OK, I find this very interesting. If someone doesn't find misogynist humour to be funny, they have to be either a woman, gay, or French. You know, whenever I come to the conclusion that you guys are a bunch of assholes, you just give me more confirmation that my assessment is correct. Well, guys, you can continue your conversation about how you are all superior to women. Those of us with functioning dicks will move on to some other conversation.

So are you a man or a woman?

And you'd probably be best if you stopped while you're behind. You're only making yourself to be even more laughable.

I'm not remotely sexist but I can at least make (and take) a joke regarding gender, race, and even (look out!) religion. Get over it! I don't know how you live without getting your feelings or tender sensibilities hurt on a daily basis.

Or you could just leave, since you're the rare breed amongst us Mongoloids.

im not one to insult the opposite sex but come on. in many ways women are still stuck in that mentality that guys have to sweat and work hard to get with them, in this day and age shouldnt the effort be split in half

If you dont want me to watch the game then i dont want to watch chick flicks with you.
If we go out for a date, shouldnt we pay half and half for our food.
If you think i should get in shape why dont you go to the gym with me.

so on and on and on.

want to see what females think of this aswell as guys.
It is called "having your cake and eating it "

I remember getting some great advice from a former manager of mine.

"treat everyone fairly, not equally."

Equally usually means identical, that one set of rules should apply to everyone. That's a stupid way to run things because everybody is different in skill sets and personality.

I think that's how most women want to be treated, which is a source of their hypocricy. They want to be treated with the same regard as the men, but none of the harshness that sometimes comes along with it. If one of my guys acts like an idiot, I tell them "stop being such a dumbass and do you job". I did that with a female worker of mine and she started crying and complained and said I was being uncessarily harsh because she's a female. On the contrary, I treated her EXACTLY how she asked to be treated, like one of the guys.

I think women need to organize with each other on what "female equality" means before they go out and march against guys.

you are getting the wrong impression about this thread. NONE of us in this thread had once said we were mean, cruel, or irrational to women. I can speak for myself and im sure many others here when i say that we ARE "nice" to them and "THANK GOD" for their existence(im thankful everyday for my Fiance and my Mother).

what we ARE saying is that women ask for equality, but dont give the same in return. Whats wrong with that picture? I.E like someone said already here: If you're able to watch chick flicks with your spouse and not enjoy them(im sure some of us may have enjoyed one or two though) while watching it and in return we just ask that you sit there with us and watch the game one day and you choose not to. Is that equal? Or another example like the tab split in half thing where the woman is definitely going on and on about how "INDEPENDENT" she is, yet when it comes down to a date why does she still see that the man should pay COMPLETELY? Isnt equality supposed to be 50/50? ESPECIALLY when you are independent and dont NEED anything?


you speak of doing hair, nails, smelling good, periods, child birth, "pumping every hole like a starving animal", yet i can honestly say the same about myself.. i shower and keep up with hygiene, i put on cologne, through the periods and child birth are we NOT the ones "suffering" too? We have to slave at work while theyre pregnent for 9 months and then come home and make sure shes HAPPY. Happy meaning, feed(even sometimes having to go out of your way and weird times to find her EXACTLY what shes craving for), emotionally happy, spiritually, and physically happy with herself also. Now, dont get me wrong-i am not saying that it is not worth it to go out of your way for your wife/spouse/girlfriend, but if you are a girl asking for equality-i think we MORE than give equal to the table. Also, as far as the periods are concerned, i can say we also sometimes have to deal with the change in moods, and about pumping every hole like a starving animal? Just remember you cant "pump" those that are not "willing"

i rest my case.

In almost every conversation I have had with a female on this subject, it ALWAYS gets side tracked into something else ( Sexist man talk) It gets to the point where one just says they just see things different from some men point of view. I am strongly for women equality but women , have to clearly define what that means and translates to plain common English, so we men fully comprehend what that means.

Example, would be in cases of divorce, management etc. Should a man cry at work as well when things are going bad at work?? etc.

I agree that everyone should be treated fairly, but not necessarily the same. It makes sense in a lot of situations.

With regards to your last paragraph, the difficulty in organizing has been precisely that - women are a diverse group and as a result will have differing priorities. But you're mistaken if you think being a feminist automatically means "marching against guys." Guys can be feminists too you know. In fact many of them are and either have no idea, or don't want to use the "f" word to describe themselves.

As far as paying the bill goes, I don't get the big deal.

Some women won't date guys who won't pay the bills.

I don't date chicks that won't split the tab.

Seems fair to me I don't associate with the types I don't hang out with anyway, so why stress over it.
