Agree, it's not. There are several systemic reasons why women, and especially women with kids, are way more at risk for poverty. But still, the list only applies to low income women. So there is a entire population of women who that list doesn't apply to.

There are a lot of women who are well educated high-earners who notice a disparity between men and women with regard to expectations for childcare. This seems to be what many, many DCUM women struggle with--whether to WOTH or SAH, being mommy-tracked, finding a job that will accommodate young children, arguments with DH over "menial" work at home, the need to take a break, etc., etc.

While poor, uneducated women have things particularly bad, please don't close your eyes to the fact that even privileged women have to face struggles that men do not. Most men I know do not seriously contemplate giving up their career to stay at home with the kids. Virtually all the women in my peer group (educated professionals) have struggled with this.

Excellent point about men not worrying about giving up their careers!!

Viagra and other ED drugs are not just for the elderly. Young gay men use it extensively as so male porn stars and even women. But overall -- ewww!

You're not a hero, you just think you are. The rest of us smile at you and thank god we didn't marry you.

The male orgasm lasts 6 seconds, the female orgasm lasts 20 (just watched a special on female orgasms on Discovery - pretty good). Also we can, and often do, have multiple ones. Sorry, you can't top that. Plus, I can quietly have one on my own without making a disgusting mess and needing wads of tissues to clean it up.

You may have pockets, but you are shut out of the world of handbags, and that is very sad. It's a wonderful world.

You seem angry when you tear down his points like that. The first PP was correct.
