For me personally, I always keep it closed (and yes, guys, you would not believe the amount of grief I caught over that) So to women everywhere I say, don't be lazy when it comes to having to pee.
Originally posted by SeasickAs always, I believe your unspoken, yet crystal clear contempt towards women shines through on these types of threads that you always seem to flock to, and your zeal causes you to overlook many other facts. What about the scores of women and children who are raped, maimed and abused while men rampage in war?
BTW, I am a female veteran who upheld my duty and oath with honor and dignity.

And no, I do not believe that men in general have higher IQ's than women, I studied this a bit while in University. So those of you who like to believe that men are more intelligent than women, go ahead and keep believing what you will and ignore the evidence. I suppose it may be the only way you can feel "superior" and have some sort of one upmanship over others. Personally, I think it shows a lack of true intelligence to believe that just because you are a man that you are smarter than women.

Boohoo women. What I don't understand is why many women believe it to be appropriate to hide behind children in debates regarding gender.
Women are just as guilty if not more so of abusing children (children includes boys, btw).
Men make up the majority of the fire force, police force, and our military force, et cetera. That's good enough for me. It pains me that people like you conveniently forget that.

IMO, men have treated women awfully in history, but this is only because they had the physical size to have the ability to do so.
Society has always treated men more poorly than women.
What percentage of all conscripted soldiers who have ever served and died throughout history have been women?
Men die to protect women's lives...
How is this not oppression of men?

It is even referred to in "holy" books such as the bible and koran that sex slaves are permitted booty (no pun intended) in war.
We all know the same things happen this day and age in war too, all too well, thanks to the media and reporters leaking these atrocities out to us. But I guess in your world that is just collateral damage, not oppression.
BTW, I am a female veteran who upheld my duty and oath with honor and dignity. But maybe you should run your theory here past a few Congoese, Iraqi or Rwandan females.

Misogynistic? Or are you just throwing names around in an effort to stop any kind of discourse?
Yes, and? I also have a father.

What do you mean women AND children are raped, maimed, and abused? Why are women and children considered one and the same? Is it because women and children have the same mental capacity and maturity level? I'm asking you.
Women are just as guilty if not more so of abusing children (children includes boys, btw). In fact, millions of women murder unborn children each year in the US alone. Does that mean anything to you? Call me naive, but I'd rather live and be raped than have my life snuffed out before I had a chance to do anything.

If men and women were truly treated as equals, then you may have been kicked out of the military long ago. The physical requirements for women in the military are set much lower than men. That kind of Political Correctness is unfair and it weakens our military. Thank you for possibly weakening our military.

Is automatically a hate filled, closet homosexual, who cannot get laid, no woman would want, has mommy issues, misogynist, etc....
Goes to show you the inability of most women to admit a truth if it takes the spotlight off of them, or shows them in a truthful light.
Just my 2 cents.
