    Explain how the so called movement online does this.

    Feminists do not fight for equality period they fight for oppression of men and elevation of women at trhe expense of men.

    No matter how you try to spin it this is blatent hypocrasy if they CLAIM to support equal rights.

    Any manes rights movement of ANY TYPE is instantly labeled misogynistic so in your wisdom what constitutes a sensible one?

    You are out of touch concerning feminists they are relevant and growing in power.

    I was typing a reply and saw this which was saying a lot of what I was going to.

    I'll add a bit to it.

    Physical changes aren't the only possible effect. There are psychological changes that can happen as well(can, not always do).

    After a pregnancy is over and assuming the woman kept the baby, women are responsible for the same things that men are.

    Women are rarely able to put a child up for adoption if the biological father is willing to take custody. The courts in most cases are not going to allow the mother to do that if the father is not unfit or unable to care for it. The state has an interest in that happening anyway because a child with a parent/guardian is less likely to become a ward of the state.

    This topic is the very reason only idiots, predators, and ill-informed persons will continue the gene-pool on this planet.

    The carefull and forewarned will eventually become privy to consequence and find alternate methods of self-preservation, company and comfort.

    This planet will become overrun with those who are reckless and mitigate their lives without thought. Those that simply give-in to their temporal urges, desires, and whims. The arteries on both sides of this sword become victim to bleeding out the very life-blood that makes us human.

    If both genders regard themselves' as victims in the battlefield of equality/inequality, then it becomes a war of definitions rather than a war of rights. Equality by definition could be determined as civil liberties. Equality by perception could be difined as 'who is victim'. On the grand stage there is a perception that the show must go on but in daily life settings there are expectations that must be met, lives to be lived, dreams to be realized, fantasies to be filled, and limited time to accomplish all .

    The adverse effect of not equalling your own strengths is crippling. To argue against them is detrimental. To ignore them is devastating.

    Limitations are not dictated by law but rather what we make of them. Boundaries are not forged by definition but rather how we choose to navigate them.

    Feel victimized? Sadly it's the view from your own window.

    Speaking of sad views from a window!


    Your thesis is based on this IF, which will never come to be. Some losers of both genders will see things this way, and for the worse for them.

    I've been viciously victimized my men, but Im doing fine now, and then are not. "Refuse to e victim" may be an NRA slogan, but, its a good one for all of us.

    Man, it amazes me how many forum goers don't know how to remove an extra name that was quoted accidentally which causes this weird quote tree to appear.

    So instead of this:

    lmao, who said I was a feminist? Quick to judge aren't you?

    But yeah, I did tell you how to do it. You remove the extra name in the quote and make sure you're quoting the right person. I wasn't trying to be haughty or anything, I was just pointing out that a lot of forum goers seem to have this problem as do many of my friends on here. lol

    It takes so very little to know more than some people its like damning oneself with faint praise to even mention it.

    Except when you go out of your way to say you make more money than I even though you're a student and the money you're claiming you make is the money your parents earned :wink:

    Well maybe I was quick to judge, but your comment did seem like the typical supremacy of a female supremacist.

    I'm not criticizing you, but ironically I re-read your post and the quote you attributed to above alpha was actually my quote. It is my understanding since VAWA a man automatically goes to prison if his significant other calls the police.

    If I was a female supremacist as you describe here I probably wouldn't be the type of person to be shacking up with an inferior man...but I am and we are engaged to be married in fact. lol

    As I described in another thread I have already seen the prejudices and problems involving male and female relationships and the real issues if they are married and of course the way the legal system works. I have a first hand experience facing my parents and all the BS they put me and my brother through because they literally despised and hated each other.

    I sympathize for both men and women in such situations and wish there were better legal ways of dealing with them. I don't deny that men and women are very different either, both physically, mentally and emotionally and all of these things need to be taken into account when considering violence and abuse in a relationship.

    Most women I find lash out at their partners in manipulative and emotional ways while men tend to lash out at their partners more physically. This was the case with both of my parents.

    And I am fully aware of the prejudices of the court system towards men. My dad told me when I asked him why he didn't even attempt to fight for custody for us in court, it was because his lawyer flat out told him that he'd be wasting his time and money as he had little to no chance at winning. Sad really, custody disputes, if they cannot be decided peacefully between the parents, the courts should really just split them 50/50. Unfortunately my dad liked to threaten and point guns at my mom, so you know, she was terrified of living near him. We actually went into hiding and my dad told her he drove around looking for her car in random apartment complexes around the city once. Creepy right? That whole thing, it was just a sad, pathetic mess and I am just happy it's over with and far away in the past.

    People like my dad are the kinds of men who have made it much harder for sane and perfectly functional fathers to have any kind of fair fight in the justice system.

    So yeah, I dunno, I am an equalist to an extent but I am not exactly equipped with all the answers on how to deal with the problems of spousal abuse between either partner (man or woman) and how to fix our justice systems to reflect more fairness especially considering a case like my parents where physical violence, threats, mental and emotional abuse, and manipulation was extremely prevalent between them. Let me just tell you though it is a whole lot easier to prove physical abuse than it is to prove mental abuse and manipulation, this is an unfortunate fact of life.

    So you believe the man you're marrying is, "inferior."

    I know sarcasm is hard to read on the Internet, but really, give me a break.

    These are just two excerpts of some of the ugly mean things Taikoo gets away with in her posts, but keep on damselling anyways I'm sure it's going to pay off :roll: :

    "When I went to Alaska, there were stories of the gold rush.

    One was about people boating down the Yukon, and how a woman on one of the craft fell into the river.

    Her guy was trying to get his boat over to her , but someone else dived in and saved her, getting her into his boat. Guy number one was then able to maneuver his boat alongside

    She jumped back into his boat... grabbed her things, went back to the boat with the guy who saved her.

    I see Above A presenting as guy number 2. Our whiners here, as the guy who lost.*

    At a time like that, considerations of "equality" and "rights" have no meaning. If it had been me, Id have done the same, and the man who rescued me would get his reward, times over. No matter if he had not shaved or bathed in weeks. Hero vs wimp, hero wins.

    Some time later, I would start thinking about what I could do with this raw material, if I could make him into something that could be civilized.

    *Our loser would have, if he was smart, headed back upriver at that point. People are still telling the story, and it would have spread down the river faster than a raven could fly. "Oh, you are the guy who...!" Smirks, fingers pointing. He could only go home, hoping the story would never get back there.

    Doesnt matter if she was his sister, or the meanest woman north of the 48th parallel.

    He was still exposed in the eyes of all as a non-man, a loser.

    Here, our losers seek out a women's rights forum to expose themselves.

    I guess he did, probably too bad all around.
    Id rather be tenth wife of a good man than be touched by any of the lunks posting here.
