    But women not being easy or feminine enough for you is not a real issue. Your views on what women should be are very 1950's. Perhaps you would have an easier time meeting a woman if you treated them as equal to you? ;)

    Back in the day, you just grab a woman, sling her over you shoulder and set fire to her villiage...

    Simpler times. :pac:

    In my experience when a man is sexualised it is a big laugh generally with an undertone of 'you go girl', [/B]

    to be honest thats the only thing I could agree with you on. Our kids are probably going to look back on a lot of current marketing and wonder how the hell people thought it was okay

    As women gain more equality you will find men will have to give up ground so to speak, that's the general dynamic of equality

    Should probably point out that while western secular culture is improving, women are still treated like property in much of the world. Oh Hai f**cktarded religious belief system!

    You're dead right. Women are total skivers. Only good for eating chocolate and moaning about periods.

    if I were to critique feminism it would just be to say that when the day comes that the walls of gender inequality do come crashing down, I don't think its gonna be the panacea to all humanity's ills as some would claim.

    There is actually a conspiracy that feminism was spearheaded by zionists so that women could be taxed in society rather than for something more noble.

    There's a conspiracy theory that my arsehole is the centre of the universe - tbf there does seem to be a small gaseous star residing in my colon. Doesn't mean it's true in any way, shape or form.

    I honestly thought this was a pisstake reply and not from the OP. Oh dear…

    More wimmins working in the warehouses and down the mines, otherwise they can fook right off with their equality.

    Peppa Pigs daddy is a classic example of the bumbling fool male role model (if a wonky-eyed, badly drawn anthropomorphic pig can be classed as a role model). However all this 'stoopid male' stuff in TV and movies seems to me to be a case of over-compensation for the realities of the real world, and a sign that the pendulum still hasn't reached half way, let alone swung too far.

    Women are stereotyped and caricatured in cartoons too. You often have the overly mammying mother character or the overly dainty helpless princess type etc. etc. etc. I'm not arguing against the use of these or saying they take away from the fact that men are also stereotyped. I'm simply making the point that it's nonsense that men are the only class of people that are made fun of in this way.

    I'd recommend reading "the disposable male or "the manipulated man" its an eye opener!

    The human world is gone haywire. I look out on a farmyard each morning and I see tranquility. There is a pecking order there. Everyone knows his or her place and little uprisings are quickly sorted out. In actual fact it is the gay hens that start most of the aggro. This last sentence may arouse a little discomfort to people but it is true. Ask any farmer that has a hatchery. If a hen is ill and sits, these approach and try to do what cocks do, but in so doing puncture the flesh of the ill hen at both sides with their talons and so cause disease to spread. So every now and then these have got to be culled. Easily identifiable with a more pronounced comb, they are mentioned in old sayings.

    Domestic violence happens to men too in case you didn't know.

    Do you think it happens to the same extent and to the same degree of severity? The vast majority of victims of domestic violence are women, and overwhelmingly the majority when we consider serious injury or fatality.
    Women in parliament? Mary harney, hanafin and coughlan..enough said.

    16% of the Irish Parliament are female. 23% of the British Parliament is female.

    Both have a lower level of female participation in parliament than Iraq by the way.

    What did I just read???

    This should not be an issue tho. Women require a little extra time off work after a child, but not enough that it should be a significant barrier to promotion. I believe the idea that the woman should stay at home indefinitely after the child is born plays a big role here. Why do women feel pressure to do this and not men? These are the stereo types that are damaging and need to be done away with.

    Thankfully things are moving in the right direction tho, so I'm confident in time this will no longer be an issue.

    Some women want to stay home indefinitely and can afford to - they are skewing the figures without meaning to. Other women have this notion that they can get to be CEO by flexi-time and work-from-home and all sorts of allowances for their parenthood. They can't.

    Whistling Feminists, in league with the Zionists, are making gay hens. It is officially the end of the world.

    Feminists want less crap from the likes of you and more respect and less disdain for women in society.

    Feminists want equality without accountability. Other things are they want to be paid equal but refuse to work as such. Male sexuality is shamed but female immorality is excused. men also get manipulated by women sexually. On tv men are portrayed as idiots while the woman is the dominant figure. Men are also expected to just nod along at whatever women say and hence becoming emasculated.

    Because it is. If you accept that, you'll find it answers your questions on average pay and promotion.

    It shouldn't be though, and that's the point. Maternity is a necessary thing in society and there should be maternity pay and strict job protection for women who are pregnant. Likewise women of a certain age shouldn't be denied promotion in the workplace because their boss is afraid she might get up the duff at some stage.

    Are you confusing "Feminists" with some aul harpy that burnt you one time? Or maybe you had a bad dream?

    This is complete fabrication. You'll find rampant male sexuality is actually celebrated while the opposite is actively derided. Hence why some men get termed "legends" for riding all around them while women are written off as "sluts" and "whores" for promiscuity.

    To be honest your whole agenda exists only within your own head.

    'Equal pay for Equal work' as I recall was what was asked for...

    Female immorality - care to spell out exactly what you mean by that?

    Ya - I can't believe the number of TV shows where men are raped and brutally murdered...oh...hang on....

    You seem to have some issues...

    'Oz' makes up about 81% of the above.
