Of course, the supportive posts, as well as the posts that expand on your op and discuss it intelligently, are always enjoyable reading. It's when thinly veiled misogyny pops up, I'm at a loss. It's not like the article implies that women will now be imprisoning the male population en mass, and taking over the world.

If they are arrogant and mysoginistic, definitely
If they are bigoted and egotistical, definitely
If they wish to hold the concept in their tiny little mind that they are somehow better than others due to nothing more than their gender or what they percieve as their status in life, absolutely
no, not simply for being virgins

My friends, I had not intended to discuss this controversial subject at this particular time. However, I want you to know that I do not shun controversy. On the contrary, I will take a stand on any issue at any time, regardless of how fraught with controversy it might be. You have asked me how I feel about whiskey. All right, here is how I feel about whiskey:
If when you say whiskey you mean the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean the evil drink that topples the Christian man and woman from the pinnacle of righteous, gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, and despair, and shame and helplessness, and hopelessness, then certainly I am against it.
But, if when you say whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips, and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty, crispy morning; if you mean the drink which enables a man to magnify his joy, and his happiness, and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies, and heartaches, and sorrows; if you mean that drink, the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars, which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitiful aged and infirm; to build highways and hospitals and schools, then certainly I am for it.
This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise.
... transparent? Nah, just moderately translucent but I'll check the batteries on my cloaking device and take care of that
no audience = no show!
Have a good day!

It was in response to your post regarding women in kitchens. Figure it out.
He's a 30 year old in his parent's basement. Never been married, but lies about it. There's no way any woman would have him. Of course since half the men in the world are below average (him for example), half the women are too, so maybe his mother is one of those people and allows him to behave in such a manner.
I guess by your response you do not have a significant other… It is not my fought, do not get mad at me because you are not married or do not have a partner.
I left home when I was 15, and have not been back since, loll, in fact, both my parents are dead and I never got to meet my other family members when I came to the united states, So family in my life over 40 years has been obsolete and non existence in my life ,The last time I saw family was over 40 some years. ago. In the Amazon rain forest where I come from.

I'm really surprised ATS would even entertain this type of an article. It is clear to anyone who takes the time to observe and think that young men in America have been under attack for the last 30 years or so by the powers that be. This has taken the form of a multitude of mass media reports of all types (like this article) with the message that" women are more and men are less". Young men also find themselves at the back of every line behind girls in the name of "equal opportunity. If our young men are performing poorly its because girls get better educational opportunities and more encouragement. Anyone with even a minimal knowledge knows people only perform up to expectations and groups that are systematically discouraged become alienated and under perform. it may serve the purposes of the leftist media to promote a politically correct feminist society and it may serve the purposes of big business to put women in as many positions of leadership and authority as possible based on the belief they are more passive and can be manipulated to their social and economic agenda more easily (not to mention paid less). However, we may be paying for our policies on the world stage. America seems increasingly unable to make up its mind, set an agenda or assert itself with other countries. It seems unlikely. also, that masculine cultures like China or the Arab world are going to be impressed or intimidated by a country increasingly led by women. It is crucial that we revalue and promote our young men, and re capture our appreciation of the unique contributions of the masculine approach and viewpoint in our culture if we are to survive as a world leader in the years to come.

Dude, you're way too sensitive to be posting on a site like this. I wasn't attacking you personally I was merely stating a fact: Most people are just plain dumb (even so-called "educated" people), regardless of gender. Your irrational response is proof of that matter.
probably some cityboy trying to sound big while typing in his parent's basement... it's best to ignore those who have been banned from the gene pool
Some people really shouldn't breed

Unfortunately, any woman that would actually put up with something like that is probably deserving of something like that. I seriously doubt there is one, but you never know.
