Marked general as I think this is more sociology than politics. Either way, you have been warned. Please read the column.


All men need to be feminists

Only when men learn to recognize misogyny will we be able to rid the world of it. Not all men are part of the problem, but, yes, all men must be part of the solution.

What am I supposed to do about this?

A feminist friend of mine told me this once:

Misandry is the philosophy of women are better than men. Misogyny is the philosophy men being better than women. Feminism is the philosophy that men and women are equal. A much too large portion of the feminist movement fall into the 1st group.

I've seen her jump the throats of men and women alike for misogynistic AND misandric attitudes. This article doesn't tell the whole story.

Same as me....develop a zero-tolerance attitude towards feminism and feminists, and wholeheartedly embrace Misogyny ....if ya REALLY want to have fun, go out and tell a feminist that since she thinks being born with a slit makes her in charge, she can be in charge of her own uterus and not much else. (then hope you can run faster than the objects she throws fly )

The Supreme Court has ruled that there is an inherent difference between genders, for that reason, it is legal to provide separate accommodations between genders. Example is restrooms, lockers, sports and etc. The Court mentioned that in order for there to be equality that society must accept same accommodations. Do you think our society is ready for that?

True. I am technically a feminist in as far as I believe all should be treated equally. But men and women aren't the same and I don't identify as feminist because I don't want to associate myself with anyone who actively does.

Yep! She can have my job, I just hope she has the strength to not get hurt.

Why are the retirement ages still different?

Edit: The differences seem to be gone. They use person and spouse as the subject words now!

Your full retirement age is 66

Remember, the earliest a person can start receiving Social Security retirement benefits will remain age 62.

If you start receiving retirement benefits at

age 62, you will get 75% of the monthly benefit because you will be getting benefits for an additional 48 months.
age 65, you will get 93.3% of the monthly benefit because you will be getting benefits for an additional 12 months.

If you start receiving benefits as a spouse at your full retirement age, you will get 50% of the monthly benefit your spouse would receive if his or her benefits started at full retirement age. If you start receiving benefits at

age 62, you will get 35% of the monthly benefit instead of 50% because you will be getting benefits for an additional 48 months.
age 65, you will get 45.8% of the monthly benefit instead of 50% because you will be getting benefits for an additional 12 months.

My opinion, but I think you're taking that statement a little too far.

But to answer your question, in as much as restrooms and lockers, no society is not ready for it(But if you say you're gender is different from the one you were born with, it seems you can use either restroom ), but sports... Ehhh, I've seen a LOT of girls that could keep up with, and even beat, boys in various sports (soccer, baseball, and football immediately come to mind)all through middle school and high school, but were turned away because they were girls. 1 even stopped playing because she was refused a spot on the baseball team and she hated playing softball.

More to the point, what I get from all of this is not be a dick.

It's a God-awful time to be a heterosexual white male. Somehow everyone else's misery is our fault, and consequently, our responsibility to fix.
just for starters, one of their "I'm a victim" statistics regarded genital mutilation. I couldn't help but wonder how many men have been circumcised....

Would you recommend that in high school sports and teams should be mixed-sex?

If all teams become mixed-sex, can we please NOT have a "required # of girls" on the team? If a girl is better at basketball than my son, she should be allowed on the team even if that means my son gets cut. But if he gets cut because the school is REQUIRED to have at least 2 girls (or whatever) on the team, that will tick me off!

You may be right. I guess it's "payback time" for the past few thousand years when "we" were top dog by default.

What percentage of people who would reasonably be included in any sort of hate group think back to their ancestors and their struggles and strifes and those ponderings become the starting point of their particular flavor of hatred?

Maybe I over-simplify things but I think most hate is a taught thing passed from one person to another. Usually parent to child.
