But yeah, you're right, I mean most Wilford Brimley-types usually just write angry letters to the editor or give longwinded speeches complaining about something at town hall events...

I agree, far fewer murders and maybe wars. Although with women now going into combat like men, you might see that change a bit. My wife knows how to use an M-16, L.A.W. and handgrenades (Army). Remember some years back when I answered a domestic call where a woman discharged a handgun. Her and her boyfriend got into a squabble where he grabbed her by the throat and shook her around. He sat back down thinking it was over. She went to his truck, got out his Ruger redhawk .44 magnum pistol, went upstairs and blasted one off about two feet from his head through the fridge. He jumped so hard he put a hole in the sheetrock wall. She "killed" a gallon of milk (the bullet kept penetrating through walls to the outdoors, we never found it. Does anyone remember the tv commercial about in the early 70s or so where the host said "what if all wars were fought like this". It showed two old men meeting out in a field with their coaches. They (were presidents/leaders of countries) were disrobed and went out with the gloves and shorts on boxing each other. What a novel idea.

Yeah but men usually strangle them wrap them up in rugs and then throw them in the bottom of the ocean.

What gives?
I suggest you go found your nation of womyn then. I'm sure it would be easy to take over, but no one would need bother. It would last about a month, then self destruct.

Yep, I see those coping skills all the time on "Cops" when some female with a fresh shiner and a fat lip begs the police to not take her abusive BF to jail and then runs down to bail him out so he can beat-up her and her children all over again.

****in' BRILLIANT!

I wish I knew how to cope like that.


You be sure to let me know when males literally starve themselves to death because they think they might get fat.

Only in your mind does the exception become the rule.

Are you seriously asking this? Testosterone and natural male aggressiveness.

What gives is that women are actually more violent, controlling, and emotionally unstable than men. Perhaps if women didn't view everything as some power struggle with the opposite sex and serviced their men while instead of giving it out to every other man, or if every mother didn't build up their sons only to tear them down or keep them on their skirt, men wouldn't snap every so often.

men men man men whoa-man...

It's always been a woman's world, I don't understand why so many are quick to quip it's a man's world. It's just further proof at how aggressive women are. They've already dominated most men, and yet they still look to the richest man at the top or above their own station as though he's some pillar of manhood when in fact the top dog is just a puppet on a string controlled by his mother, lover, and or wife.
