Battle Of The Sexes!, No chivalry here! Options

Fight club, folks! Let's keep it in the ring!!

Let's start off with some background...

And some music...

There we go!!

So, after seeing these whining women lamenting their woes with wailing and gnashing of teeth, I notice that they do so to the men. They say things about how women are better, how men are worthless, and just by being near them, they assail me with their negativity.

No more. It's time to show them where their place is. (IMG:http://workfarce.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/bitch_slap.jpg) Because I, too, can own this look of satisfaction.

Happily, I will remind every radical man-hater who invented their synthetics in their clothes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Frederick_Cross) (Crossreference: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/22620) ,
who invented their cars (Karl Benz, Founder of the Benz Motor Dynasty),
their computers (First modern computer by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert of the University of Pennsylvania, WWII era),
radios (Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi),
Air Flight (The Wright Brothers!),
their cellphones (Reginald Fessenden with technology adapted from Nikola Tesla),
and every other medium they mean to use to spread their sexist anti-man lies.

Men invented the concrete and asphalt that made the roads (John Smeaton, 1756). A man invented the Alternating Current used in the powergrid to power your hair dryer and everything in our country (Nikola Telsa). Men made the factories and shops that manufacture and distribute their so-beloved purses (First ever true assembly line by Marc Isambard Brunel, 1801). Men made the equipment they enjoy music to, and dancing at clubs to (Harry Olsen and Herbert Belar, 1955 with the first electronic synthesizer).

Men amongst men.(IMG:http://www.myepicwin.com/thumbs/MLSZRNCREI2R/NVCVNF03GS7P/GTFO-Bitch-Im-Doing-Science.jpg)

Women? There is ONE off the top of my head that I always consider to be a paragon amongst women, that deserves my respect. Florence Nightingale. She had the bright idea to sterilize the medical equipment. Let me rephrase that:

The woman improved the human condition by cleaning. How about that. I don't recall ever reading anything about her denouncing men. Then again, I don't ever recall any man-haters ever improving humanity in the first place with their bitching.

That's my first swing. I'm not going to use my right hook just yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sport_boxing.gif)

Anyhow, I am very amazed at how quickly the community here was able to dispel the stagnant negativity! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif) You really have come a long way if now you're all at the point where such rants don't so much as phase you!

Amazing. Bravo. I am very impressed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

you spoke a couple years too soon, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)




lyah: the feminist movement does attract "man haters" to it, much like a celibate religious order attracts guilt-ridden pedophiles...
but...
faustus: saying that feminism is significantly driven by man hating, is like saying the catholic church is significantly driven by a desire to force sex on children.


I'll say this, for every one time I've actually heard a woman say something sincerely sexist about men, I've heard ten men sincerely decry the evils of all those sexist womenfolk.
and that does get old. really it does.
actually I have a sudden sympathy for the 99% of priests out there who would probably rather die than harm a child.


as far as my use of the word bitch to describe a woman... notice in the same sentence I describe a man being a "dickhead"? There's no side taking, or marginalization of any particular group involved.
I'm being a humanist quasi-misanthrope who's not too serious to poke a bit of fun at her own primate species. anyway, get over the scary words, and look at the content entire. what did I really say?

I was reading between the lines of this thread, to the underlying cause of distress for the OP, and recommending (in a kind and humorous way) that he try not to let unlikable people inspire him to become unlikeable.


by the way, technically, humans are animals. We're animals, we're just tenuously on the cusp of "sentience", which is to say somewhat more developed than the other animals. But still, no need to avoid calling a spade a spade. Also, 'bitch' used to be a term of respect and admiration for women. It was meant as a compliment, implying that she was strong, loyal, a natural leader (dogs are matriarchal) etc. The meaning of the compliment got twisted at some point between 1000 BCE and 0 CE, during what historians call the rise of chauvanism in the middle eastern region. Granted, I was talking about 'mean girls', so I was using it in the post-'chauvanized' context.


anyway, yes the whole thread is purile crap. all the posts in it too. that's a given, you can know that just reading the title. But we all clicked it anyway eh?
what? purile crap can be marginally amusing.
