@MichaelJ,
Quote:I'm not denying that the total number of relationships for the entire species is equal. What I'm saying is amongst the INDIVIDUAL relationships, woman have more partners. I can't think of a single instance I've encountered in my life where this hasn't been true.
That is just fact.
Odd - I can look around me and see many men that have had more relationships than women. I don't doubt that exists in your world to - but you likely ignore such.
Let's break it down into a number that is easy for you to understand. There are now only 1000 men and 1000 women left in the world. If the total number of relationships that women have (with men) in one year is 2000, then the total number of of relationships that men have with women in one year is also 2000.
Within that number of women, some women won't have any (do notice that you largely ignore this?), and a few women will have, let's say 50 (you notice that you focus on this part?). Within that number of men, some men will have none (you notice you focus on this part?), and a few men will have, let's say 50 (you notice you ignore this part?).
Now within the whole, a
very limited number of women may want to have more men than that than that...because men being hunters allows her to do so.
If this is your point - So What? That's biology, and nothing will change that.
Seriously - why do you keep complaining about things you can do nothing about? It's incredibly pointless. Worse, the
only things it achieves is to keep you bitter; to hinders your happiness; to keep you depressed. The only result you get out of constantly fixating on this & ceaselely complaining - is a seriously negative effect on you. There is not one point to complaining about biology, and it has on you - huge negative effects - so why do you choose to engage in it? Is it a sense of massichism?
Quote:That doesn't mean we should just accept things as being OK if they are blatantly wrong.
See above. It's not blatantly wrong - it's biology. You sense of injustice is misplaced, and serves you no end of ill. All you do is cause yourself anguish, for not purpose whatsoever.
Quote:as men should at least point out what women are doing and collectively raise our our middle fingers in defiance.
Seriously?
Personally - I LIKE being a man. I LIKE my strength. I LIKE my co-ordination. I LIKE the competitiveness. I LIKE being proud of who I am, and of my gender (without ever feeling the need to put women down).
I also like how women are overall...the differences offer a counterpoint to who we are, that as a whole, makes life better. Within the whole of womenkind - there are certainly women who I don't like...and the great thing about that is there are lots that I do like....and I'm sure the women can say exactly the same for mankind...so I don't bother judging (because from each point of view there are arguably problematic traits in the other) - I make the best of the ones I do like.
Your problem really appears to be that you don't like being a man, and you don't like being who you are - and you want to blame this on women. Women have little to nothing to do with your dislike of yourself. The women in your life have been a reflection of who you are, as has the lack of women, or the lack of the right woman. This isn't said to give you a kick in the guts - it's said because you need to realise that this is firstly ABOUT YOU...not about women.
As I've said previously - what we contribute to others is US - who we are, our richness of life, our unique character traits, our genuine personality idiosyncracies, our deep sentimentalities, our humour, our friendliness, our loyalty, our sense of fun, our impulsiveness...etc...and all of that attracts certain types of people into our lives...hence
both our friends & relationships are a reflection of us.
...and with all of those traits - we can develop them. We can find more things to love about people (and increase our love & warmth)...we can develop our understanding (and increase our empathy)...we can develop our interests (and find more in common with others, and grow our passions etc)...the same can be said for any positive human trait you can think of.
...and as we develop, we welcome more & more people into our lives, and more importantly, for those that will be close to us - people who mean a lot to us - people who speak to us - people who move us.
Quote:So you agree with me? That women crying about unequal pay should just shut up?
Keh - that's a statement that is too generalised to be answered with a yes or no.
If they are doing the same job, they should be paid the same. If they are doing less skilled work, they have nothing to complain about (just as men doing less skilled work have nothing to complain about).
As a whole - because many women choose pregnancy & family over work (and all the various permutations that it takes) - the overall total pay of women should obviously be no where near the overall total pay of men.
That said - the difference in pay between the less skilled and skilled employees is problematic (but that's a different topic).
Quote:One of the most satisfying things in life is putting a woman in her place. It just feels right. Can you blame me for taking satisfaction in that?
Is it really 'satisfaction' that you feel, or glee?
Quote:Because it really is 'impossible' to win an argument with a woman. Even if you're 100% right.
Uh - okaaaayyyy...
Personally - whatever a woman thinks - and whatever the argument - sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong...whatever they say. You'll find that if you stick by your principles (sound principles that is) they eventually come around...even if they initially storm off. Sometimes of course, you just have to agree to disagree.
I don't know how many women have said it - they do NOT want a man they can just walk over (and they'll try).
So no - don't EVER believe that they are always right. It's a test they throw your way to see if you really are a man.
