CONT'D...

An English professor wrote the words:

"woman without her man is nothing."

on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.

The men wrote:

"Woman, without her man, is nothing."

The women wrote:

"Woman! without her, man is nothing."

Foxy,the different punctuation of that sentence is appropriated the wrong way.As a lover - not a fighter [unless it's to protect my wife and children] I admit, without women, we men ARE nothing! And as the song goes-"A man without a woman.....is like a wreck upon the sand! There's only one thing worse in the Universe, and that's a women without a man!Play it again Sam!

Dear Diploman,

Ah, at last a man... a real man...

More please.

Foxy: “What has not changed, apparently over all this time, is the desire of men and women to figure out what is appropriate for their own and the other gender and to find ways to live together.”

If it were true, increasing numbers of men and women living without partners would indeed be paradoxical. As it is, the paradox is mostly found within double standards of situational feminism, and the still significant numbers of men willing to fall for those terms.

And no, I don’t much care for your definition of a “a man... a real man...”. No need for some gender language dictionary to help me decipher that the first is just a willing doormat, and the more tightly qualified, depicts an agreeable male.

There seems to be much personal sadness and anger underlying the contributions of some of the men in this discussion.

OK here is the good oil from Cohen on all this

please note that the contributor Duncster is over 70 and IMHO it is only those [like me, Cohen] who lived IN a period of sexual equality in 1960s, pre Greer, that can actually SEE the PC of today and the harm is is doing

Cohen was a genius IMHO in this video
