I think the whole thing is odd!

This is an online survey that doesn't even corroborate your statement...

You got me all wrong, Crystal! I LOVE women!!

If you noticed...
anytime a woman focuses on tearing down a man, I retaliate. And I don't do it with flippant opinions, I back it up with facts and statistics to put them in their place.

As far as feeling sorry for myself, nuh uh!!! I'm actually in a really good spot and feel very blessed.

I never said men are saints. I know a lot of shltty men. Men I have to let know that I won't put up with their shlt either, I do that in a different way.

But you see what you did there...."Men should become accountable for their own shortcomings and stop pointing fingers." Hypocritical much?? You took a shot at men...I won't bother ripping into that because you just made my point - which is what I defend.

Then that would be an opinion!
Now I'll offer one of my own:

Women are often the patrons of marriage counselling - whether she goes herself, or forces her ol man to go "fix their marriage"

Marriage counsellors are aware of this, so they are taught to side with the women that they council... if they want to keep their money flow. If the therapist takes the man's side, the women tend to just find another counsellor until they side with her. Just dollars and sense

This "info" is also from a marriage counsellor.
Accountability is a woman's kryptonite

It's a bogus article written by a woman with no real accreditation.

A certified transformation and relationship coach...with a WHOLE 3 years of experience?

I have pubes older than her.

The article is full of speculation, and more than likely an op ed written for women.


You want truth with facts from a credible source...
This will tell you all you need to know

I was watching looney tunes

Talk to Chrissy!

Crystal,

You don't think biology comes in there anywhere?

I think you have a good grip on the history of it all, but I'm not sure you understand the why - entirely.

I like the way you say "think about the impact of it all" because it is something to think about. But if you want to deal with the history of it ALL, you must consider the times even before your markers.

The "patriarchy" you refer to is a system designed for social norms. It is not a bad thing. Riddle me this... would you rather be in a time when you were bonked on the head and dragged to a cave - because that's what happened.

The system put in place, was a system that protected women and provided for them. Call it oppression all you want, but it is a lot better than the alternative. Men know the brutality of other men - that's biological. We size each other up all the time and are prepared to fight at any given moment. And that's nowadays! I think that also speaks as to why women can't compete with men. We'll always go to that level with other men. We're ruthless with each other if it ever came down to it.

Let me know a different system that protects women from men without the involvement of men - because that's what you are calling a "patriarchy"

Men didn't have it easy either... throughout history, only some 33% of men got to reproduce. Some say 40%. Women are double that - on the low side. And I think there's a biological element to all of us to reproduce.

Men are hard, because we have to be hard. It's biological. Women are softer - and that's the beauty of mother nature! Our strengths compliment each other for the best possible survival

Now you understand men
