kinds of people out there. I guess there's some biological tendencies, but few are reliable or black and white. Other than childbirth and breastfeeding, the most reliable one I guess is it's difficult for women to be as strong as men, much as it's difficult for me to be as strong as somebody who uses steroids. There can be no doubt that it's easier on a child to have both biological parents working as a team to raise them, but I don't think that's really a matter of women behaving a certain way, it's more a matter of both parents realizing the greatest gift they can give their kids is a good relationship with the other parent, and being fortunate/determined enough to be able to deliver on that.
Its just pathetic, innit. Men who feel they need to tell everyone how inferior women are. You can just taste the inferiority complex. It really is funny to watch men make claims about how 'emotional' women are while failing to recognize their own viscerally emotional responses to a deep seated sense of inferiority they are too scared to acknowledge.
It's really great to know how you feel about people you don't know. Nobody who feels good about themselves talks about other people's "inferiority." You can only talk about yourself [and I don't believe anybody is really interested in hearing about you]. These issues with women are widely acknowledged. Get out once in a while and see what it's like.
