Guest Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Men need to change their way of life. We need to go back to days when men were men. You mean like when women were property of men? When smacking your wife around was socially acceptable? When a woman would be shunned from society if she left her man, or cheated, while the man would essentially be able to move on unscathed if he did the same? It sounds more to me like men cannot deal with the fact that they don't hold all the cards anymore. Without total control, they want to run from a bad situation. Burn before they get burned, now that women can make the same decisions as a man in a relationship. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Simons Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Sigmund Freud once said that the one thing he COULD NOT figure out after decades of studying people and their problems is this: What a woman wants. Guys better be castrated by a man rather than by "pussies walking around masquerading as men". Link to post Share on other sites

SmoochieFace Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Sigmund Freud once said that the one thing he COULD NOT figure out after decades of studying people and their problems is this: What a woman wants. That's because men are, in general, RATIONAL and women are, in general, IRRATIONAL. IRRATIONAL and CONTRADICTORY. Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Not all men. I fought extremely hard to keep my relationship going with my ex for two years. In the end, I still lost, but at least I can move on knowing I gave it everything I had. Same here. Not all men give up easily. If it gets to the point where you know deep down in your heart that there is no way that the relationhip will not last, then it is only best to end the relationship. Even though the relationship is over, you still take something from it. It is a lesson in life and it helps you figure out what you are looking for in a future mate. Link to post Share on other sites
monkey00 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 We need to go back to days when men were men. you're asking for the impossible to happen. The days of courtship (as they once were), arranged marriages, oppressed women are over. Society has changed (for the better or worse) depending how you look at it. Women apparently has adapted rather quickly and well to the new laws and rules of societial expectations. some men on the other hand...have adapted, while those still struggling are left in the dust With any kind of change, comes the good and bad. In today's society we get the best of both worlds. depending on which direction you take these changes is up to you.... complaining does nothing. taking action does. Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Maybe the problem is that some men are becoming intinidated by the change in women. Back in the day women were always thought of to stay home, watch the kids, do all the house chores, and be dependent on the husband. Society has changed. Not all women are dependent on their husbands anymore and they are going out into the workforce and competing with males. Link to post Share on other sites

That would be an additional responsibility for me and I already have enough of those, thank you. So, therefore, I am not *threatened* by any of these changes. Not one bit.

There are some guys in the world who don't like change and they act like that life is stuck in the 1950's. So they treat their women like how men treated them in the 50's.

Men side with feminists - Having good old-fashioned values like thinking men should be the breadwinners and the decision makers, and thinking women should raise the children and manage the home front, are condemned as damning to today's moral fabric. 4.

I agree with the first part of your response. Some men have no idea how to express themselves in the correct way. They only know how to physically dominate a women or make her feel inferior in order to feel like the bread winner/protector. Not all of us men are as bad as you make us out to be.

KittenMoon Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 There is nothing a woman or a man SHOULD be. There's social norms, which have obviously changed many times over thousands of years. Contrary to popular belief, when men were hunters they weren't the primary breadwinners- it was the women who gathered vegetables, roots, etc that contributed most of the diet. But hunting was dangerous, thusly the sex that could not reproduce did it. A few men could keep a tribe going, but a few women could not. Unfortunately, in many societies, oppression of women developed out of nothing more than an original intent to keep the breeding sex safe and alive to bear and raise the future generations. Now a days, everyone should have a choice of who they want to be, not a social norm dictating it. You wanna be a "traditional" man? Good luck with that, it's your choice. But don't put down a guy who can express himself, or who is emotional. And at the same time don't put down a women who shirks off the traditional role of the wife and mother- I certainly intend to follow my own path. I've never let and man or woman try to tell me otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites
lindya Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 My sexuality is something I intend to protect at all cost. Whilst you seem to be blaming modern women for your fear of "penis banditry", that irrationality has a long and illustrious history. http://www.shanmonster.com/witch/misogyny.html Now, excuse me whilst I just make myself comfortable on this ducking stool.
