And for the last time, i am not a feminist

Quite interestng and accurate observations -
divorce laws in western countries are definetly biased in womens favor ( from experience 3 of my 13 ex wives were american and in two of the divorces got royally ****** by the system there .. )
cant say on television and movies or advertising as havent watched television since 80 .. nearly as long since watched a movie ..
not surprised in the least with how the feminest movement has been over there that things are now stacked greatly in womens favour ...
maybe - ( extremely long shot ) people will realise all are equal and end the idiocy that leads only to further disparity and discrimination between genders .. ( among other problems created by political correctness over there .. )
Your wife lets you handle the finances because you are better than money than she is

And there it is.
Call those who want to discuss the topic Misogynists. I'm not saying you called me that specifically, but that is the common practice. Hell I don't even consider myself an MRA and I get this stuff.

Anyone care to point to a time when television wasn't sexist and racist? The people complaining are finally getting on board with the concerns that have been plaguing others since televisions inception.
Television doesn't like women.
Television doesn't like men.
Television doesn't like blacks.
Television doesn't like whites.
Each of these groups are targeted. That targeting isn't eliminated just because the way they are targeted differs from program to program. Some shows seems to promote women. Some seem to promote men. Some promote whites, some blacks. However, if television really liked one of these groups, there wouldn't be a targeting of them at all. Is it misandry, or is this supposed singling out of men endemic of a larger problem?
By the way, you know what television likes?
Sex.
Television LOVES heterosexual sex.
Television LOVES homosexual sex.
Television LOVES rape and molestation.
Sex is never demonized on television unless that demonization is used to showcase the act itself.

I've seen you parrot this many times now and I'm going to have to interject with a little experiment you can try on your own; just follow these steps:
1. Invite some guests over -- 10 males and 10 females.
2. Start talking about politics.
3. Observe who is paying attention and getting involved in the discussion
4. Watch the majoirty of women leave the room and start talking about something else
5. Behold your answer; most women are less interested in politics than most men.edit on 9-8-2013 by LightOrange because: (no reason given)edit on 9-8-2013 by LightOrange because: (no reason given)

Hahaha! That is such a BS experiment.
I could do the same thing and get a different result:
10 men 10 women - The men are high school drop outs, women raised in middle-class homes, who do you think will pay more attention?
Personally, im from a working class family and there are very few people who actually give a toss about politics!

Well, in my experience -- and I have a pretty massive group of aquaintances -- women rarely get engaged in political discussions and will physically leave the area when it starts going on.
In the given scenario with 10 and 10 even split, I would typically find myself and 2 or 3 other men at the end of it talking politics.
It's really not a BS scenario at all. If you go on an online dating service like POF, they specifically say that politics is one of the top 10 things not to talk to women about, alongside sex, past relationships, cars, sports, and the weather.
Of course in different scenarios and with different people you'd get different results, but generally a very small faction of women really care to even hear about politics much less engage in them as a career. I am from a middle class family myself and there isn't a single woman in my family you could hold a political conversation with for more than 5 minutes. My father is an elementary school drop-out and could talk your ear off about politics for hours so I don't see where you're going with that fictional anecdote.
