You know what I'd like to see more of? Men being upfront and honest about things. Now, I'm not saying all men are like this, but from what I've seen and what other women have told me, many men avoid confrontation like the plague. It isn't that difficult to just be upfront about what you're thinking. If something isn't working out, let us know. It can't be that hard. What kind of confrontation do you mean? Is it difference of opinions, disagreements, or having to compromise? Confrontation was the wrong word to start with. I meant avoiding conversation because they thought it might cause confrontation. Talking about differences of opinions, disagreements or compromise would be a good thing. |

It's called a "Proboscis monkey" (proboscis is a technical term for "nose"), and they're known for their overtly-large schnozes.

It isn't that difficult to just be upfront about what you're thinking. If something isn't working out, let us know. It can't be that hard. I try to be the least sexist as possible, but if you look back 3-4 decades ago, this "liberating movement" and "equal rights" and so on started and it changed a whole lot of things. Also the lifestyle. Go see a typical family from the 70s or earlier before, the women role was to stay home , cook and raise the kids. The guy would work and his paycheck was enough to cover all the bills. Now you look at today, most women work, and even if they are married, both work just to make enough to pay the bills and still end up in debt. There is also other effects come from this + add the equal rights movement and so on...basically women are filling in a different role now, and just look...from the 60-70s..all the way back to the cavemen, women has filled in a different sort of role, whether you think it was good or bad. It has negative effects, such as people are raised differently and think differently. Essentially, it brings a sort of inferiority or let's say less 'superiority' to the way the men think..whether you think it's good or bad, at the end of the day it's not the men that will suffer, but the women. I'm not saying all men be like that, but it does have a pu$$yfing effect on a large selected group of men. I know, many is gonna say, what a a$$hole, I might be thinking this way, but just see it yourself or even myself....as men loose their jobs and there are women who work, they don't wanna date a women like that, it hurts their ego, and it has nothing to do with the guy has an ego problem, but it's more like basic instinct... It makes them feel insecure and so does all the new liberal crap way of thinking, that has done nothing but destruction for relationships. |

It makes them feel insecure and so does all the new liberal crap way of thinking, that has done nothing but destruction for relationships. Though I do understand the point you're getting at and I do think that society has in some respects gone too far to the other side (meaning feminist side) in terms of values, like empathy being more important than honesty, caring about feelings instead of results. I don't think this has destroyed relationships but rather it's destroyed bad relationships (the woman isn't at the mercy of the man) and allowed better ones to flourish (where both are equal partners). I came from the typical nuclear family, dad worked mom stayed at home. My dad passed away when he was 50 (I was 20, my sis 23). I was finishing college as was my sis. Good thing we weren't 3yrs old and 6 yrs old and good thing my dad was a doctor who made plenty but we lived frugally. What happens if the father dies young? The wife who has never held a job and has no job experience is just left unable to fend for herself. I don't think a relationship should be based on ,I have to stay with this person to survive. They should stay with one another because they want to, not because they need to. |
