Point you seem to be making is that giving women the vote was a big mistake and we are all liberals that want war and bigger government/more subsidies and programs. Right? Wrong. Many do. The Hillary crowd is all about it. But male democrats are the same way...It's a party issue not a gender issue. So, I will use this chance to say that I am a woman, and I support RON PAUL, who will end the war, reduce taxes if not end the income tax, get rid of useless federal programs/entire departments, etc. I'm sure many of you will say he's crazy but I don't care. I want a smaller government and less taxes. Oh and I'm also in favor of legalizing drugs and ending the drug war, and I'm against abortion and gun control! Really! To the whole "feminism made us fat" idea... I just have to laugh. What about feminism makes single guys eat fast food like twice a day because they are too lazy to cook real food? My boyfriend does it and I'm ready and willing to cook GOOD healthier food. You guys just like meaty burgers. Even married men eat fast food during lunch breaks and on the way to work...so it's not just that women aren't cooking dinner anymore. Open your eyeballs. Men AND women are fat these days. Why are you not getting that? Maybe we should all be vegetarian like me and we wouldn't have such a huge problem with this ;o) Wow that was long and I’m tired.

I see your point. But putting the blame on entire gender? No. No. You say that wars happened after women got their rights? Well, excuse me, but wars happened BEFORE women got their rights, as well. Civil War? Revolutionary War? What happened to those, are they non-existent? Later wars happened NOT because of women getting rights, but because of increases in technology, laws that no one liked being passed, and other countries' personal issues. Don't go putting all the blame on one sex. I've known good and bad people, on both sexes. My father is a wonderful man, my mother is a wonderful woman. Life without feminism? Think 'pre-civil war' with technology. Not so great, and morally wrong. It'll be slavery all over again. All right. I see your point.

As LBJ or JFK would have never been elected president, America would have stayed a white-black country with stable demographics (i.e., close to 90% White). If only White men could vote, the majority of them would not have voted for their own demographic displacement.

My great grandfather left the whole family never to be seen again. My 95 year old Gram still gets tears in her eyes talking about him. My grandfather was an alcoholic & on the other side Grand-dad killed himself. The women were always left to pick up the pieces & hold it together for everyone. I have a friend AND his Dad who both killed themselves. I have seen cowardice men yet I don't chalk it up to all men being cowards. I will NOT resort to being bitter & not liking all men & making generalizations as you all are. It's ludicrous. There are strong, wonderful women AND men & damn awful ones also. You are limiting your lives with your bitterness & taking yourselves to the level of the women who hurt you. Get over it already. I think Ingrid said it the best.

She sounds like a 15 year old women who found a dictionary. I particularly loved the way she berates others in her comments. She speaks of her hate for generalizations and then says it's the fault of every man for being lazy and not taking up "their share of the burden." The burden being their wives, of course. pmydkm01’s posts have no evidence supporting anything. She sounds like a 15 year old women who found a dictionary.

I don't know if feminism had destroyed america but I believe that feminism had made certain groups of women better off, but most women worst off and as a society, also worst off. Let me explain... What we have in today's world is the full swing of the feminism pendulum to the extreme end where their mission is to descredit men. We can all compare statistics and scientific facts, what not - but even these are being challenged. As a man, I can tell you how men feel in general so maybe women can listen for once without making remarks. Afterall, aren't women the ones who always listen while claiming that men do not? This is my first point in fact....I am saying let's look at some non scientific, non statistical pool for once; look at the general feeling of society towards men. Why? Because if men are respected in this society, there will be alot more respect in return! As we stand today, men are shown in TV commericals as doofus dads, boyfriends... men are often shown to be dumb and losers, while women are shown to be smart and resourceful...all in the same commerical! And what's with women kicking guys as way to solve problems in movies? Why do I present this? Because it is out there for everyone to see, right now! This has very important implications and that is... in this society, men are silly and doofus-like and not to be taken seriously and therefore, no need to listen to them. Don't even let me start with the 200+ women only colleges! So if you ask me, I would say, we are better off without feminism, because feminism has caused more damages than it has helped women!!!

I might not like women too much myself (in fact at 24, I've pretty much sworen them off and been forced into a life of celibacy. I guess I just gave up but, hey, if your an average looking guy and not a male model out here in L.A. in this day and age, then I'm confident you're on the same level as I am. To go so far as to say they "destroyed our country" is BS. Put that blame where its due; large companies cutting health care and retirement for there employees, so there stocks will go up a quarter of a point; outsourcing, illegal immigrants, the war in Iraq (which by the way we are now over 4 trillion dollars in debt over and we borrowed most of it from china), religious extremism (yeah the christian neo-con extremist just as much as bin-laden and his bunch), the near destruction of the Bill of Rights (thanks Bush!), the patriot act, ect. Yeah I dont agree with a lot of the divorce laws out there either, and yeah there are quite a few bloodsucking women out there who will squeeze the life out of a man. I know. trust me. As I said, I grew up in southern California. While I do have the hottest pool to pick from, the majority are crazy or in love with themseleves. So no, I will never get married. And I was one of the nice guys. To go so far as to say that women ruined our country is stupid. Think before you talk. I don’t see how women have destroyed our economy with womens lib.
