Participant[quote=njtosd][quote=scaredyclassic]Because women bear the burden of having kids, they are kind of screwed.[/quote]
Because you constantly feel that you must compete to be a real man, you are most definitely screwed. I have never once in my life questioned whether I am real woman, woman enough, etc. i have never posted pictures of my lats, delta or traps (or whatever) to show that I measure up. And bearing the burden of having kids makes us essential. In many species, the children are fathered by approximately 5-10% of the adult males, but the opposite is never true. :)[/quote]
There is a deep truth here. You must become a man, but a woman simply is.

Participant“We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana, as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!”

ParticipantIf you smoked 100.00 worth of medical grade Marijuana every day, you’d be too high to post on piggington.
Participantwhy does the phrase “if mama aint happy aint nobody happy” have the ring of a simple, somewhat humorous truth, while the inverse, “if Dad isn’t happy aint nobody happy” sound like a vaguely dangerous threat’?
is it because women are actually in control and claiming victimhood at the same time. as us jews learned many years ago, the narrative of victimhood is a very powerful one.
the next oppressed group may actually justbe the poor white aging population ( least if their rapidly increasing mortality figures means anything):
Participantwhat about this whole “women earn .78 on the dollar earned by men” stuff? That seems to be the primary rallying cry about the obvious sexism in America.
Except it’s not as simple as that, obviously, since we all probbably know in most work situations the guys aren’t getting paid a third more than women int he same jobs, or generally rapidly being promoted over women. there’d be more lawsuits if it were that obvious.
it seems commensensical that it’s got to be a complex issue, just liek our lives are complex. and that it’s not just sexist or downright misogynistic employers who are shortchanging women.
no it’s life choices, career choices, taking time off and out of the workplace, etc. not “sexism” per se.
You could argue that the whole system is sexist, that there should be mroe time off, that people shouldnt be punished careerwise for dropping out, that men should drop out to do chilcare in equal numbers as women…
well, maybe. maybe systemic changes would have unintended consequences that punished other groups. but i dont think systemic changes would change who we are deep down.
as to child care, in my limited experience, women who have babies that they dont want to put in childcare are not likely to be satsified by their husbands staying home with them. they a re literally dying to get out of work an d be with their baby. i don’t see the same phenomenon among men. men tend to be happy to drop the little guys off at day care and pick them up later. they dont pine to be with them all day long. they dont drive themselves nuts with worry.
im speaking in generalities of course. but im not persuaded that men have the same hormonal drive to be with that baby nor care in the same way for it. not that they cannot do the work, or don’t like doing the work, or that they dont love their kids; id estimate ive changed the same or more diapers than my wife, due to her work schedule
it’s just, men, they are not similarly powefully hormonally driven to be with that baby 24/7. while I see women quit their jobs with little regret to spend to be with the little one. I doubt most on track successful career guys, or even a small sprinkling of them, would feel regretfree about such a choice.
you can argue to me all day till youre blue int he face that society made the guys that way, that women were socialized to care for babies ina million different ways, beginnign with being forced to use pink paper, but I am not buying it. and im pretty progressive, generally.
men can care for babies, rhonda rousey can obviously kick my ass in a few short seconds, but push comes to shove, women love babies ina way that men dont. it could be evlutionary, that women have more invested in the offspring than men do, who knows. but i cannot ignore the reality ive seen in the last half century on earth.
is that “sexist”
i think yeah. women have utueruses. is that sexist to say? they are filled with strange and different hormones. sexist again. they’re different. it might be a blessing, it might be a curse, but a woman is just not a man.
ParticipantIf boys and girls are essentially the same, then more masculine guys would have no advantage in courting females. Hmm…that seems contrary to my lived experience.
ParticipantFyi. Pink actually is THE power color for men’s ties.

Participant[quote=CA renter][quote=FlyerInHi]You make some good point CAr. I have to think about some is them.
Relating to real estate, a girly house for a single straight man is a definite no no. A girly old fashioned house means he’s a mama’s boy.
A man is expected to have a messy house or an awesome modem bachelor pad. The same bachelor pad for a woman means power.
Sexist maybe. Misoginistic no.[/quote]
Sexism and misogyny are different, but related. For many people, sexism justifies their misogynistic behaviors and beliefs.
Thank you for the kind words, too, Brian. I don’t expect people to blindly believe what I’m saying. The goal is to get people to open their eyes and minds a bit to see if they notice the same things in their own lives. Once you become aware of it, you begin to notice how pervasive it is.
Back when my husband and I first got together, he thought I was full of it, too. Now, after having three daughters and living with me pointing things out to him, he’s become one of the greatest feminists around. The way girls and women are treated in our society really makes him angry. Once you start to look for it, it’s overwhelming, but these behaviors and beliefs are so much a part of our human existence, most people don’t even notice the depth and breadth of it. It’s more systemic than racism (also note how women obtained the right to vote and own property after black people did), is more global, and has a much longer history, so people excuse it as being “normal” or “natural.”[/quote]
Dare mr. Car disagree?
I can tell you this. Things go a lot smoother when we agree with Mrs scaredy. As they say, you can be right. Or you can be married. But you can’t be both. I think that advice is generally understood to be directed at males attempting to argue with females.
ParticipantYomama so fat her butt cheeks are in separate zip codes.
ParticipantMy mama is so beautiful, the gods weep when they see her.

ParticipantAn activity, golf, watching other dudes play football, is not inherently male. But it served some function where men could group together away from women. Now that women are more rabid football fans, another activity must be found to separate away.
