I have no use for a penis, but I don't think men are evil. Groups of women are capable of the most evil, in my experience.

Anonymous I would like to add my 2 cents from a spiritual standpoint. Men have always been evil. The first (Adversary) the enemy is a male entity who persuaded the first woman to go against the Creator, as a result she received punishment and we can thank her for our labor pains. Her son Cain was the first murderer. The first manifestion of evil power and jealously. He was cursed because he was evil. Thats just one example. The Creator had to destroy the evil dominating spirits manifesting in the male gender many times example Noah and the Flood.
Sodom and G city. Laban tricked Jacob into marrying one sister he really loved and Jacob as a result ended up with 2 wives. Laban was an very evil man (which means evil spirits were controlling his behavior.)Moses was sent to a very evil Pharaoh because he was opressing the people. You dont her that the women were oppressing anybody the are usually on the receiving end. I find it quite interesting that that all over the world when you look at the suffering going on with women and children somewhere in the background the is usually a man pulling the strings. Men (evil spirits living in them) have reeked havoc all over for centuries. Why do women cover their entire face so you can barely see their eyes cause their men want that. Why do women circumsize small girls cause the mens belief is that as women they will cheat. But that does not stop them from having sex with little girls as young as 7, neither does it stop them from stoning women that (THEY) suspect is cheating but they can have as many wives and treat them however they want. (CAN YOU SAY EVIL). Jeremiah 22 verse 23 says "Woe to the shepherds destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!" HE goes on to say he is against them and will punish them for their EVIL deeds. I believe very few men are Righteous (free from evil spirits). The way to know if a man is dominated by good or evil is to look at his behavior toward women look at his attitude toward women and look how he treats his wife. (Does he cheat, then he has a evil perverse spirit, Does he lie, then he is being controlled by the spirit of deception. Does he have a temper then he has an violent spirit controlling him. Its quite interesting that Native people call alcohol spirits because they beleive that when you drink evil spirits take you over and they are partly right the alcohol takes over an already evil person and causes them to give way to the desires that they already harbor inside them, Be it to kill someone with their car know as drunk driving or kill someone in a bar fight whatever means that they choose the alcohol will help them. Our role as women I beleive is to help these poor pitiful souls. Without us (That is if we are close to our Creator) have to help them see truth. The problem with that is we get caught in the cross fire. MOST EVIL WOMEN WERE MADE THAT WAY BECAUSE OF MEN. Mabye she does not give a SH>>> after being hurt so much. That happens Women realize that you need to take a deep breath center yourself in all this mess and corruption and take solace that THE CREATOR LOVES YOU AND HAS YOUR BACK NOMATTER WHAT. Don't beleive the hype about inferior and all that crap. WE are the few manifestation of good thats left in the world.
Thats why the enemy hated Eve so much. Resist being corrupted and try not to turn on each other(THAT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD). Stay strong in your perfect goodness. Pray ask for protection from these evil spirits wherever they are lurking. He does send help.

What you want to avoid is dicks.

That's pretty funny. It was simply humor, but it caught me of guard and it made me laugh. Thanks

If men are really so bad, why would anyone waste precious energy hating them? Anyone can be horrible-we have good and bad in all of us. That is the dichotomy of humankind. The fact that men are biologically different from women in ways that often manifest themselves in terms of how we handle intimate relationships is the source of a lot of misplaced anger. Marriage isn't for everyone either. Again , don't hate the player, hate the game. And if you hate the game, don't play it.

Bees have very small brains.

-PP beekeeper.

Well, that's kind of selective interpretation. When a new queen is created, a few number of candidates emerge and then kill each other off until one is left. If one queen is still alive while they new one is born, again they sometimes fight to death. To do this, she has a stinger. And hers is special. She alone does not die when she stings. She can do it over and over. So the hive gets to create a new queen, and they sometimes kill a disabled queen, but a lot of the decision is, for lack of a better term, combat between queen candidates or old/new queens. So yes, the hive may dispose of an aging queen, but more often the old queen flies off on her own if I am not mistaken.

The then surviving queen gets to eat without producing food. They crap and someone else cleans it up for them. They do nothing around the house whatsoever. Sound familiar? Oh, she does give orders in the form of pheromones, which tell the rest of the hive what to do.

But here is the big deal for women on a parenting site. The queen is the only one who gets to have sex with the drones. She rules an exclusive harem. No one else in all the hive gets to become a mother (with an extremely rare exception). Imagine a society in which the biggest and bitchiest head cheerleader/prom queen gets all the boyfriends and worse, has all of the children. Sure from time to time she may be overthrown, but it's not that often. Just like the head cheerleader. Except all the children carry her genes.

So if you are part of the sisterhood, you work for the head cheerleader tirelessly, and your reward is to live until you die. No promotion. No children. No sex. Occasional war.

As a woman, I would HATE to live in a place with only women. As this forum so blatantly demonstrates, get a bunch of women together and they are catty and tear each other apart.

I'm one of the dreaded 'guy's girls' on this forum. I love my sister and my mom. I have the same childhood (girl) best friend since I was 4 and some great college girlfriends, but I don't join any large groups of women, e.g., sororities, mom's groups, etc. I have always preferred to 'hang with the guys'. I found them refreshingly straightforward and honest---except for the latest group of men that are essentially turning into females.

My mom so eloquently put it "whenever a large group of women get together--they are bunch of bitches". So true.

My work group is made up of almost all women and it has the most strife in the entire agency. My 2 best bosses and most understanding to 'mom/maternity' issues were male---not the rabid, b*tches.

Saying that men are evil just because most of evil human beings are men is like saying men are smarter then women just because majority of math students are male. (BTW I don't have statistical facts on this, but who needs facts when making generalized statements like these).

For what it is worth, if a male treats women rotten it is because they allow it, and encourage it when it is not directed at themselves. Pre-historic human societies started out as matriarchies and, but because humans are humans with all the jealousy, cruelty and spitefulness that goes with it, we turned into male dominated societies, probably because males are stronger. We cannot lay it all at their feet, we, women are just as culpable as they are.

I'd gladly agree to live in a beehive if we all agree to make honey, but, heck, we cannot even agree on VPL.

Again, fascinating PP Beekeeper! I thought the queen was the decision maker and how amazing that group think leads the hive. So there is no one leader in a hive?

The queen is actually just an egg making machine. The worker bees are really the decision makers. The queen is entirely helpless. She is capable of doing nothing for herself.

And if for any reason the sisterhood decides she's losing her egg laying edge, they raise a new queen, and depose the old. They cuddle the old queen to death - they make a ball of themselves around her which gets too hot in the center to live.

Not only does she sacrifice her life in defending the hive, when bees are about to die, generally they fly away to do it, so as to not burden their sisters with having to dispose of the body.

They raise the young, gather the food, keep out invaders, find appropriate shelter - all without the help of males. They are clean, efficient, and (until humans started messing with them) were a highly successful species.

And they only keep a few drones around for mating purposes and when the otherwise useless drones are not needed - they are tossed from the hive to meet their end.

I really, really love my bees

Then again, in a beehive, there is only one queen and everything is organized around her. Not much of a sisterhood.

Interesting article about how men will soon be obsolete:

Still want them around to service me regularly, however!

Love it, PP!! I had no idea about bees! I kind of agree with PP and OP, I think women would get along so much better if there were no men. I know I personally have been so burned by my ex husband (I was pretty naive before going to the gauntlet with him) I think I could honestly do without another man as long as I live. So I feel your pain OP. But I do have 2 wonderful, sensitive, and do-right sons of whom I am VERY proud.

LOL PP. Sounds like they have it all figured out. I wish we did!
