The sexual threats against Emma Watson are an attack on every woman

[pessimist]

You might be male biologically, but you don't seem to act like one.

What can I say? I'm an enigma. I was misdiagnosed with Asperger’s as a child because of my 'different' brain. Anyway, while I certainly wouldn't consider myself as having a 'feminine' worldview- I have always suspected, due to my multidimensional thinking, and weird thought patterns that I have an 'androgynous brain' (whatever that is supposed to mean).

The idea that you think rights are somehow granted by government, elites, etc. is indirectly opposed to any notion of male responsibility and duty

In a hunter-gatherer society this would true.

You foolishly associate beer swilling and pornography with--in your words--gun slinging. It's a sad commentary when the modern American male can't distinguish between the ability to protect one's own family with incessantly masturbating to contemporary fantasy.

Oh when I say stuff like that I am just trying to illustrate the average-American man. The guy that likes to go to the shooting range, throw back a couple of cold ones with the boys, and watch some porn after his wife hits the sack.

I am not trying to insult the traditional guy who loves God, family and country when I make comments like that. My own father is one of those guys

No, there is nothing wrong with your brain's biology, but you certainly see the world differently.

I agree...this has caused me communication problems my entire life

Your brain has simply been filled with others' confusion

I am confused by this statement.

The confusion leads nowhere except to continue to empower someone else to confer these "special rights" and other items that were your responsibility all along.

Okay, I am not saying that men don't have a responsibility to their families, but I think we have progressed to a level in society that a traditional way of life is not really relevant or even economically viable for most households. I completely understand why gender roles existed- they were absolutely necessary for the continuation of the species. However we no longer live in a world where women need to be homemakers.

As for the special rights… Look institutional oppression is real, sometimes 'special rights' are absolutely necessary for a just society. That is all I was saying. All institutions become corrupted and decay before they eventually fail.

Someone already mentioned that women don't want ingratiating men

The women in my life see me as arrogant, neurotic, occasionally funny, and a complainer. I have no idea why I am perceived on this board as "ingratiating". These are honestly my personal beliefs, and definitely not a calculated attempt to flatter strange women on the internet.

How many women are on this site anyway? I only see a few female screen names.

No, of course we don't need homemakers anymore because we now have that extra familial institution called child care. It's become so necessary that government has become involved. I suppose all those men breast feeding their kids has made sex roles antiquated too. No, of course, we longer need these things as long as there is someone else to raise your kids.

And I don't know what Asperger's or your apparently biological brain issue has to do with anything. It seems odd that you cite this issue as being responsible for your cultural beliefs, yet you think that men and women of yesteryear somehow metamorphosed into something that renders male responsibility obsolete.

I'd also like to know where you get your ideas about the "average American man." Gun ownership in this country is in the minority, let alone combining all the behaviors of visiting a range, drinking beer, and internet viewing habits.

And economically viable? The generation of your father (or probably your grandfather) WAS economically viable. Pretty interesting how all of these modern notions of "gender" roles coincide with larger government and our economic decline.

Is there a rule book that states that you must have children?

It was to illustrate that yes while I may not have a manly brain, I don't have girly one either. Wasn't it you who said I sound like a female?

I notice patterns.

Wrong. Let's take a look at the nostalgic 50s and compare it today. We have less poverty and a higher quality of life.

The problem is we live in a more 'white collar' world full of office workers. American manufacturing has been decimated, and the average working guy is competing with cheap labor. I can actually envision a future where women are the primary breadwinners- but that’s way off into the future.

Is there a rule book that states that you must have children?

The rule book for many Americans is having children and having somebody else raise them. That includes government parents. If you want kids, then be responsible and raise them.

...I may not have a manly brain...

It has nothing to do with the biology of your brain. Your views are typical of male confusion and lack of male responsibility in today's society.

I notice patterns.

The conclusions from your observations don't match the facts. Your observations are nowhere near patterns.

Wrong....50s and compare it today. We have... a higher quality of life.

Opinion.

Doubtful. Not until you figure out how males can bear children and do things like breastfeed.

 

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

I already stated in my first thread here that I am of a liberal persuasion. I am just shocked I haven't even been warned yet on here- that is a personal record for a political forum.

So you've lasted less than one month on these other forums? What other forums do you visit and why? Why were you terminated? What brings you to this forum?

That's a bit judgmental isn't it? Are you saying parents who have a baby sitter or drop them off at daycare are crappy parents? Who are you to judge? I'm sure there are many kids who live in traditional households that have a crappy life and are physically/psychologically/emotionally abused.

It has nothing to do with the biology of your brain. Your views are typical of male confusion and lack of male responsibility in today's society.

It's called adapting to ones environment.

Opinion.

Longer life, better nutrition, advances in technology and medicine, more access to information, health care, etc.

Doubtful. Not until you figure out how males can bear children and do things like breastfeed.

You don't see the working man struggling to find work in the upcoming generations? You don't need to breastfeed, btw.

Who are you to judge?

I'm the person paying the child care of the parent who is subsidized by government.

It's called adapting to ones environment.

Or engineering one's environment.

Longer life

More nursing homes, fewer family ties, more degenerative disease, etc.

better nutrition

More processed food.

advances in technology

Wheel, combustion engine, printing press, semi-conductor electronics, etc.

more access to information

Confusing knowledge with useless information.

more access to...health care

Compliments of my additional contribution to ACA for someone else.

You don't see the working man struggling to find work in the upcoming generations?

It's been happening for 50 years.

You don't need to breastfeed, btw.

Not as healthy.

I'm still waiting for some answers.
