If men could menstruate, they'd have pussy's.

If men had pussy's, they'd never leave home.

If men never left home, nothing would get built.

If nothing got built, women wouldn't have anything to fill up with all their buying sprees (because there would be nothing to fill....since nothing got built).

If women didn't buy anything (to fill up spaces that didn't exist because men had pussies, hence, no need to conquer and kill), men wouldn't need to kill things to prove to women why they were necessary, ergo, no need to buy and fill.

Ergo.....it's good that women have pussies....and not men...because....I don't have one....I like them....I want one....(but not on me because they make you crazy....{yes...you...not me....okay wait....they make me crazy too}).

I have spoken.

Is taking the story for its word, the same as taking it for ‘as it appears’?

I have knowledge of something that I believe holds relevance to the topic; which does imply that the story is only one piece of the truth. In order to understand the whole picture, one needs to look into many mythologies.

However, I am also of the belief; everyone is entitled to their own belief on the subject.

quote:

What never ceases to amuse me is how when a woman is bashing man, abusing a man, or attempting to over-generalize men, it's taken as comedy, satire, or a kudos that she's 'getting one back for her oppressed sisters.' Yet when a man does any of those same things, it's soooooo wrong and evil.

I only thought of the material in the link as ‘cute’, in full recognition that not all men would feel the same, but there was a distinct possibility that some would, and others would join to be kool. I do not see the affliction as a male issue, and most often speak of “man” as the species, not just males. Also, my use of the term, “Man” is often in reference to an image that I ‘stumbled’ upon, and is indicative of the traits humans inherited from "Adam".

As far as generalizations, I used one for each sex in my original post; personally, I, regardless of being female, almost never crave chocolate.

I won't touch on my thoughts of "wrong" and "evil" here, I tend to get carried away, and am not even sure the conversation has not drifted off topic due to my origanal post, or maybe that was the second post.

quote:

But such is the case from those who cry out for equality while secretly wanting nothing of the kind.

An oversight in terminology, if you ask me; some women are so much more capable then some men (of course, the opposite is true). Personally, I only ask to be allowed to reach full capabilities; forget equal.

Imagine that, a “Biblical Parable” that when left open to the parameters of human imagination is capable of inspiring little more than conjecture, mystification, discord and literal translations of mythology.

Perhaps by looking deeper than the superficially obvious of the visual text we might learn a bit about our own humanity.

If men could menstruate we would have to check their drawers when they got into a fight at the local bar.

Was it too much alchohol and testosterone and we shake our heads and say "stupid fucker" or were they just on the rag and we scream "BITCH FIGHT!!!!"?

Wasn't this another quote attributed to Gloria: "A woman NEEDS a man like a fish needs a bicycle"?

Yes, I believe so. And I just asked Killer here, (huge yellow cyclid in the fish tank next to me) if he needed a bicycle and he shook his big, bright yellow head "No, just my damned breakfast!"

I wouldn't mind that so much, but when they start devoting entire cable sports channels to "Mensturation contests"... I think I'd probably flip around to see what was on WE.

Best laugh of the morning so far.
Would they then have hunting and fishing shows on Lifetime?

Who would ever think that could happen? Are insinuating that perhaps the ol' good book is not a factual text of the history of man?
Shocking. What a buzzkill.

Yeah, imagine.........after all the tweaking of pope Gregory that it would not longer be 100% factual. I am shocked.
