It's mind boggling how a person can actually think this is true.

Absolutely ****ing ********.

We live in a patriarchy. This is not a statement of opinion.

Indubitably, women are not treated as equals in American society--and it might be possible to say that this reigns true in every modern society.

How absurd is it to claim that there is a war against men, when in America, women, on average, are paid 77 cents for every man's dollar in equivalent positions? And how, when an American state passes a law sanctioning medically unnecessary transvaginal ultrasounds, while Viagra is still covered by medical insurance, can you claim there is a war against men? The "article" is based off of gender stereotypes, false dichotomies, and an utter disregard for the large percentage of people in America who are non-straight and non-gender-binary.

"Women aren't women anymore." What kind of misogynistic crap is this? I take it the lovely human beings at this pseudo-news station would like every woman to go back into the kitchen and make sandwiches for the husbands who picked them up and threw them over their shoulders? As if.

This is heinous, deplorable, asinine bullcrap, straight from the dysenteried rectum of a rabid, stupid, and male-chauvinistic Chihuahua. For ****s sake, how can anyone take this "news" station seriously?

Yes drag them

But why was this reported?

Good post.

Meh. Tl;dr, sounds stupid, anyway.

You've got the gist of it.

That still was no excuse to for her to turn into a complete psycho and ban her from seeing HIS kids, trying to make sure he got nothing out of the divorce and basically trying to ruin his life. Nobody knew what was in his head, and the girl certainly had no right to try to destroy every aspect of his life.

Like I said, nobody understood what was going through his mind - for the most part, he continually believed he was a straight man and couldn't admit it. It's a serious psychological disorder and shouldn't be bashed upon when there are MANY people in that posistion around the world. I honestly don't know how you can say he deserved to get **** on.

I agree. It was a ****** example.
Well I think that's because you were already so screwed up You never really had a chance, do you think hearing raving feminists really caused that? No, it's because you lived around religious nuts and closet cases and never had real friends.

Okay, but number one, I didn't say I agreed with that consequence of sexism, and number two, what difference does it make? It's not like there's ONE guy that's the oppressor and everybody else just does what he says. What kind of circular logic?

Nope. Gender roles existed for a reason in Marriage. I'm not saying that the current dynamic is BAD, but it is definitely different. The author of the column was talking about how to get back to the previous culture of marriage.

FOX isn't insinuating anything nutsos omg you're all reading too much into it just to understand what you want based on that FOX and Republicans are friends therefore they're both always being mysogynistic

She's basically saying men aren't willing to tie themselves down because they don't feel dominant anymore (which, being male, is a bit true). Dominance isn't the same thing as oppression though, there always has to be a leader but that doesn't mean there needs to be a housewife in the kitchen, it just means there's an authority. There can be authority and equality, sometimes they go hand in hand.

This article is interesting and there are a few topics I agree with, based on a logical standpoint, not whether it SOUNDS like something i'd normally disagree with. Grow up and actually read something without a biased mindset, please.

It has nothing to do with preconceived notions or biased mindsets. There's no logic to be found in the "article." Just a bunch of illogic based off of gender stereotypes, and the oh-so-typically conservative concept that all tradition is good tradition (argumentum ad antiquitam). It seems to take issue with the fact that women are actually moving along the arduous road to equality in such a stark patriarchy.

It's nice that you feel the need to resort to argumentum ad hominem when you realize you're not making any sense, and that your mindset is straight out of the 19th century.

I wholly disagree, but that's an argument for another thread.

(I find myself saying this quite often, but -- this is yet another issue with the gender binary.)

Given the length of human existence, not only historically but pre-historically, and the breath of human traditions across the many diverse cultures that have developed on planet Earth, anyone making claims that one specific set of traditions covering a short time span (centuries is that, a short time span) is an abject moron and should not be listened to.

WTF do you mean there always has to be a leader? Leader of what, exactly? What relationship can be equal when someone designates themselves the "leader"? Your post is as full of BS as the article in the OP (which is not surprising, since you agree with it).

to Cole for schooling these idiots on sexism.

There can be authority and equality in a dream world. But throughout history people have shown time and time again that clearly isn't possible.
