    Ad hominen attacks are the last bastion of a position that cannot withstand scrutiny :wink:

    Pretty sure he replied to me as well, but I see no reason to click "View Post". He has after all been dismissed.:nana:

    In other words: you know he's right and are now covering your ears and hollering, "LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-I CAN'T HEAR YOU! LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!" It would be funny if it weren't pathetic.

    I love it!!! Feminists have tried every trick in their book, ad hominen, lying, damselling and now that they're out of options they resort to their one tried and true tactic of all-time anti-intellectualism.

    Anti-intellectualism is probably why feminist theories get more and more bizarre every day. I mean if you ban dissent, there's no one to tell you how ridiculous you are. For example, feminists are trying to pass a law to force men to pee sitting down-lol. It would be funny if it weren't true. Oh well, it's funny even though it's true-lol :roflol:

    Considering in order for him to be right I would need to be incorrect about who I am, as well as what I believe and it is likely no one knows me better than me.....I do not think so. We also have the simple fact that YOU have no reason to step into this other than to submit your rather childish opinion and feel you have created some kind of profound insult. If your intent is to tempt me into an exchange of unpleasantry...I would recommend you be careful what you wish for.

    I cannot really speak from experience, but I am certain a single father or a recently divorced man can cite some examples of how feminism (women having more rights then men) has negatively impacted their lives.

    Things always look different according to which side of the fence you are on.

    You are in the wrong topic. The discussion is about feminism.
    Feminism has nothing to do with women and respect.
    Feminism is a blunt political tool, used by backstage fascist government.

    A friend of mine has a daughter.

    His pregnant ex-girlfriend attempts to leave the state before being served papers. My friend had to find someone to lie about buying a piece of property to get her here in the state to serve her the papers. He then had to go through court drama to see his daughter, he say her the day she was born and not again for six months. Despite paying child support the entire time, he was barred from seeing her because he had not attended parenting classes. His first three months of visits were supervised, and of course the mother did not have to go through any of this. She simply had the kid and started collecting child support the day the paternity test came back with a positive. So why does the mother have more right than the father?

    My mom is cheating on dad. He does nothing about it because he knows that the property and personal belongs will be split and he will have to pay alimony. Why does divorce automatically work against men?

    The Marines have lower standards for female recruits than male recruits. If anyone, regardless of sex, in unable to pass the requirements, why are they even considered for the position?

    Fire departments often have lower standards for females than males. If anyone, regardless of sex, is unable to pass the requirement, why are they even considered for the position?

    There is nothing wrong with equal rights, however feminism is not about equal rights. It is about giving women more rights than men, it is just reverse sexism. Just as affirmative action is reverse racism.

    Everyone ought to be treated equally. Feminism has simply gone beyond equality and has demanded more rights one sex than the other.

    I do not for a moment believe that feminists want equal rights.

    Though I understand your opinion on the feminist movement, I disagree with it. Over the last several decades females have been denegrated to a lower status because of gender, and males have benefited in society here because of it. allowing this to fade into history does not mean we favor one gender over the other...it is simply removing a bias that seems unacceptable to more than half the population (when enlightened males are considered), and forwards a continuation of such stupidity.

    The only reason you might feel I am in "the wrong topic", would seem to be that you do not like my interpretation of it. You are most welcome to opinion...it does not effect mine.

    Over the last several decades women were beneficiary of federal male discrimination.
    That is an official. If someone feel denegrated I have nothing to do with it.

    Source Please

    Oh wait, I forgot. You don't have a source because feminism is not supported by proof. It's discredited by proof.

    Please show this federally mandated discrimination with something other than opinion. You can "Feel" whatever you wish...but your feelings are not reality

    Sure...no problem, but it doesn't support your beliefs so you might as well ignore it-eh???-LOL :roll: Ignorance: the last bastion of a position that cannot withstand scrutiny-LOL :roll:

    The College Affirmative Action Plan and programs are established in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Federal Office of Contract Compliance Programs, Federal Executive Order 11246, Rehabilitation Act Section 503, Governor's Executive Order 93-07 Affirming Commitment to Diversity and Equity, Re-establishing Affirmative Action and Prohibiting Discrimination, Governor's Executive Orders 89.01, 96-04 and 98-01, RCW 28 B.10, 39.19, 41.06, 49.60, and 49.74. Consistent with Federal and State law, the plan provides for equal opportunity and non-discrimination in all aspects of college employment regardless of protected group status: race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or veteran status.

    The same way you haven't walked in my shoes to have known the discrimination as a woman that I have encountered.

    You cite various examples of men being treated unequally, yet I could be here all day with examples myself.

    I glean from this forum that women are still being referred to as 'sluts' and 'whores' by some men on the forum, and of course, in the wider world. So do men want the equality to be DENIGRATED in this very same way?

    Do men want the equality to be raped to the violent and horrific extent that women are raped?

    A female Australian prime minister is denigrated sexually in the most vulgar way - to an extent where never in the history of Australian politics, has a male prime minister EVER being targeted in such sexist terms.

    A female newsreader and her male counterpart -- the female is told by management she must dye her hair while the male counterpart with the same amount of grey hair --- is left alone.

    Another female newsreader -- where the CEO said he would 'bone her'.

    Clearly men weren't complaining in this way some 50 years ago... when the domain was entirely their's... and women were kept out of the public domain altogether. Women have fought to pursue their own individual lives --- against the backdrop of a dingy history where women were kept out of jobs and learning and the public sphere altogether.

    In years gone by I was castigated by silly men and women too as to why I didn't have children. In years gone by I was doing the same work as a man in my company -- and doing more work on top of that -- and paid a pittance in comparison.

    In years gone by bright intelligent women were dissuaded from pursuing careers. Or told the field was really either just nursing and teaching -- of which those jobs were very poorly paid then -- because those jobs were filled by women.

    In the same way you cite examples -- I could fill a book where I've known women who've been bashed, left holding the baby while the man runs off, where men have been unfaithful to their wives and on.

    In the days before 'no-fault' divorce in Australia, a woman had to go to court to prove she was being mistreated in a marriage. Abusive men are known for sometimes having a 'charming' front. Who could charm their way through a court proceeding. Leaving the woman at the mercy of further abuse and unable to get our of an abusive marriage.

    Jobs for the boys. I've seen that in a number of organisations. The men in senior positions recruit their 'buddies'.

    I've been around this forum enough years to see a particular strain of highly nasty and derogatory rhetoric directed at women. Yet I don't see women on this forum going off at men in quite that way -- if at all. So WHERE exactly is the equality in that?

    Do men want the equality to have derisive sexist things said of them? Do they want the equality to be raped at the rate that women are raped by men? Do they want the equality to get pregnant and then be on the receiving end of LOONIES who vilify them over their choices?

    Perhaps men want the equality to be called 'sluts', 'whores'. Perhaps they want the equality to be referred to as Nazis as feminists are.

    What in the world are you babbling about?! Taikoo posted a simple, declarative statement, to wit: "women ARE NOT officially recognized by the government as mentally and physically challenged people." This is, clearly, obviously, and provably FALSE!

    The term, "feminazi" is a term that's not only more than fair, it's more than accurate

    lol, yes, men are never insulted.

    Yeah, I am not even remotely interested in the victim game. Everyone is treated like (*)(*)(*)(*) at some point or another, however, not everyone makes a political movement to be more equal then their counterparts.

    Whatever you happen to be remotely interested in, is what you are interested in from a male perspective...

    The same way that what interests me comes out of a female perspective.

    You read it how you wish.
