I am a woman's studies professor at a fairly large college, and I was browsing this forum and I find it hard to believe what I am reading. Here I thought we had made such wonderful progress towards the equality that women have been denied for so long, and then I am reading postings that are just so misogynist and sexist. Do you really want to bring us back to the dark ages of oppressing women and forcing them back into the kitchen? Some of you, especially in your teens and twenties, make me laugh because you sound like you are straight out of my father's G.I. generation with all this short, terse, macho talk. "Screw em all!" "You *****!" Haha. Too funny! By the way, did you know that that "manly" generation basically erased all of the previous gains of the flappers and womens' suffragettes, which is why we went backwards in equality in the 1940s and 1950s and 1960s and not forward? Yeah, I didn't think so.
All I can say is that I think you will probably die a very lonely death if you really believe that the man must "control" the woman and "not put up with ****." Haha. That's very funny. You are probably just scared little boys, not real men. I think real men do not actually think like this. Usually, they are sophisticated enough and confident enough in their masculinity to realize that women can be better than men in many ways, so they don't have to overcompensate. Women are still paid less than 75% what a man is paid for the same work. Did you know that? Do you want to reverse all the progress we have come to and all the gains we have made?
I am probably not even going to stay and respond to what you say because I know that you will not listen, and I guess I can't blame you, because I was the same way when I was your age. All I have to say is that if you do not believe women are exactly the same as men in every way if not better, and you do not believe that her wants and needs are just as important as a man's, maybe you ought to have a good long talk with a counselor or your girlfriend because you are probably sexist and don't understand what it's like to be a woman, or the complexity of women, or the struggles of women, not only today, but for hundreds of years. I wish you luck in getting what you need from women (and notice that I used the word women and not "girls" or "chicks")
