My wife and I are partners - I "tell" her she needs to do things and she "tells" me what I need to do. The way you wrote the statement indicates a hate, an anger, for men.
There may a time for what? Unless I experience what?

I don't hate men. I just don't tell them what to do. My boyfriend and I will be hitting out three year anniversary next month. So nope, I dont hate men.

But I'm sure you get to tell him what to do - right?

And, yes, your posts indicate a certain hatred towards men.

Understand? Good.
Now, now. Calm down. Men aren't going to like you if you act that way.

Equality is great and the way it should be, but being so against sexism and then practicing it yourself is pathetic.
NOTHING she said there was sexist. She was just saying that not all women need men. There are some women who are ok on their own. Does that bother some men? I think so.

Nope. Ask him yourself. (If you could) I never tell him what to do. He lives his own life and live my own. We understand.

I would never even begin to suggest I didn't need women, so yes I find the post a bit insulting.

And, BTW, think back to what I said earlier about seeing everything in black and white.

Yep, which is why we all have to learn to get along and make compromises. Militant attitudes are annoying and unappealing. This, by the way, was a huge lesson I learned in the aftermath of the passage of Prop. 8. I was never a protester, but I sure was turned off by them. You know it's a bad situation when even gays are sick of gay protesters.
