Seeker, i note your musings about the 70s, females are no different today, they were maternal long before the 70s. Males were more peaceful in the 70s[maybe doped], today still dopes but more of a threat to humanity, they are so ignorant that they do not consider or think about their own children and grandchildren's future.
Females are necessary for the future health of the planet and species, males have proven their unworthiness, due to their evil deeds. Males are a blot on the landscape.

I am still trying to figure out if you are serious or not - are you really just having a bit of a 'lend' of our sensitive brothers on this site?

Its really not necessary - some of them can get fully enraged without any catalyst at all.

R0bert - I understand your point about issues based, however even then Seeker has not EVER said anything positive about women - even in his post above he had the opportunity to remedy this and chose not to. Whereas, your good self, despite your trials and tribulations (and believe me law doesn't work so well for honest women either) you manage to imply respect and liking for women, whether or not your agree.

And by so doing, R0bert, you make Sarah10's "males have proven their unworthiness, due to their evil deeds" look as absurd as it really is.

Sarah10, my dear, if you are not engaged in a gigantic leg pull then you are no better than the male posters who have nothing good to say about women.

Once again, Scout attempts balance.

;-)

Cheer up Hamlet, it will never happen quite that way. Who is going to do the physical work, pay the taxes, and provide the required child support? Can you imagine a female only economy?

The best we can do is to recognise that risks for men are rapidly multiplying within increasingly outdated social constructs supported by antiquated laws. The state now steps in with delusional fervour to manage families as if they were some sort of infrastructure projects (hell, they don’t even do those well anymore), to the point that families are no longer viable options for men. Well, as viable perhaps as the Sydney cross city tunnel in its current state.

So until we fix this mess Hamlet, keep your chin up, stay single, work hard, and pay your taxes. This way, you will remain relevant and in demand (as long as you don’t expect the likes of Sarah10 to ever say so).

Scoutmaster, we appreciate your attempt at balance. Perhaps that is what most of us seek to achieve here at OLO but each from within their own set of experiences, resultant POV’s and valuesets, targets and scope, skills and style

Hey Seeker, who said that I was single. Sure - I am not a father, but I am not single - 18 years - which corresponds to the time to be served for most murders...

Even though I am butt fugly - there is nearly always someone who is desperate enought to accept as a significant other someone who is in worse shape than themselves: for me - well, she is an alcoholic with a borderline personality disorder, bad back and a family that would be considered to be the cousins of the Addams family, if they were just a little nicer.

I was walking to the bus stop one day last week: there were some police checking out what appeared to be an abandoned, possibly stolen car: one of them looks up, spots me and says "Good morning (my first name), how are you?"

Well, yes, the local constabulary know me well because of the madness of my wife - they also ask me whenever they come over in response to one of her rather strange calls: "Why do you stay":

Well, I guess I am either a hopeless devotee to marital duty, or a helpless dsyfunctional basket case. Whatever - the police know that I would never harm her.

As for keeping my chin up - I will long be a meal for certain politic worms before men become obsolete. Yes it will happen: men will become obsolete: there is no job in the world that requires a penis to perform.

Anyway - leave those future women to their happiness, or misery: after all, what would future soap operas be without male characters? And have you ever noticed that no men's magazines never have horoscopes - whilst every women's magazine does? maybe this shows something about women's gulibility when it comes to such things as astrology:

a 'women's world' will be a strange one to live in.

Dear Scout, balance is a nonsense, truth and reality i realise, is very difficult for many Australians as they are fed propaganda via tv, radio and newspapers. Balance and being correct, enables the propaganda feeders their success, eg we have an ignorant and less than decent male, ruling our country, who has a very updated propaganda machine superior to that used by the evil males during WW2. He is inhumane and he does not treat females as equal. When male dominance of females ceases, then i will gladly accept males as decent and equal.

Scout, thanks for your input - it's appreciated again.

seeker, have I been wrong in assuming that the (apparent) lack of positive things to say about women is a focus on other issues? For the sake of leaving Sarah10 to her hatred if you don't have a corresponding dislike/hatred for all women can you please take the opportunity to clear this up. Is your issues with all women or just with the ones who abuse systems put there to help the needy and who continue to try and make themselves feel better by putting down men and our contributions?

It's already been spelt out before but my concerns with family law are about it's bias towards the most willing to play the system. A woman who does the right thing has little more protection against a manipulative ex than does a man (possibly some but I have not been there as a woman). Likewise in other matters I have issues with those who seek to maintain the "old priviliges" combined with the bits of feminism which suit. The guy who expects to be lord and master at home while expecting "wifey" to earn a paid income, the woman who chooses to not work and be kept in comfort but who wants all the say in decisions.

Full support for men and women who take responsibility for themselves, little for those who play the system to use others.

R0bert
