  • why do people paint their own hatred and jealous insecurities as a virtue?

    In this instance I'm not referring to religion but alternative sexual lifestyles. like people with open relationships and the people who feel the need to weigh in questioning the love that they share, the validity of their relationships etc. why do these close minded people need to offer the condescending judgement? it's not as if these ppl in open relationships have never felt these jealous insecurities that you harbour it's just that they were able to get past it. Love is supposed to be a unique and beautiful thing that can't be defined by someone else

  • sexism and chores?

    I believe this is another double standard of our increasingly feminized world. in todays progressive society a man is now expected to do his half of chores around the house, dishes, cleaning, cooking etc basically half of what used to be considered "womens" work. the other side of the coin however... women are in no way expected to fix cars, shovel snow, mow the lawn etc. what was historically a "mans" job. now I know i'm gonna hear from some woman who mowed the lawn once last year and thinks that makes it even haha.

    a coworker even said that he can work all day long on her car and than at the end of the day he comes inside to be told that he has to do laundry because she spent 20 minutes wiping dishes

  • why should men get married?

    we're the big bread winners so it doesn't make sense financially

    we don't enjoy the same things, eg she wants to watch the notebook when u want football

    they're overly emotional and irrational which drives us nuts

    men are driven by sex early on, I get that but by now we know better than to think that we're still gonna get sex after marriage so.. why bother

  • should we educate all these ignorant women on how not to murder a baby?

    statistics show that most babies are killed by mothers so we as a society need to put our foot down and stop this baby murder culture women have created. we need to talk condescendingly to women and remind them that they're in need of an education because of the actions of a select few crazy people. now insert rape for baby murdering and this argument makes sense to a feminist

  • does online dating work for anybody?

    I'm currently single. I work a job where I don't meet any females so I've tried online dating. As a relatively normal guy (good job, decent looking but no brad pitt of course) this is a very humbling experience hahaha. Basically the only women on pof interested are chicks over 250lbs. In my real life I've dated a variety of women, all attractive on some level though. why can't I get any woman to message me online?

    maybe I'm just terrible on my profile but I doubt it. I don't think it's rocket science making those things up. basically post a picture of yourself on a good day and write a profile that doesn't include you being racist or how you hate puppies.

    I'm guessing other peoples experiences have been similar. I've come up with my theory that there are a few select men on these sites who hoover up all the women, manipulate them, sleep with them and than stop calling them. am I right?

  • why is it called gender studies AND womens studies?

    it's sexist. gender studies is inclusive of womens studies obviously. I think we can all agree that calling it gender studies and womens studies and mans studies is silly. this seems like another case of pandering to women. it's got to the point now where it's not politically correct to correct a woman, even if she's clearly wrong or labelled a yahoo answers subsection in an idiotic way.

  • is educating men on sexual violence necessary?

    I read an article today by a woman. it said that she received lots of education about pregnancy, sti's and practicing safe sex in school as a child. she said her education lacked an education on sexual violence and she feels this is an issue we should address as a society.

    This is a talking point I've seen a lot of lately. In my opinion it's a well intentioned , half baked thought that is the equivalent of a female brain fart. People are educated by everyone to not be violent towards one another pretty much from birth. So the argument that this education does not exist is false.

    and what is the value to educating people on violence? (sexual or otherwise) the thing about violence is we don't need to be taught that getting assaulted sucks. I do not need to read a book to tell me how I feel about getting a punch in the face. on the inverse side the perpetrators of violence (sexual or otherwise) have been taught what they're doing is morally reprehensible, they simply don't care.

    this education would be a complete waste of time

  • why is it wrong to discuss black people?

    ok the headline was meant to grab attention I admit. now, men and women are not exactly alike, white people and black people aren't exactly alike. we've developed characteristics advantageous to our environment over the years and years. so why is it that in 2014, with everything we know, it's not politically correct to say that black people are better sprinters or that black guys are naturally better at boxing? they are, it's clearly evident. i'm not spreading hate, quite the opposite, i'm giving credit

  • is "i have a bf/gf" a good excuse to deflect unwanted attention?

    i have an ex who seems to have gone uber feminazi (if i believed in God i would pray for her husband). anyway she posted an article she agreed with, went something like this: women are taught that in a bar or social setting they are to say , "i have a bf/husband etc" to deflect the attention of a man who may be flirting/ hitting on her etc. this teaching is sexist and wrong according to the article. according to the article this equates women demeaning themselves because it submits to the idea that a womans opinion doesn't matter and that ultimately men only respect another man and that's why women are taught this.

    does anyone think like this besides my crazy *** ex (still no idea what happened to her)? i mean i read that article and quickly dismissed it not as an oppressing tool used against women but a phrase employed by both sexes to get rid of someone in a time efficient manner that also allows them to save face. its not sexist just considerate and polite. anyway,

  • please share a story of an emasculated husband?

    this isn't meant to be a burn on women but rather the spineless men who marry them, submit to everything they're told and generally make dating harder for men who still have a pair. here's my story of a coworker, it's true:

    Man, former football player, lineman, big dude gets married. buys a house for him and her, she doesn't want to work so he pays all the bills while she sits home with pets (no kids) for years. she wants a goose as a pet, he does not, a month later he's changing goose diapers. he's a steak loving, burger eating red blooded male. she's a vegan. so now in the house that he owns and pays all the bills he is not allowed to have meat in his own house (if a man dictated what a wife was allowed to eat feminists would lose their mind). he sneaks in real food where he can, sad I know. last bit he bought a bigger house for them, his new neighbour, a fisherman stops by, welcomes them to the neighbourhood and gives them a couple lobsters as a welcoming gift. yes, my coworker (who loves lobster) was commanded (and did) to take the lobsters back to the ocean and release the lobsters (where the fishermans brother watched him do this). what have we become?!?!?!

  • why do men pretend to be something we're not?

    males are hard wired through evolution to spread our seed as much as possible, this sexual lifestyle was the foundation for our survival ,evolution and existence today. so why are men expected to be monogamous without question? it defies nature. yet men are constantly made to feel bad for who we really are

  • has feminism gone too far?

    Catherine Kieu mutilated a mans genitals because he asked for a divorce. a group of women openly mocked the victim of the crime while the entirety of the female fans present laughed. do I even need to say that if this was a woman whose genitals were cut off by a husband who had asked for a divorce that this might have played out a little differently? no feminist can argue this, is the WORST form of sexism in the civilized world and women are to blame

  • when is it ok to cheat?

    funny sexist fact about yahoo , when you type in, when is it ok to cheat yahoo suggests "on your husband" in several different ways but never suggests it "on your wife". moving on, say a person is married to someone who stopped enjoying sex, they enjoyed it in the past but not anymore. they claim they don't want sex. they are a good partner otherwise, good parent, provider, similar interests etc just no sex. how many years go by before the person with a sex drive cheats and doesn't feel guilty about it?

    If your answer is just get a divorce you're not helping. I mean really anytime any guy does anything that could be construed as negative you get at least one wing nut on here screaming to end a marriage, not helpful at all ppl.

    if you believe it's never ok to cheat than please say why, why does one partner have the right to deny the other person sexual satisfaction their entire life even if that end could be achieved without them even having to lift a finger

  • can a man understand a woman?

    rhetorical question, of course not. Only women understand women, that's why they all hate each other

  • advice for men vs advice for women?

    how do people reconcile this obvious sexism? what I'm talking about is there's totally different expectations between the sexes. for example if I posted a piece about a woman who loved her husband very much but struggled to keep the weight off had a husband who stopped having sex with her and shooting down her attempts and I told you that woman suffered depression from this and was very hurt the advice you would get would be unanimous, that guy is selfish, an a hole, divorce him cause you deserve better but if it was reversed..... when I type a piece about a woman rejecting her man for sex everyone comes to the defence of the woman. it's so predictable... the classic advice, : "well the man needs to talk to his wife to see what's troubling her so theyu can get past it and he can work on their marriage harder"

    to summarize, when a man neglects his wife, there's no discussion as to why, he's 100% to blame no debate is tolerated and when a woman neglects her husband than (through some excuse) he's actually to blame for her bad behavior and the man needs to put in work so "he" doesn't allow that to happen again. men behaving bad, men to blame. women behaving bad... men to blame

  • does a married person have a responsibility to perform sex?

    in a monogamous marriage one assumes almost ALL of the responsiblilities of keeping their partner satisfied sexually. I'm not saying there should be rape or anything violent but I firmly believe married people owe it to their partners to provide sex occasionally at least even if they "don't feel like it". Yes I understand a womans body is a womans body and legally she can say no as long as she likes but at what point does that selfish behaviour become abusive and grounds for cheating?

  • when did men stop being men?

    things are a bloody mess it's so one sided for women. I mean divorce laws, alimony. Wasn't there a time when we had our loose gender roles and people were happier? it seems nowadays a faithful man who provides for his family is not enough, before these men would be appreciated by their wives, they'd go out occasionally, they'd get blowjobs, their opinion mattered. now men are expected to live up to their classic gender role (all the negatives that is) while receiving no praise or recognition or even sex from their wife. while women in this day and age can just do whatever they feel like doing and if you make a judgement than you're an a hole and if a woman embraces a more traditional role and stays home raising kids.... she's praised as doing the "hardest" job on the planet, please

  • what does emotional intelligence mean?

    can anyone make sense of this? from what I've gathered it's just a made up term with no meaning to comfort women cause they're not as smart as men at math and science. ex: she failed her chemistry, biology and calculus exams but she showed a great emotional intelligence when she cried afterward
