sex does sell because a lot of men think with their penis first. At least I know I'm guilty of that. Sex will continue to sell be cause we have a weak spot for sex. Times may change but human instincts probably take a lot longer to evolve

The irony of this post is that the toxic, undesirable women will STILL most likely pass on their genes while draining the life of any man with their vitriolic, materialistic behavior and sense of superiority. Then take the kids after shes done and mold them in her own terrible image to procreate through the ages.
Why is it that tolerance and understanding for physiological functioning is only extended to women and not men?

the past isn't the issue. the right now, is the issue. right now, the legal system is set up to abuse men/fathers/husbands. that's not logical. bringing up what happened a generation or more ago, is a waste of time, considering it doesn't fix the current problem, only dance around it with pitchforks, saying "na na na boo boo" and "karma!" it's not freakin' karma, since the men here, did none of that stuff. they are being punished for actions that predate them by decades and in some cases centuries or even millenia.

The irony of this post is how men claim and assert their superiority and still cannot see how media and society, vastly controlled by men for ages, created precisely what men think the problem is. I've said it before and will say it again. All you have to do is go into the grocery store, get items then wait in line. Look left or right...you'll see it
THERE it is...the new issues of every crap glossy magazine there is...what's that? Oh the cover? Yeah no big deal...just hald naked actresses with a body that can only really be achieved with plastic surgery, insane amounts of exercise and dieting and airbrushing that 99% of women have no access to.
See the thing is, if people, men and women, opened their dang eyes once in a while, they'd see it all around. I am not going to pretend that every woman I have met is 100% stable. No, there are some who play games and submit to drama and it is awful and so life-draining. So that apparently means every woman on the planet acts as such? We're ok generalizing the entire female population on some bad examples?
How about what we created as a society? How about gender-bias? How about not giving women an equal platform to jump from? How about not telling women that they are worth only what their body and bedroom skills say they are worth?
Go ahead, deny it and tell me I am wrong. Tell me that everything has changed! Women can vote now! That MUST mean we are all equal right? That immediately eliminates all the macro/micro-scale aggression right?
Just because we made women legally equal means absolutely nothing. They are still expected to live to this unreal standard of beauty and still made out to be objects meant to be 'fetched.'
And yet...all this time and we deny it. I don't care about that "10 hours walking in NYC" video to be honest. There are claims it was set up...whatever...but the REAL reason I don't care about that video is because I didn't need it to see what is happening out there
I didn't need the video to tell me my wife was cornered in an office and only escaped assault due to her friend arriving just in time to pick her up
I didn't need a video to literally watch in front of my eyes, my friend "H" be verbally harassed just trying to get home on a bus. It ONLY ever seemed to let after I paid the fare and sat next to her. Know what the funny part was? This idiot apologized to ME...not her. ME. Why? "Oh **** dude...I didn't know she was taken." He only left her be because he thought she was my "property." And people are still blind to the sickness?
And it happens constantly....everywhere...and yet here we sit with the same disgusting discussion over and over about how women are castrating a nation all because they are finally fighting back to gain some footing and get on equal ground
That's ok though...people will either outright deny this post, or respond telling me I sold out, or am in denial, or trying to impress the women on ATS, or some other bull crap response
The reality in my mind is this
There ARE many good men out there who realize their partner is not to be under their boot or on the pedestal as their 'princess.' And I'd wager to say as time goes on, there will be more of them. Not in any way shape or form do I pretend to speak for women, men, or anyone outside of myself...I speak for me and me alone...and this is what I see from these unreal comments here and elsewhere
Peace out
Men going their own way are men that should not be in a relationship to begin with, they cry fowl just because they don't understand their partners or what it is like to be in an adult relationship. Too much product worship and thinking sitcoms are how real life should look. One of the brilliant things about the average woman is that if you just give her a 5, she will give back anything between 7 and 8. Women don't have god knows what expectations of men. So if a man can't keep a stable healthy relationship, aside from some "obvious" examples, he is to blame. Making a woman happy and getting her to stay is easy, if you are not a self centered immature and unreliable pr!ck

ETA: Nothing from the populace actually... in general the male populace is just fine. It's the BS seen here in this thread and the others that pisses me off.

In this case, many of the tropes and obsessions come directly from a fringe, online movement that calls itself “men’s rights activism." MRA rhetoric is notable for being intensely paranoid, seeing women as a subversive group that is out to get men. They argue that feminism--particularly feminism that addresses the problem of violence against women--is not an egalitarian movement as advertised, but a darkly evil movement that invents the problems of sexism, rape and domestic violence in order to gain power over men. It’s all very silly and hard to take seriously, except that some of the rhetorical gambits of MRAs are actually being trotted out by supposedly mainstream conservatives. The result is that the already misogynist right is getting even more misogynist.
Sure, in the real world, women still make 78 cents to a man’s dollar, but listening to Rush Limbaugh, you’d think men aren’t allowed to leave the house without female escort.
