Thanks Lexi
I read somewhere that many of the male inmates in prison suffer from mental health issues. It would indeed be a preventive measure if these health concerns were addressed before the inevitable consequences. In a perfect world... maybe.

This is all too cerebral.

The problem is the speed limits. Just let the poor blokes go for a hundred miles an hour squirt down the road once a week, & all will be well.

He'll come back, if he does, with a smile from ear to ear, & depression will be gone. We can produce our own happy drugs given a chance.

If this is too much for you, take the poor bugger to a track day once a month. Anyone can go, with a few bits of gear. Sure he may roll the family hatch, but if he's not nagged about that, he won't care.

Oh, & girls, if you really want to reach out to a bloke, for god sake shut your mouths, & use another part of your anatomy. Many blokes will be very surprised, even shocked at such an offering, but if the shock doesn't give them a heart attack, they will be smiling & happy quite soon.

It really doesn't take too much to make a bloke happy, but you have to approach it from a blokes perspective, & do it SLIENTLY.

{Sorry ladies, but some times the truth just has to be told}

Hell, I think I've bitten my tongue while posting that.

"It is hard to believe that this catalogue of woes
applies to the group that in the past at least was
supposed to be in the upper stratum in society."

Lexi thats more to do with feminist dogma than the reality for most men.

The majority of men are not the boss at work or home, their lives have been to various degrees spent providing for wives and children. There are the exceptions who provide the images used to prop up that image of men as generally priviliged.

To my view that particular myth is part of the problem, the ugliest things done to actual men are seen as some kind of redress for the imagined privilege of all men.

Warren Farrells "The Myth of Male Power" is worth a read whatever you think of the man himself.

Sir Winston Churchill was once told by that stuck up old tart Lady Astor this.
If I was your wife I would poision you!~
His reply?
If that was so I would drink it!
I would mix it myself if wed to a couple here.
That taunt under mine came from the bigoted view all men are B*&^%DS.
Truth hurts but I withdraw nothing, some not most, but too many women do great harm to their man.
Some? penis envy? see only bad in men but never in females.

Ahoy there, Belly...

Here was I thinking this thread was reasonably balanced, with some concern shown for situation regarding men in our society.

Your most recent comment seems a little out of context - or have I missed something?
