Are you sure about that. You dont think it started with Eve eating that Apple. Cant be when it started to be acceptable for woman to have babies out of wedlock, or having abortions, like express oil changes Woahh... who got these women pregnant and then walked, ran, or scurried away? Who made it acceptable? All the women who couldn't find the men who chose to lie down in bed with them and then not take responsibility?? Did they just sit around and decide it was okay? Or was it the men, all hiding out in caves working under the table jobs.... laughing? They said it was acceptable? I don't think it's acceptable... You are responsible for opening and closing your legs. If you feel that a man, or men are not trustworthy, then choose wisely. a man has NO right, by law to tell a woman what to do with her body. He only has to pay child support. Please dont leave out the career gold diggers that get knock up for a pay day. are you friggen serious? what about the women who are FORCED? are you going to tell us next that they asked for it? so a man can have sex with a woman and his ONLY responsibility for the outcome of pregnancy is child support? give me a fricken break! im just gonna stop now.....omg lmao holy crap!!!!! I dont beleive in Rape. Yes, by LAW all a man has to do is basically pay child support. just because YOU dont believe in rape doesnt mean it doesnt happen, by your statement you have lumped all women in your obscene judgement. by law? what the hell does that mean? i raised my daughter 18 years with the SOB living the next town over, i got nothing! most of my single mother friends, get NOTHING! i have single father friends who get nothing. so if a man chooses not to have anything to do with the baby or he doenst want it, its ok for him to walk, but if the woman has an abortion or have it out of wedlock she is wrong? omg here we go.....in.....out....happy place 1 in 3 woman faces sexual assualt in her lifetime ... and no matter what you believe that is not acceptable .. I guess the odds are stacked for woman ??? more like against woman .. I don't know how this turned into this when I asked a simple question if you believe a man should be head of the house .. Dont know how this became a Rape issue. My statment were based on woman who use abortion as a means of birth control. PERIOD. As you are finding out everyday more and more men have been sexually violated.As time goes on you will hear of more. There is no all or every, Thing should go case by case.

Nothing i have said is ment as a personal attack. If some of the things i say, hits home, that is not my fault.. We all have to look at ourselves in the mirrior. There is no perfect person. I know, and have unwed mothers in my family. They are highly respected. If you think my opinions were pointed at you personally, your wrong. Im not judging anyone, im also not tring to impress, or offend anyone. Sometimes passion can be mistaken for anger. I know im coarse at time, but it isnt personal. Brian... of course I did not take your comments to heart. They do not hit anywhere close to home. Or in the same country, for that matter. I simply said your phrasing was off and that your post was written in an insinuating manner. I also did not say you were being personal. If you read my post again... be clear here, I'm not personal in my tone at all. Rather, more pointing it out and saying it like it is. In other words, write for the readers and not for yourself. Throughout this thread you've written some things that make you appear to be very negative and judgmental. That's all.

I don't know anyone that uses abortion for birth control .. sounds expensive since most insurance or medicade does not pay for it .. and yes i know that more and more men are finally coming forward with stories of sexual assault and facing a much tougher audience then woman do .. Rape is a crime of power and control not of sex...

I will work on it. I understand what i write. Some topics i express may seem, or come off negitive. Thats just how it is.Im going to rub people the wrong way at time, but i will also make them laugh, or offer good advice. Im a mixed bag. Love me, or Hate me. I am what i am

brian I always enjoy posting in your topics .. and most of the time enjoy bantering with you ,, sometimes I think that passion does come across has anger and bitterness .. I think that wonderful thing is that we all have someone to contribute to not only the topic at hand but each other has well .. kudos for this one not getting out of hand ..

I am what i am Brian... please re-read what I wrote. I very clearly said I did not think you were being personal. Twice. Nor was I, being personal. I said that again as well. I said your wording was insinuating. I told you I did not think you were writing for me. How many times do I have to say it? The problem is not understanding your own writing. The issue at hand is writing for those people who read it. I do not mean me. I do not mean me. I do not mean me! I mean your readers are all of JSH. Am I being vague?

Glad we are finally agreeing it was a misunderstanding. Glad we are no longer misunderstanding the misunderstanding! Have a good one!

It seems that equality for women means that men get to do 1/2 of the womanly things and ALL of the manly things. Tell the truth now girls. When's the last time you changed the oil in the car? When was the last time you took care of the children, made dinner, did laundry, cleaned the house all after comming home after work... "Equality of the sexes will happen not when women do everything men do, but when men do everything women do"...Gloria Steiman.

Why should it just be one head of the household? Seriously, if you have two people contributing to the running and the upkeep of your house, family or whatever? I also know thats not a possibility. However I don't necessarily agree that a man should automatically be given the title of head of the household. It's an outdated theory. Women no longer stay at home and just do the wifely thing. Most families the men and women BOTH work. And work hard! You are seeing more stay at home dads now than ever before. When I was married he was head of the household. He ruled the roost. He said jump and I asked how high? I did everything in the house and did car maintenance and lawn and driveway maintenance as well as working a full time job and raising 5 children. I was a silly lil s*** and it will never happen again. So, in my opinion is should be an equal partnership with EACH PERSON pulling there weight. If its such a huge issue for taxes. Well, file married but filing seperately.
