Wait...... Did I just see someone question why it isn't OK to hit women????? Ever hear of picking on someone your own size?? In general Women are physically weaker than Men. Is it Ok for the big guy to only pick fights with the little guy? I have never seen a bully pick on a woman more physically fit than he is. Everyone knows that bullies are cowards anyway. Anyone who resorts to violence is a loser and just because a woman may slap you, doesn't make it OK to hit back. Simply be the bigger person and walk away.
As for me "putting women on a pedestal"... it was a figure of speech. I do not worship women with blind abandon. I respect anyone who deserves it male or female. I am not such a slave to my hormones that a pretty female will turn my head around backwards so that I will fall over myself in trying to please her. At the same time, I will be a gentleman in all my dealings with women. The measure of respect a man gives others is a reflection on his personal graces. There is nothing wrong with treating a lady with respect. If she choses to dishonor it, the reflection is on her, and not on the one who showed her respect. Given your attitude, I wonder how you treat your mother?

But is this thread really about that? Girls are girls, Women are Women. There's a difference. In this country, in both sexes, adolescence is stretched to the age of 35. We have poor education, territorial mindsets, we have all kinds of divisive prejudices, and both are guilty. Therein lies the crux of this whole argument and how stupid it really is. We should be working to better ourselves and by extension each other. Instead we are attempting to subvert each other into subservience, we are repeating the mistakes of sexual subjugation under misguided cries of "oppression" by the hand of some elusive female authoritarian. It is paranoia, it is a fear of equality not the embrace of it that drives this debate so far.
Your heart and it's insignificant pains are of little consequence to the real issue here.

I said that I put women on a pedestal to look up their skirts. Did you even read my post? It was a very obvious joke. If you place a different meaning to it, that that is YOUR doing and YOUR impression. In no way does it mean that I worship women whom I do not think myself worthy of. That is just silly.

OH come on. Blame the president. Blame women. Blame anybody but yourself. A Real man takes responsibility for his reality. No one can take anything from you if you are centered in your self. in others words: MAN UP!

I AM taking responsibility for my reality, THAT'S WHY I'M BRING ATTENTION TO THIS TAKEOVER. I blame women because its a feminists takeover (duh). I blame the President because he got his arm twisted by Hillary and traded us out. She didn't make President and soon after she got a panel of feminists together to campaign against him and all men. They twisted his arm and she became Sec. of state. ..and now THIS. You (if a man at all) are a coward and are a pawn and are also a sellout. In the face of reality (yours) you cower and take the side of the enemy. I am MANNING UP by confronting this...you need to MAN up or shut up for you will lose everything to these feminists if you don't realize what they are doing. It is so easy to just sit back (like you have chose to do) and blow it off and insult, than it is to face an apparent enemy to man. YOU MAN UP!. BTW, I can't take responsibility to a design for my life that an organization of the government is creating for you and I. I AM however speaking out about it and will chose to do more, instead of sitting around like you with my head in the sand saying that it isn't happening....look around, the evidence is everywhere. Don't just insult and sit back and say MAN UP, that is easy, go do research and know the real truth, the truth that women are riding the backs of outdated history to gain present day wealth and influence. You are a sellout to man as well.

I don't understand what the big fuss is all about. I always place women on a pedestal. OK, so perhaps it makes it easier to look up their skirts, but seriously, my mother was a woman and as they are the only ones who can nurture a life within them, they deserve a bit of special attention.
That being said, do not make the mistake of thinking that Men and Women are equal. It is a lie. Men and women are DIFFERENT, but should have equal rights. That goes both ways and the court system needs some work in that respect.
For the fool that stated that Men are ALWAYS responsible for their actions.... Nonsense! I know plenty of men who are total idiots and treat women like dirt for no other reason than their own small and fragile egos. I seriously suspect that the OP has insecurity issues if he is truly afraid of women today. There is nothing more glorious than a strong and confidant woman by your side.... or whatever position you prefer.
The truth is that women hold up half the sky, but get less than half the pay for twice the work. Think that isn't true??? Take a step outside the industrialized world and see for yourself. The go tell your mother that she is a lesser person than you are.

I have said it several times, even recently about feminists taking all that we men have and claiming they are getting nothing. Here they are with their own Women's council now, THANKS OBAMA, YOU SELLOUT! Look back through all of my posts and know that all of the arguments I had with feminists were founded on reality and that I was right. Look at what Obama just did for these women ...(who get nothing...[laughs]) and notice that MEN are no part of this. They are taking everything from us men and getting away with it because we are letting them. They cry and we buy. Wake up men....women are far more of a threat than any UFO.Look for yourselves online at the patterns evolving, ..OH, and don't argue with a feminist..you will get nowhere. It's all about THEM apparently. Women's plight by butt. It has just turned into Men's plight look and weep men.
