Nothing negative about being assertive, being aggressive in business and having a healthy libido.
I have no problem with that either. As the saying goes, "None of us are truly thinking if we all think alike."

As long as everyone is having sex in a responsible way I see no problem. Its all about responsibility to me.

agree

Personally I find it alarming how women are assuming, the more negative, attributes of men! Selfishness, no shame or less in cheating or playing the field and sexually objectifying the opposite sex, decreasing empathy and/or maternal instinct, etc.
alarming? not really.

depressing? maybe.

annoying? definitely.

Obviously with women's liberation in this country, women have amassed more power and opportunity, which is great. However, it seems that with the breaking of the shackles and cracking of the glass ceilings; women are starting to perpetrate the very same attributes that they rallied against for so many years.
well, you have a lot of aging feminists who've been running on autopilot for the past 40 years, and still think that women are disadvantaged.

some of the weaker men who grew up in this environment were imparted with a tremendous level of self-loathing, thus spawning the 'white knights' of my generation.

it's all very irritating.

For the most part, I still believe women have a edge of moral superiority over men. I hope to god that continues too. I believe in the saying, "One man equals an individual, one woman equals a nation."

Not only psychology, but also neurophysiology, developmental biology and psychiatry. Only the scientifically illiterate (or deluded) would dare to posit nowadays that gender roles are purely an index of social conditioning.

Maybe men need to start being responsible for their own actions. It is not my responsibility, as a woman, to be a "calming influence" on you or anyone else. Put on your big boy pants, and take responsibility for yourself.

I can catch a fish, kill a bug, grow a garden, take out the trash and earn my own money, all in mascara, lipstick and heels. I consider myself feminine. I raised a son by myself, and he's the least aggressive person you'll ever meet. Never got into a fight in his life.
I also take a lover from time to time. I'm sorry if you think that makes me a bad woman. Frankly, I couldn't care less.
