ORIGINAL: dbloomer It would be refreshing if you could acknowledge the good points he made instead of just getting hung up on his vernacular. I'm all for equal rights between men and women. I'm not for forcing women in to roles that are better suited for men, nor am I for pushing men in to roles that are better suited for women. Nor am I for women who want equality when it is advantageous but want to "embrace their femininity" when it's favorable for them: For example, women want me to pay for dinner. They're more than happy to toss equality to the wayside when it suits their interests. I personally like paying for dinner for a woman. I don't want my date to be a vessel of masculinity necessarily. I want her to be feminine and willing to let me provide for her. Nor am I for women who feel free to use the advantage of their sexuality to gain favors and manipulate. I make no destinction between this and a man using his own innate physical advantage to take what he wants from a woman. i cant stand the women that think they are stronger or better than men..or that they can do everything a man can..that kind of thinking just irritates me to no end. men and women were not made to equal one another or better one another, but to compliment each other..to work together..hence being built so different. The above is pretty much the only enlightened opinion I've read on this thread so far. Men and women are like apples and oranges, neither are better or worse, but if you put the two together you're going to have a healthy meal. It would be refreshing if people did not make broad generalizations also. However I doubt I will ever find myself that refreshed. Not ALL women behave or feel as you dislike, or will feel or behave as you would like. Neither makes one more right or wrong than the other. You are simply stating YOUR personal preferences. The error is expecting your personal preferences to be a standard of behaviour. Men and women are not like apples and oranges. One woman may be an orange, another a peach, yet another a fucking Bing cherry. I personally might prefer the peach whereas you prefer the orange. I do not expect all women to behave just like my peach, in fact I do not WANT it that way. I want women to have the right to be peaches, cherries, oranges, whatever their individual fruit type might be. If all men wanted to be apples, how boring and frustrating that would be for you, just another apple. No one would stand out. Hetro women would have even more to choose from........IF they all wanted apples. Fortunately for me, some actually prefer women that prefer peaches and find apples over bearing and boring.
