Women are feeling neglected, used, and unappreciated by men. We treat them like they are tools for pleasure, like a pet dog. When we want attention we call it, we pay attention to it. But when we want to do things for ourselves we neglect them and we push them away. We're cowards, we aren't men.
Men have become slaves to their pride, we have become like little boys afraid to express real feelings with reason. What really makes a man? What really makes a man is our ability to be noble, to be gentlemen, to be the protectors of wisdom and strength.
But now look at us, we've become so self centered that we can't even recognize how far we have fallen as a species, we can't even stop arguing about each others opinions enough to see it. We've failed ourselves and we're too damn ignorant to change.
It's because we lack roll models and we're not pushing ourselves to become new ones. All it takes is an apology whether to someone else or yourself but people are too full of bitterness to see it.

You know why women are becoming feminist? You really want the truth? It's going to hurt I promise you.

Might be. But a person is responsible for their own feelings. They might be warranted, they might not be. Men are not fully responsible for a woman's feelings. If she feels neglected when she wants a $100.000 car, but he only has a minimum wage, that is HER problem. Not his. Women need to detach themselves from things like materialism, and then maybe, they will be appreciated more. Not saying all women are materialists. It's an example, but generally, women should definitely lower their expectations. They're buying too much into romanticized concepts by movies, and those things are destructive.

How exactly? Again, a woman is responsible for her own body. And how many women have a dream to be models and to look like barbie and so on? If they buy into these beliefs, it's their responsibility. You can not dress like a hooker, and expect to be treated respectfully. If you want something, you have to do something for it. You're not going to get it just because you were born with a vagina. And you'll be surprised how many women actually LIKE being treated this way...

Well, maybe we push them away because they are being unsupportive of our dreams. Maybe they want us to do everything for them and neglect our own needs and desires, and well, it doesn't work that way. You have to give to receive.

We hide our pains and feelings because since we were little, we're not allowed to express them. We're not allowed to cry, we're told to sit down and shut up rather than to be active and adventurous like most boys are. If you do any of these things they put you on ritalin. It has nothing to do with pride. It has to do with self-protection, because most men have learned since they were children, that expressing their feelings is followed by being punished. The opposite of women and girls. If she plays the victim she gets what she wants, if he does, he gets ridiculed. So it's no miracle that women have become professional victim players, while men seem cold and non-caring. Men care, a lot. But now, caring for women has become almost synonymous with losing your children and everything you worked for. So now, men become more distant and don't want anything to do with women. So if the things you mention are the causes that women join feminism, they need to think a little, and understand that they are only making things worse.

I agree with most of this, but, what do you mean by 'tame' ourselves? For some reason it sounds like you're insinuating that we're inherently evil, and supposed to become more like women. Men are not evil, and are not supposed to be like women.

Yep. And this applies to both men AND women.

Role models is the stuff that gets us messed up. Looking for role models is giving your power away. This is why there are people that want to be like Kim Kardashian. This is why so many people claim to be feminists without looking anything up of it. This is why people are manipulated into supporting wars, ignoring injustice, hating each other and so on. The main role model has become television, and there is no greater role model than that today. We need to stop the idea of needing role models, and instead we have to start thinking for ourselves. We need to see ourselves as our own role models, develop our own qualities. Determining what is right for us in our lives, without negatively impacting the ones of others, is what will bring humanity to light. We are all unique yet equal. We are all made the same, but we have a different perspective than everyone else. And this perspective is where our needs and paths will be different from each other, which means a certain role model will never fit our own lives. We must invest in ourselves... We must respect our freedom to choose...;

Have you considered that humans aren't actually monogamous?

oh that must by why I am so screwed up! my hubby has the tv on all night playing video games so I have no role models to look up to!
10/1 most of the problems men and women are having today can be traced back to one thing-- sex--- and their desire to get it with no strings attached! the more partners the marrier, we'll decide if we like each other tomorrow!

Seriously, you guys are the biggest losers on the face of the earth. You have to run away crying because women, who are physically weaker, make less money, are discriminated against in many ways, and live in constant fear of you, are being bullies? GROW THE # UP.
Here is the reality: in general women are much better human beings than you by almost any measure. You should be spending your days loving them with all your heart while learning from them and treasuring the roles they play in your lives.
Sincerely,
A Man.
Wow, this is the kind of slipper wearing man some poor woman will one day fall in love with and realize that her life has amounted to a series of flannel pajamas and missionary sex position only!!
Naive
Cheating is pretty much equally prevalent in both genders. The fact that it's so hard for either gender to remain faithful should make us question the idea of monogamy in humans. To say that only men are not, well, there's not really any evidence to support that statement, and aside from that, it comes from the same anti-male idea that women are better than men. So here's some statistics.

humans or men?? Because monogamy was enforced to the extreme on women throughout the ages.
Uh... You think a life of perpetual slavery is adequate? Especially after the mother themselves demonize the father since they can extort the man through the government anyway, it's simply an abomination. Especially after they were the ones that were careless with getting pregnant.
originally posted by: dawnstarAnd well one has to consider that the loosening of those extremes is the main reason why I find so many men on these boards complaining about how they are getting zapped for child support on kids they claim is not their own.
Well, it makes sense, because, in modern day life kids cost money. Obviously, men want sex, but only women can get pregnant. So, it's the women's responsibility to be the limiting factor. In the end, if you're allergic to peanuts, and you go to restaurants regularly, and one day you get an allergic reaction, you can't expect to randomly blame restaurants because they didn't take care of the peanuts for you. You can't enslave the restaurant for the rest of your life because you were not careful enough with your food. Since women have the 'problem' of being able to get pregnant, it's up to them to protect themselves.

For some reasons I think what the guys want is for them to be allowed to live a non-monogamous relationship but they still want the assurance that those they think are their kids are indeed their kids so they would rather the women still had their freedoms limited.
And well sorry but what is good for the goose is also good for the gander!
