In this column I pose questions and raise issues. I don't always agree with the conclusion, implied or stated. The purpose is to put a slightly different spin on each item and to promote discussion.
- Millions of American women voted for an accused sexual harasser and all but admitted philanderer for president. What does this say about what kind of men American women want?
- When homosexual men side with androphobic women, what does that make them?
- The battles for the minds and souls of the world are always fought on the fringe.
- In pre-Nazi Germany, a lot of people thought if they ignored Hitler, he would go away. Ignoring bigots and bullies didn't work then; why do most people hope it will work, now?
- As more young men than young women drop out of high school, shouldn't we have Affirmative Action programs that focus on helping this disadvantaged segment of the population to keep up with women?
- The First Wives Club ignores that when a successful man dumps his aging wife for a younger woman, it's not a "love triangle," but a "love square." The 4th person is the young man who cannot find love because the young woman has chosen to replace the older woman as the successful husband's trophy wife.
- Many agree women's status as second class citizens is demonstrated by how victims of rape are discouraged from reporting and prosecuting rapists. They ignore that most rape victims are male (Myth of Male Power), yet virtually all plaintiffs in rape cases are female.
- What is the female equivalent of the men's locker room (as in, "locker room" behavior)? The office, where, it seems like women talk about sex more than anything else, including work. And they say men are obsessed with sex?
- Consider Camille Paglia: author, feminist, dyke, and she's on the blacklist of virtually every feminist organization in the country. Why? Because, like men, she knows all about the games women play and female violence, but unlike most men (and all pop feminists), she's willing to talk about it in public. Guys, don't discount dykes -- we should respect their rights and embrace them as our most natural allies.
- In Women Who Love Men Who Kill, Sheila Isenberg explores the strong attraction to "dangerous men" most women feel. If most psychopaths are beguiling to most women, then the sad truth is, in a society that stresses low or no social responsibility for women, relatively few women in their child-bearing years are likely to commit to a "nice guy." What does that say about nice guys? We're unrealistically optimistic, hopeless romantics or suckers.
- When are pop feminists going to start blaming menstruation on men?
- When a woman puts off a man by saying, "How typical," isn't that sexist?
- When women verbally abuse men, it's called nagging. When men verbally abuse women, it's called a crime.
- A young woman who works at the courthouse where the civil suit against OJ Simpson is being tried says OJ sexually harassed her because he was coming on to her, and the media is on it like a fly on dung. If coming on to a woman is actionable sexual harassment, what sane man is going to come on to any American woman?
- If men should understand when most women in their twenties don't want to commit because they're going through an "experimental" stage of sleeping around with the jocks, trying out lesbianism, group sex, orgies and rock stars, then women should understand when most men in their forties want to trade-in one "forty" for "two twenties."
- Guys, have you ever noticed how, when you're waiting at a stop light and sometimes spot a "good looking" woman in the car next to you, if she sees you looking at her, she makes a big deal of locking her door, like you're a killer rapist, or something? Maybe it's time to give them a taste of their own medicine. Next time, take the initiative and make a production of locking your door, first. Why stop there? When you're walking down a sidewalk, have women going in the opposite direction ever hugged the opposite side and very pointedly looked away from you as you pass one another? Maybe it's time men started doing this to women, too.
