How about putting the shoe on the other foot and having men champion their own cause? Is it okay in your book to have sisters supporting sisters, but it's not okay to have brothers supporting brothers?

Remember that the Tom Leykis Show is primarily an entertainment vehicle designed to carry commercial advertisements. It has to primarily entertain although it purports to educate too. If you don't like the philosophy there's nothing keeping you from hitting a different button on your radio dial.

But please don't give me this holier than thou version of why feminism is okay but masculinism is not. I'm weary of that brand of "we're better than your ilk."


Actually I wish I'd had kids but at my age it's too late. I don't want to be negotiating child care and Medicare benefits at the same time. I'd love to meet a childless woman in her 40s-50s. Good age for me.
Well I'm almost 20 and so many girls my age want kids in the future, which worries me alot. I don't ever want kids. I'm sure of that.

Well don't ignore the chance that you may want kids in the future. You probably will. The sands of time gather around your feet and one day you wish you wish you could leave something behind, little critters with your last name. Trust me, you will feel like this. I finally decided that I didn't have any unique genes to send forward into the future although I still wish I could. But it's not the worst that can happen to a person.

At least I didn't have to send the little critters to college.

Enjoy your youth. Get back to me when you're 30, or get back to someone like me. Have a good life "son."

I guess it depends on what you consider junk.

Do you know how many times I hear tha crap!? If somebody doesn't ever want kids, that's their life. How can people predict the futurs of others? I'm never was a kid person and I know a few guys my age who feels the same way.

I guess people will never understand childfree people.

Same here. I mean how could someone judge another they don't know? They don't know others' lives or history.

I don't think people don't get it, it's just that a lot of 20 year olds have said the same thing only to have changed their minds 10-15 years later. Some people happily remian childfree but many people change their minds. I wouldn't stress about it if I were you.

The city, or the world, is overpopulated as it is. Its sad that most girls are more concerned with children than relationships.
