Canem Malum,

I have watched it.

Have you seen him on "Sixty Minutes," with Tara Brown?
Equally respectfully.

CM, it is refreshing to see a mature and open minded person like yourself keeping us on the straight and narrow.
Some here are too set in their ways and refuse to discuss, debate or consider any other views than their own.
All too often their views and opinions are 'set in concrete' and even though they are proven wrong, will keep pushing their selfish and stubborn agenda ad nauseum.
They speak of others getting mental help, when it is they who are the psychotics.
ttbn's take on this topic stands as a clear and reasonable explanation of it.
It is only one view but it is closer to reality than the tripe some people are pushing.
The females are fearful of strong men because we are a threat to the ones pushing their ideals of pulling the men down so they can rise and dominate over the men.
Ain't gunna app'n any time soon let alone ever.
This push for equality also must not be allowed to happen.
There can only be one dominant gender.
A clear example is that women CANNOT protect themselves against a determined assailant.
As much as they want desperately, to be the 'overlord', it is just not possible.
The foolish notion that two people can arrive at a decision when they are set in opposite perspectives, is a fools fantasy.
In any sensible situation or discussion where resolution is ultimately required, you will find that there will the 'odd' person who's sole purpose is to break an impasse should the resolution be equal between the two opposing sides.
That is why men are physical and women are fanciful.

Of course there are natural differences between men
and women. Indeed there are. But differences does not
mean incapability - which is the big issue here.

Women score consistently higher than men in IQ tests,
and in highly educated countries like Sweden and Norway,
the gender gap in aptitude in maths and science among
teenagers is essentially nonexistent, despite the
long-held belief that girls suck at maths. A lot of the
so called "natural differences" really come down to
societal beliefs. Women are discouraged from going into
STEM fields for example because of gender stereotypes
that it's "for boys."

Men are stronger than women? News-flash. some are some aren't.

Most men aren't that strong unless they work at it.
And many don't work at it. Women who work at it are stronger
and quite able to handle men who aren't in condition.
Women also have better pain endurance and endurance in general.
So the question of whether men are stronger is not as simple
as some would have us believe.

Do feminists hate men?
Yes, all feminists want to lock men in basements and make them
do their bidding. (Joke)

That's why so many women marry men, date men,
have children with men, and regularly spend a lot of their time
with men.

Feminists are perfectly capable of loving men.
Especially those men who are secure enough not to be
threatened by women and who condemn silly stereotypes.
(GO, those dudes).

As for women who want equality? Women don't want to be the
same as men. They only want it to be a level playing-field.
They don't want to take anything away from men. They only want
to be given the same opportunities. I promise.
However, those times are a long way off yet. Men really have
nothing to worry about.

Van Badham has made a career out of a particular model of feminism that has two goals;
- Her type of pop-feminism is easy to sell to female consumers.
- Her articles are full of easily-refuted oversimplifications that drive traffic, because men want to pull her arguments apart.

Therefore, she churns out a steady stream of articles that follow a simple formula. A genuine problem is identified and simplistically explained. She then goes on to tell us how men need to change to solve the problem.

Feminism was started with the best of intentions and no one wants to roll back several decades of progress. It just a shame that marketers twisted it into a way of marketing things and driving Internet traffic. Van Badam is the Milo Yiannopoulos of feminism, if not the Kim Kardashian.

The Marxist feminists love emasculated men who really are cowards who fail to take leadership of their households. These men are regularly seen on the abc bowing down to the feminist domination. They are very poor role models for young boys.

runner,

If you're so concerned about young blokes growing
up to be top blokes, here's a link that might be
of interest to you. You might like to pass it on
to others who are as equally concerned as you are.
I believe their programs are excellent:

They actually do something about problems that young
blokes face.
