When Did Feminism Become So Embarrassing?

Yes I think some men do have that insecurity. It's always interesting and I enjoy discussing it to get different male views. For instance, some men I have spoken with are not the least bit threatened by their SO earning significantly more than they are. Some blue collar men have no problem with this and I always wonder if it's because they are often really (REALLY! ;)) well built and so their masculinity does not feel threatened by earning less. It's really fascinating to get different views. There is no one size fits all IMO.

I have no problem with a woman earning more than me. It would be a nice change of pace. As for that having anything to do with how I am built, I kinda doubt it.

You need to look up what a strawman is. He most certainly did create one. It is you making a huge ass out of yourself.



So what wave are we on now? The third psychotic wave?

The radical feminists of today do more harm for their cause than good. That is why she doesn't want to associate with them. That is factual, not debatable. You are simply wrong.

But, she benefits from their accomplishments, but people like yourself and herself never fully realize this. Women who fought for the vote were thought psychotic, also and for this, they were jailed and institutionalized. Now, they are heroines, but in their time, they were scandalized and brutalized!

Women like Oprah and Martha Stewart and many others built from the ground up their own empires. To pretend it was due to feminism is just nonsense.

Absolute, poppycock. Oprah and Martha couldn't own their own businesses if it weren't for feminists. You are trying to rewrite history. Women couldn't own property, or work outside the home, except for "acceptable" vocations at one time. Our rights have come about because of brave women who stood up to the patriarichal societies!

I couldn't tell you. I dont' have any such compensatory issues and I'd be tickled to death if my wife made more than I do.

I've always heard there are only 4 kind of men.

Small
Medium
Large, and;

OH MY GAWD!

When it comes to sex, how much and how often and with how many partners, I do indeed respect whatever a woman chooses to do or not do. So no matter what you want to proclaim I do and do not believe, that is where I stand.

That said, 'choice' never trumps life. Ever.

Bull, you only take this position when it fits your agenda, otherwise you would be against war, guns and the death penalty., but you only hold this view when it comes to women.

Yes it does, every day - for men. Pregnancy and gestation have zero effect on men, unless they CHOOSE otherwise, via involvement (not to be confused with commitment, which defines the mother's 'involvement') with and support of the mother.

Great point!! And that really goes to proving marcotte's point. The point that sf sound so objectionable that he pull quoted it in his op.
 
Marissa Mayer is too hot to be a feminist.
