Please do expand on why I shouldn't be allowed to vote. I'm sure it will be scholarly and thorough.

really?? ******* I know I can't on here--
I carry a big stick - have a loud mouth and am very loved- because I speak truth- and because it is for your benefit- they get it, and I work with 99% males in the workforce. I think you take the word feminist and use it too broadly- I don't hate men- had 3 sons and 3 grandsons- and some that wish I was their Gma-

Sure, who doesn't long for the good old days when women were not allowed to vote, were legally allowed to be beaten by
their husbands, and were considered only a little better than livestock...who wouldn't want that????????????

Who would want to be considered an "equal" citizen and person with dignity and rights? And not be discriminated against?

as I suggested, there is nothing wrong with feminism, but, there are always those who take it way to the opposite end of the spectrum...

I enjoy a man opening the door for me, and enjoy the fact that my son is still a man of chivalry...
he loves to cook, clean and do things to help his woman out....matter of fact, there are a lot of men out there like that...however, no job is a man's nor a woman's....I miss the nice things that men used to do for women, and still do for women, but are fewer....I miss the woman, who is beautiful, both inside and out....and dislike very deeply women who are so insecure, they have to tell others how to think and believe, they don't seem to know or like to allow others their own identity.

Excepting the "gladiator" thing, there's nothing unique about these attributes which can be applied to men and women, no?
i am with you, you nail it.

I actually agree totally with what you said. There is nothing wrong with good old Fashioned
chivalry, Manners and Civility...and it has become all too rare in this day and age. And people should
allow and respect other people's opinion...too often in this day and age they don't. And it is why there is
so much hate and division in our country right now. And that is a shame...and heartbreaking.

But it was a really short time ago, only a few generations ago that women weren't even allowed to vote.
And I don't think there is anything wrong with women getting paid the same amount of money
for doing the same amount of work as a man. To me that seems only fair.

I am not trying to tell others how to think or to not allow others their own identity. But women in the past have suffered and fought for us to have equal rights and to be allowed to vote, and to be treated with respect.
I could never spit on or reject what they have done to get us to this point. Nor would I ever.

Sort of like how back in those days, women were essentially told to get married and be housewives, that other pursuits should be reserved for men?


Both my grandmother and my mother told me they really hated that as well.

A real man can laugh at himself and weep at sorrow. He has faults and is not perfect.
You can depend on a real man. You can’t depend on a boy.
A real man doesn’t need to be able to fight or to protect himself and his family physically. But it helps.
A real man do whatever it takes to keep his family safe and happy. He lives for something; a purpose beyond his own personal gains.
When real men are tired, discouraged and you think they are about to give up, they achieve great things.
A real man doesn’t stand still while the world passes him by, he continually pushes himself.
A real man leads the way and a listener to find the way.



How did I do?
You forgot a few things.

1. He must be swift as a coursing river
2. He must have all the force of a great typhoon
3. He must have the strength of a raging fire.
4. And he definitely must be as mysterious as the dark side of the mooooooon.
