No, a wise man is well acquainted with the word of God. But we're obviously from different schools of thought .

What I do know is that there are many strong, working, independent-minded women who agree with the man being the head of the household, but oh well...

mrmcoy if the woman agrees that a man should be "head of household" that is her choice and if it is ok for her thats fine. many women prefer to be on an even keel. it is all about choice. you may keep your balls where they belong....no worries

There's a reason men were created physically dominant""


Wha!? So she's easier to beat? To subdue? So you do all the housework cause you're stronger??



and less inclined to act on emotion (generally speaking).
Oh brother

Ya, men are so unemotional....how many times have a heard on the news about some"unemotional" man whose wife or girlfriend dumps him and he goes back and kills her, their kids, her mother...Yuppers! No acting on emotion there!!!



AND have you no idea how many women work and raise kids without a man present??? ANY thought to that at all.....????

Yes. And I happen to be very fond of one in particular...MY MOTHER.

And house work should be shared between both the man and the woman. Not just pushed off on the woman. And if she expects me to wash the dishes and do the laundry, I expect her to take out the trash and wash the cars.

SO YOU WANT IT TO BE EQUAL. Why! I thought you were so much stronger! Surely you should do more then, ...right...right???...Yoo hoo!! Right!?
So...you have it right (single woman doing it all)there in front of you and can't see it......????


Well, if making yourself the Big Chief fluffs your ego...I guess that's all that counts.

Guess what, life isn't fair.
It's ultimately the woman's choice.

If you don't want to get caught, get sterilized or don't play.

Women can't get pregnant without sperm.
Do you think this is an acceptable answer for women? "You can't get an abortion. If you wanted to have sex but not a baby - get sterilized or don't play"

Honestly - if someone said that to you, you would probably find that statement misogynistic, right?

So how is your statment any less anti-male?

As for original question.

Good feminism:

Equal Pay
Right to vote
Equality under the law
You know, all the basics.

Bad feminism:
All sex is rape
Father's don't matter
Men are pigs
Women with traditional values are'nt "real women"
In-utero babies are parasites

Feminism has done some great things, but it has also gone down some pretty dark paths. The term feminazi is spot on when applied to radicals like Andrea Dworkin and Catherine Mckinnon.

Finally! I was wondering when one of you ladies was going to play the "ego" card.

Oh, and can you show me where I said that a single woman can't take care of things on her own?

Yes, declaring yurself "head of the house' is ego...there's no reason, no logic.

And, GEE, you missed this part of my post:
