This is about an ATS thread? Anyone have a link?
Tho that thread is a discussion... due to its biasness some ppl may see it as bashing. But i believe that poster is banned.
something long the lines of "only the young and rich" survive or something.

Someone started a thread in which they exclaimed that only young males (18-40) would be able to survive an end of the world scenario and used the thread to bash women in a big way, to the point that their response to me was the following picture from imgur..
imgur image
They also went on to say that because I felt I was equal to men in a lot of ways that I was in their eyes a man and therefore deserved to be beaten by them.. Now normally I have a lot of fun with people like this as they are clearly angry at something, or just had a woman do something to them that made them feel like they do but it kept bugging me this image he posted so I finally did a line by line response to it.. The - lines denote the original and lines marked R: are my responses. Am i really overreacting? i think I may be.. but sheesh it finally just got to me..
So You think You’re Superior
Line By Line Rebuttal:
- You Have never been forced to die in war.
R: NO, we haven’t we choose to die in war for your freedom.
- You are not capable of performing the same tasks men do because you lack the ambition and devotion to do a good job at anything. This is why you get paid less.
R: You obviously haven’t seen any of my artwork. Which is as good as if not better than some men I know. I am also one of the most driven because of the fact that people don’t think women can or should be doing it.
- You have never ruled the world. Because you lack the enough physical strength and intelligence to lead an army or nation.
R: Two words Angela Merkel and Margaret Thatcher (and for good measure Catherine of Russia)
- The only reason you need wimpy support groups (i.e. Feminism) is because of your primal instinct of inferiority.
R: Hm.. Please direct me to the nearest Feminism Group, there aren’t any around here, and I am pretty sure anywhere else for that matter. However I know of several male only clubs that cater to the need for men to be primal..
- You have never invented anything worth mentioning during the last thousand years of recorded human history. That Computer you’re using, the electricity, the house you live in, the car you drive, the job you work for, the gasoline that fuels your car, the desk the pencil, the paper, and everything you use in your daily life was invented by men.
R: Marie Curie (discovered Radium), Grace Hopper (FORTRAN), Hedy Lammar (Secret Communications System, the precursor of today’s wireless communications), Mary Anderson (Windshield wipers) Stephanie Kwolek (KEVLAR), Rachael Zimmerman (Blissymbol Printer) the lat goes on and on and on..
- Mathematics, philosophy, science, medicine, and all of the important building blocks of modern society were created by men.
R: Actually Mathematics is a pretty base theory and transcends gender, philosophy was not created it is a type of discipline people study, same with Science and Medicine…
- You are only to provide us men with your physical beauty. Which is the only worthy talent you posses besides bearing children. If you can’t do that you’re worthless.
R: uh…. what? Name the last time a MAN gave birth to a child.. Damn straight.
- Now go make me a sandwich
R: No I don’t think so, you see, I’m too busy being productive rather than trying to figure out all the ways that men are superior, so make your own lunch..

Just saying that men have done and always will do stupid things to impress a woman.
I have been married for nearly twenty years and have always thought of my wife as an equal. I also have a daughter that I teach to have a strong will and hopefully she will not defer to the will of a jerk. Only time can tell if she is learning the lesson.

I realize there are men out there who think that way, but letting them get to you only gives them power. Ignore it as they are inconsequential.
Exactly.
IMO...OP needs to learn that it isnt necessary to have the need to validate yourself by throwing your "creds" out there to prove anything to that type. Trust me.. he doesnt care, it doesnt make any difference, and in reality he is entitled to his opinion. ( Regardless of how ignorant it is.. its his.)
Knowing my own accomplishments versus someone who thinks as that particular person thinks and being secure in myself and my own abilities.... that thread and his comments didnt bother me a bit!

That's a good lesson to teach. Children actually learn more from watching their caretakers/parents about love than any "speech" from them. If you respect your wife then you have increased her chances of finding a respectful mate by about 100%. Same thing with your wife respecting herself enough to be with someone respectful lol.
Men do act stupid chasing after girls but I think that's anyone when they're really attracted to someone. I wouldn't have wanted any cameras following me around when I was 18, that's for sure. Youth is full of mistakes. It's like that saying about youth being wasted on the young, it's definitely true!

Which goes to prove most men are as stupid as most women
