ADAM'S RIB

Excuse me young man, sounds like Face-book is your friend

I can only half sort of, sort of smile over that last one.

Aren't you concerned they might start hanging out in groups and even going to the bathroom together?

They already go to the bathroom together. Get a mixed group in a restaurant with four women and they all get up at the same time and go pee together.

OMG, next you will tell me if 4 women live together they will all have the time of the month at the same time of the month. Oh, the humanity of it all!!!



After paging through some of this thread and skipping over parts of it, I think I will go find 3 other guys so we can all go to the bathroom together. Maybe hide out there for a while.

I should learn to do that.

I wouldn't have been locked into the can if I'd had a gang with me.

They "do not". They gossip, touch up their lipstick, check their puppies are in place and 1 goes to the loo!~ Sheez

I knew that. I just didn't want to make them sound like a coven.

Witches huh!~ Well it does appear we can follow you into the bathroom

Tongue fully in cheek there...

a lot of comments here are stupid,y'all r acting like women are delicate little creatures and men are the predators. Dont forget then men are people too,they're not wild creatures we need to watch out for at night.Another thing, stop ignoring the problem guys face everyday because supposedly they are worshiped in society.The truth is in society women are equally or even more as favored as men.When we go on a date a guy has to pay or hes some type of coward.when a man hits a women hes a evil person,when a woman hits a man shes a hero or people around her just laugh.And the comments about women having to watch for men,dont forget that 40-45 percent of abuse victims are male,and males are about 76% of murder victims.we live in a world where problems regarding men dont matter, we only see them as the victimizers not the victims.and when man try to stand up for the problems we call the cowards or say they have an advantage.i didn't write this comment to offend or insult anyone but to stop making us an enemy, we are all humans we shouldn't be trying to make each other seem like bad people.

say again 40/45 % male?!!

And some of us even have a sense of humour, unfortunately not nearly enough of us.

one pees and the other one holds the door closed cause very often locks are broke.. the give each other conversation while waiting their turn in the long queue of women in the toilet cause needing all women to pee in the privacy of a cubicle, women restrooms are as big as men´s so..... you better have company to make it less frustrating and finally have you ever tried to pee seated while avoiding touching the inodoro surface and stepping on suspicious puddles, holding your coat from touching the floor and your purse from getting soaked of dirt and holding the door closed ... all at the same time?

This is the opening post of the thread:



I just wanted to point out that this was a paean to women. It was not a case of beating up on men, it did not suggest that more women are murdered than men, it did not suggest that the world is not a dangerous place for men. It simply praises women, and says that i like 'em. It is to me telling that there have been such hysterical responses on the part of a few, a very few men. It tends to underscore the point that some men hate and fear women.

really?.. so you first: get women to be paid as much as men instead of 24% less, get men to feel responsible for unwanted pregnancies as much as women, reduce the number of cases of domestic abuse committed by a man to his wife to the number of those committed by the woman to her husband, get men to assume housekeeping as their responsibility as much as his wife´s, get men to be called "promiscuous" as are women when having several bed partners in a short period of time, ... get little girls in many countries save from arranged marriages, ablations, abuses and humiliations or, on the contrary, get little boys to suffer the same atrocities and then... i swear i´ll dedicate my life to assure men are treated equally and respected as due

This makes my point exactly. When feminism is about "getting little boys to suffer the same atrocities" (your words, not mine) it stops being about equality. Making boys suffer as much as girls is not a good way to reach equality.

Any movement (feminist or not) that is truly about equality I support wholeheartedly.

You can support both women's rights and men's rights. I am in favor of equal pay, and abortion rights and LGBT rights. I am also in support of custody rights for men, and services for male victims of violence or abuse (no matter how much of a minority they are).

Why not just support equality for everyone without making anyone suffer?

Setanta is using the word "hysterical" to discredit the radical idea that men and women should be treated as equals. This isn't the first time this word has been used that way.

God took our rib and gave it to women. That's pretty damn scary. What's he going to take from us next???

And to this day, men still have one less rib than women. I know that because I was told that in the sixth grade in central Florida, circa 1956.

Man had to sacrifice that one rib to create women. It was worth it.
