i don't think that's what these gentlemen are saying. if i'm not mistaken, one of them is saying he doesn't like women but is pressured by society to get a woman.
deep down, at the very bottom of this issue, i see [other posters on this thread] saying that women, due to their traditional role in life (caretakers of home and hearth) have a tendency to expect men who they procreate with to act responsibly as regards them and their progeny. the guys on this thread who think it's a conspiracy, don't appear to like the arrangement because to them, it feels like a trap. if they must act responsibly, they won't be able to revolt when necessary or what have you.
i'm assuming, therefore, they feel as if the conspiracy is about women even being on the planet in the first place.
...there are nuts in both genders, I have never subscribed to the view that it's only men that commit crimes or beat people or even ruin lives, there are just as many women and because society as a whole sees them as the "weaker sex" they tend to get the breaks where men do not...
At bottom, men are hardwired for tomcatting and lighting out for the territory. It's a case of different evolutionary strategies for males and females due to the difference in the amount of time and energy each sex must dedicate to procreation. So what the men on this are griping about is nothing new or special - this is what all men, in their unreconstructed, apish longeurs, actually feel.
Don't want to start a revolution? blaming women for your lack of.. ahem. "motivation" is just cowardly. Whats even more pathetic is you guys are actually implying that if it weren't for this grand conspiracy you would be leading a revolt and be leading mankind into a new age?!
Sure you would.
..because the ruling elite are just that afraid of you
[edit on 9-4-2009 by riley]
What privileges? new makeup? It sounds like you guys are getting your info off television adds and not real life.. no-one is keeping me complacent and if I buy a pretty pair of shoes or smile sweetly it doesn't suddenly turn me into a weapon of the illuminati trying to enslave the male species.
There is also the possibilty that YOU are being brainwashed by the "ruling elite" into thinking women are being used against you to keep you down. What are you doing right now? Instead of fighting against the ruling elite themselves you are fighting against women who are meant to be just the middle men in their evil plot. Way to keep your eye on the ball there mate.

I am SOOOO glad you asked this question, you want to know what privileges I mean?
Let me enlighten you.
Women are 5 times more likely to be granted custody of children after a divorce
(Source: Current Population Reports, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Series P-20, No. 458)
Custodial mothers are 4 times more likely to receive support payment awards than custodial fathers.
(Technical Analysis Paper No. 42, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Income Security Policy)
Women are expected to be equally represented in high paying Corporate positions and government jobs, but are not expected to be equally represented in the Dangerous, and Hazardous jobs that are traditionally male only.
Women receive the Right to vote as men have, but are not expected to register for a military draft.
A woman can completely destroy a mans life just by claiming rape... even if it is later proven to be false, his life is still ruined.
In cases where the Man who was paying child support to a custodial mother, turns out NOT to be the biological father from DNA evidence, he must continue child support payments for a child that is not even his.
(Child Support Enforcement Amendments of 1984, P.L. 98-378, Section 18 as codified at 42 U.S.C. sec. 667)
Approximately 38% of all non custodial fathers have absolutely no visitation rights with their children.
(p.6, col.II, para. 6, lines 4 & 5, Census Bureau P-60, #173)
Non custodial mothers who are ordered to pay child support are twice as likely to default on payments than non custodial fathers who are ordered to pay child support.
(Technical Analysis Paper No. 42, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Income Security Policy)
A woman alone has the right to chose to carry a child to term, or to have an abortion, but a man has no right to Chose to be a parent in such a fashion.
Despite the push for "Modernity" of Gender relations, men are still expected to initiate relationships, as women seem to be incapable of such acts of "Equality".
You COULD argue with my above data... but you would have to take that up with the Department of Census, Health and Human Services, and Department of Defense.
I could go ON AND ON about this kind of crap... But I'll let you absorb this first.
There is also the possibilty that YOU are being brainwashed by the "ruling elite" into thinking women are being used against you to keep you down. What are you doing right now? Instead of fighting against the ruling elite themselves you are fighting against women who are meant to be just the middle men in their evil plot. Way to keep your eye on the ball there mate.

You seem to be missing a key point here... this war is fought in the MIND.
So, the ideal attack strategy is to convince others that the bars to the "Cage" are in fact... REAL.
So that a revolutionary "Meme" will spread throughout the land, and people will wake up to their prison.
Wake up Neo.

Listen, honey... I have quoted Cold, Hard data from the United states federal government, Census bureau...
The fact that you are denying this FACTUAL evidence based on your bias is proof of your inability to see the truth.
Try again... because you just failed.

Hey angry little rabbit, are you a woman? Your hard cold data is bs to me and my sisters, we are only too aware of the rotten deal you are imposing on us.

And just for purposes of argument... what rotten deal is the big bad patriarchy foisting on you poor helpless (and yet strangely enough, equal) women?

Well your "your hard cold" data forced down my throat, for one!
We are equal in spirit only! We have different functions, men have bullied there way into everything, they miss the mark at every turn, they use their stength in the most inapropriate ways, these threads that blame women for whatever reason usualy bring out the mysoginist male, I always get a kick out of them, I will always single you out for your imput.
