Second problem is one of familiarity and what it breeds. If l eat caviar and drink Moet three times a day it looses its alure and becomes passe. After a few days on a Grecian island topless beach, the site of mammaries become very ho-hum indeed. Still pleasurable but progressively desensitising.

lt is encumbant upon women to get this togther. Its your agenda and your push, you need to own it. Blaming women's magazine (editorial and writing staff almost entirely female) and falling back on projected latent hostilities by way of lame name calling like meesoggeenust just doesnt cut it anymore. People just grow a thick skin in the face of that nonsense and the females get nowhere trying to advance after having shot themselves in the feet so often.

Equality is a two way street. When are women going to start looking at men as equals and treating us as such? Rather than looking down on us from their lofty pedestals of self procalimed higher morality, where they are sugar, spice and everything nice and we are snails and puppy dog tails.

The basic lessons... cause and effect, accountability, responsibility, respect for yourselves and us lowly simpleton sex crazed perverted meesogeenuts. Females dont listen to males. That would be oppression. Its the repsonsibility of women to impart the lesson.

Its your reality, you command it. Blaming us and turning to us to make all the changes is very old school and contradicts basic notions of personal power to affect meaningful change in your own life. Its just not equal.

When are you gonna step up?

dear anomie,
I know enough about rhetoric to know that your use of "minor" in this sentence is meiosis, not litotes. I also know enough about courtesy to use my own name on this wonderful website.
"Possibly a minor disadvantage for a humanities scholar? (If you're interested in understanding more about rhetoric, by the way, "minor" is a litotes)."

Bring on the Raunch.

As for the "feminists",

Who cares!

Individuals will do what individuals want to do. It is only when a bunch of extremists, be they feminists or queens, want to dictate what individuals must do that there is a problem.
