flashing through their brains. This passes for thought and it can even
delude the casual observer into believing that a woman is thinking. On
closer observation, he will discover that there is no real coherence.
Men experience a similar sensation as they approach the point of
sleep. The brain skips through vaguely related images as linear
thought is surrendered but the individual fails to realise the
increasing lack of coherence as oblivion takes over.
Women are somewhere on this continuum between mildly irrational
thought and oblivion. It may be caused by continual hormonal
disruptions.

"Femin" ism, by name, nature and history is a movement for, about and
by females.
Feminism fought for the vote, equal pay.
Feminism fought for extra rights for females in divorces (letting a
woman ruin her husband's life by taking everything he has, even if she
worked for none of it), affirmative action, for the police to assume
all domestic violence was male on female when in reality it is
half-half (giving females total power over their partner if they
decide to get violent on him). And for women's health to be taken more
seriously than men's health by the government, resulting in females
living longer. And for an anti-male media putting anti-male messages
and images onto TV, and in newspapers (portaying males as stupid,
incompetant, jerks, and that a male's suffering is funny while a
female's suffering isn't.).
As you can see, there is one pattern. It benefits females. Often it
makes things worse for males in the process.
And so, the movement sticks to the name. "Femin" ism, by name, nature
and history is a movement for, about and by females.

I love women. I am bored by and pity feminists. I do not consider
the two groups to be related in any way. Genetically, feminists are
women, but they are not all women, and they wish they weren't women at
all. I neither nate nor fear either group.

Feminism fought for extra rights for females in divorces (letting a woman ruin her husband's life by taking everything he has, even if she worked for none of it),
Um, actually it's more about giving a wife a stake in the life that
both husband and wife worked to build. Her labor was unpaid, but no
less of a sacrifice than his, (assuming she's a SAH, which most women
AREN'T now-a-days), and all made at sacrifce to her future earning
potential. The same is done for SAH dads, now-a-days, and for poor
men vs. their rich wives in community property states.
affirmative action, for the police to assume all domestic violence was male on female when in reality it is half-half (giving females total power over their partner if they decide to get violent on him).
Rather simplistic, since the anti=feminists are the first to point out
the biological differences whenever it suits their particular
anti-feminist rant, but not when it's time to point out that many more
women than men suffer permanent injury or death due to DV than men.
And for women's health to be taken more seriously than men's health by the government, resulting in females living longer.
Wrong. Men's choices (smoking, drinking, stress, lack of excercise)
despite plenty of research showing that those choices are unhealthy is
the primary reason for men's lower life-spans. Women take better care
of themselves than men do. They also look out for the health of their
children.
And for an anti-male media putting anti-male messages and images onto TV, and in newspapers (portaying males as stupid, incompetant, jerks, and that a male's suffering is funny while a female's suffering isn't.).
Somehow, I don't think that advertising is a large bastion of radical
feminism, but if *YOU* say so, it must be so, right?
As you can see, there is one pattern. It benefits females.
This, at least is true. It strives to redress the inequality which
women have suffered and continue to suffer around the world.
Often it makes things worse for males in the process.
Well of course. If you're paying a man $75 a day for picking his nose
and ogling the secerataries at the water cooler, and you're paying a
seceratary $25 to actually *work* and the laws are changed so that the
seceratary is making $50 an hour, and the man is now only getting $50
and actually has to *work* or lose his job to a woman who will, I
guess you could say that things are worse for him. Fairer for all
concerned, but worse for the previously priveliged due only to his
white maleness. Boo frigging Hoo
And so, the movement sticks to the name. "Femin" ism, by name, nature and history is a movement for, about and by females.
You go girls!

Hello? When was the last war the US fought? We're not exactly
knee-deep in casualties from the gulf wars, are we?
You're forgetting personal choice. Men make less healthful decisions
than women, and that INCLUDES working riskier jobs. No one forces
them to work risky jobs, OR to go to war (at least, not since
Vietnam). And they are well remunerated for both of these choices.

If you're going to focus only on US men, then don't ever bring up
non-US women.

Funny that when the topic is women predominating in lower-paying
but safer jobs, you blame men/society for forcing or coercing
them into those jobs, but when the topic is better-paying and/or
hazardous jobs, it's men's free choice.
Why don't more women choose to take on the hazardous jobs that
must get done? Oh, I forgot, men won't let them.

In recent decades there have been less war deaths, yes. But
consider just one or two decades further back... such things
influence statistics that are calculated over long periods of time.
As statistics about life expectancy _should_ be.
You're forgetting personal choice. Men make less healthful
decisions than women, and that INCLUDES working riskier jobs.
It is true that men make riskier choices, yes, and it is one factor
in their living less on average. But it is also true that for many men
those are the best jobs they can get. For men whose best asset
is their physical strength, a job in the military or some other
high-risk job may be the best idea, despite the small risk of death.
But I agree that they still have an element of choice, yes. We
shouldn't ignore that, good point.
No one forces them to work risky jobs, OR to go to war (at least, not since Vietnam).
Should there be another major war, we all know very well who
will be drafted by force and who won't. Again, let's not ignore
what happened just a few decades behind us... in virtually every
society, only men are forced to fight when fighting occurs.
Hence, over the long-term, if there are wars (and let's face it,
there are), men will tend to live a little less because of that. There
is no equality in a forced draft, and there never was.
And they are well remunerated for both of these choices.
Perhaps that matters to some of them. But why do you raise
the topic? It is irrelevant in my opinion. We were discussing
life expectency, I thought.

Why does this argument apply to men (the free choice one), but when a women
suffers from heart disease it's her doctor's fault? Women are take more
responsibility for their healthcare, why don't they cough up for a damned
stress test instead of a tit job?
So men are more idiotic? Don't want to be cooped up in an office (who
does?)?
Men don't need to make money?
You may have heard about a little thing called Vietnam, wherein many
American males were drafted and sent to be maimed and/or die horribly. "The
draft,", ever hear about it? Or can you remember facts that fit into your

No, they do not. Women are by no means more "healthy" than men when it
comes to decision making.

Men's choices (smoking, drinking, stress, lack of excercise) despite plenty of research showing that those choices are unhealthy is the primary reason for men's lower life-spans.
Nope. Women just nag men to death.

Men experience a similar sensation as they approach the point of sleep. The brain skips through vaguely related images as linear thought is surrendered but the individual fails to realise the increasing lack of coherence as oblivion takes over.

Hello? When was the last war the US fought? We're not exactly knee-deep in casualties from the gulf wars, are we? Soldiers get killed all the time, even when there's not a war going on. Even practicing is dangerous. If you add up *all* casualties since 1980, including those from peace keeping operations and non-combat casualties, the number would easily top 1000. If you include those people who lived shorter lives because of wounds or whatever they were exposed to while in the service, the numbers start to get much bigger. Maybe from a statistics standpoint, that's insignificant. You're forgetting personal choice. Men make less healthful decisions than women, and that INCLUDES working riskier jobs. No one forces them to work risky jobs, OR to go to war (at least, not since Vietnam). And they are well remunerated for both of these choices. I'll take issue with this although I'd be on your side in general. I'd say some of the riskiest jobs tend to be of the blue collar variety (cops, fire fighter, miners, farmers, soldiers) and while you can usually live off those wages, I don't think "well renumerated" really applies.
Having lived in mining counry (Wise, Virginia) I can verify that
miners are well remunerated. They probably get more money than is
good for them, considering their average education and lifestyle. I'd
bet that more miners die off-job doing stupid drunk stunts than in the
mines. As for the other jobs, probably the only ones who don't make
more than I do (white collar professional, albeit in the non-profit
sector), are farmers.
I'd also say that in most cases you pick from the jobs that are available to you based on demand and your skills. Not everyone has the same opportunities. So there's more to it than just choice.
A very feminist argument. I agree.

I'd say some of the riskiest jobs tend to be of the blue collar variety(cops, fire fighter, miners, farmers, soldiers) and while you canusually live off those wages, I don't think "well renumerated" reallyapplies.

Maybe we just disagree on what "well renumerated" means. To me that
means that their wages would be *well* above average. I don't know many
rich cops, fire fighters, or soldiers. I just don't know many miners.
I also work for a non-profit and the average person in those professions
I listed makes much less than I do. My job does not put my life in jeopardy.

If you want to call that a "feminist argument", that's up to you. In my
mind it goes beyond feminism.
I'm kind of sorry I replied to your post. The feminist, anti-feminist
discussion is not something that I really care to get involved in. I
have no real problem with feminists in general, -at least not moderate
ones. Your post just hit me as rather cold hearted and I felt compelled
to respond.

According to the most recent census the number of stay at home mothers has
increased 13% in the last decade, and fewer are returning to work after the
birth of a child. The pendulum swings both ways.

affirmative action, for the police to assume all domestic violence was male on female when in reality it is half-half (giving females total power over their partner if they decide to get violent on him). Rather simplistic, since the anti=feminists are the first to point out the biological differences whenever it suits their particular anti-feminist rant, but not when it's time to point out that many more women than men suffer permanent injury or death due to DV than men.And for women's health to be taken more seriously than men's health by the government, resulting in females living longer. Wrong. Men's choices (smoking, drinking, stress, lack of excercise) despite plenty of research showing that those choices are unhealthy is the primary reason for men's lower life-spans. Women take better care of themselves than men do. They also look out for the health of their children.

And for an anti-male media putting anti-male messages and images onto TV, and in newspapers (portaying males as stupid, incompetant, jerks, and that a male's suffering is funny while a female's suffering isn't.). Somehow, I don't think that advertising is a large bastion of radical feminism, but if *YOU* say so, it must be so, right?
Try counting instances of man and female bashing in ads. Tape the top 20
shows for a week, fast forward through the shows, and count the ads that
satisfy the criteria for man or female bashing. See for yourself.
As you can see, there is one pattern. It benefits females. This, at least is true. It strives to redress the inequality which women have suffered and continue to suffer around the world.Often it makes things worse for males in the process. Well of course. If you're paying a man $75 a day for picking his nose
Is the man's job picking his nose or is his higher pay based on more
education, trainging, and productivity? Or do you consider a Radiologist's
pay to be comparable to the woman who transcribes his diagnosis?
and ogling the secerataries at the water cooler, and you're paying a seceratary $25 to actually *work* and the laws are changed so that the seceratary is making $50 an hour, and the man is now only getting $50 and actually has to *work* or lose his job to a woman who will, I guess you could say that things are worse for him.

Why should laws affect compensation between employer and employee?
Shouldn't a woman be able to negotiate on her own with her employer for her
compensation? Aren't women capable of taking care of themselves without
government hand holding?
Secondly, since women do so poorly at negotiation perhaps employers should
be able to legally exclude them from the workplace to prevent exploitation.
These excluded women could form their own all female firms, and according to
your logic and *charming* anecdotes an all female workplace would be the
most productive in the world.
Last point, are Hispanic, Asian, and Black men exempt from your proposed
legislation?

And so, the movement sticks to the name. "Femin" ism, by name, nature and history is a movement for, about and by females. You go girls!

That he *knew that he couldn't refute me in debate, or with any facts*, onlyshows that even he knows that his views, as posted, were... BS. There is no debate here. Just facts and so far, yours are dead wrong.
<shrug> You keep saying that... But, *you have yet to do anything else*...
Funny how my saying something is terrible, but you doing that is...fine
with you. Hypocrite.
LOL.

A "combat area" is not "combat"
Well, no more so than the citizens of Dresden were engaged in"combat", anyway. Or Londoners during the blitz. non sequitur
non sense
It is generally accepted that combatants mutually participatein combat . What you are describing is usually called "runningaway", not that it wasn't a dangerous time and place though. Nonsense. No one can run away from guerilla warfare.
Operation Babylift wasn't the Americans running away?

A "combat area" is not "combat"
You're a moron -- you are tying to spin the argument that the DOD is wrong for
calling deaths in a combat zone -- caused by war.
Well, no more so than the citizens of Dresden were engaged in"combat", anyway. Or Londoners during the blitz. non sequitur
non sense
No its non sequitur. If you had a brain you would know why, but you don't.
GIs in Vietnam were not civilians in a home city hiding from bombs with the
air raid warning went off. They were soldiers in a foreign land where there
was a guerilla-type civil war from sea to sea. And every one of them was a
target.
It is generally accepted that combatants mutually participatein combat . What you are describing is usually called "runningaway", not that it wasn't a dangerous time and place though. Nonsense. No one can run away from guerilla warfare.

No, I am pointing out the distinction between behind the lines units
that are caught with their pants down in the middle of their HQ city
and soldiers (ie men) who are placed deliberately and directly into
"combat with the enemy"
>Well, no more so than the citizens of Dresden were engaged in >"combat", anyway. Or Londoners during the blitz. non sequiturnon sense No its non sequitur. If you had a brain you would know why, but you don't. GIs in Vietnam were not civilians in a home city hiding from bombs with the air raid warning went off. They were soldiers in a foreign land where there was a guerilla-type civil war from sea to sea. And every one of them was a target.
They were not expected to become embroiled in the sort of fighting
that they were consequently confronted with. Sure, they were (initially)
in more danger than, say, Aunty Mae who was back at home on her
porch in Nebraska but then so is just about anybody who drives a car
to work these days.
It is also true to say that they were no less dead than were their
combatant compatriots, but the fact remains these people were
not placed into a combat zone, the combat zone came to them,
and they fled.
As an aside, retreat under fire is not a tactic that American Generals
tend to spend a lot of time planning for. They usually just arrogantly
assume that they will beat everyone and anyone they come up against.

But nevertheless terribly accurate.

Aaah, yes, I see your point.

Oh, I see. All Australians are genetically inferior rejects.
Got it.

Don't need to.
Read this and then put *that* in the context of that "genetic
reject" garbage you wrote above.

You should ask did I read it? No.
Women were denied pain killer during birth to uphold, as it were, God's curse to Eve.
There were enough medical reasons for this to justify especially after
the Contergan debacle. For a long time, there were no analgesics that
could be considered safe enough for a broad usage of that kind. And even
in free countries where there aren't any religious nutcases running
it, painkillers during birth aren't that common. And it ain't because of
the need to inflict pain upon women, rest assured. While the procedure
itself is safe, I wouldn't want to try hitting someones bonemark during
labor. And there can be, albeit only very infrequently, complications
where the painkillers really can cause troubles.
BTW, I think Contergan is back on the market but this time it's really
only the painkilling substance, not its evil enantiomer which caused so
much trouble last time (the industry learned their lesson out of it,
BTW, racemic medications usually aren't even going to clinical trial
these days they go through HOOPS (everyone familiar with the concept
will understand why so I don't explain it here) to only get the
enantiomer they actually need). I know a few pharmacologists and they
agree that it is a very effective and safe medication (partly because
the therapeutical range is rather distant from where it gets dangerous
unlike with some of the other high powered analgesics) if used where it
belongs.
