"It must be wonderful to be a man, because they're always telling us- the worst thing you can be is a woman or a poofter"

quote from a man in West's Fathers, Sons and Lovers.

Teaching: it would be a great job, if I was a woman
- Comment by a male teacher in Burn (1999)

The consequences of having large numbers of young men who are under-educated,
unemployable and who hold little responsibility in society are potentially explosive –
and a tragedy for the individuals concerned as well as the community in which they live

You should read his paper it's very poignant.

This one from imacentristmoderate

>>Pericles, J K J, is a libertarian & not a conservative, libertarianism is a very different ideology to both communism & classical Liberalism.<<

Apart from being a statement of the bleedin' obvious, a) what does it have to do with me and b) what does it have to do with anything at all?

It may be just me, but there seems to be little appetite for discussion any more, only a place on the internet where people with opinions that are larger than their intellect can see their names in print.

Sad.

I had a good laugh at your post mate. All too true!

Gender is a trigger for many people to bring out their troubles and sore points and complaints. When you talk about gender issues, everyone is affected"

More hateful sexist bigotry from the feminists, ho hum. Perhaps you should practise what you preach some time?

Your entire argument can be boiled down to this: "Women don't get enough free favours, benefits and privileges and men should be forced to pay for them whether they consent or not."

I have already explained that your *assumption* that men and women are the same, is false, and you really need to get your head around it. Other people are not just footstools for women to climb up on, and your spewing of hate speech is not okay.

Try actually answering the arguments instead of merely reacting with an emotion-tantrum.
