[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please stop feeding this troll.  The reality is that women are not the source of "the problem."  The reality is that women and feminists are not "emasculating" men.

The reality is--most certainly--that men are having a harder economic time of things, these days.  And men are having a harder time helping to support and raise their families (e.g., acquiring health care--though that's improved somewhat; wages stagnant; homeownership is going down; childcare costs are through the roof; vacation time is squeezed; in some cases multiple jobs--whether that's one person having more than one job, or both parents having a total of two or more jobs; saving are down; total assets and wealth are down; entrepreneurship is down and much more risky).

People, there IS a serious problem in this country.  But it is NOT that the feminists are trying to take things away from men.

This author and the yahoos posting all kind of garbage about women and feminists especially emasculating (whatever that is) men really need to take a moment to consider the reality of what's going on.  Don't take it out on the man-hating women.  That's the wrong way to characterize your victimhood.  Are you the victim of something?  Yeah, I'd say probably you are.  But look again at what's going on.

Women need to get into the job market to help raise your/their/our kids, finance the house and vacations and leisure time (women have always wanted job and career options). Child care is expensive--who stays home if work isn't a financially viable option? Sometimes it's the man. Reality is what it is. Two parents working, the house is a mess, kids need a bath, dinner's not ready--who does it?  Hey, that stuff has to be shared or you'll both burn out.  Kids need snuggles, love, advice, support, clean laundry, a packed lunch, carpooling -- if you want to be a dad, then sign up for the full monte.

I'm going to tell you "emasculated, victimized men," working women and feminists are on your side.  ON YOUR FRIGGIN' SIDE.  Hold hands and let's do it together.  [/quote]

Totally agree. Duly chastised-  I will stop feeding the MRA troll now...[/quote]
