Ok then instead of going round' and round' with the insults or (at the very least) inuendos (sp?) what do you propose that "western" women do? Shall we all go to re-education camps to learn how to fire weapons, make bomb shelters, become brainwashed to follow our superior male leaders--that are evidently NOT the same males that have brainwashed us in the first place---which is an enigma in itself...
If this is a post that could have some validity on the "survival" threads, I might tend to agree with something you have to say...begrudgingly but maybe. I only say this because I am certain I could not set up residence in a cave or some such dwelling for a long period of time, not because I am a brainwashed and or a weak woman or a secert agent, but because there are bats in caves and no latte machines...

I'm a little confused - who do you despise and distrust more - women - or the government?
...and the government know the women know right? so the government comfort the women to let them know everything is ok and that is then passed on to the men so that there is no revolution...
all i am saying is they see that it is a little easier to manipulate women rather than it is men so they make sure we are in line so that we can not influence our women to rebel to know that everything is not ok.
...i know women say to their love ones not to do something is because they care i know that, but it bugs me that they don't let us do it, that's preciously what i am on about, they know the government is a danger right?...
I don't know where you live - if you've mentioned it I've missed it - so I can't speak about what you're saying specifically - only generally
first - even a very clever government is not usually that clever - but I think there is something to what you're suggesting - your big mistake is believing that women are the only target of this nefarious plan - this idea would work on everybody equally - if it works at all
I think you're young
I think you don't really know women well enough - you haven't had enough experience with them as a group or as individuals - to realize what you're saying
Your entire argument keeps bouncing back and forth between establishing that we have unbelievable powers of persuasion, conniving natures - and that we have an almost magical ability to manipulate - while saying at the exact same time that we're too naive - or maybe even stupid - to know that we're being played
you talk as if our amazing powers are being harnessed by an evil government to bend the people to their will - and essentially all they have to do to lure women into this trap is offer them some candy
does that sound about right?
so - I have to assume when you use the word naive - you do actually mean stupid?
but you've said some other things that make me think - you don't think women are stupid - you've said things (here and there) that make me think you might even like women - you just resent them
because they won't let you go outside to play
OR - admit to yourself that they're not stopping you from doing something you believe in - it's something you don't actually want to be involved in
be honest about the fact that they see the writing on the wall - and know that what you're considering will bring you nothing but trouble - and that trouble will not only rob them possibly of you - but it will all come screaming through the air in a giant ball of flames to land directly on their doorstep and destroy everything inside
you feel better to have someone to blame for your hesitation - but you hesitate not because you're weak, not because you're cowardly, not because your stupid - and not because you're being manipulated - but because you can see the consequences just as plainly as your women folk do
...i know women say to their love ones not to do something is because they care i know that, but it bugs me that they don't let us do it, that's preciously what i am on about, they know the government is a danger right?...
yes - they know - they absolutely know
they also know that losing you is not going to fix one damned thing
...i would like to ask women a question, us men have been manipulated the same to be strong and roughed, do you women not see us just as innocent and beautiful as we do you? do you women not see us as equal as we see you? do you think men generally enjoy fighting or harming each other? because i know for a fact men hate it harming each other, were treated as if we are animals in this world and women are treated as if they are candy or some type of delicate flower and i believe this is wrong.
this is why they don't want the hassle...
...so in that effect when will they know when to strike?
o Edrick
why do women never take information in? instead of thinking we are against them which through out this thread we have said we are not
except for where you accuse all women of oppressing men
You do not know what my Ideal world is.... Do not presume to.
Don't deceive yourself. The shape of your ideal world is perfectly apparent from your posts. It's you who don't know - rather, don't realize - what it actually is. Oh, I'm sure you can visualize the bits where the lads are all cocks of the walk, and keep the slags and boilers well in line. But it's the consequences, the wider ramifications of that little fantasy you fail to grasp.
Considering the presumption going on in this thread (about the simultaneous weakness and power of women, the automatic superiority of men, and so forth), I think a tiny bit of presumptuousness on my own part may be justified, don't you? But I don't have to guess at your beliefs; you have already made them distressingly clear.
Even if this were true, what does it mean? Simply that women feel a slight against one of them as a slight against them all. Hardly surprising, that an oppressed sex should feel sensitive to criticism from its oppressors.
John Selden, the author of that quote, never suggested that women were indeed 'guilty of some unworthiness', merely that they behaved as if accused of it.
I'm done talking to you.
I'm just curious - what do you think feminism is?
in your own words - really - I would love to hear
:-)
Ah, finally, one who does not presume...
...Since then, it has transformed from an Equality movement, into a Privlidge movement, concerned not with equality in ANY sense, but the superior treatment of women at the expense of men.
...Even though Western women are the most equally treated, and free in all of the world, or history, they are also the most bitter, and self serving.
the thing is - your anger gives you away - and you are angry. You're not objective - and you do seem to dislike women. No - I can't prove that - but I don't need too – I don’t even want to
what I'm most curious about now is: why so angry Edrick?
See - that right there is nothing but opinion
In order for any of your facts and figures to serve as proof of how woman are actually getting the better end of any deal - you would have to prove there is no good reason for why the courts did favor the women - that it was arbitrary - and biased
The bias against men in this area happened for a reason - because the numbers would show - if you looked them up - that more men (of the men who leave) are willing to abandon their families than stick by them - or fight for them
I should remind you that there was a time when all a man had to do was say the words "unfit mother" - and that was that
So, is there any way that you might concede that at some point in history (even if we just stick to the United States for now) women were not treated equally - or fairly?
Or, do you think maybe we've always been coddled? This is the answer I’m really after
I myself don't think anyone should be drafted - that's equality right there
No doubt all of this is part of the big conspiracy you keep mentioning, but I can't even argue against that one - because there is no argument. You can't prove the conspiracy
opinion Edrick
You have so consistently argued that women are nothing but emotional – and yet you end with nothing but emotion
I want to point out – if it is true that Western women are the most free and fairly treated in all the world – it’s not because it was handed to us gratis
Once something is won – you don’t relax and assume that it can’t be taken away – you remain vigilant. Maybe even a little hyper-vigilant.
If that means you have to keep fighting the same battle over and over – so be it
P.S. I like how you sign every post “Edrick”
like we’re going to forget :-)
BUT WHO ARE YOU FIGHTING AGAINST!?!?!?!?!

Yes i have something against western women more, i see that eastern women are more likely to join in a revolution than a woman from the western capitalist world.

I have already explained that I am a man.

In fact, I am a man of the East. And you are talking through your hat, I'm afraid. Or are you talking about women like this?
