I don't do any of those things, most of the women I associate with don't either.
Women aren't doing what you want them to do, I guess.
Looks like you have no control over them.

By far...the majority of people I see yapping on cell phones in public and in the trade I work in, are men, males...

All they do is yap on their cell phones, and wear those ear pieces...I very seldom see women wearing those headphone sets and or yapping in public on cell phones...

Making generalizations about how either gender looks or behaves in incredibly ignorant. If people really buy into this, they obviously need to get out more, and meet more people.

I came uncomfortably close to being hit this morning by a lady driving and talking on a cell phone.

Neither sex has a patent on stupid or annoying cell phone use..

Then I wondered how many think this is feminine? Overt aggression or passive aggression- which has anything to do with being human?

What better illustration could there be of both males having warped identity and women playing along? I agree with 99.9% of what he's said, and yet, his attachment to the notion that weakness= derogatory female sexual organ... his frame of vision is the very entitlement he's cussing at!

I mean, how oblivious can he be to his own juvenile self if he still carries on the notion that feminine must be diminished to define him? The piece de resistance is that a female would post this in full agreement with self hatred.

One simple choice of words makes an entirely different statement. Lacking emotional fortitude, gumption, artificial dependence fostered by civilization, lack of individualism. Nope, he's got to smear women to stand taller in the eyes of men. He's a boy raising his own children to be juvenile in their attitude towards women, then wonder why their marriage fails as their father before them in a family tradition.

YouTube - Lessons of My Father: Depussification
Yes, I'm sure his sister was helped infinitely by being told that her womanhood was a pejorative. In much the same way anyone would feel better about being punched in the nose.

No one deserves to be put down or mocked for his or her gender.

The point is that in contemporary society, it has become acceptable to slander men in ways that are not acceptable when aimed at women.
