I'm a 31 year old, self proclaimed jack-of-all-trades IT guy from Ontario, Canada.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;I'm  sure I mirror a good number of folks when I say the following: I once  bought into the great lie that women could do no wrong, and that men  should be made to perpetually made to suffer for anything possible,  imagined or real. I opened my eyes when I started to notice a trend: The  deceit, lack of accountability and decadence that the 'fairer' sex  seems to thrive on at other peoples expense, and the agenda to allow it  to continue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The  above really started to resonate with me during a downturn in a once  happy relationship with my last girlfriend. The downturn consisting of  the final three months where I would endure discussions about 'the  ring'. I suppose named as such because 'fancy shackle for two months  pay' wasn't as catchy sounding. Of course, at the time, I would have  happily obliged that request, if it was allowed to be done on my terms  (i.e. make it a surprise) rather than make it seem like it was out of  servitude. That decision alone saved me from marriage; because she never  gave me enough time to make it a surprise. 'The ring' discussion came  up constantly, and I soon grew resentful that it wasn't the 'I want to  spend the rest of my life with you' discussion or 'I am madly in love  with you discussion'. Nope, just an endless loop of her talking about a  golden loop. It wasn't long before my eyes flew open and I realized the  painful truth: I had become a walking wallet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Then  my eyes opened up to some other painful realities: Divorce and how it  can absolutely jeopardize the livelihood and good health of someone  completely not at fault.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Needless  to say I had enough. One messy breakup later and I still consider  myself one lucky bachelor who dodged a bullet. It's been well over one  year since then and I feel like i'm seeing the world through different  eyes now. I've since sworn off investing anything of significance in the  opposite sex. Not out of hatred, mind you, but out of necessity.  Society has engineered a situation that propagates the ruination of any  man who buys into 'ideal love' (ie marriage). With that knowledge,  marriage has become nothing more than a divorce from logic... ...and so,  that brings me here.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Hope you have room for one more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;- B&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Read more here: &lt;a href="http://happybachelor.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=introductions&amp;amp;action=display&amp;amp;thread=6109#ixzz16X5gBWOL" target="_blank"&gt;'The Ring' @ Happy Bachelors&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was a good warning, Fellas.&amp;nbsp;

The poster in question posited that even nice  girls are sluts.&amp;nbsp; Here's why...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, let's take a look at your  typical slut; this is your typical woman.&amp;nbsp; She becomes sexually active  at 13-at the latest!&amp;nbsp; She has 4-6 short term relationships per year lasting 2-3  months each.&amp;nbsp; Between these relationships, she has a couple of one night  stands worked in between.&amp;nbsp; By the time your typical woman is 25, she  will have been sexually active for 12 years.&amp;nbsp; When we take her yearly  partner count (4 relationships + 4 ONS per year)*12, we get 96 partners  by the time she's 25; that's being conservative, because we only allowed  for ONE ONS in between her short term relationships.&amp;nbsp; If we assume two  ONS in between STRs, then we get (4 STRs + 8 ONS)*12=144; that's 144  dicks by the time she's reached 25!&amp;nbsp; That's slutting it up-er, being an  empowered, liberated woman...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let us look at what passes for  a nice girl these days, shall we?&amp;nbsp; A nice girl doesn't lose her  virginity until turning 16.&amp;nbsp; This nice girl has two boyfriends a year;  she has two LTRs lasting about six months each per year.&amp;nbsp; Now, if we  assume that said nice girl continues this pattern until 25, she'll have  slept with 18 men by the time she reaches 25; by the time she's hit 25,  our modern day nice girl will have had 18 penises in her birth canal.&amp;nbsp;  Since 18&amp;lt;&amp;lt;96 or 144, that passes as a virtuous woman these days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However,  today's nice girl will have no doubt had a couple of one night stands  along the way too; what, you think she didn't do the nasty with someone  during her spring breaks?!&amp;nbsp; Come on!&amp;nbsp; At the very least, she will have  had a couple of short term flings amongst her LTRs.&amp;nbsp; That brings the  notch count of today's 'nice girl' (or what PASSES for a nice girl  today, I should say) up to 20, minimum-all by the time she reaches 25.&amp;nbsp;  BTW, the health text books of a generation ago said that any woman who'd  had more than six or seven partners during her lifetime was  promiscuous.&amp;nbsp; Therefore, even a 'nice girl' of today is a slut.&amp;nbsp; As  Chris in Oregon would say, ICK!&amp;nbsp; Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-3050222537496215612?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-877610177206048462?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/877610177206048462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=877610177206048462' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/877610177206048462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/877610177206048462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/even-nice-girls-are-sluts-these-days.html' title='Even Nice Girls Are Sluts These Days'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-6983870669322258286</id><published>2012-01-29T09:45:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T09:47:30.030-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Sexual Catastrophe</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple of years ago, I read the great game debate over @ &lt;a href="http://www.amnation.com/vfr/" target="_blank"&gt;View from the Right&lt;/a&gt;.  While doing so, I found an &lt;a href="http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/014000.html" target="_blank"&gt;insightful post by Ian B.&lt;/a&gt;,   who renders his opinions &amp;amp; observations about what caused our   dating wasteland, and what we can do about it.  This is some of the best   stuff I've read thus far...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Ian B. wrote:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I   thought I'd throw my own two cents into the whole debate over  Roissyism  and the socio-sexual disaster, and offer my diagnosis of the  problem  and how to solve it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The Roissyites, and Mark P. [see Mark's &lt;a href="http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/013995.html" target="_blank"&gt;explication&lt;/a&gt;],   do share one profound insight: the ones who are most proximately to   blame for the social chaos are women, not men. While men do the wooing,   it is women who make the choice to accept a relationship. &lt;a href="http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/" name="more" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Typically,   when a woman throws herself at some "alpha male" and gets burned,   society places all the blame on the guy for being such a callous,   uncaring cad as to sleep with a poor innocent woman and not commit to   her. But who is he supposed to commit to? Her, or one of the several   other idiot women throwing themselves into his path?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;And  consider this: For every stupid woman throwing herself at the same   jerk that several other women are throwing themselves at, there's a guy   who is probably responsible and quite willing commit, but who is being   ignored by the tramp. So who is really being more callous, the "alpha   male" being enabled by the women, or the vain, selfish women ignoring   the decent guys? The problem here is not the existence of a few cads (a   few cads, unfortunately, have always and will always be with us), but   rather the behavior of women towards them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So, I've just said who I think is at proximate &lt;i&gt;moral fault&lt;/i&gt; for this mess (the women), but I haven't said what the root &lt;i&gt;cause&lt;/i&gt;   of it is. That is, what changed that allowed this mess to happen?  These  are two different things. For instance, imagine a town in which  all the  policemen pack up and leave one day. Subsequently, the town  falls into a  morass of violent crime. The ones to blame for the crimes  are the  criminals, but the root cause of the mess is the cops leaving.  The  solution is not to hope that the criminals will suddenly start  behaving  responsibly, but rather for the cops to come back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;With  that distinction out of the way, let me say that the cause of the   disaster is that the cops, by which I mean the majority of masculine   men, have left town, and this was caused by the acceptance of feminism.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;You  may have noticed a common thread in these discussions. The term  "alpha  male" is used interchangeably to refer to both worthless,  no-count  cads, and to the men that women find most attractive. The term  "beta  male," on the other hand, is used interchangeably to refer to both  the  responsible men, the builders of society, and to the men that women   find less attractive.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;This   might seem strange. There is no necessary logical link between these   things. In fact, you might tend to assume that the responsible builders   would be stronger, more authoritative, and hence more attractive in   general. However, there is a contingent link between these two things   within current society.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The   problem is that because of feminism, men have been taught for decades   that they ought to be sweet, sensitive doormats, attentive and   deferential to women's needs, seeing women as goddesses on high   pedestals. This message has been preached by the schools, in the media,   and even by their families. Unfortunately, this is precisely what turns   women off. Regardless of what they think or say they want, most women   are actually attracted to (and happiest with) a strong, independent,   assertive man who will dominate and lead them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;And  since this is what is taught everywhere, only the sociopaths and   renegades--that is to say, the unteachable cads who scorn the wisdom of   everyone else--manage to avoid absorbing this lesson, and hence end up   being the most attractive to women. The potentially responsible leader   types are instead conditioned into being feminized squishes by the time   they reach adulthood, and so end up being "beta males."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So, here's my two step solution:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;1)  First of all, men need to be taught to be strong and independent   again, from an early age. They need to be taught that women are   attracted to assertive, dominating guys rather than suckups. They also   need to be taught to see women for what they are: fallen and flawed   humans, possessing merits, but also emotional and emotionally   manipulative, to be led, and not shining goddesses of wonder to be   appeased. This would at least put these men on an even playing field   with the cads and the Roissyites, in terms of attracting women, which is   half the battle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Of  course,  the idea that we should just start teaching men differently is  easier  said than done. There is one place where it is possible,  however: Within  the conservative Christian community. There is Biblical  precedent for  men as leaders, and the conservative Christian community  has shown  itself surprisingly capable of coming alive and quickly  embracing a new  movement when it is clear that Scripture is on the  movement's side.  Witness their rapid mobilization with slavery and  abortion, for  instance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;What  about the  secular "beta" males? Well, there's really no hope for them.  But really,  it's no big loss. There's really nobody more pathetic and  shameful than  a person who both rejects Christianity and gets immersed  in and  emasculated by feminist dogma. Like the contraceptive-using  cads,  Roissyites, and slutty women, they will die childless and alone,  and be  outbred by the Christians even more than they already are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;2)  These newly-minted masculine men need to start engaging in shaming,  to  establish societal order again. Right now, when a woman gets burned   going after a bad boy, most sweet, sensitive "beta" males sympathize   with the poor besotted woman, and blame the heartless jerk who did it to   her, hoping that they can get her affection with their sensitivity. It   doesn't occur to them that while she was throwing herself after the  jerk  and being subsequently left high and dry by him, other men were  being  left high and dry by her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;A  man  who has been trained to see women for what they are will recognize  and  shame the primary guilty party: the woman. Rather that join her in  her  pity party, he will blame her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Honestly,  step (2) isn't really a separate step, and should come  automatically  with step (1). The shaming doesn't even have to be overt.  It simply has  to take the form of attractive men rejecting women for  being sluts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Women  already  insult each other all the time for being whores, but that  doesn't really  bother them. What really shames a woman, what really  frightens her  deeply enough to modify her behavior, is the prospect of  being rejected  and found unattractive by desirable men.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;If  women think that being slutty will make them generally less  attractive  to desirable men, they will be shamed into not being slutty.  And if  there are a good number of desirable men out there that happen to  be  Christians, this should start to take care of itself. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's   some of the best analysis as to what caused our dating &amp;amp; mating   wasteland; not only that, Ian B. offers some suggestions too.

It's so gosh darn bad (in a train wreck sort of way) that I can't help but watch it!  Over @ &lt;a href="http://www.inmalafide.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Ferdinand Bardamu's place&lt;/a&gt;, there was &lt;a href="http://www.inmalafide.com/2009/12/11/guidopocalypse/" target="_blank"&gt;a post about MTV's hit show&lt;/a&gt;.    In the comments, a chap by the name of Canon's Canon said that the   show is a veritable petri dish for studying 'Game'.  While he has a   point, that's not the tack I wish to pursue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canon's Canon is right about one thing: MTV's &lt;i&gt;Jersey Shore&lt;/i&gt;   is a petri dish for studying relationships.  To me though, it's a  petri  dish of what NOT to do for pursuit of a healthy relationship.  In  that  show, one can see everything that one can do wrong to pursue a  healthy  relationship, i.e. one that is a blessing &amp;amp; enrichment to  both  parties involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does MTV's &lt;i&gt;Jersey Shore&lt;/i&gt; show  us what  NOT to do?  Where do I start?!  One, both men &amp;amp; women are  pursuing  relationships based on attraction only.  Two, we don't see  anyone really  getting to KNOW one another-and I don't mean Biblically,  either!   Three, guys &amp;amp; gals bed down at the drop of a hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing that jumped out at me when watching MTV's breakout show, &lt;i&gt;Jersey Shore&lt;/i&gt;,   is that both the guys &amp;amp; girls are chasing one another SOLELY based   on attraction; it's the only litmus test being used by either sex  these  days!  I've seen no attempt by either the men or the women (am I  being  too generous with those descriptors?) to REALLY get to know their   partners on the inside.  The only question they ask is this: is he/she   hot?  Does he/she get my hormones racing?  WTF are you doing, people?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The   second thing I noticed is this: the men &amp;amp; women aren't getting to   know one another.  I haven't see ANY substantive discussions on current   events.  I've seen no substantive discussions about money &amp;amp;   finances.  I've seen no discussion or even mention about future goals.  I   haven't seen any discussions about ANYTHING of substance-nothing!    These aforementioned issues are what I call 'make or break' issues;   these are issues that can, and often do, sink relationships.  Men &amp;amp;   women are pursuing relationships with one another while having no idea   of who the other is as a person-none!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third thing I've noticed on &lt;i&gt;Jersey Shore&lt;/i&gt;   is that guys &amp;amp; gals hop into bed with one another almost  instantly.   What are you doing, folks?!  Ronnie &amp;amp; Sammi, after only  a few  talks and one date hopped into bed with each other!  I'm sorry,  but  that's way too soon to have sex with someone!  Even if one doesn't   believe in saving it for marriage, doing it right after meeting someone   is too damn soon!  If younger men (and especially younger women) are   doing this, is it any wonder that STDs are so prevalent?  Is it any   wonder that there's so much angst about relationships?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What ends   up happening is this: relationships are based on little more than sex.    In far too many modern relationships, the only glue holding them   together is the physical.  There is little or no mental connection made   between the man and the woman.  There is little or no emotional   connection made.  Finally, there is little or no spiritual connection   made.  In order for a relationship to last-REALLY LAST-it has to have   all four elements present; there have to be mental, emotional,   spiritual, and physical bindings holding it together.  Only then will a   relationship have what it takes to last.  When there's only one binding   (especially when it's the physical, as is usually the case in modern   relationships) holding it together, the relationship simply doesn't have   the strength to withstand any serious stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men &amp;amp; women   are pursuing one another based on attraction; granted, the attractants   are different for men and women, but they're pursuing one another based   on attraction nonetheless.  Sorry, but attraction != love.  It never   has, and it never will.  I'm not saying that your beloved should be   repulsive, but attraction alone cannot and should not be the sole basis   of a healthy relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what's happening.  Man &amp;amp;   woman get involved with each other solely based on their attraction for   one another.  They do not really get go KNOW one another.  The   relationship progresses to the point of marriage.  The marriage   inevitably has tough times, which stress the relationship.  Only then do   the husband and wife realize that they're complete strangers!  Only   then do they realize that they do not really, truly know one another.    Only then do they realize that they're not at all in agreement on the   'make or break' issues.  Is it any WONDER we have so many divorces?!    Come to think of it, it's a wonder we have any marriages that survive at   all, given the shaky foundation on which they're built.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, MTV's hit show, &lt;i&gt;Jersey Shore&lt;/i&gt;,   shows us what's wrong with modern relationships, and the way that men   &amp;amp; women approach them.  Attraction is the only litmus test used to   determine who's 'right' for them.  It never occurs to men &amp;amp; women   that there has to be SOMETHING else to get them through the next 30   years.  Because modern relationships don't have that something else to   survive long term, they end up being train wrecks, littering the human   landscape with hurt, pain, anger, and goodness knows what else.  In   light of this, it's a wonder there aren't more divorces!  Until next   time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-1417281343646490076?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-93372260313768711?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/93372260313768711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=93372260313768711' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/93372260313768711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/93372260313768711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/mtvs-jersey-shore-as-petri-dish-of.html' title='MTV&apos;s Jersey Shore as a Petri Dish of Relationships'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-8947072190902856581</id><published>2012-01-24T06:23:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T06:23:28.796-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Franz Klammer's Gold Medal Run</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is something I posted years ago.&amp;nbsp; As I reconstruct the blog, there are certain things I want to have front &amp;amp; center; this is one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the gold medal run Franz Klammer made in the 1976 Winter Olympics, the same year Dorothy Hamill won the gold in ladies figure skating.&amp;nbsp; I was 13 going on 14 when I saw this live, and it's something I never, ever forgot; it's one of my favorite memories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I liked and admired about Klammer's run is that he flat out WENT for it; he was going to win, or he was going to die trying!&amp;nbsp; All through the run, he's on the edge, the edge of disaster.&amp;nbsp; What's even more impressive is that he did this using the old, heavy wooden skis!&amp;nbsp; He didn't have the modern, composite wonders today's skiers have.&amp;nbsp; Imagine what Klammer could have done with modern skis and training techniques?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sYj9kIxAL_o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.

Grant once said that the best way to repeal a bad law was to STRINGENTLY ENFORCE it.&amp;nbsp; The corollary here is that, by stringently enforcing feminism and the equality it promotes, is that we sooner bring about the end of feminism as we've known it.&amp;nbsp; If we want to put an end to this equality nonsense, then the best way to do that is STUFF it down women's throats till they choke!&amp;nbsp; What can be better than stringently enforcing equality when it comes to boarding the lifeboats?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My second observation from the Costa Concordia sinking is this: women do indeed want fried ice.&amp;nbsp; While that's an old, Arab proverb, it states a timeless truth.&amp;nbsp; When going through the &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2086826/Costa-Concordia-cruise-ship-accident-French-survivor-tells-husband-gave-lifejacket.html" target="_blank"&gt;Daily Mail article and its comments&lt;/a&gt;, the vast majority of women would, on the one hand, chastise men for being cowards for having the temerity for valuing their own lives and saving themselves; then, these same women would turn around and say that they were equal to men, that they had equal rights, etc.&amp;nbsp; Here's a quote that typifies &lt;a href="http://www.inmalafide.com/blog/2009/10/06/eternal-solipsism-of-the-female-mind/" target="_blank"&gt;the eternal solipsism of the female mind&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The feminists have been crying out for equality - you got it, so stop whining! ---------- Please, sir, do forgive me for wanting to enjoy the same rights as a man. How dare I, a mere woman, be so audacious as to dream of equality. And to all those saying "women want it both ways" - we quite clearly don't, as proved by the fact that not a single woman has commented saying women and children first is the way it should be. Yes, we want equality, and yes, we know what it means - and fyi, you don't have to be a woman or a man-hater to be a feminist. Look up its definition before spouting your ignorant opinions. &lt;br /&gt;- Hellen, North East, 15/1/2012 9:59&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When called out on their hypocrisy and inconsistency, these same women will deny saying that they want men to die first.&amp;nbsp; While they are TECHNICALLY correct (i.e. they didn't explicitly state this), they are not factually correct; they are not factually correct, because these same women are implicitly saying that we, as men, should die first.&amp;nbsp; Why else would they break out the shaming language?&amp;nbsp; Why else would they call men cowards for saving themselves?&amp;nbsp; Why else would these same women bemoan the lack of chivalry?&amp;nbsp; Is it not because they DO believe that they should get preference for seats on the lifeboats?&amp;nbsp; Here's a comment that exemplifies this train of thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stronger, more able people, people who are more likely to survive adverse conditions should be the last to leave the boat. And seeing as able bodied men are nearly always stronger than able bodied women - then yep, its this group of men that should go last. It has nothing to do with 'equality' and everything to do with helping those people weaker than yourself. Its called bring a decent human being. Able bodied men that think otherwise are nothing but bitter cowards. Being a fairly small, but single woman, I'd help children and anyone that appeared frail or disabled before expecting to get on a lifeboat first. Thats only fair. But an able bodied man before me on the basis of 'equality'? Absolutely not!&lt;br /&gt;- disgustedoflondon, london, 16/1/2012 7:48&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's an even MORE blatant example of women wanting it both ways...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Women have already lost the respect and rights to be treated differently from men after claiming that they r equal to men.. In good moments, you want same rights but in bad moments you women become a lady.. Stop this hypocrisy ok ? Mark, Canada I'd like to think I'm a lady in both good and bad moments :) Equality means things like equal pay for equal work and not being prevented from gaining promotion because of one's gender ... no one (apart from you, perhaps!) seriously believes that women are physically the same, and that difference should be respected. If you're just going to shoulder the weaker members of society out of the way when it suits .. well, I can't really find the words. Thank goodness there are still gentlemen as well as ladies out there.&lt;br /&gt;- caroline mayor, rennes, france, 16/1/2012 10:11&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Caroline is saying above is this: I want equality when it suits me, and I want chivalry when it does not.  When the paychecks are handed out, I want equality; when the bills come due, I want chivalry.  I want to have my cake and eat it-wah!  BTW, there's nothing hypocritical and inconsistent about that-at least not in her mind or the minds of most women.&amp;nbsp; Can anyone deny that women want fried ice?&amp;nbsp; Can anyone deny &lt;a href="http://www.inmalafide.com/blog/2009/10/06/eternal-solipsism-of-the-female-mind/" target="_blank"&gt;the eternal solipsism of the female mind&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I would like to share with you some quotes showing that men are waking up.&amp;nbsp; I would like to share some evidence that men are wising up to women and their bullshit.&amp;nbsp; Women wanted equality, so men are starting to give it to them, hehehe... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Referring to the headline - women now have equality.

Notice how, with one or two sentences, the men just lay out the obvious truth to women?  Notice how women cannot understand these simple, obvious truths?  Notice how women do not want to face the CONSEQUENCES of what they asked for-indeed, demanded?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I have some longer, more eloquent quotes from men poking holes through women's bullshit...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Only Children and Elderly people should be given priority. Women don't deserve it as men and women are equal. Women are enjoying the same rights and opportunities as men. Women and Men are equally employed everywhere but when it comes to hard work, women most often refuse to do it and instead they ask their men colleagues to do hard jobs even though women get equal pay as men. Women are not physically weak. Women take part in extremely strenuous games like cycling, swimming, wrestling, tennis, racing etc... Everyone gets life only once. Why he should risk losing his life just for a woman ??? Do you women think men are that stupid ? Women talk about true gentlemen but what about true women ??? I have never seen any true woman in my whole life.. Is there any real woman out there? If No, so stop talking about true Gentleman.. OK..&lt;br /&gt;- Mark, Canada, 16/1/2012 12:25&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pete in Sheffield - I agree partially. Children going first, yes. But women? After a century of complaints of male dominance and pleas for equal rights, women shouldn't be able to pick and choose when the feel they are vulnerable. In 2012 everyone should have got off that boat, but there is no reason at all why men should be held up for the sake of women. If we were to stick to ridiculous P.C rulings, there would be many more dead while officials ordered off passengers by vulnerability.....children first, then disabled, then anyone on medication, OAPs, women, ethnic minorities, then finally can the abled man...oh sorry too late.&lt;br /&gt;- Bobby, Manchester uk, 15/1/2012 9:05&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure where to come down on this one, on a personal level i agree with the policy women and children first as that's just who i am, however, this is also an old policy, and while kids should still be first the women part is debatable as the time this view comes from is long gone. A large number of women tell us quite loudly that they no longer need protecting or looking out for or any kind of special treatment and that this is no longer chilvary but simply offensive to them, yet whenever there's a disaster etc they always moan about the brutishness of men, we just can't win against this ever growing number of warped minded women so perhaps they'd all like to get together and let us know just what they would prefer, would you still like a bit of chilvary or not? It is for men to decide when to apply it, not women, so want it or not is the only choice, likewise for equality, do you want the same jobs at the same pay, or the same pay but with concessions because you're a woman?&lt;br /&gt;- Dave, Birmingham, 16/1/2012 9:08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The women first tradition is an archaic concept left over from a time when the population was small and infant mortality high. In a time when the rightful concept of women's equality has morphed into something resembling a gynocratic supremacist movement such customs appear less than necessary and the privilege of first place should be reserved for the old, disabled and children not healthy adults. I received my lifeboatmans certificate in 1971 from Gravesend sea school at the age of 14 and have done countless lifeboat drills sometimes in heavy seas, the whole thing appears to have been a complete shambles from start to finish on this particular vessel, considering land was only a few meters away there should have been no real need for anyone to even get their feet wet however on the news clips it appears the passengers had taken charge with a lot of shouting and screaming unsurprisingly most of the voices appear to be female.&lt;br /&gt;- Leew, lancashire, 16/1/2012 3:06&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm amazed in an era of supposed equality, women still have a sexist and arrogant assumption they should evacuate a sinking ship before men. Certainly children (with fathers &amp;amp; mothers), elderly, pregnant and disabled should get priority, but not the able-bodied generation of women who've been shrieking dementedly about equality for decades. No, you can stay behind with the men and demonstrate this much lauded concept of 'I can do anything a man can do'! You can thank feminism for that. If women are using children to get priority on the lifeboats, why should it be any different for fathers protecting their children? I noticed a number of female commenters attempting the tried and tested shame and guilt tactics, as they desperately seek to maintain the best of both worlds. Now that's shameful in itself! Women need to climb down from their self-exalted chauvinistic pedestals and start mingling with mortal men.&lt;br /&gt;- Magnus Carta, The 6th EU Region, UK, 16/1/2012 9:06&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Women and children go first because they're physically weaker than men, its not sexist, just right. - Jam Sandwich, London UK"&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; This isn't true in every case. I'm in my fifties but reasonably healthy/mobile, so I wouldn't expect a frail 70 y.o. man, for instance, to give up his place for me. Perhaps the priority should be "children and the old and/or infirm"? - Helen, Kent, 16/1/2012 12:11 ++++++++++++++++ Just Face it.. ok.. Women claim that men and women are equal.. Women are enjoying the same rights and opportunities as men so why women should be given priority over men ? It does not make any sense. It is totally sexist.. Women have already lost the respect and rights to be treated differently from men after claiming that they r equal to men.. In good moments, you want same rights but in bad moments you women become a lady.. Stop this hypocrisy ok ?&lt;br /&gt;- Mark, Canada, 16/1/2012 8:40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women can't say they want to be treated no differently than men and then turn around and say actually they would like to be treated like a "woman" on this occasion. The reality is there is no such thing as a "woman" any more. Women are the same as men, that is what our female teachers at school drum into boys heads all through their school years. Besides why can't women use their much fabled "Girl Power" to save themselves and their children?&lt;br /&gt;- Slicer, The Devil's Manor, Hell, 16/1/2012 12:29&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Equality means things like equal pay for equal work and not being prevented from gaining promotion because of one's gender ... no one seriously believes that women are physically the same, and that difference should be respected. - caroline mayor, rennes, france, 16/1/2012 15:11 ---- But that's just the problem Caroline, while in some jobs there is no difference in others there are, for example I worked for a contract cleaning company when i was younger that primarily operated in large event centres, a large part of this job was to clean the ceiling fans/duct work, all of the women refused to climb up the ladder and do it "as they were a woman" yet they all got equal pay and we all held the same job and for the life of me i can't see how a man falling 50ft is less likely to injure him than a woman falling 50ft While physical differences should be respected if they prevent someone from doing an aspect of a job they can't then demand the same pay under equality legislation&lt;br /&gt;- Dave, Birmingham, 16/1/2012 10:51&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a good comment-from a WOMAN, no less!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Can't believe some women are moaning that men did not give priority to women. You wanted equality? Well here it is, good or bad. I'm a woman and I would not expect any man to put me first in such a situation. Why should he? If my brother or father had been on that ship and drowned, I certainly would not take comfort in knowing that he had sacrificed his life for a woman such as some of those on this board. I'd like to know how some of you have to come to hate men so much. Extremely odd, infact it is almost bordering on obsessive! Some men are very kind, you need to open your eyes. Nine times out of ten when I am crossing the road it is a man that lets me cross - many women would run you over!!&lt;br /&gt;- Amy, London, 16/1/2012 8:17&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ladies, you all wanted OUT of the social contract, remember?&amp;nbsp; Remember how you said that doing your womanly duties was oppressive?&amp;nbsp; Remember how you said that you wanted to be LIBERATED from being accountable to men?&amp;nbsp; Remember how you wanted to be freed from your DUTIES to help and serve men?&amp;nbsp; Well, you got what you wanted.&amp;nbsp; However, when you opted out of your end of the social contract, you also released us men from OURS...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, here's a short quote that provides a segue into my final point...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Just goes to show men these days have no respect for women and children.&lt;br /&gt;- Martine, London UK, 15/1/2012 12:44 &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that begs an obvious question, Martine.&amp;nbsp; Why should men HAVE respect for women these days, hmmm?&amp;nbsp; Why would I respect someone living the "Sex and the City" lifestyle?&amp;nbsp; Why would I respect someone who engages in &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2080921/999-calls-treble-New-Year-revellers-2012-old-trouble.html" target="_blank"&gt;skanky, laddette behavior&lt;/a&gt;?&amp;nbsp; Why would I respect someone who's main aspiration in life is to be on Girls Gone Wild?&amp;nbsp; Why should I respect someone who's MURDERED their own baby?&amp;nbsp; Who the hell does that?!&amp;nbsp; Who, other than an evil woman (redundant?) would murder their own baby?&amp;nbsp; You know that there have been over forty MILLION abortions in America since Roe v. Wade, right?&amp;nbsp; Why should I respect a sex that doesn't even oppose this hideous practice?&amp;nbsp; Why should I respect women again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, I like what we've seen in the Costa Concordia sinking.&amp;nbsp; One, it shows that men are wising up and waking up; men are realizing that they too are humans, and therefore have just as much right to live as women do.&amp;nbsp; Two, it's more proof that women want fried ice, and that they're NOT fit to vote or hold positions of authority.&amp;nbsp; Finally, there's no good reason to respect women anymore-not when it was THEY who first violated the social compact that had existed between men and women for thousands of years.&amp;nbsp; Ladies, you want to be released from the 'oppressive' terms of your end of the social contract?&amp;nbsp; Fine, then we too can be released from our end of the social contract-which was really oppressive when you consider that we had to sacrifice our lives for your sorry asses!&amp;nbsp; Thankfully, we, as men, are no longer locked into OUR end of the social contract.&amp;nbsp; That is the REAL lesson of the Costa Concordia, and I think it's about damn time.&amp;nbsp; Thank you, and good day now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-9191757183148909761?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/9191757183148909761/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=9191757183148909761' title='32 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/9191757183148909761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/9191757183148909761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/costa-concordia-equality.html' title='The Costa Concordia &amp; Equality'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>32</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-5485090667919517609</id><published>2012-01-22T10:45:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T10:45:00.148-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Marriage Is Mediocrity</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was hangin' out @ Happy Bachelors, and I saw this posted.   It's originally from the Don't Marry archives, and I thought that my  boys would like to see it here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://dontmarry.wordpress.com/2009/06/19/marriage-is-the-cradle-of-mediocrity/" rel="bookmark" target="_blank"&gt;Marriage is the cradle of mediocrity.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Marriage-is-Bad-for-Men&amp;amp;id=932110" target="_blank"&gt;Why Marriage is Bad for Men&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Mac Mcmann&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did  you ever see a truly happily married man under the age of say sixty? I  mean a real man, one that could help you move a couch, or run a software  company. A real man has direction in his life, goals, ambitions; a real  man takes the life given to him, and creates something that is a  reflection of him. He uses all his abilities everyday, every way he can  think of, and when he is done with his current task he moves on to  another one. These men are rarely married, and even rarer happily  married, they are the snow leopard compared to the house cat. And the  reason these men are not married, is because marriage is confining,  defining, and boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest enemy to a life fulfilled is  routine and boredom, ala marriage. Marriage is a trap laid early by  society, misery loves company. The miserable peddle this lifestyle.  Women lay the trap with lots of sex, good food, a clean bathroom, all  can be yours, if you just get married, never again will you go without  the gifts a woman can bring. The life seeking man recognizes those traps  ahead of time. They are not the lions at the bottom of the pit with the  slab of meat dangling precariously over it. They see the trap of  marriage ahead of time, the trap of being snared and held up for public  viewing with four walls around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Married men are on display, a  zoo animal that does what he is told, eats when told, works when told,  hell they even copulate when they are told. They try to make their  little display the best of anyone they know. Look at me in my suburbia  American dream, look at my house, look at my boat, and look at how my  kid can pitch. Aren’t I doing great? Aren’t I?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there are  men who do what they want, when they want. These are the men usually  loathed by the domesticated men, loathed by the society at large, most  of whom dwell in their cages. And then these men are later featured on  60 Minutes for what they have become when they re-write the rules of  their particular endeavor. And they did it all without being bored,  without being told what to do, and without being married to a woman who  thinks it is her job to tame the beast, and churn out a carbon copy of  the man in the next cul-de-sac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man can survive all sorts of  tragedies and set backs in their time on Earth. But accepting boredom is  accepting death. It is not greed, violence, jealousy, desire or any  other trait but boredom that is the ultimate downfall of man. An  unwillingness to fight boredom with the ferocity of a mother bear is  acceptance of a life not worth living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marriage is the cradle of  mediocrity and is beaten into our heads as the thing to do all our  childhood. Grow up, fall in love, get a job, and then have kids. In our  society marriage is the stage for child rearing. Boys don’t have real  men in their home as role models. That is why boys idolize celebrities.  They are starving for role models of success, of individualism, of  vision and achievement, not someone who spends all day playing yes man,  and then can’t even remember the hot sauce at the take out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately  for many men they recognize the trappings, after the life of  domesticity has firmly gripped their soul. Breaking away is not easy,  but it is done on a frequent basis. The saddest thing to see is these  men given their freedom at a huge financial cost, and then what do they  do with their freedom? They go right back into another zoo, another  cage, thinking it will be better with a different zoo keeper. But  entrapment is entrapment, no better the quality of the trap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then  these twice fooled creatures are seen lying to the world and to  themselves saying that they are happily married. Like a trained poodle  they jump through all the hoops their wife and boss put before him,  after completing each trick they pant their little tongue, wag their  little tail, and await the kibble for their little reward. Good doggie,  good doggie, you play your cards right for the next six days, you might  get some Saturday night. Or kiss up for the next seven years and you  just might be Junior Executive. And all the while he holds his wife up  like a trophy, his quality of entrapment defines him, as he trades up  for the biggest cage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He plays life like it is a monopoly game,  go around and around and avoid landing on anything painful. He seeks  comfort, safety, and sameness. And you can see it in his eyes, the  boredom of a meaningless game, playing by rules he didn’t invent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  choice is each of ours, on the one hand you have certain boredom until  death, and on the other you have the unknown. Not monopoly but a  pirate’s adventure, things can go wrong, there can be pain, there can be  real fear, but there will never be boredom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately most  men choose the boredom without really knowing the alternative was so  obvious. Does the snow leopard want the one sure meal at the cost of his  freedom, or would he rather starve in a blizzard seeking the last  rabbit in his territory. The choice is yours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  thought that was good, so I stayed up a few minutes late to share it.   Good night, and remember Fellas: stay single, happy, and free; the life  you save may be your own!

They  are not the property of society; they are not slaves; they are not  indentured servants; they are absolutely not obligated to serve  anyone, especially not today's modern "woman".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only an idiot who  puts their hand in the fire and gets burned, puts his hand in the fire  again because the fools around him telling him he might not get burned  twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MGTOWs are not losers, they're not winners, they're not  players; they are men who have decided their lives are their first  priority and nobody else's, especially not today's "empowered" women  takes precedence over this; they are not sacrificial lambs to be used to  appease a corrupt society's appetites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going our own way means the pathetic morals, values and ethics of this rotting society no longer apply to us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;We DO NOT choose to honor traditional roles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;We DO NOT choose to follow the script written by others for the benefit of themselves and not us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;We DO NOT choose to be victims or allow ourselves to be victimized any longer.&lt;br /&gt;We are NOT bitter losers, uptight and frightened men or anything else.&lt;br /&gt;We  are men who have declared our independence from this illusion you call a  society where our value is determined by others, we don't not allow our  self image to be defined by others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what is most  frightening to the manginas and the white knights and the feminist  trolls here is that some of the slaves have risen up, and decided they've  had enough; they aren't going to play by someone else's rules any longer. We  are men whose message must be discredited, suppressed and ignored; we  are men who are intrinsically disruptive to their illusions of what a  society should be, one where authority, whether secular or religious,  must be obeyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This isn't about female game characters when you  come down to it; it's about a man looking into his mirror in the morning  after waking up and telling himself, "I am a human being; I value  myself; I deserve to live with pride, and be treated with dignity."

I must warn you though: if you've just eaten, if you are  squeamish, or if you're a woman, DO NOT READ THIS!  What you're about  to read is graphic, but it's necessary if we men are to control our sex  drives; it's necessary if we're to reclaim our power as men.  Once you  take sex out of the equation, women have little or no power over  you-remember that.  Now, on with Christopher in Oregon's examination of  genital warts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Warning: Graphic conversation follows:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Ah,  yes. The effects of an aging or weakened immune system can be profound  when it comes to genital warts. They can mass in huge cauliflower like  piles, and grow to gigantic proportions. Once the immune system is on  the decline, all bets are off. From what I've heard and read, the smell  from genital warts can be horrific. Poop and other filth gets trapped  beneath the blossoming tops, and is impossible to clean. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Combine  that with Herpes sores, and you've got yourself quite a mess. I can  only imagine trying to treat the pain of Herpes sores that are located  on massive genital warts, all the while my penis is oozing green puss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Graphic? Disgusting?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;You  bet. We need more of that. Hollywood makes light of sex, and rarely  mentions the downside- STDs. If they do, it's a vague reference to  something that requires a shot of penicillin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The  days of penicillin are OVER, boys! The stuff that's out there is NOT  cured by any medicine, and not prevented by condoms! Women today are  FILTHY, as are, sadly, most men. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;If  you would be clean, if you would be healthy, if you would be wise, then  renounce all sexuality! I admit I was deceived in recent years, and  thought I could engage in the use of pornography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;WRONG!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;ALL  sex leads to physical decay. Do you really want to lie in bed some day  as an old men with twenty pounds of quivering warts dangling from your  groin like some beast from "The Blob"? Maybe it will grow eyes and stare  back at you.....?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It  isn't good enough to stay single. It isn't good enough to not date. If a  man would be strong, if a man would be wise, he must clear his mind of  lust. Stop viewing porn. Stop watching ANY modern films or television  shows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;STOP LISTENING TO ANY MODERN MUSIC, which seeks to enslave you with filthy lyrics and that filthy "beat"! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I listen to four to eight hours of classical music a day, sometimes more. It purifies the mind and soul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;To  be free from the evils of lust, to be free from God's judgment of STDs,  you had better man up, and renounce sex in all of its forms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;There is no room for error these days! If you screw, you will GET screwed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  remember the first time I heard about genital warts. I had gone to the  Oregon State University Medical School bookstore, and bought some  hideously expensive books on STDs. I was young. I was horny. But, I was  still religious. I wanted to get laid. But, something was holding me  back. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;My parents  warned me about women. They warned me about diseases, yet what did my  parents know about HPV or Herpes? Nothing. Nor did I. I just knew that  sex carried the risk of the STDs that were present back when my parents  were young. Little did I suspect that the landscape had changed  dramatically. New bugs abounded, like HIV, HPV, HSV and HCV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So,  I cracked open the books. I purchased more books. What was this new  thing called Herpes? I mean I had HEARD of it, but it wasn't something  that I really thought about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Then I saw them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Warts. Big, juicy, oozing warts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Crap.  I remember the first time I looked at a picture of a homosexual man  whose crotch was covered by a mass -a literal MASS- of genital warts. It  looked like a Broccoli patch. Flowering all over the place. I was both  mesmerized and horrified. I'd never seen anything like it in my life. My  eyes were frozen to the page. The warts were just everywhere!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Then I read. And read.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  came to one conclusion right away: I would never engage in sexual  intercourse again as long as I lived. (I had only tried it once when I  was 21 with a Mormon woman) Something in me triggered a defensive  mechanism of sorts. (Sort of like what happens when you are out in the  forest and you see 1200 pounds of angry grizzly bear barreling towards  your sorry ass. You climb a tree and hope for the best)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  knew I didn't have all of the answers, but in spite of my lust and  constant erections, I knew I didn't want THAT sort of thing obscuring  the view I had of my tallywacker. I tend to be fairly pragmatic. I could  see the downfall associated with trying to yank off bloody chunks of  warts from my crotch. I mean, how else do you get rid of them? Ah, the  silliness of youth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Then, I started studying the various methods doctors use to get rid of genital warts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;YIKES!!!!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;If  I was still in doubt about my celibacy, the treatments for genital  warts convinced me. If you don't know, read about it. It's horrifyingly  painful. Warts come back, then they come back again. And again. And  again. And....you get the point. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;There  is something in me that is utterly revolted by any kind of wart. I  don't shake hands with people. I keep my distance. But warts on my  Willy? Whoda thunk it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Disgusting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Did you know you can get cancer of the penis? Do you know what a PENECTOMY is?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Say it slow. P-E-N-E-C-T-O-M-Y. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;What's THAT, you say? Well, the anesthesiologist knocks you out, and they slice off all or part of your penis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;WHAAT!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Yep, penectomy. Keep that word in mind. You can get cancer of the penis from......women. Or, gay men if you prefer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;We've  all heard of genital warts. Nasty, slimy, ugly things that march across  the landscape of your privates like an invading army. But, the Human  Papilloma Virus that causes Genital Warts has something even better in  store for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Cancer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Yes,  cancer. Many, possibly most strains of HPV are linked with cancer.  Cancer of the penis is almost always associated with  sexually-transmitted HPV infection. Treatment is painful. Sometimes they  get it early, and traditional methods will stop the progression.  Sometimes they only have to cut out small pieces of your penis. Kinda  looks like Swiss cheese afterwards, but what the heck, it's still there.  Sort of.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;But what if  they don't get to it in time? Well, there's the rub. Well, actually  there won't be any more rubbing. Sometimes they cut off an inch or two.  Sometimes three or four. Sometimes more. Bet you're wishing you had a  twelve inch penis about now....?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Sometimes  you lose the whole thing, and you have to pee just like a woman.  Sitting down. There's nothing left. You are no longer a real man. Your  penis is gone. The stuff of nightmares. This is worse than losing your  testicles. (You can lose THOSE, too.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Say it again: Penectomy. Kind of rolls off the tongue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Speaking  of tongues, you might lose THAT, too. What? Oh, yes. Most cancers of  the mouth and adjoining areas are now being linked to HPV. A small price  to pay for pleasuring your girlfriend orally, right? I mean, who really  needs a tongue? How about your throat? Now, that maybe a problem. Kind  of like to swallow food. And breathe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Now,  I don't know about you, but I like my body. Granted, it's not as young  as it once was. I can't get erections as easily as I used to, and  sometimes not at all. But it's THERE. Dangling at half mast, but it's  still MINE. All mine. It's not lying in a garbage can in the operating  room waiting to be thrown out with the other medical waste.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So,  think long and hard boys. Whether you are Christian, Jewish, Deist or  whatever. I have come to the inescapable conclusion that there IS a God,  and He does NOT wanting people perverting His system of procreation. I  do believe He has a temper, as well as a slightly warped sense of humor.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The cost of sex is simply too high these days. Keep it in your pants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Christopher in Oregon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  know that that was jolting stuff, but it's a good jolt.  It's the kind  of jolt that wakes you up; it's the kind of jolt to give you a reminder  to not do ANYTHING stupid-like have sex with a modern, American skank,  er woman.  Thank you Christopher for your warning to us all.

In it, he gives us the  lowdown on male/female interactions and relationships.  He takes the  contents of entire books, and distills their essential message to a few  paragraphs.  Thank you, Mr. Fedders!  This is good stuff...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Very  few women are capable of empathizing with men. There are about as many  women who have the ability to empathize with men as there are children  capable of empathizing with adults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what most men fail to grasp, and why they go round and round in circles trying to "explain things" to women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women just don't care. We are here for &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt; purposes, not ours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Women  have no sympathy... And my experience of women is almost as large as  Europe. And it is so intimate too. Women crave for being loved, not for  loving. They scream at you for sympathy all day long, they are incapable  of giving you any in return for they cannot remember your affairs long  enough to do so."&lt;/b&gt; -- Florence Nightingale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther Villar says about the same thing, over and over again, in her book "The Manipulated Man."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What men don't "get" is that we (men) are a "business" to women. The attention women can get from men is &lt;i&gt;their&lt;/i&gt;  survival tactic. It does not mesh with the male survival drive, which  is "go get" or "go create." Sadly, we men have a hard time understanding  that women rarely have the same desires as we do.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why women  ALWAYS marry up-always!  Since we're a 'business' for women, marrying  down wouldn't make sense as an economic or business model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women are designed &lt;i&gt;by nature&lt;/i&gt; to look "yummy" to us so that we will give of ourselves to women. This is nature. It is &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; nature for it to occur the other way around.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  remember Christopher from Oregon making the same point.  He said that  Nature would make women look beautiful, so that we'd breed with them;  it's all about Nature getting us to breed-end of story.  It's Nature's  way of getting us to do something against our best interest-committing  to a woman long term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It works the  same way as with women and children. Children will rarely care for the  mother the way that the mother will care for the child. Children are not  designed to empathize with mothers in the same way that mothers are  designed to empathize with their children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women will never "care" about men in the same way that men "care" about the wellbeing of women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We  are both designed this way by nature. It has always been women who have  walked out on men more than the other way around... it has always been  women that have been more opposed to adultery laws than men... the 10%  of children are the result of cuckolding is supposedly a fairly  consistent stat over time/history/populations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are designed  like this by nature, and men who are sitting around and waiting for  women to smarten up and show men the proper amount of empathy/sympathy  are being no more intelligent than a mother sitting down and crossing  her arms until her children show a reciprocal amount of empathy for  her... both will be sitting there for a looooong time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can  even see how this works with the way that men and women buy family  vehicles. The wife and kids are always put in the best  vehicle/mini-van/SUV as possible to "protect them" etc. etc. while the  husband drives the run-down piece of crap to work... when the time comes  that the husband gets a second vehicle you can usually hear the wife  chirping in, "We had to get Joe a new truck... because the last one  wasn't safe &lt;i&gt;and we don't know what we would do if something happened to him.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's  the way it has always been and the way it will likely always be. Men  are a tool to women... a "business." And to successfully work that  business, they must always appear in the needy/attention category.  Babies who don't cry don't get milk... and women who don't get attention  don't get taken care of by men. It is an innate feature of humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; control society's values and mores... they lead with what they think is fashionable, and men follow, because by nature we are &lt;i&gt;designed&lt;/i&gt; to give women what they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women  "are" society. What women's wants are is what society's want's are.  This is where women are lying when they talk about the dreaded  "patriarchy." The patriarchy only existed because women explicitly  approved of it, and endorsed it morally - causing the men to follow  suit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what is happening today too. Most of the  anti-feminist battle is not going to be between men and women... it is  going to be between women who want a "traditional man" and those who  want a collective "government husband." In both cases, the women are  advocating for men to take care of women - with little concern for the  man's wants and needs - one wants a personal slave to serve her &amp;amp;  her offspring, while the other wants a slave class to serve women and  their offspring in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the way human beings are designed. Who cares whether women rule, or if they rule the rulers? The result is the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not going to change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These  are the types of factors that have to be taken into account every time  someone starts advocating for "change" or even worse, "equality." (GAK!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good  stuff, wouldn't you agree?  If we wait for women to empathize with us  Fellas, we'll be waiting a LONG, long time!  Here's a better idea: GYOW,  and live life the way YOU want to, not as some woman's tool.  Have a  good day now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img height="1" src="http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/33850719-6011015423863516670?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-6131951980564168740?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/6131951980564168740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=6131951980564168740' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/6131951980564168740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/6131951980564168740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/rob-fedders-on-women.html' title='Rob Fedders on Women'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-3097141859451168321</id><published>2012-01-20T16:16:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T16:16:58.916-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Genital Herpes, by Christopher in Oregon</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I got home from work today, I had a few comments  awaiting me.  One of them was this gem from Christopher in Oregon.  It's  about genital herpes, and I have to tell you, it's a motivator for  staying celibate!  Though I messed around some back in the day, it's  been over two decades since I had sex.  Luckily, STDs weren't as  prevalent back then; I didn't catch anything, thank goodness.  Having  said that, it's only by the grace of God that I didn't knock someone up  or catch something nasty.  After reading something like this, I'm not  sure I EVER want to have sex again!  THIS is what you're risking if you  have sex with an American woman...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;A  while back a male friend of mine, who has Genital Herpes, was quite  open about his suffering with this nasty, nasty disease. He was having a  particularly painful outbreak, and told me just what it was like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;His  outbreaks are usually about every 60-90 days, and they are  nightmarishly painful. In the summer time, they can come every couple of  weeks- one after another. He said that for the first few days during an  outbreak, it feels like acid is being poured on his genitals. He can't  sleep for days when he has an outbreak, and showering becomes an  exercise in terror. There is no relief. Searing pain 24/7.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;He  gets outbreaks that appear anywhere on his scrotum, as well as penis.  Many times it has extended to his buttocks, and sitting becomes an  impossibility. Things like going to the toilet become all but  impossible. He used to get constipated because of his inability to sit  on the toilet, until he figured out if he just stood above the toilet  and practiced being a dive bomber, he could go. Initially, his aim was  often not accurate....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Sometimes  he has herpes sores up his urethra, and once even inside his rectum.  Too much exposure to sunlight triggers the worst outbreaks, so he dreads  summer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;He spends  hundreds of dollars on Valtrex most months, and has spent a small  fortune on alternative treatments, with negligible results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Every  single thing he does during an outbreak is impacted by Herpes. The pain  is so overwhelming, that it affects his career. He has no romantic  life, because he feels like a leper. He's been snubbed too many times  when he's been honest, and he refuses to lie to someone in order to get  laid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;All because he slept with a woman who knew about her infection, but lied to him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;MOST  women will contract Genital Herpes at some point. They are more than  TWICE as likely to have herpes as men. Is this what you REALLY want to  do to yourself? Is sex REALLY worth it? Do you really want to have to  look at your tallywacker while it looks like a piece of raw ground beef?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Ick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I think not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Women aren't worth it. Pussy isn't worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It's just a dirty, smelly, disease-riddled hole. That's it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I thank God regularly for instilling in me a sense of morality that kept me from sleeping around and contracting such a disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  asked him one time if he had it to do all over again, would he remain  celibate like I did? He said no. Unbelievable. In spite of what he's  gone through, he still thinks it was worth it just to have sex.  Unfuckingbelievable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Keep it in mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Next week: Genital Warts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Christopher in Oregon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What  I found INCREDIBLE was that the guy would still have sex after what  happened to him!  Why would a guy do something like that, especially  after it caused him so much pain?!  Why would he do that?  Try as I  might, I cannot wrap my arms around that one.  Anyway, to my boys  reading this, stay single, celibate, happy, and free!  Many American  women are carrying nasty diseases such as Herpes.  Is getting your rocks  of worth it, Fellas?  Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-8123839563052800719?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-3097141859451168321?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/3097141859451168321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=3097141859451168321' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/3097141859451168321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/3097141859451168321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/genital-herpes-by-christopher-in-oregon.html' title='Genital Herpes, by Christopher in Oregon'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-5100555434631521072</id><published>2012-01-20T14:52:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T14:52:16.628-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Oops, That Was NO Accident</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I reconstruct the blog, there are certain posts that need to be front &amp;amp; center; there are certain posts that cannot wait to be reposted.&amp;nbsp; This is one of those posts.&amp;nbsp; This is MUST READ material for my boys!&amp;nbsp; You must know the evil and duplicity of which women are capable; you must know that they'll have no problems justifying their evil, either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't hate women, nor do I think that  all of them are evil. That said, I can't blame guys who think that-not  when this sort of thing is commonplace. I can't blame guys for thinking  the worst about women when women pull this sort of crap, then justify it  nine ways to Sunday; these gals think that what they want is all that  matters, and if it takes 'a little nudge', then so be it. As usual, I'll  intersperse my commentary throughout the piece. &lt;a href="http://men.style.com/details/features/full?id=content_5092" target="_blank"&gt;As always, here's a link to the original piece&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff; font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;THAT WAS NO "ACCIDENT"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;You  two were careful, but somehow she got pregnant. It happens. Or not...  Getting tricked into fatherhood by a woman hell-bent on getting pregnant  is much more common than you think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Imagine  for a moment this perfectly plausible scenario: You've had a steady  girlfriend for a year or so and everything's going great. You still hold  hands at the movies. Friends tell you you're good together. You're both  around 30 years old and making plenty of money, maybe living together,  but you're nowhere near considering fatherhood. And though you  occasionally get the feeling that her biological clock is set far ahead  of yours, she tells you she's "safe," so you don't worry. Why would you?  It's not as if you'd just picked her up on Dollar Margarita Night at  Señor Frog's. But one morning she tells you something has gone wrong.  Unlikely as it sounds, she's pregnant-and she wants to keep it. What she  doesn't tell you, though, is this: She wasn't being safe all along. She  wanted to have that baby— and the way she saw it, this was the only way  to make it happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something HAS gone wrong-for you, pal!  I hate to say it, but there is WISDOM in God's commandments against sex  prior to marriage. Since men have no rights in these matters, the ONLY  way to retain your autonomy is to KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS! The only 100%  effective contraceptive is abstention-that's it! The only other 100%  effective means of preventing pregnancy is to get snipped...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Here's  how a scenario like that played out in real life. Jody (not her real  name), a 32-year-old account manager for a major New York ad firm,  decided to speed things along with her boyfriend two years ago by  getting pregnant without telling him. "It's not about trapping the guy,"  Jody says. "That's kind of old-fashioned. Yeah, you want him to be into  it, but there are other ways to get a guy to commit. If you're smart  and in a good relationship, it's just about the fact that you want a  kid." Even in her circle of young, urban, and gainfully employed  friends, Jody says, this particular brand of subterfuge isn't exactly  condemned the way one might expect. In fact, it's sort of, well, normal.  "I see and hear people talk about it, and I understand. I get it," she  says, "and I don't even think it's that manipulative. It's more like,  'Hey, the timing is right for me. I got pregnant—oops! Well, it's here,  let's have it.' I think that's more the way it is now than it was back  in the day when you had to marry someone before you got pregnant.  Marriage doesn't matter now."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jody, if it's not about  trapping a guy, then what IS it about, hmmm? If having an intentional  'oopsie' doesn't qualify as trapping a guy, then it's one HELL of an  imitation! The name of the concept eludes me, but there is a legal  concept which states that calling something by a different name does NOT  change what it is. That applies here. You can call it what you want,  but I call it trapping a guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same goes for manipulation. The word, 'manipulate', means to manage or influence, ESPECIALLY in an unfair manner.  &lt;a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/manipulate" target="_blank"&gt;You can go to this page on Dictionary.com, and see for yourself&lt;/a&gt;.  So Jody, you don't think that an 'oopsie' isn't manipulative, huh? Let  me ask you a question: would your man, sans your deceptive, dastardly  action, would marry you or stick around? You ARE influencing your man to  do something that he otherwise wouldn't do; if he WOULD commit to you,  if he would marry you, if he would be a daddy on his own, then let me  ask you a question, Darlin': why, pray tell me, did you have to resort  to trickery to accomplish this, hmmm? I know, and I rest my case! Just  because you choose to call it something else does NOT change what it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What  I find especially offensive is how she doesn't even BRING UP any  mention of what he wants; it's as if what your man wants doesn't matter.  Witness her wording. "Hey, the timing is right for ME (emphasis mine)".  Or, let me quote this gem from earlier in the paragraph: "...it's just  about the fact that you want a kid." YOU want a kid, not him! Who do you  think you are dictating what someone else can do, hmmm?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Railroading  a guy into parenthood isn't just some "baby daddy" soap-opera scenario.  You'll never hear the ladies'-room chatter that leads people like Jody  to feel justified, but to get some idea of it, consider this: A woman's  fertility peaks when she's between the ages of 20 and 24, according to  Mayo Clinic statistics. By the time she's 35 to 39, it's already wilted  by 25 to 50 percent. And from there the options aren't always so  attractive: The average cost of in vitro fertilization in the United  States is $100,000 per baby—and insurance generally won't pay a cent.  Combine that with the shifting social mores about single motherhood and  having kids outside of marriage, and you've got a pretty good  explanation for why some women, particularly ones in stable  relationships, don't see this as trickery at all—it's more like a nudge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An oopsie is one HELL of a nudge! More like walking the plank, if you ask me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"A  lot of us feel like it's not even really fair that men should get to  vote, considering they could be 72 and, with a little Viagra, have  another baby," says Vicki Iovine, author of The Girlfriends' Guide to  Pregnancy. "For us women, it's really a limited window. We know that  boys who grow up to become men don't necessarily want to be men. They  like to be boys. And so women say, 'You know what? He's gonna just have  to snap out of it—and my pregnancy will be the thing to do it.'" The  end, says Iovine, sometimes justifies the means. "Any guy with a heart  and soul, and preferably with a job, once he sees the baby on the  sonogram or hears the heartbeat, will melt," she says.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah,  but we men get to PAY for any babies though, huh, Vicki? If we can't  have a vote on what happens to the child, then we shouldn't have to pay  for it, either. You cannot have rights without responsibilities, nor can  you have responsibilities without rights.  They're hand and glove;  they're two sides of the same coin; you cannot have one without the  other-end of story. BTW, you're a strong, independent, empowered woman;  you don't NEED no stinkin' man, nor do you need his money-except when  it's divorce time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And who the HELL do you think you are,  Vicki, passing judgment on whether we're 'grown up' enough for your  tastes? How DARE you say that you'll just have to force us snap out of  it-how dare you, you bitch! You can call it what you will, but that's  imposing your will on someone else. Yeah, you read that right; you're  IMPOSING YOUR WILL on someone else!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't matter what HE  thinks; it doesn't matter what he wants; it doesn't matter what his  wishes are in the matter. You want a child, so you're going to have one.  You're going to do WHAT you want, WHEN you want, HOW you want, and the  HELL with anyone else! You know what I call that? I call it immature; I  call it selfish; I can call it many things, but 'grown up' is not one of  them, Darlin'...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and one more thing: why don't you gals have  babies WITHIN that limited window of yours, hmmm? Why do you go to  school, pursue a career, and bang a boatload of bad boys until your 30s?  Why do you wait until AFTER your window is closing fast before you  decide to have a child, hmmm?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, you gals have a limited  window; it's nice to see you admit the obvious, and acknowledge reality.  It's about damn time! But, I have to ask you a few questions now. One,  who compelled you to wait till AFTER your fertility peaked? Why didn't  you go about finding and marrying a man who wanted children while you  were in your 20s? Why did you wait till 30 or later before you realized  that you wanted a child, hmmm? Whose fault is it that YOU waited till 30  or beyond to have children, Vicki? Finally, what gives you the right to  FORCE someone to be a father? What gives YOU the right to do this, when  it was YOUR FAULT for waiting too long in the first place?! Sheesh,  you're freakin' unbelievable...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Just  how many women act on that presumption is hard to say. According to FDA  figures, one in a thousand of them should get pregnant over the course  of a year if they're using the Pill exactly as prescribed. But it is  estimated that in reality 50 times that many get pregnant. There's no  way of knowing how much of that disparity can be explained away by  "intentional" oversight, but that's a big gap to chalk up to  carelessness. And though there was a time when flushing the Pill down  the toilet was fodder for Jerry Springer, the rules have changed. "I've  been hearing a lot about this lately, and it's coming into the educated  and wealthy classes, too," says Pepper Schwartz, a relationships expert  for Perfectmatch.com and professor of sociology at the University of  Washington in Seattle (she does not support the practice). "These women  can afford to take care of the child."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, fifty times  MORE women getting pregnant while on the Pill would seem to qualify as  premeditated, willful, DELIBERATE deception on the part of the women in  question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and just because a selfish career bitch can AFFORD  to take care of a child doesn't mean that she should. Children of single  mothers comprise an OVERWHELMING majority of criminals and prisoners.  That's real nice-condemning your child to a life of penal servitude all  because YOU wanted to have a kid. It's ALL about you, isn't it Sweet  Pee?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Many of them will probably have  to. We don't hear about the cases in which a guy suspects he's been  duped into fatherhood- but ultimately turns to mush in the soft glow of  the sonogram monitor. But as cavalier as certain women are about the  "nudge," not all men react so favorably when the "good news" is  delivered—especially if they find out they've been snowed. Jody's  boyfriend more or less freaked out. She terminated the pregnancy, then  their relationship slowly dissolved. "It felt a little like the fun was  taken out of everything," she says. "He was shocked and scared."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man,  I don't even know WHAT to say in response to this clueless drivel. Your  man was shocked &amp;amp; scared, huh? And your relationship slowly  dissolved, huh? What a surprise! I'd be pissed too if I were lied to. I  don't care what the lie is about; if I've been lied to, I am  upset-especially if it cost me dearly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Last  year, Matt Dubay, a 25-year-old computer programmer in Saginaw,  Michigan, says he had the same reaction when his girlfriend, Lauren  Wells, allegedly pulled something similar. Dubay claims she told him she  was infertile and was using a contraceptive "as an extra layer of  assurance and protection." But when she got pregnant anyway and told  Dubay she was keeping the baby, he said he wanted no part of it. Earlier  this year, he argued in court that her alleged deception should exempt  him from having to pay child support. His lawyer, Jeffrey Cojocar,  reasoned that Michigan's paternity law violated the Constitution's  equal-protection clause: If the situation were reversed and Dubay had  gotten Wells pregnant after claiming he was sterile, he'd have no way of  forcing her either to keep or to abort the child. The judge didn't buy  his argument, but it's helped open a broadening national dialogue: Where  do you draw the line between deadbeat dad and victim of deceit?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  judge didn't buy his argument because he is PART of the Gynocracy. Men  don't have rights, and that judge was seeing to it that this despicable  practice continued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do I draw the line between deadbeat dad and deceit? Let's look at what &lt;a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/deceit" target="_blank"&gt;Dictionary.com has for a definition for the word, deceit&lt;/a&gt;:  the act or practice of deceiving; concealment or distortion of the  truth for the purpose of misleading; duplicity; fraud; cheating: Once  she exposed their deceit, no one ever trusted them again. What did his  then girlfriend, Lauren Wells do? She told him that: 1) she was  infertile; and 2) was using a contraceptive as an extra layer of  protection. If that were true, then HOW did she end up pregnant? She  ended up pregnant because she WAS fertile, and she was NOT using  protection-totally opposite of what she said. I'd say that Mr. Dubay's  situation qualified as deceit, wouldn't you? Her actions seem to conform  to the definition of the word...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"This  case has actually been more of a movement," Cojocar says. "I probably  got four or five hundred e-mails—many of them from females." The women  Cojocar says he was hearing from were angry because their significant  others were supporting exes who they suspected had pulled a sneak  pregnancy. Cojocar is appealing the case to the Sixth Circuit Court of  Appeals in Cincinnati. In the meantime, Dubay is paying $500 a month in  child support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The case has  become a cause célèbre for the National Center for Men (NCM), a  men's-rights advocacy group that counsels people like Dubay through its  website, www.nationalcenterformen.org—so much so that the organization's  picking up the tab for his court costs. It's even trademarked the case:  "Roe vs. Wade . . . for Men."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"Matt  is asking for the reproductive choice he would have had if he were  'Mattilda,'" the website says. The NCM doesn't have much contact with  men who acquiesce to their role as new fathers. The guys who come to the  organization see their situations as deception in its purest form.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"A  lot of these men feel like they have no control," says Mel Feit, the  NCM's executive director. "The courts are ruthless in enforcing getting  money and not asking questions. Judges aren't allowing the fraud  argument, either."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mel, a lot of those men feel like they  have no control because they truly do NOT have any control or rights  when it comes to paternity fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the courts, they are  about anything and everything BUT justice! They don't care if they go  after the wrong man for child support; they don't care if a man is  innocent. All they care about is recovering money for the state's  welfare program-that's it! Thanks to the welfare reform act that the  Republicans passed back in the 1990s, a woman HAS to name the father of  her child in order to collect welfare benefits. The state, with its  ravenous appetite for money, will go after a man for the money.  Sometimes, they get the right man; sometimes they don't. In either case,  they don't care; all they care about is getting more money in their  coffers...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The NCM actually offers  the "Reproductive Rights Affidavit" (think of it as the sexual  equivalent of a living will), which challenges "any court order that  seeks to impose a parental obligation upon me against my will."  Unfortunately for Jeremy, a 35-year-old technical consultant and  musician in New York, the affidavit doesn't provide a legal cover for  now. He thought he'd found himself a nice girl. He had just split with  his longtime fiancée but explains that this new woman was saying all the  right things—even when it came to practical matters. She was on the  Pill. She was pro-choice. So she and Jeremy (who's using a fake name)  enjoyed a couple of months of unprotected intimacy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah,  you let your guard down-bad move, my friend! Especially when it comes to  women. Furthermore, you're a DUMB ASS for having sex with a woman in  her 30s-a real dumb ass! Women in their 30s often have a serious case of  'baby rabies'; they realize that their window of fertility is closing  fast, and they want to have a kid before it closes. You're especially  dumb for having UNPROTECTED SEX with this woman-dumb ass X2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Then  things got weird. She mysteriously quit drinking. She disappeared for  days at a time. She told him she was considering going off birth  control, though she assured him she hadn't yet. By July, Jeremy had had  enough and broke things off. Then in August, he says, she told him she  was pregnant and was keeping it. "She was pregnant all of May, all of  June, and all of July," Jeremy says. "I said, 'Why didn't you tell me  about this sooner?' She's like, 'I didn't want you to influence my  decision.' Something that has potential impact on me for the rest of my  life, she doesn't want me influencing her decision!?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dude,  it was ALL ABOUT HER-all about her! It was all about what SHE wanted.  It was all about HER desires. She didn't want you reminding her that her  actions impacted another human being; she wanted what she wanted, and  that was that. The fact that this would impact you for the rest of her  life didn't matter to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;More than a  year and $6,500 in legal fees later, Jeremy has a 7-month-old boy he's  never met, a child-support case pending, and a judge who's less than  sympathetic toward his allegations of contraceptive deceit. Even his own  attorney told him he'd better ditch that dream of becoming a full-time  musician and focus on the computer gig that he'd hoped would only  supplement his income: "She was like, 'You know what? You gotta be a  man. You're gonna have to have a job 40 hours a week, and you need to  support this child—this is your responsibility and your obligation.' And  I'm thinking to myself, like, 'How is all of this my responsibility and  my obligation when none of this was my choice?'"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's  your responsibility because The Gynocracy has SAID it's your  responsibility, pal! Oh, and burn this into your mind: you have NO  RIGHTS WHATSOEVER when it comes to marriage, divorce, or paternity  issues-none!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what about this woman growing up and being a  WOMAN, hmmm? What about being honest with your man? What about talking  to him about your desire to have a child? Why weren't you HONEST about  your contraceptive use? What about growing up, finding a WILLING man,  marrying him, and giving that child TWO PARENTS, huh? Yeah, what you did  was REAL grown up-not! Because you wanted a child come hell or high  water, you're willing to CONDEMN that child to underclass status just to  satisfy YOUR desires; you want a child, so you're going to HAVE one,  Bless God! The fact that you're condemning the poor kid to underclass  status doesn't matter to you; all that matters is that you got your kid.  That's real grown up if you ask me. That's REALLY mature-not...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  ONLY way for a man to protect himself is to REFRAIN FROM HAVING SEX  WITH A WOMAN. If she does say that you got her pregnant, insist on a DNA  test! Please, please, please insist on a DNA test before you sign ANY  paternity papers! Why? Because, depending on whose numbers you believe,  between 10% and 30% of putative fathers are not the BIOLOGICAL father of  the child in question! IOW, if a woman points the finger and says that  YOU knocked her up, there's a 10%-30% chance that someone ELSE is the  father. Once you sign those papers, you're screwed; it doesn't matter if  you get a DNA test after the fact, either. Once you sign the papers  saying that you're the daddy, then you're on the hook for the next 20  years; the courts WILL force you to pay for that child, even though it's  not yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, do not have premarital sex. Not only is  abstention the only 100% effective contraceptive; abstention will keep  you from catching diseases, and there's a very good chance your beloved  is carrying one or more STDs-just something to think about. If you  insist on having sex, ALWAYS USE PROTECTION; once you're done with it,  YOU make sure you dispose of it somewhere where your beloved can't get  to it; otherwise, she could get your used condom, and use your genetic  materials to IMPREGNATE HERSELF! Don't laugh; it's happened, and that  poor SOB was on the hook for it. If you don't like using protection,  then get a vasectomy; get snipped, so you cannot leave your genetic  materials in someone. Sorry, but that's the way it is. Since most  American women are dishonest about contraceptive use, and since most  American women are diseased whores carrying host of STDs, I think  abstaining from sex is your only hope of staying single and free.

No wonder Western women see a  Third World holiday as the gateway to casual sex - sometimes in exchange  for cash. But as a new film highlights female sex tourism, Liz Hoggard  asks who really pays the price&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Sunday, 9 July 2006&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;An  attractive woman sips a cocktail under a bamboo shade. The sand is  dazzlingly white, the sea aquamarine. A handsome young man approaches  her and showers her with compliments: she is the most beautiful woman he  has ever seen, he says. For the first time in years, she truly believes  she is desirable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;But  this holiday romance is not all it seems. The woman is white, in her  late 50s; the man, black, 18 - and paid for his attentions. The scene -  from the controversial new French film, &lt;u&gt;Heading South&lt;/u&gt;, which  opened this weekend, starring Charlotte Rampling, makes us confront  uncomfortable truths about sexuality in a globalised world, and the  legacy of colonialism.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this whore is in her late 50s, then  she's WELL past her expiration date!&amp;nbsp; Sorry, but any woman in her late  50s is NOT attractive-not in the conventional sense anyway.&amp;nbsp; She may  look good for her age, but she's not going to give me or any other  straight guy an instant erection.&amp;nbsp; That's the test of a woman's  attractiveness: does she give a guy an immediate, primal boner?&amp;nbsp; If not,  then she's NOT attractive-end of story. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;In  the film, an intelligent, provocative take on sex tourism in the  late-1970s, &lt;i&gt;Rampling plays Ellen&lt;/i&gt;, an American professor, who spends  every summer at a private resort in Haiti, where beautiful, muscled  black boys are available to the female clientele, mostly affluent single  women in their forties, who despair of finding mates through more  conventional means. "More than sex, they are seeking a tenderness that  the world is refusing them," the film's director, Laurence Cantet,  explains.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is the world refusing these damsels' tenderness,  hmmm?&amp;nbsp; What do we know about these damsels?&amp;nbsp; One, we know that they're  toxic, feminist, man hating career bitches from the West.&amp;nbsp; Two, we know  that they're in their 40s and 50s.&amp;nbsp; Three, we know that either these  women rode the cock carousel when they were younger; or they were  married to decent men and got bored during their marriage.&amp;nbsp; Why would  any decent, thinking man want to be with toxic women such as these?&amp;nbsp; Can  anyone answer that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Fast-forward 30  years, and the reality of sex tourism is anything but tender. Today  beach resorts in developing countries such as Kuta in Bali, Negril in  Jamaica and Boca Chica and Sosua in the Dominican Republic have become  Third World pick-up spots for women tourists. Tour companies even market  package deals as sex holidays for single and unaccompanied women.  Forget Shirley Valentine, these women - who range from grandmothers to  teens - don't want a long-term relationship. And there's plenty of live  flesh on sale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is revealing.&amp;nbsp; If men engage in sex  tourism, then it's disgusting, perverted, sick, creepy, etc.&amp;nbsp; Ever see  what women say about men who vacation in Thailand?&amp;nbsp; Ah, but when women  do it, it's all right.&amp;nbsp; Not only that, it's empowering and uplifiting  for the women who do it.&amp;nbsp; The above paragraph says that tour companies  even MARKET sex tours to women!&amp;nbsp; Could you imagine the outcry if there  were tour companies marketing sex tours to men?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Take  Jamaica, where 17 per cent of the population lives below the poverty  line. Hustling on the beach is the only way that some young men can feed  themselves and their families. No wonder they choose older women who  pay better than younger ones. In Negril, the men can earn $100 (£60) for  sex with a female tourist, £90 for oral sex, which Jamaican men usually  regard as taboo. Many others are hired as a guide to the island and  throw in sexual services, often just for as meal or a place to sleep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  Jamaica is a TOTAL matriarchy-total matriarchy!&amp;nbsp; Women have their  precious autonomy; they don't need men; they are indeed superior to  them, but at what cost?&amp;nbsp; They cannot go out at night at all, because  it's too dangerous.&amp;nbsp; For example, if women want to see a movie or play,  then they have to: 1) do so during the day and return home before dark;  2) go with a group of their fellow sisters.&amp;nbsp; Patriarchy=prosperity and  civilization, whereas matriarchy=misery, poverty, and anarchy.&amp;nbsp; It's  always been that way, and it always will be that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The  definition of a sex tourist is an adult who travels in order to have  legal consensual sexual relations with another adult, often for the  exchange of money or presents. We still assume that a sex tourist will  be male - indeed many regard the relationship between beach boy and  female tourist as harmless fun. The woman gets guilt-free sex while  keeping a firm hold on the purse strings. Where's the harm?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's  proof positive of what I was talking about above.&amp;nbsp; With women, sex  tourism is 'harmless fun'.&amp;nbsp; With men, it's sick, perverted, creepy, and  disgusting.&amp;nbsp; Note how the article subtly promotes this double standard.&amp;nbsp;  They say, "We still assume that a sex tourist will be male..." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Jane,  67, a divorcee, has spent the past 10 years holidaying in West Africa.  She loves the climate and the people - and she especially loves the men.  "They are so wonderfully flattering. They make you feel like a real  woman. I don't mind paying for their drinks and meals if they stay the  night." Divorced, with two grown-up sons, she explains, "White men my  own age are so set in their ways; they just want another wife."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh,  Jane, the African men make you feel good for one reason, and one reason  only: money and gifts.&amp;nbsp; That's it!&amp;nbsp; If you weren't willing to offer  those things to them, you can bet your bippy that they wouldn't stick  around.&amp;nbsp; I'm 49, and even I don't find 67 y/o women attractive-ick! &amp;nbsp;  You're just a shriveled up, old crone with the skin of a prune-if you  look THAT good...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for white men your age wanting wives, oh please.&amp;nbsp; Can anyone say wishful thinking?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are  men your own age set in their ways?&amp;nbsp; Yes, they are.&amp;nbsp; They're set in  their ways for wanting kind women who can be decent, faithful, COMMITTED  companions-duh!&amp;nbsp; They want everything that you're not, everything your  divorce shows us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;For others, this is  exploitation pure and simple. Even where no money is exchanged, this  sort of behaviour destabilises local communities and families. Ignorance  and lack of concern about the abject poverty and lack of choice that  characterises the men's lives leads the women to romanticise their  actions. It is true that women sex tourists are still outnumbered by the  legions of men who travel to Thailand and the Philippines for sex with  prostitutes. Charities such as Amnesty and Unicef have no official  policy on female sex tourism, preferring to focus on protecting  trafficked women and children. Chris Beddoe, director of Ecpat UK, the  children's rights organisation that campaigns against child sex tourism,  believes: "If both adult partners are open and honest about what  they're getting out of it, that's one thing. But it's another thing to  continue the fantasy when there's a denial of the power that money  brings to that relationship that creates a culture of dependency and  exploitation.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, but don't tell our wonderful Western women  that!&amp;nbsp; Don't tell them that they're doing wrong.&amp;nbsp; Don't you know that  our wonderful, divine 'goddesses' can do no wrong?&amp;nbsp; Okay, sarcasm is  off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Nirpal Dhaliwal, author of the  recent novel, Tourism (which satirises older white women turned on by  young brown flesh), takes a tougher view. "Women enjoy casual sex and  prostitution, too, but with far more hypocrisy. They help themselves to  men in the developing world, kidding themselves that it's a 'holiday  romance' that has nothing to do with the money they spend. Go to any  Jamaican beach and you'll find handsome 'rent-a-dreads', who get by  servicing Western women - lots from Britain. I've seen similar things in  Goa."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's not a tougher view; it's a fairer, more unbiased view. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Next  month a new play, Sugar Mummies, about the pleasures and perils of sex  tourism opens at London's Royal Court Theatre. Set in the Jamaican beach  resort of Negril, it centres on a group of British and American women,  seeking sun sea, sand ... and uninhibited sex with a handsome stranger.  Sexually frank and often very funny, the play doesn't pull its punches.  The playwright, Tanika Gupta, travelled to Jamaica to research the  subject first-hand, and says she was shocked to find how female tourists  objectify the black male body. "A lot of women talk about how 'big'  black men are and how they can go all night. It becomes such a myth that  even the men now use it. There is this terrible mutual delusion going  on. And you do find yourself thinking, 'We're not a million miles from  slavery.'" The older female tourists even confided to Gupta that  although Jamaica was lovely and laid-back, the Dominican Republic and  Cuba were "dirt cheap". "You can go as young as you want in Cuba," one  woman boasted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what I think?&amp;nbsp; I think that Miss Gupta,  no doubt a Westernized (read feminist) woman of Indian descent, was  shocked that her fellow 'goddesses' could be so perverted and so  debauched.&amp;nbsp; Waaaaahhhh-only MEN are that way!&amp;nbsp; Women are pure, sweet,  divine, angelic goddesses who wouldn't do that-waaaaaaahhhhh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  know what else the above paragraph shows?&amp;nbsp; It shows a couple of things,  actually.&amp;nbsp; One, it shows that women can be just as primal as men are on  their sex tourist vacations.&amp;nbsp; Two, it also shows the double standard  WRT male and female sex tourists.&amp;nbsp; Can you imagine the OUTCRY that would  result if men were to talk about another, cheaper locale that would  allow them to 'go as young as they want'?&amp;nbsp; Why, it'd be a travesty!&amp;nbsp;  Yeah, but when a woman does it, it's okay; that's 'different', you  know... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;For all the talk of romance, the  language of sex tourism is pretty basic. In Jamaica the men are called  "beach boys" or "Rastatutes". The women are called milk bottles by the  men - partly because of their ultra-white skin, partly because they are  seen as vessels waiting to be filled.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know why I think the  local boys call the women milk bottles?&amp;nbsp; Because they can't wait to milk  'em of their money, gifts, and so on.&amp;nbsp; They're not vessels waiting to  be filled; the women are easy marks waiting to be fleeced, or milked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Another  myth the play explodes is that sex tourism is only perpetrated by white  women. In Jamaica, Gupta met many black American women hiring beach  boys. "They might be going back to their roots, or feeling more powerful  because they had money, but they were still buying the same services."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eeeehhh,  wrong!&amp;nbsp; The reason why American black women are resorting to sex  tourism is because no one here WANTS them!&amp;nbsp; Talk about toxic; American  black women make our white women look kind, virtuous, and feminine!&amp;nbsp;  Seriously, black women in America give new meaning to the phrase, 'toxic  women'.&amp;nbsp; Hell, they're so bad that the brothers here don't even want  them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it, people.&amp;nbsp; Women have it easy in the sexual  market place; if they want to get laid, all they have to do is spread  their legs.&amp;nbsp; Ah, but black, American women are SO BAD that they can't  even give it away to American men of any color-including their fellow  black brothers!&amp;nbsp; They have to resort to sex tourism to get laid.&amp;nbsp;  Doesn't that tell you anything?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;In Bali,  South-east Asia, Beddoes encountered wealthy Japanese women paying local  boys for sex. The boys themselves claimed they found it less degrading  because they saw the Japanese women as smaller and more childlike.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japanese  women are more feminine; they're nicer to look at; and, as a rule,  Asian women age a lot better than their Western female counterparts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having  said that though, what does it say about Japan and Japanese women when  THEY have to resort to sex tourism to get sex?&amp;nbsp; That's quite chilling  when you think about it; it's quite chilling for a lot of reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Gupta  was inspired to write Sugar Mummies after reading the research by UK  sociologists, Jacqueline Sanchez Taylor and Julia O'Connell into female  sex tourism in the Caribbean. They decided to carry out their own  research when they found that the usual analysis of sex tourism does not  consider women as buyers of sexual services, because prostitute-users  is seen as, by definition, male.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, Jacqueline Sanchez  Taylor-now THAT is a feminist if I ever saw one!&amp;nbsp; Having said that, she  and Miss O'Connell are at least HONEST sociologists, even if they're of a  liberal (read socialist), politically correct persuasion.&amp;nbsp; At least  they realized that sex tourism wasn't just the province of men.&amp;nbsp; I guess  that that's a start to doing away with the double standard that's often  applied to sex tourism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;They interviewed  240 women holidaying in Negril, and two similar resorts in the  Dominican Republic. Almost a third said they had engaged in sexual  relationships with local men. Though 60 per cent admitted to certain  "economic elements" to their liaisons, they did not perceive their  sexual encounters as a prostitute-client transaction. Instead they  insisted they were helping the men, and the local economy, by giving  them money and gifts. When asked to describe "boyfriends", most  emphasised how for them black Jamaican men possessed bodies of great  sexual value. One 42 year-old English woman who travelled at least three  times a year to Boca Chica in the Dominican Republic said: "I'm not  naïve. I've been around the block. I come for sex - of course the sun,  but mostly the sex. I'm not coming to live and set up house with a guy. I  just want some fun and good sex."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Darlin', that begs the  question: why can't you get good sex at home?&amp;nbsp; Is it perhaps because  local men do not WANT you?&amp;nbsp; As a woman, you don't have to go across the  ocean to have sex.&amp;nbsp; All you have to do is signal to a man that you're  willing, and spread your legs.&amp;nbsp; That's it!&amp;nbsp; So, why can't you find a  willing man at home, hmmm? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"Female sex  tourism is much more informal," says Sanchez Taylor, a lecturer in  sociology at Leeds University. "It takes place in bars. There's no way  for women to go into a brothel and say, 'I want a blow job.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh  stop it!&amp;nbsp; Just stop it!&amp;nbsp; Female sex tourism isn't less formal, Mrs.  Taylor; it's just more subtle and indirect, like everything women say  and do.&amp;nbsp; When a guy goes to Thailand for vacation, he'll get a bar girl,  pay her fee, and she'll stay with him for the agreed upon amount of  time.&amp;nbsp; During that time, she will 'service' the man and satisfy his  needs-much better than women back home ever would, BTW.&amp;nbsp; With men, it's  like everything men do: simple, direct, and to the point.&amp;nbsp; If a man goes  to Thailand and hits Pattaya Beach, he's going there for ONE  reason-sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When women engage in sex tourism, it's not quite as  obvious, not quite as direct.&amp;nbsp; They don't go to the men, pay X dollars  (or pounds, as the case may be), and take him with them for X number of  hours or days.&amp;nbsp; No, they give them money; they buy them drinks; buy them  clothes and other things; and provide a roof over their heads, all in  exchange for sex.&amp;nbsp; Now, pardon me, but if you're exchanging money and  gifts for sex, doesn't that qualify for prostitution?&amp;nbsp; If it looks like a  duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, isn't it fair to say  that we're looking at a duck here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"Women  who feel rejected by men in the West for being fatter and older -you  know, 35, but they look 40 - find that in Jamaica all this is reversed,"  says Sanchez Taylor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you!&amp;nbsp; Finally, we get the truth!&amp;nbsp;  These female sex tourists are so repulsive (and not just physically,  either) that men back home don't want them.&amp;nbsp; They can't GIVE sex away  back home, and they can't give it away for a couple of good reasons: 1)  they're fat, old, and ugly; 2) they're even UGLIER on the inside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"There's  a poetic lyricism to the gigolo's chat-up lines," agrees Gupta. "You  very quickly understand why the women are buying this. On the first day,  this baby aged 18 came to chat me up. At first I thought, this will be  good for my play. But then he got a bit fast, so I suggested he move on  to some younger women, And he said, 'Me no want the kitten, me want the  cat.'"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And these repulsive, love starved Western women buy IN  to the bullshit!&amp;nbsp; Again, here's more evidence of why women weren't given  power or rights; they can't HANDLE them.&amp;nbsp; The fact that they fall for  such BS is proof positive that they're incapable of handling power,  responsibility or anything else.&amp;nbsp; Women are only a step above children,  and the fact that they fall for such BS lines proves it... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The  problem comes, she says, when the women start believing the men they  have hooked up with are in love with them. "They confuse what is  actually a financial transaction with real love. If you have low  self-esteem, if you've not had much luck, if you're older ... you are  likely to be more susceptible," says Gupta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, please.&amp;nbsp; Women  fall for the BS because they want to. &amp;nbsp; They fall for it because they're  more gullible than men.&amp;nbsp; As I've stated in other posts, there's a  reason why the serpent targeted Eve in the Garden first, and that we'd  do well to REMEMBER that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If an older woman's self esteem is  part of the equation, it's for this reason: they're past their  expiration date; they're no longer young, hot, and desirable as they  were in their 20s; they're no longer having droves of guys hit on them  now that they're older, fatter, and uglier.&amp;nbsp; These women are no longer  the "cat's meow", and they can't HANDLE it-end of discussion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Some  women even marry their boyfriends and take them home to the UK,  although few relationships survive the cultural difference. Jamica's  most famous holiday romance has recently come crashing down. Female  tourism boomed after Terry McMillan's hit novel, How Stella Got Her  Groove Back was made into a Hollywood film. The novel, in which Stella, a  divorced black woman in her forties, takes a holiday to Jamaica, where  she meets and falls in love with Winston, a local man half her age - was  a fictionalised account of McMillan's own marriage to Jeremy Plummer,  23 years her junior. This year, McMillan, 53, filed for divorce,  claiming that the marriage was based on a "fraud'' because Plummer lied  about his sexual orientation and married her only to gain US  citizenship. He denies it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh, the cultural difference has  little or nothing to do with the demise of these 'romances'.&amp;nbsp; No, the  reason these relationships end is for one, simple reason: the guys got  what they wanted: money, UK or USA citizenship, and a better life; they  got everything from their girlfriend/wife that they set out to get, so  they bailed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;It is a nasty twist that the  countries where this sort of tourism is most rife are ex-slave  colonies. Many are still dealing with the fallout of colonialism. All  the hotels, restaurants, cars and glass-bottomed boats in Negril are  owned by Americans. The urban economy doesn't even belong to the local  people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What goes unsaid is that this is because the local  economy, at least in Jamaica, is matriarchal.&amp;nbsp; Matriarchies NEVER bring  prosperity-never!&amp;nbsp; Ah, but we can't say that now, can we?&amp;nbsp; If the  feminists writing this article were to discuss that elephant in the  room, They'd have to admit a truth that would KILL them: that patriarchy  is superior to their beloved matriarchy.&amp;nbsp; We can't point out that, if  Jamaica were patriarchal, then it'd be more prosperous; it would be  owned and operated by the local people, not outsiders.&amp;nbsp; If you want to  know what a matriarchy looks and feels like, then either go to nearest,  inner city ghetto; or go to a place like Jamaica.&amp;nbsp; You'll see matriarchy  in all its unbridled 'glory'...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Yet the  women who sleep with the beach boys insist they are helping race  relations. They flatter themselves they have gone native. "In my play  there's a scene where a white woman is taking about how she loves  R&amp;amp;B and reggae and what she calls hip and hop," says Gupta.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh,  stop it!&amp;nbsp; Just stop it!&amp;nbsp; This is just an example of the rationalization  hamster going full speed.&amp;nbsp; Western women and their hamsters know no  bounds... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;It is the female tourist who  books the flights and determines the length of time she will spend with  their boyfriend, as well as making day-to-day decisions when they are  together, such as when and where they eat. One 21-year-old migrant from  Haiti, who had been working in Sosua, told Sanchez Taylor that he even  had to "snog" his tourist client despite a bad toothache and a swollen  face. If he did not, he would not be able to afford the antibiotics to  cure it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, let me get this straight: this chap had to do oral  sex to his 'client' even though he had a bad toothache and a swollen  face?!&amp;nbsp; There's more of that female empathy in action-ha!&amp;nbsp; What would  happen if a man did something like that, hmm?&amp;nbsp; Sorry, I can't help but  ask a question begging to be asked...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, if it were man  buying sex, he'd be called a "John"; he'd be mocked and reviled for  doing something like this.&amp;nbsp; How dare he!&amp;nbsp; That begs another question:  what do they call female buyers of sex?&amp;nbsp; What name would we give them?&amp;nbsp;  After all, they're just like their male counterparts we call "Johns",  right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and why is it okay when a woman makes her gigolo do  something he doesn't want to do (or, in this case, is painful to do, for  obvious reasons)?&amp;nbsp; Why is it wrong when a man does it?&amp;nbsp; Why is it  'different' when a woman does it?&amp;nbsp; I see hamster wheels a spinnin'...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;In  Sugar Mummies, Gupta deliberately allows herself one relationship that  might just work. "I'm not saying anything about mixed race  relationships, I'm talking about these specific kinds of sex-tourist  relationships where women go out there specifically to have sex. It will  probably backfire and a whole load more women will go off to Jamaica."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;'Sugar Mummies' opens at the Royal Court, London SW1 on 5 August (020-7565 5000)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;No strings: 'I wanted to do sex like a man'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lucy, a 23-year-old events organiser from London, visited St Lucia this year with a friend&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  wanted to do sex like a man?&amp;nbsp; Oh, stop it!&amp;nbsp; If you want to have  debauched, promiscuous sex; if you want to nurture your inner slut; then  you can do so at home quite easily-especially if you're 23! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The  words "sex tourism" make me think of City boys who go to Thailand with  their mates for seedy conquests to boast about. It's different for  women. When they go abroad for sex, it's about wanting to feel special  and escaping the boundaries at home. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Translation: at home, I  can't act like a slut and preserve my reputation as a 'good girl' back  home-gag a maggot!&amp;nbsp; Theres' nothing good about you, Darlin', at least  not as a wife candidate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for sex tourism being different for a  woman, there's the rationalization hamster in action again.&amp;nbsp; I can't  define the phrase, 'rationalization hamster', but I know it when I see  it-like in this instance.&amp;nbsp; That hamster is running for all it's worth,  isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know something else, Darlin'?&amp;nbsp; When guys go on  vacations to Thailand, it's not to brag about seedy conquests-no, not at  all.&amp;nbsp; You know what guys who've vacationed there talk about?&amp;nbsp; Meeting  nice, FEMININE women who-gasp-treat them with a modicum of respect!&amp;nbsp;  They talk about a woman caring about his needs and meeting them; even if  this were done for a price, it's the best experience he's ever had with  a woman.&amp;nbsp; Your typical, Anglosphere man never experienced that with the  likes of you, Bitch!&amp;nbsp; You and your Anglosphere sisters would rather DIE  than even THINK about doing something nice for your man back home!&amp;nbsp;  You're the same chicks who, in 10-15 years time (the same time you're  past your expiration date), will be bitching and moaning about the lack  of good men-incredible...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and let me point out something else  here: EVERY interaction a man has with a woman, especially if it  involves sex, will cost him; one way or another, the man WILL pay to  have access to her stink box.&amp;nbsp; The only difference is that a whore lets  the man know what the cost will be up front.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;My  friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a stay in a luxury hotel in  St Lucia for 10 days of pure pampering - and ideally a sexual encounter.  This was the first time I'd gone on holiday explicitly with this  intention. I was keen to find a St Lucian man as I'd heard they were  very well endowed. I had my eye on Sandi from my first day. He was a  local working in the cocktail bar, in his early thirties, and was very  handsome, muscular and toned with the perfect six-pack. We spent several  evenings drinking, chatting and flirting in the bar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;There  are very strict rules at the hotel about staff and guests so I knew I  had to make the first move. I told him I was going for a walk on the  beach - and we spent our first night together. It was very romantic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh,  please, spare me!&amp;nbsp; You got played, Honey.&amp;nbsp; This guy should stop by the  seduction fora out there; sounds like this old boy could teach us a  thing or two about bedding our hometown sluts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;This  was totally different from how I'd behave at home. In London, taking a  man home with you, there's always the fear that friends might see you,  not to mention potential dangers or the hassle of waking up in your flat  with a stranger. But on holiday the boundaries shift and you can behave  totally differently. You have a tan, you feel gorgeous, you're treated  like royalty - and everything is available and easy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you  were at all gorgeous (especially on the inside, i.e. you had a decent  personality); if you were even an average looking 23 year old woman;  then you would have NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER finding a decent man back  home-none!&amp;nbsp; Whether you want a LTR or a primal, one night stand, finding  a man back home should be no problem; for a woman in her early 20s, all  men are, as you put it, 'available and easy'.&amp;nbsp; The fact that you can't  find a man back home is rather telling, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's also  telling is her comment about how 'the boundaries shift' while on  holiday.&amp;nbsp; What she really means is that, on holiday, she can nurture her  inner slut; she can act like the slattern she is and face no shame for  doing so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Sandi and I had a great time.  On his day off, he took us to a local street party. I paid for taxis,  drinks and food. We needed his protection because St Lucian men had  certain misconceptions about white women - although I probably wasn't  helping.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;St. Lucian men view Anglosphere women as they truly  are: unbridled, debauched, amoral sluts.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And no, my dear,&amp;nbsp; you AREN'T  helping to combat that perception...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what else just  occurred to me?&amp;nbsp; When women have a guy pay for things for them, they say  he has no right to 'expect anything' (i.e. sex) in return.&amp;nbsp; Ah, but  when the women engage in similar behavior, they're doing it because they  'expect something in return'-duh!&amp;nbsp; How did I miss that?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;When  it came to leaving, I surprised myself by feeling quite gutted. I'd  wanted to do sex without feelings, just like the men, but there was a  definite trembling of the lips - for both of us. But as we flew home, my  friend and I were very pleased with everything that had happened. I'm  in a relationship at the moment but if I was single again I'd definitely  go on that kind of holiday. Why not?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why&amp;nbsp; not nurture your inner slut at home and save yourself the money, Honey? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah,  no matter how hard you try, you CAN'T 'have sex like a man', can you?&amp;nbsp;  You, as a woman, can't separate sex from love; for you, the two go  together like hand in glove. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Around  one in five British holidaymakers under the age of 25 is failing to  practise safe sex while abroad, according to a study published this  month by Trojan Condoms&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This  article was RIFE with examples of women's rationalization hamster in  action, wasn't it?&amp;nbsp; As I stated above, I can't give you anything close  to a dictionary definition of the phrase; for me, it's like defining  obscenity.&amp;nbsp; Like obscenity, I know the rationalization hamster when I  see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women are indeed hypocrites.&amp;nbsp; For example, they'll  chastise a man for engaging in sex tourism, yet for women, it's  different.&amp;nbsp; Don't you just LOVE how they say that when you catch them in  their inconsistencies?&amp;nbsp; Don't you just love how they excuse their own  hypocrisies?&amp;nbsp; But I'm a woman; it's 'different'-yeah, sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That  wraps up my commentary and analysis of this piece. The more I see of  women, the less highly I think of them; the more I think about them and  their natures, the less I think of them.&amp;nbsp; A famous man once said that no  man who has spent any time really THINKING about women has a high  opinion of them.&amp;nbsp; Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-354586715053315425?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-5583990725052230404?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/5583990725052230404/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=5583990725052230404' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/5583990725052230404'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/5583990725052230404'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/its-different-when-woman-does-it.html' title='It&apos;s &apos;Different&apos; When a Woman Does It!'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-7265686223765146455</id><published>2012-01-18T06:23:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T06:23:59.713-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Costa Concordia: Initial Observations</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've no doubt heard that the Italian cruise ship, the Costa Concordia, ran aground recently.&amp;nbsp; While I have to wait to do a proper rendering of this event, I have a couple of things to say.&amp;nbsp; One, the comments to the recent &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2086826/Costa-Concordia-cruise-ship-accident-French-survivor-tells-husband-gave-lifejacket.html" target="_blank"&gt;Daily Mail article&lt;/a&gt; on this show that men are wising up-yes!&amp;nbsp; There were many men who rightfully questioned why women should be first in an age of equality.&amp;nbsp; Secondly, women don't like this turn of events, but they cannot see the cause and effect of THEIR role in killing chivalry.&amp;nbsp; I'll have more to say this weekend, so stay tuned...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-7265686223765146455?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/7265686223765146455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=7265686223765146455' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/7265686223765146455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/7265686223765146455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/costa-concordia-initial-observations.html' title='Costa Concordia: Initial Observations'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-1089198614188334870</id><published>2012-01-17T12:34:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T12:34:00.251-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Cost of Marriage, by Christopher in Oregon</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's yet another MASTERPIECE by Christopher in Oregon.   Though he still doesn't have his own blog yet, he does share his  thoughts on the &lt;a href="http://happybachelor.proboards.com/index.cgi" target="_blank"&gt;Happy Bachelors&lt;/a&gt; forum.  This is yet another masterpiece by my biking buddy, Christopher in Oregon...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Fellows,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  think I've mentioned a friend of mine in the past. His name is Tom.  We've known each other since we were small children, but parted company  when he got married the first time. His wife was a slut of the first  order. She cheated on him, even hit on me, and the marriage ended after  about ten years. Lost his house. One kid who has been brainwashed by the  mother to hate him. Never talks to him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Married  again, second wife cheated on him with a sixteen-year-old, and again,  the marriage ended and he lost another house. Two kids; reasonable  relationship with both of them although the mother has tried to destroy  that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Ten years ago,  he married a CPA he met when he was visiting relatives in Austria. He  brought her here, certain that this devout Catholic from the old country  would be more traditional. Nope. She cheated on him, and they divorced.  Lost another house that he's renting back from the people he sold it  to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;He now has three renters occupying the spare bedrooms in order to help pay the rent on what was once his own house.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;This  formerly robust fellow, who was always athletic, at only 49, is falling  apart. The stress has given him severe ulcer problems. He can't eat. He  is losing weight like I've never seen before. The stress of his  ex-wives, and the problems with his children, are slowly wasting him  away. One of his son's is about to marry a tramp, and it's killing my  friend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I warned him  each time he got married to not do it. The first time we were nineteen,  and each subsequent time I tried to reason with him. He quietly ignored  me, and now he is paying the price.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;This man's life is effectively ruined. His health is is deteriorating rapidly. Stress is killing him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;All because of women and his inability to see them for what they are and say "NO" to himself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Such  an insane price to pay, and what a vantage point to sit by and watch  over a period of thirty years a friend being ruined by women.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Christopher in Oregon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So,  what did we learn from this?

This is good stuff!  Enjoy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Fellows,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It  feels good to be back. Truly. I believe, if you don't mind, I shall  stick around. If that's okay. Unless some other disaster befalls a  friend, or worse yet, little old me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;My thoughts today revolve around a large 800 pound black behemoth sitting in my garage. No, not a woman. Worse. A Harley.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Come  this December, I will have been the proud owner of this mass of  Milwaukee metal for five years. It's certainly not the only Harley I've  owned, but it's the one that I've had longer than any other Harley. When  I bought it, it came with a two-year warranty, and naturally, like any  discerning motorcyclist, I purchased at great expense, the extended  warranty. It came in handy more times than I thought possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;However,  something happened. The warranty ran out. Terror of terrors. A Harley  with no warranty. In my possession. Scary thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;True  to form, once the warranty expired, it's as if my beloved Electra Glide  has started to fall apart mechanically and electronically. One thing  after another. Most recently, it was the stator. What the heck is a  stator? I don't know, but it cost me $725 bucks to replace it. Plus, I  have found out that stator's sometimes go bad several times a year on  some Harley's.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hmm. Hadn't figured on this. My Beemer and my Hondas and my Kymcos ran and ran and ran and ran. Reliably.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Which  brings me to a point. An epiphany, I suppose, about women and how they  relate to Harley's. No, I'm not talking about women and their obsession  with vibrating Harley motors. I'm talking about how once the newness  wears off, the product starts falling apart. A Harley and a woman are  much alike. Both can be pretty, sound nice, and be fun to ride hard, but  neither is reliable or trustworthy. Either will betray you when you  least expect it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;But my line of reasoning goes one step further.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Cost. $$$. Dollars and cents. Money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The  actual expense of maintaining a deteriorating thing, be it a Harley or a  woman, that is only going to fall apart at a rapidly increasing pace.  My service record for my Harley over the last almost five years,  including accessories, reads like a phone book. It's huge. Lest you  think I unfairly factor in accessories into the equation, try being  married and see how many "accessories" and shiny trinkets you end up  buying on your way to the poor house. It adds up. Fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;A  woman's body, like a Harley, starts to fall apart once the ink is  barely dry on the contract. At first, it's hidden. You don't really see  the process taking place. A little trouble starting one day. A little  cough at idle. A minor thing breaking or falling off. Then, one day, the  process is no longer hidden. It becomes glaringly obvious that you've  married, er, purchased, a lemon. A big fat, quivering cellulite-laden  lemon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;And it ain't gonna get any better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Women  decay fast. Really, really fast. If you think a Harley falls to pieces,  and they DO, I can assure you, then you have a brief glimmer into your  future if you get married.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Fine, so you say have health insurance with a small deductible. It won't be THAT bad, will it? Not really?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Ah, think again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Do  you know what it's like to spend your spare time hauling a woman to the  doctor? Then another doctor? And another? Do you know what it's like to  sit for hours in the lobby waiting for her to emerge from her latest  visit? I do. You sit there watching other men and their fat wives  waddling to and fro. You get bored, so you watch the kids in the lobby  playing. Uh, no. Better not. Might go to jail. Why do they only have  women's magazines in the lobby? Nary a Cycle World to be found. So you  watch the fish in the aquarium. Wishing you were in the tank. Swimming  gracefully without a care in the world. Then she emerges with a scowl. A  little bag full of sample pills and a fistful of prescriptions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Next  stop: the pharmacy. Another line to wait in. What? They can't get the  pills ready now? You've got to come back tomorrow? But you wanted to  relax tomorrow. Oh, no. You're MARRIED now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Side  effects? She can't sleep because the pills make her nervous and  irritable. Another trip to the doctor. Another trip to the pharmacist.  More lines. More deductibles. More side-effects. More sleepless nights.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;What,  you wanted sex tonight? Just a handjob, please? You pig. Don't you know  she doesn't feel sexy when she is sick? Sick? You thought she was okay.  Just a minor rash. Or something. But, no. She's a woman, and a woman  has Problems. Female Problems, which is really YOUR fault, anyway. You  pig.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Displacia? What  the heck is that? Your wife has displacia? You find out that it's  because she slept around a lot before she met you, and now her vagina is  going to be a test lab for a few years. No sex for you. Pig. (and you  thought she was a virgin when you met her) Do you know what a woman is  like when she is recovering from surgery, or worse yet, a yeast  infection? How about a hysterectomy? Or breast cancer that one-in-eight  eventually get? Do you know what it's like to try and sleep in the same  bed with a woman who just had surgery? I don't know personally, but I've  heard. You lie there, afraid to turn over in bed because it will  disturb her sleep. You have to get up and pee? Think again. You might  wake Her Highness up, and you musn't do that. You selfish pig. You  should have peed before you went to sleep. But you're over forty, and  you have to pee several times at night. Tough. Hold it in, or there will  be hell to pay. Real hell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Do  you know what it's like to have to change your bed-ridden wife's  diapers? Morning, noon, and night? Day after day? Month after month?  Year after year? Can you imagine the smell? The filth? Carrying her  soiled body to the tub to wash her, as she is berating you for being...  you. All the while your own health deteriorates from stress. The endless  monotony. You pray for death. Your own. Or hers. It doesn't matter.  Anything to be free. Time passes so agonizingly slowly when you are  blessed with a sick wife. Every tick of the clock seems to mock you.  Fool. Tick. Fool. Tick. Fool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Those words you so lightly spoke years ago "In sickness and in health...." Now they come back to haunt you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;There  is no light at the end of the tunnel. It goes on and on until one of  you is dead. Endless, agonizing drudgery. No reprieve. On one of your  endless trips to the pharmacy you look wistfully at a man you see riding  by alone on his motorcycle. Knowing he has a freedom you dare not even  dream about. It's far too painful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;What?  Your insurance won't pay for this new medication? Two-hundred dollars?  For pills? Every month. Surely the pharmacist is wrong. Nope, he says.  Look right here. Not covered. You could call your doctor, he says, to  try something else. No. Better not. Oh, almost forgot the Kotex. Gotta  have Kotex. "Heavy days" has taken on a whole new meaning to you. What  does the pharmacist have for migraines? Yours, or hers he asks? Hers,  you respond. Ah, he says. What does he mean, ah? Is he married? No ring  on his finger. Maybe he's smart. Maybe he's a bachelor.  Maybe......what's that? I need to see my wife's doctor for another  prescription for migraine headaches? Might interact with the $200 a  bottle pills, he says. Can't have that. Might kill the wife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Sigh. You should be so lucky.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;You  finally drag yourself home, Kotex in tow. What? She wanted Tampons?  Back you go. What? The doctor's office called while you were gone. Your  wife is now diabetic. From all the weight she has gained. Insulin? Test  strips? HOW much is this costing? We have to take a class? To teach us  how we are now going to eat? But you're not diabetic, you think. Why  should YOU have to give up pies and cakes?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Selfish pig.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Plus,  her blood pressure is skyrocketing. She IS a size eighteen, after all.  She's not eating more, though. Or so she says. It's her thyroid. Always  the thyroid. What? She'll probably get bigger until they straighten out  her thyroid, she tells you, as she munches away. You look at her sitting  there. Fat. Red-faced. Wearing a mumu. Eating. Always eating.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Thighs. My, how they've grown you think as you get a glimpse of her pasty-white legs peeking out of the mumu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;How  about the dentist? Ah, you didn't know your companies health insurance  wouldn't cover all of her dental work, did you? What's that?  Five-thousand dollars to fix her teeth? And YOU have to pay for it?  There goes that big screen you wanted. Ah, hell. There's some  consolation. She probably wouldn't have let you buy it, anyway. And if  she did, you'd only watch what SHE liked. Possibly the dentist can  remove those fangs while he's working on her.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Ah,  well. At least you'll be in love. If you love a woman, and she loves  you, it doesn't matter, right? Ah, love is grand. It will carry you  through any adversity. These trials will just bring you closer together.  Nothing spells lovin' like seeing your wife's teeth all yanked out in  anticipation of having dentures installed in her yap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Gotta run. It's gettin' too damn deep around here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Christopher in Oregon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let this be a warning to you.

When the sight and sound of pussy blinds  younger men and allows them to be controlled by women though their  hormones, it's when civilization serves a greater purpose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;Because,  in civilized society, the power usually rested with the older, more  mature and less gullible men who'd made it past their testosterone  induced phase of insanity. Civilization was the solution to the earlier,  tribal level matriarchies. &amp;nbsp;Remember that pussy is a biochemical WMD;  wherever it is used, there is mass chaos and destruction. &amp;nbsp;How many wars  and conflicts have been fought at the urging and behest of women? More  than any honest man would admit to and would be proud of.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;And  yet, when most men pass the age of 30-35, they begin to awaken from  this biochemical "dream" and what do they awaken beside? What do married  men look forward to the next 30-50 years of their lives? Sleeping with a  living corpse, which continues to torture and destroy them day by day?  Looking forward to the time when the woman undergoes the process of  metamorphosis, into a completely insane mummy (menopause and post  menopause)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;Pussy  is indeed way overrated and if younger men could get a shot of  "anti-testosterone" for a few weeks, they could see through the eyes of  men who are 40+; without the haze of hormones, you cannot believe how  much farther you can see! It's the difference between seeing the horizon  through LA style smog and seeing the horizon from a high mountain in  the Rockies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;Pussy  is a man's Achilles heel; once that man realizes this and takes the  appropriate steps, he'll never lose his peace of mind again. &amp;nbsp;To these  skeptical young men I say, there is an infinitely vast arena where you  can have anything you desire, and can succeed at anything you wish to  try for; all you have to do is see women for what they truly are, and  become a master of the beast within; once you do that women's true face  will be visible to you, and you'll never again partake of that foul  potion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;It  is possible to tame that beast, and indeed it is a certainty that you  will learn much from the process of taming it; all it takes is patience  and time. Look at your fellow men, your brothers in arms, and look at  their almost invisible chains, and wonder at why you would desire such  an existence for yourself?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;In  my life, I have yet to meet a single man who is or was ever happily  married; I've met enough who bore their pain in stoic silence, and with  only the occasional grimace of pain as the lash comes down on them again  for any trivial infraction against their taskmaster wives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;To  the young men out there: read this site and learn; this site is a book  with hundreds of pages of accumulated wisdom, a treasure trove many  married men wish they had discovered before they became enslaved by  pussy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can I POSSIBLY add to  that?! &amp;nbsp;SD, like his hero, applied cold hearted logic when analzying  pussy. &amp;nbsp;The Force is STRONG with that one! &amp;nbsp;Actually, there is one thing  that the younger men can do until their sex drives die down  permanently: masturbate before going out with a woman. &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://mirrorofthesoul.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Mirror of the Soul&lt;/a&gt;  recommended this, because it would help you see the woman AS SHE IS;  your hormones wouldn't be getting in the way of your better judgement.  &amp;nbsp;To put it another way, since the little head had been, shall we say,  quieted down, the bigger head could work properly; the bigger head will  then allow you to see a woman for who she REALLY is. &amp;nbsp;Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-7547540592996336661?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-5713218065445186271?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/5713218065445186271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=5713218065445186271' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/5713218065445186271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/5713218065445186271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/pussy-is-overrated-by-spocks-disciple.html' title='Pussy Is Overrated, by Spocks Disciple'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-2439244012620872482</id><published>2012-01-14T13:04:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T13:12:28.283-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Ex-Wives Angry Over Paying Alimony</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's &lt;a href="http://www.abcnews.go.com/Business/role-reversal-wives-angry-paying-alimony/Story?id=8662940&amp;amp;page=1" target="_blank"&gt;an excellent article to check out&lt;/a&gt;: the one on women angry @ paying alimony to their ex-husbands.

Sign me up!  I'm in the wrong  business!  Why work for an honest living when I could have cashed out on  some career bitch?!  Now we know why women have been so eager to marry  us...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;She got angry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you get angry when this was happening only to men?  Yeah, that's what I thought...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"It's  so obscene," said Holly Chiancola, 52, a Gloucester, Mass. real estate  agent who is fighting the terms of a divorce settlement ordered by a  judge in 2006.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wah, wah, wah, fucking wah!  Now that I'm getting REAL equality, I don't want it anymore-waaaaaaaahhhhh!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;You  used to hear about divorced men complaining that their ex-wives were  unfairly cutting into their income. Now, as more women become primary  breadwinners, the complaints increasingly come from them. The number of  American men receiving alimony has climbed, from 7,000 in 1998 to 13,000  last year, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah,  but when it was happening to men, that was okay.  When men complained  about it, they were told to quit trying to get out of their obligations;  they were told to suck it up; they were told that they hated women;  they were told lots of things when they complained about unjust alimony  settlements.  Women raised nary a PEEP in objection to the injustices  heaped upon men in family court; hell, a church mouse made more noise  than women did about men getting taken to the cleaners during divorce  cases!  Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it's now 'different',  eh?  And I thought women were supposed to be the more empathetic  sex-yeah, right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Chiancola's ex, who declined to comment for this story, is among them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good,  we need more men like him!  When women start getting the equality they  kvetched for, then they MIGHT become aware of the injustices done to men  over the past decades.  When women were making out like bandits in  divorce court, everything was okay, huh?  Women are fucking hypocrites!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW,  if I utter or write the phrase, 'hypocritical women', am I being  redundant? Am I committing some sort of grammatical faux pas?  I was  just wondering...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Thanks in  part to the pre-financial crisis real estate boom, Chiancola earned  considerably more than her ex-husband, a sometime carpenter and fashion  model, during their 19-year-marriage. She said her ex didn't hesitate to  take advantage of that -- even though her income plummeted after the  real estate boom years, and she's now struggling to make her mortgage  payments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if the Bradley Amendment will be  applied to Holly Chiancola?  Or does the Bradley Amendment apply only to  child support payments?  I was wondering, because oftentimes child  support payments are set high to include a de facto alimony component as  well.  I would LOVE to see women subject to the Bradley Amendment  though!  Then, women like Mrs. Chiancola, whose income fell due to  reasons beyond her control (as has happened to many men due to layoffs,  health reasons, etc.), would be forced to keep the payments up at their  previously high levels; even though their decreased income could no  longer support such high alimony payments, it would be nice to see women  get a taste of the medicine that they've been dishing out to us over  the past two or three decades.  REAL equality would be great!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  know how to tell if you're achieving real equality?  Do you know how to  tell when women are being subject to the same treatment men are?  They  start squealing like stuck pigs-ha!  They start screaming bloody murder!   Waaaaaaaahhhh, this isn't fair-waaaaaaaaahhhhhh!  It was all right  when we were taking you men to the cleaners.  Now that you're returning  the favor, we don't like it so much-waaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!  It was perfectly  all right when I was stealing the fruits of  your labor; now that  you're doing it to me, it sucks-waaaaaaaaahhhh! You know what I have to  say to that?  Welcome to my life, Bitch!  How do you like living in a  man's world, hmmmm?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Chiancola  said she partly blames Massachusetts' "outdated" divorce laws for her  predicament -- she is a supporter of the group Mass Alimony Reform --  but she's also plenty outraged at her husband.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, but  they weren't outdated when they were favoring women, were they?  When  the divorce laws totally favored women, why the laws were modern and  fair, weren't they?  Now that you have fallen under the purview of laws  YOU women pushed, why that's not fair.  Tough noogies, Ladies!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"He went for the jugular, believe me," she said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh,  Darlin', I have to ask some questions here.  How often did you cheer  your divorcing friends through the years, hmmm?  How often did you  exhort, admonish, and cheer your friends to 'take that bastard to the  cleaners'?  How often did you cheer, 'you go, grrl!!'?  Is this an  instance of bad karma coming home to roost?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Aggressive  pursuit of spousal support by men is becoming more common, some divorce  lawyers say, as the stigma of asking for alimony fades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good,  I hope the stigma against men seeking alimony from their ex-wives fades  for good!  I want to see REAL, genuine equality here, damn it!  I want  women to get what they said they wanted all those years and decades ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  know, we men have to stop being stupid, chivalrous fucks when it comes  to women; we have to stop playing fair &amp;amp; just with them.  Do they  play fair with us?  Uh, that was a RHETORICAL question, folks.  Well  then, let's treat women the same way that they've treated us in divorce.   Only when women start to be AFFECTED by these onerous, unfair, and  unjust divorce laws will things finally change.  The more empathetic sex  at its finest-you gotta love it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"Early  on, men were somewhat embarrassed to ask for alimony because it went  across their defined roles in the culture. That has diminished," said  Marlene Moses, the president-elect of the American Academy of  Matrimonial Lawyers, an organization of family law attorneys. "There's  been a revolution of men and their rights and the vigor with which they  pursue legal opportunities for themselves."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's about  damned time we pursue legal opportunities for ourselves!  Goodness knows  that women have been doing that to us for decades...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It's  a revolution, experts say, that has been going on for more than 20  years -- actress Joan Collins' divorce and alimony case made headlines  in the 1980s -- but today, it's still catching some women off guard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's only catching women off guard because the divorce laws are finally starting to affect THEM...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Take  Terry, a 56-year-old Florida healthcare executive, who asked to have  her last name withheld because her divorce from her husband is not yet  settled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terry, the healthcare exec, is making big bucks.   In the interest of fairness and the spirit of equality, she should  share at least half of that with her ex, hehehe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"He's a very independent man, a very macho guy, and I was quite surprised that he would ask for alimony," said Terry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No,  what you were surprised at was that he'd play the game the way you and your  sisters would play it; you're surprised that he and his fellow,  divorcing men are emulating women's winning, lucrative ways.  IOW, now  that the divorce laws are biting YOU &amp;amp; YOUR FELLOW SISTERS in the  ass, it's not all fun &amp;amp; games anymore, is it?  Now that you have  true equality, it's all of a sudden unfair?!  Cry me a river, Bitch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  know how women are always bleating that they're strong &amp;amp;  independent while they receive money from their exes?  Well, I think  it's good for men to be 'independent' too; I think it's good for men to  be as 'independent as women are-all in the spirit of equality, of  course... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Alimony Ex-Husband: 'I Helped Her'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll  bet he did, because she wouldn't have time to do more mundane, routine  tasks (e.g. paying the bills, looking after the house, et al) herself.   Someone has to tend to the home front; in this case, it was her ex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh,  and I just love how the writer, a woman, tries to cast the ex-husband  in a negative light.  She doesn't simply say 'ex-husband'; no, she says  'Alimony ex-husband'.  Would she have said that if the roles were  reversed?  Would she have said that if Terry, the wife, were receiving  the alimony instead?  No, she would not.  If anything, she'd be bitching  that the $2,500 per month is too low, that the ex was getting off 'too  easy'.  Again, women are fucking hypocrites!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Terry said her soon-to-be ex is asking for $2,500 per month in alimomy -- and she's fighting it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  only got hit with $2,500 per month?  Compared to most men, you got off  easy, Darlin'.  I hope that when you take this before the judge, that  you get your alimony assessment INCREASED!  Then, we'd have real  equality!  Then, you gals would start getting a taste of the medicine  that you were all giddy about giving to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Terry,  who earns more than $100,000 a year, said she's not against the  principle of women paying alimony to their former spouses. But in her  case, she said, it's not warranted. Her husband was laid off from an  $85,000 per year job several months ago, but "he's completely capable of  earning a living."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, is he really?  Just where is your  ex supposed to FIND another job, let alone one paying $85,000/year?  Where is he supposed to find a job paying anywhere CLOSE to that amount,  hmmm?  After all, this is the man-cession, isn't it?  During this  recession, it's been mostly men losing their jobs these days, or have  you been living under a rock?  No, you were too busy getting your spa  treatments, more shoes, etc. to notice that, weren't you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly,  your ex-husband has a penis, not a pussy.  Ergo, being a man, he  doesn't get any pussy pass like you gals do.  Perhaps you women can  easily replace a lost job, but it's not so easy for men to do so.  Just  because you gals get preferences for college admissions decisions; just  because you gals get preferences in hiring decisions; just because you  gals get preferences in promotion decisions and the raises that go with  them; doesn't mean that men get similar treatment.  If anything, we get  the opposite.  Terry, my dear, your husband may be quite capable of  earning a living; whether or not he'll actually have the OPPORTUNITY to  do so is another matter entirely...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;For  some men, just as with some women, it's past experience, not future  earning potential, that weighs heavily on their decisions to seek  alimony. One divorced New England man told ABCNews.com that he deserved  tens of thousands in alimony payments because he played a key role in  his ex-wife's professional success.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, past experience  of being dumped on and discriminated against in the workplace prompted  him to seek alimony-because he knew he'd NEED it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"I  helped her out in the background," said the man, who asked that his  name be withheld due to ongoing divorce proceedings. Without him, he  said, "there's absolutely no way she could have done what she did."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, we're about to get some TRUTH in a MSM piece.  Can you believe it?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Despite  the increases in men seeking and receiving alimony, advocates warn  against linking the trend to equality in the courtroom. Family court  judges still tend to favor women, said Ned Holstein, the founder of  Fathers &amp;amp; Families, a group advocating family court reform.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  got that shit right!  You bet your ass family court judges favor women!   Hell, if they favored women any more than they already do, they'd be  women themselves.  Wait, we have a word for such treasonous pussies:  manginas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"Family court still  gives custody overwhelmingly to mothers, child support overwhelmingly  to mothers, and courts still give alimony overwhelmingly to mothers and  women," he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"The  family courts came into existence years ago in order to give things to  mothers that mothers needed," he said. "The times have changed and the  courts have not."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man NAILED it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Recession Brings More Male Alimony?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Today's  economy may be adding new men to ranks of alimony-seekers. As  traditionally male-dominated industries like finance and construction  continue to struggle, more men are finding themselves with lower income  or no income at all, forcing a newfound dependence on their wives or, in  some cases, ex-wives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What they don't tell you is that,  because we're not in any protected class; because we're white males;  firing men is the most expedient thing for companies to do.  If women  are fired, the NOW Gang will come to their aid.  If men are fired, well  that's too freakin' bad; they'll just have to suck it up and deal with  it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, in the spirit of equality, I think that women should  be subject to the same things that men have endured for decades: having  all the responsibilities of marriage (e.g. financial provision) with  none of the benefits thereof.  I think that this is great!  We need more  men seeking alimony, so women can finally achieve the equality that  they've fought for-ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Earlier  this year, a British judge ruled that Elena Bowes Marano should pay her  ex, real estate tycoon Peter Marano, 5 million pounds (about $8  million) after his property portfolio dwindled in value -- an order that  Elena, originally from a wealthy California family, is fighting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Such  cases notwithstanding, a reversal of traditional gender roles in a  divorce doesn't necessarily create more acrimony, experts say.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BULLLLLLLSHIT!!!   If that were the case, then why are women screaming bloody murder now  that they're being forced to pay alimony?  Wasn't Terry, the healthcare  exec mentioned in a previous paragraph, bitching about having to pay a  mere $2,500 per month while earning $100,000 per year?  Wasn't she  saying, "Waaaaaaaahhhh, he can earn a living!  Why should I have to pay  him alimony?!  Waaaaaahhhh!"  Are those words and the tone thereof  acrimonious?  I don't know, but they're a great imitation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Alexis  Martin Neely, a prominent California family lawyer, is an  alimony-paying woman content with her divorce settlement. Supporting her  husband, she has said, allows him to spend time with their children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"I  do really like him being available for the kids and their school events  and if he can't work and do that, I'd rather support him to be readily  available for them," she wrote in a blog post. "He deserves it and so do  they."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prima facie evidence that women are NATURAL liars-what a crock...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All  right, that concludes my commentary and analysis of this ABC News  piece.  I have to tell you, since I unplugged, seeing through this  hypocrisy is so easy!  I feel like I'm shooting fish in a barrel  sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all seriousness, I'd like to see alimony changed or  abolished altogether.  I don't like to see anyone, male or female, be  unjustly punished by unfair laws.  Clearly, the divorce laws need to be  changed.  And pigs will fly soon too!  Seriously though, the only way  these alimony laws will change is if women are affected by them.   Otherwise, they won't give a damn about what they do to us.  Then again,  women don't give a damn about men anyway, but that's another post.   Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-2439244012620872482?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/2439244012620872482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=2439244012620872482' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/2439244012620872482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/2439244012620872482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/ex-wives-angry-over-paying-alimony.html' title='Ex-Wives Angry Over Paying Alimony'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-4076928640646422602</id><published>2012-01-14T10:48:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T10:48:29.974-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Wise Words from a 38 Year Old Bachelor</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outcast Superstar had this comment left on his now defunct  blog.  He thankfully put it up on Happy Bachelors also.  These are wise  words from a Christian man; these are words to LIVE by, Fellas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;You  will find as you get older that you were indeed saved from a trap. I am  38 and was raised a Christian and believed marriage was my calling only  to find out that all the girls I observed were too screwed up to make  suitable wives/mothers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't that the truth! &amp;nbsp;Not all  women are too screwed up to be suitable wives and mothers, but they're  in a distinct minority. &amp;nbsp;To put it another way, there aren't enough  decent women to go around. &amp;nbsp; The number of women who would make decent  wives and mothers is asymptotically close to zero; finding a woman like  that in modern Amerika would be akin to hitting the lottery...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;  know the feelings you describe and know I too could have made a lucky  young lady VERY happy if she would have just fought off her natural  instict to be a rotten bitch at least until I married her, lol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Modern,  American women are too 'empowered' to be nice to men at all these days!  &amp;nbsp;That works in our favor though, because we see the rotten bitch from  the get-go; we see her soon enough to bail out when we have nothing  invested in her or a relationship with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;With  the feminist movement "liberating" women (men) what you are seeing in  modern times are females in their true natural form, warts and all, and  as you have found out they are not so pretty and far removed from what  we pictured in our childhood dreams as ideal mates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zenpriest said it best: feminism liberated us men far more than it ever liberated women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;Girls  in generations past were taught to use their youthful looks, virginity  and charm and act "lady like" until they landed a lifelong supportive,  respectful husband because single females had little means of self  support and being an old maid stuck on Mom and Dads' farm was considered  a fate worse than death. Although some girls may have secretly lusted  after trashy badboys from the wrong side of the tracks they were usually  smart enough to know to avoid them or pay the price with a lifetime of  abandonment,poverty and abuse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;With  inventions like the electric car starter, birth control pill, welfare  and telecommunications girls are no longer stuck on Dads' farm or have  to rely on a husband for support or even to make babies for that matter.  The shitty attitude towards good men and love of assholes was always  there, where once it was kept hidden out of necessity of survival, with  modern feminism it now is out in the open for all to see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amen....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be back again soon, Fellas. &amp;nbsp;Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-4076928640646422602?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/4076928640646422602/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=4076928640646422602' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/4076928640646422602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/4076928640646422602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/wise-words-from-38-year-old-bachelor.html' title='Wise Words from a 38 Year Old Bachelor'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-325028251494324671</id><published>2012-01-14T10:47:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T10:47:20.942-05:00</updated><title type='text'>EN's Observations of Women</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was reading &lt;a href="http://drhelen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Dr. Helen's&lt;/a&gt; most recent post (the one for 8 Mar 2011), and there was a comment by EN that I liked.&amp;nbsp; EN shares his observations of women...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;As  a 58-year-old man who was married for 30 years and divorced my ex 6   years ago, my take is similar to that of other men. Some observations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.   Women within my lifespan weren't happy in the dark days of the 1950s,   60s, 70s, 80s, 90s... and here we are. It's always the fault of men and   they will weepily tell you that, "he used me and cheated on me"  ("gosh,  over and over and over, you have such bad luck with scumbags. I  can't  for the life of me figure out why you're so unlucky."). I've  known since  I was about five years old and listening to my mom that  there's never  been a strong line between what woman say and what they  do. And there's  never a woman so unhappy as the one who gets what they  say they wanted.  An unhappy woman is like granite, only they don't live  long enough to  changed much by time. Always look to her habits lads,  not the ones she  says she has, but the ones she actually has. When a  woman starts talking  about what she wants or expects, it should be like  bees buzzing so as  not to confuse you. Their world is not bad, just  different. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  Men have it easier than ever. There's simply no  need to work too hard  for a woman. In fact, it works against you if you  do try hard. I would  guess that close to 70 percent of the woman I  meet are so self loathing  as to find any man who would court them,  honor them and cherish them as  an unworthy tool, as in, "If you think  I'm special you're cute, but  obviously an idiot". Men who treat them  with respect will be treated  like a favorite poodle, while guys in  dirty tee shirts and a bag full of  condoms who do not treat them well  will enjoy the more carnal  pleasures. It's a simple matter of tee-shirt  boy is the one who really  understands them, and that's what you lads  need to understand. It's not  bad or good, just the way it is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never  forget the serious  disconnect between what a woman says and what she  does, especially if you  like her. In fact, if a woman tells me she  likes candle lit dinners and  long witty conversations, I immediately  assume she prefers her sex in the  car on the way home from work, so she  can get their in time to watch  Grey's Anatomy and talk to her sister  on the phone. Embrace the  contradiction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other 30 percent I know are married and not in my sample. But if I had to guess about them we'd have to back to point one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good stuff, would you not agree?&amp;nbsp; Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-4488542690459974893?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-325028251494324671?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/325028251494324671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=325028251494324671' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/325028251494324671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/325028251494324671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/ens-observations-of-women.html' title='EN&apos;s Observations of Women'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-971937740287138296</id><published>2012-01-14T10:14:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T10:15:41.124-05:00</updated><title type='text'>What The Toilet Seat Says About Women</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've had   another flash of insight; I've had another 'eureka!' moment.&amp;nbsp; What's   that, you ask?&amp;nbsp; What the toilet seat says about women.&amp;nbsp; It says a lot, actually.&amp;nbsp; What does it say about women?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The toilet seat is living proof that women will complain about anything and everything.&amp;nbsp; The toilet seat shows us that women cannot and will not accept responsibility for themselves.&amp;nbsp; The toilet seat shows us that women have no perspective about anything.&amp;nbsp; The toilet seat is living proof of &lt;a href="http://www.inmalafide.com/blog/2009/10/06/eternal-solipsism-of-the-female-mind/" target="_blank"&gt;the eternal solipsism of the female mind&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The toilet seat provides empirical evidence that, no matter what or how much they get, women will never be happy.&amp;nbsp; Finally, the toilet seat shows us that women are spoiled, entitled brats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One,   it says women will complain about anything-anything!&amp;nbsp; Women can't be   happy; they won't allow themselves to be happy; if they have nothing to   complain about, by golly, they'll invent something to complain about.&amp;nbsp;   In spite of all that they should be thankful for, women aren't thankful   at all; they have no gratitude whatsoever.&amp;nbsp; Why?&amp;nbsp; Because they bitch  and  moan about the toilet seat, that's why!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two,   it says that women cannot and will not accept responsibility for   themselves or their actions.&amp;nbsp; Rather than look down, assess the   condition of the seat, and make any needed  adjustment to  the seat prior to sitting down; women would rather blame a  man for the  fact that she sat down without looking first.&amp;nbsp; Waaaaaahhh,  it's all the  man's fault-waaaaaahhhh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three, it says that women  have no  sense of perspective whatsoever.&amp;nbsp; Of all the problems in the  world; of  all the things going on worthy of concern; of all the things  they can  and should be thankful for; women complain about the freaking toilet seat?!&amp;nbsp; Come on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four, the toilet seat   is proof positive that women are childish, immature beings whose  mental  and emotional maturity never progresses beyond the teenage  level.&amp;nbsp; Who  else besides an immature, spoiled child would make a  complaint like  that?&amp;nbsp; Who else would absolve themselves of any and all  responsibility  for themselves other than women?&amp;nbsp; The toilet seat is living proof of &lt;a href="http://www.inmalafide.com/blog/2009/10/06/eternal-solipsism-of-the-female-mind/" target="_blank"&gt;the eternal solipsism of the female mind&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Five,   it says that no matter how much women get, they won't be happy.&amp;nbsp; Have   they changed society in their image?&amp;nbsp; Yes.&amp;nbsp; Do they get preferences in   college admissions?&amp;nbsp; Yes, they do.&amp;nbsp; Do they get preference in  employment  hiring decisions?&amp;nbsp; They most definitely do!&amp;nbsp; I saw inferior  (in terms  of grades, accomplishments, etc.) female classmates get  better jobs than  I and other men in our STEM program did.&amp;nbsp; Do females  get preference in  promotion decisions?&amp;nbsp; Oh, yes they do!&amp;nbsp; When I worked  in Whoreporate  America, every position of power (other than the  division head) in my  office was occupied by a woman.&amp;nbsp; Women have gotten  everything they said  that they wanted over the last few decades, yet  they aren't happy; they  still find something to bitch and moan about:  the toilet seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Six,  it says that  women are entitled; it says that they expect someone else  (i.e. men) do  everything for them.&amp;nbsp; Rather than put the seat  down  themselves, they expect a MAN to do it for them.&amp;nbsp; WTF?!&amp;nbsp; Whatever   happened to sisters doing it for themselves?&amp;nbsp; Whatever happened to women   not needing a stinkin' man?&amp;nbsp; Whatever happened to women needing men   like fish need bicycles?&amp;nbsp; If those statements are true, then WHY do   women need men to put the toilet seat down for them, hmmm?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You   know what's sobering?&amp;nbsp; We gave these creatures the right to vote!&amp;nbsp;  Yes,  that's right; we gave these childish, immature, spoiled brats the  right  to decide who has power over us, to decide OUR futures.&amp;nbsp; With the  way  women handle the toilet seat issue and what it says about them, is it any wonder why they were denied the vote?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, the toilet seat   gives us insight into women and their natures.&amp;nbsp; One, women will   complain about everything; for them, complaining is as natural as   breathing.&amp;nbsp; Two, the toilet seat shows us women are incapable of accepting responsibility for themselves.&amp;nbsp; Three, the toilet seat shows us women have no perspective whatsoever, and they have no perspective about anything at all.&amp;nbsp; Four, the toilet seat shows us that women are childish, immature beings who are incapable of acting like adults.&amp;nbsp; Five, the toilet seat   provides us proof that women cannot and will not allow themselves to  be  happy; if they have nothing to be unhappy about it, then they'll  find  something to be unhappy about.&amp;nbsp; Finally, the toilet seat   shows us that women are entitled, spoiled brats who expect someone  else  to do things for them-so much for sisters doin' it for  themselves.&amp;nbsp; The  toilet seat shows us what women are REALLY like, and it ain't sugar and spice and everything nice.&amp;nbsp; Until next time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-7759562954547152002?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-6856505449817365603?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-971937740287138296?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/971937740287138296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=971937740287138296' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/971937740287138296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/971937740287138296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-toilet-seat-says-about-women.html' title='What The Toilet Seat Says About Women'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-6688233614870319506</id><published>2012-01-11T21:23:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T06:14:56.239-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I Expected More...</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The video you're about to see is of Mystery in action.&amp;nbsp;

He talked about women  using shaming language on us, and I responded to him by what I think it  revealed about women when they used it.  As I reread what I said months  ago, I thought it would make a good post on its own.  My brilliant  insight awed even me!  So, the next time a woman shouts you down for  voicing our very real, very legitimate complaints, here's what it  reveals about the woman.  Here's my response to JD below...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You  bring up an interesting point, JD, and I'd like to expand on it. It's a  point I don't make often enough on here: what shaming language REALLY  reveals about the woman using it. When a woman throws a tantrum, and  accuses us of not 'manning up', of not 'doing our duty', it's very, very  revealing, my friend. It's more revealing than the woman realizes. How  so? Give me a few minutes, and I'll explain...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One, it says that  women are not at all empathetic, contrary to what the MSM has told us;  women are not the great empaths of the universe. The very fact that they  won't even acknowledge, let alone LISTEN, to our very real, very  substantive complaints is prima facie evidence of this. They just  blithely dismiss what we have to say without even listening to it! That  should lead any guy with two or more brain cells knocking togethter to  ask this one, simple question: if she won't listen to me, my thoughts,  and my complaints now prior to a relationship with her, then why should I  believe that she'd listen to me after I say "I do"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two, when  women dismiss our complaints, it says that they don't see us as human  beings. They don't see us as having thoughts, feelings, dreams, desires,  and needs that matter. It's all about THEM-all about them! They'll crow  incessantly about having THEIR needs met, but they won't even take two  seconds to listen to ours! They damn sure won't attempt to MEET our  needs! That prompts me to ask this: why would I want to be with someone  who doesn't view me as a human being? Why do I want to be with someone  who cannot and will not see that I have needs, thoughts, desires, and  dreams of my own? Why would I want to be with someone who won't lift a  finger to meet the same? Why would I want to do that, huh? I can't think  of a good reason to...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three, when a woman hurls shaming  language at us, it says that her needs, her thoughts, her desires, and  her dreams matter more than ours. Did you ever think about that? In  effect, women are saying, "How DARE you not give us what we want-how  dare you!" When we try to tell them that there's nothing in it for us to  marry them, they try to shout us down with the shaming language; they  don't even have the decency to LISTEN to us and what we have to say! Did  you ever think about that, JD? Did you ever think that, when a woman  hurls her insults at us, she is in effect saying that our needs, our  wants, our desires, and our dreams as men do not matter? Isn't she  basically saying that, as long as she gets what she wants, then the hell  with us?! I think so. Why would I want to marry someone who won't even  acknowledge the fact that I'm a human being? Why would I want to be with  someone who won't even acknowledge my humanity? Why would I want to be  with someone who won't even acknowledge, let alone meet, my needs and  desires? Why would I want to be with someone who's going to browbeat me  about meeting her wants, but totally ignore mine?! If she wants money  for her shoe collection, why that's all right; but, if a man wants to  buy the motorcycle he always wanted, then that's bad. How dare I get  something that I want! How dare I pursue my dreams! His mission in life  is to serve her, to be her slave. Why would I sign up for that? Women's  attitudes towards us really disgusts me! I think it's fair to say that  the vast majority of them hate us as men. Sorry, but that's how I see  it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No my man, when a woman hurls shaming language at us, she's  revealing a lot about herself; she's revealing things she doesn't intend  to, but she's revealing a lot nonetheless. She's revealing that she  couldn't be bothered to consider that we're human beings; nor can she be  bothered to consider that, as such, we have thoughts, desires, needs,  and dreams of our own. She can't be bothered with even thinking about  them, let along trying to satisfy them. Why, it would be a crime against  The Sisterhood to be nice to her man! She can't do that, man! Why,  she'll be promoting patriarchal oppression if she does that! When a  woman hurls shaming language at us, she's in effect saying that we're  subhuman turds who do not matter. Since that's the case, I'm better off  without a woman in my life. Women have no idea how counterproductive  shaming language is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div&gt;&lt;img height="1" src="http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/33850719-578188421815965144?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="entry-actions"&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;span class="item-plusone" id="___plusone_1021" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border-style: none; display: inline-block; float: none; font-size: 1px; height: 15px; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; text-indent: 0pt; vertical-align: baseline; width: 70px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;span class="email"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-5161417454000384525?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/5161417454000384525/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=5161417454000384525' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/5161417454000384525'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/5161417454000384525'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-women-reveal-about-themselves-via.html' title='What Women Reveal about Themselves Via Shaming Language'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-4622711503252999781</id><published>2012-01-09T16:42:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-09T16:42:00.309-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Woman Unwilling to Accept Responsibility for Her Actions</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avenging Sword had this video in mind when he posted a link  to a Dutch police stop on Mancoat.  The link didn't work, so I did a  search myself; since everything mentioned in that thread happens in the  video, I think it's the right one.  Anyway, it's a video of a Dutch  chick going HYSTERICAL during a police stop-just another example of  women throwing a fit when they get called on their bullshit.  Is it any  WONDER why women weren't allowed to have rights?  Is it any wonder?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and don't be the chump, er boyfriend, for some bitch; don't pay her fines; don't be a femnnabler!   Don't enable women's bad behavior, please.  If a woman you know gets  in trouble, let her suffer the CONSEQUENCES!  She's a strong,  independent, empowered woman, right?  She can do anything a man can do,  and do it better, can she not?  Let's give women every opportunity to  put their money where their mouths are, Fellas.  Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="425" height="246" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Vih8YqnEHQ0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note how restrained the cops are; note how professionally they dealt with the situation-a far cry from our Blue Gun Thugs. That said, if anyone deserved to be tased, it was this stupid bitch and her boyfriend. Yeah, her mangina boyfriend gets in on the act, and he almost gets arrested himself-stupid idiot! Guys, we have got to stop HELPING WOMEN OUT; we have got to stop being femnablers! Women wanted equality, so we ought to give it to them; give it all to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said above, it's no mystery to me why women weren't allowed to vote, or why their other rights were curtailed. They simply aren't capable or mature enough of EXERCISING THEM. Before you can have rights, you must possess the ability to exercise those rights. Women, as demonstrated in this video, cannot do that. I also understand why Muslims keep their women on a tight leash-because they'll run wild if they aren't. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's a whole bunch of them worth, hmmm? After all, a motion picture is just a bunch of pics flashed in rapid succession. This video says it all, doesn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and before I close, let me point out something in the video. The video has English subtitles. At one point, they say that "the woman is talking bollocks". Do women talk any other way? When do they NOT "talk bollocks"?

I found the essay I was looking  for-yes!  This is good stuff, stuff that needs to be shared with my  readers.  Enjoy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Harrasment laws:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Intent:  To legislate etiquette rather than leave such behaviors up to culture  and wait for them to work themselves out in an orderly fashion. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Methods:  change the laws, and definitions of “harassment” with an eye on some  arbitrary goal of reduction. In other words, tally the number of  “incidents” and if its too high, keep expanding till you can scoop up  the fish. Change the standard from reasonable person / reasonable woman,  to victims standard. This means that whatever a nutcase thinks is the  problem, that’s the problem, regardless if others in the community feel  the same way. in this women were made “change agents”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;a womans accusation was, and became equivalent to, truth&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Desired  outcome: that women who were fearful (far from the majority), and  helpless socially (far from the majority), and more, would then have a  “safe” environment that even granny could come to work and not feel  threatened by the testosterone atmosphere. That when this offensiveness  is removed, what will be left is a angel bright, strawberry shortcake  clean world of friends and help meets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Actual  Outcome: given that the limitation was the victim, any nutcase could  snag any guy. Given the presumption of guilt on one side and the  presumption of innocence on the other, reverse &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;  was ignored. Women in power quickly learned that unless their actions  were extreme and singled out one person, they could draconically assign  things and pocket men at will. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Given  that there is no defense from the imaginations of a “victim”, the men  endeavored to find ways to protect themselves from LIABILITY. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The  really funny thing about it all is that the solution is direct from  sibling rivalry. What happens when one child gets favored over another  child unduly? What happens when one is believed and the other not  believed? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Well, shows  you how well women can raise kids too when they make a playground of  the work place. what you have is the girls in the sandbox can tattle at  will and be believed. The boys have no recourse. So what happens? Well,  once in a while a boy will go postal and feel the punishment is worth  all the get backs (in adults its murder suicide, in kids its dumping  sand on her head). Some will become subjugated to the will to avoid  problems and garner adult accolades (mangina’s in adult life, who have  no will to play their own games in life, but make womens games and  desires their own. Empty people). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;But the vast majority will segregate. They will, like spanky and the rest, create the he man women haters club.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Rather  than invite the ones with some unbalancing force into their midst, they  will link up to create an opposition force. This force may even have  other women in it that feel differently as to the situation, or in their  real fairness were punished. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So  the men, and the few women, link up and in passive aggressive means  they work to undo and get rid of the opposition. This is why a woman  that makes an allegation ends up living in a SOCIAL atmosphere that is  even less tolerable. Her actions don’t just jeopardize or correct the  issue at hands; it’s a nuclear weapon for a fly swatter that decimates  the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;office&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt; for several years afterwards. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So  now you have the outcome of never intended results. That women are hurt  more and more by twiddling with things than the pain they get from  leaving them alone. They refuse to look back to who told them the pain  would be resolved by the misery. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Game  theory says that the safest play is to not participate at work any  more. period. if the allegations start from a belief and can be  supported by the unique belief of an individual, then there is no appeal  to the greater mass of reasonable people. The individual becomes your  largest liability, and so you avoid them. you avoid all interpersonal  contact that is not work related.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;In  order to do this you have to foster an atmosphere of paranoia. What  would be considered paranoia years ago become the defacto norm. taping  conversations for future reference, taping meetings for proof of  innocence (since this type of conflict is guilty till proven innocent). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;And just like in patent  law, you avoid with prejudice the one situation that allows someone to do something. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Opportunity&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;American  companies will not open up envelopes of product ideas so that their  labs don’t create the opportunity for a connection that can lead to a  law suit for duplicate work. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Well,  this is the natural outcome. Don’t want to pay $100 for a diner date?  Then don’t go to dinner! Want to avoid death in a horrible incident,  then be someplace else. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;If  you and I have no interaction, then there can be no misconstrued  contact. Without misconstrued contact, or construed contact, there can  be no incident and no bad outcome for the man. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The  asymmetry of the situation creates an asymmetry in strategies. The  women, who have always found work to be a good fishing ground for mates  have now found their source dried up. (lesbians tactics win again… how  many will turn to women to get their needs filled?). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;If  you go to wall street this is very evident. The hottest secretaries in  the world work wall street. They also have the most chance at the one  thing that they need to make or find a mate, and that’s opportunity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;But wait. Opportunity to meet is opportunity to be taken advantage of. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;men  are a lot more keen on risk assessment than women. they split the risk  hairs closer to the margins. Women like a margin of safety larger than  men do, and so men need to be better at assessment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Risk assessment is easy to understand, an art in practice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Basically  you assess the outcomes and the prospective risks with the payoffs and  losses involved. it’s a total fudge in the real world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;If  you look at the landscape of relationships at work, the men really gain  no advantage by participating. In fact in the past it was considered  risky, but that risk was balanced by the rewards. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Today, that risk is no longer balanced by any reward. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Even if the relationship works out in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;office&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;,  a third jealous party can be offended by it happening and sue that she  was harassed by the others actions that created a hostile environment  where their collusion was an advantage over her single position. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The main thing is that the definition has been expanded to the point where two people who have no power connection can commit &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt; in a single incident based on arbitrary content and attribution of meanings. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Go look up harassment….   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;xhttp://www.nursingworld.org/dlwa/wpr/wp3.htm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt; Despite recent attention, &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt; -- defined as offensive, unwanted &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt;  attention -- remains one of the most persistent problems in the  workplace. Nurses are not immune to this insidious form of sex  discrimination. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;  &lt;span&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt;  need not come from a supervisor, but could be from a coworker or other  person who you encounter at work (physician, patient, salesperson). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So a nurse can file a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;  suit if a patient tells off color jokes when nervous. Would you think  that that would make hospital administrators favor male nurses as safer  liaisons with the public? (nope, cause then they are worried about the  male nurse harassing the female patients – lesbians get a free ticket to  the show!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Here is  an example of the new load of concerns that a corporate owner has to  worry about because he is the government’s agent in mediating  interpersonal relationships and problems. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;We are no longer fit to handle such things ourselves.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;http://www.fels.org/news/news9604.htm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;reading  the above you realize that draconian response is the safest course for a  company as they are penalized for less if the accusation is later found  to be warranted, and they are no punished for such action in the case  of application to innocent people. This means that its safer to kill all  the dogs in case of rabies because we only get punished for successful  cases of rabies, not for killing dogs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;  5. Interview the parties and witnesses: This is most crucial part of  the investigation. Here are some tips on interviewing the parties and  witnesses: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Reading  the article you will notice that a manager is now supposed to be an  interrogator with no knowledge of doing so. the other thing you find out  is that at any time a large portion of work productivity can be sucked  away by endless investigations and constantly putting out fires. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;This legislation makes the craziest bitch the most powerful. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;  Keep The Parties Apart: If it is possible to do so, modify the work  while the investigation is in process so the accused is not in direct  contact with the accuser. But don't modify the work of the accuser if it  could be interpreted as retaliatory. Talk with the accuser before  making a change, asking him or her for suggestions on how best to  reasonably accommodate his or her work duties during the investigation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Assume the accused is telling the truth and act on such to the assumed guilty party. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;  Sort Out The Facts: This is the hardest part of the investigation. When  discrepancies exist between the statements, conduct a second round of  interviews. In the final analysis, ask these types of questions: . &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;While  keeping things completely secret have many rounds of investigations  that call people away from their work for hours on end until all the  stories match. If not, then what? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Well, then you have to use the facts around the information to make a choice, right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;  C. Does your "gut" instinct tell you who is telling the truth? Do the  facts support your "gut" instinct? And do the parties' past histories  (work records, prior disciplinary incidents, performance problems)  support it? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Ah, yes…  so a female manager will have a different gut reaction than a male… (but  here will be womens intuition, a more powerful version of GUT than men  have installed). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;And if regular work relations are not bad enough. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;xhttp://life.familyeducation.com/page/40386.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;can anyone say, third job? Overseeing the artificial mother&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt; Claims of &lt;span&gt;Sexual&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;Harassment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To keep safe from a charge of &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt;  by the nanny, take great care to maintain your relationship with her on  a professional level. Sometimes, especially with a live-in nanny or a  working relationship in which the nanny is considered one of the family,  the line between familiarity and impropriety can be a bit blurry.&lt;br /&gt;In general, the federal laws that prohibit &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt;  apply only to employers with at least 15 employees; therefore, they  will not apply to a nanny situation. However, some states have human  rights laws of their own that make essentially all employers liable for  harassing conduct of a &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt; nature. Examples of conduct that may amount to &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt; include: overt &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt;  advances; obscene comments; language or jokes (verbal or writ¬ten);  unwanted physical contact, such as grabbing, rubbing against, or other  touching; personal questions of a &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt; nature; and, the display of obscene or pornographic material in the work area of the employee.&lt;br /&gt;State laws against &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt; usually also prohibit retaliation by an employer if the employee reports &lt;span&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt; to the proper state agency. Typical penalties for a finding of liability for &lt;span&gt;sexual&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt;  are fines, restitution for lost wages or benefits, reinstatement if the  employee has been wrongfully terminated, and punitive damages. The safe  course of action, if you have any doubt, is to completely avoid the  above types of behavior around the nanny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So  upon hiring a nanny, ones verbal life is curtailed at home!!! Yes, its  true… the hiring of an outside person puts a lock on your freedoms to  associate, to speak, and to act in your own home. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Bottom line… they have made it a liability to hire women. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hire a woman and you may have to pay salary for someone who isn’t working (maternity leave)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hire a woman and you may have to field &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;harassment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt; programs and point people, and lawyer costs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hire a woman and you will have to allow her to be paid in full during her breast feedings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hire a woman and you will have to allow her to dress as disruptively as she wants without any recourse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hire a woman and it becomes dangerous to get rid of her the nuttier she turns out to be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hire a woman and she will link up with other nuts and increase the legal load and outcome liability&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;And more…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Like…. Do anything to mitigate this risk, and suffer punishment too…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;No wonder offshoring is appealing on many levels.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;you want to see destruction due to feminism? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;xhttp://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w060911&amp;amp;s=cottle092506&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;THE ABSURDITY OF REGULATING MODELS' WEIGHT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Model Behavior&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;by Michelle Cottle  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;all  it Revenge of the Carb Lovers. While much of the Middle East continues  to devour itself, the hot controversy to come out of the West this week  is Madrid's decision to ban super-skinny models from its fashion week,  the Pasarela Cibeles, which begins on September 18th. Responding to  complaints from women's groups and health associations about the  negative impact of emaciated models on the body image of young women,  the Madrid regional government, which sponsors the Pasarela Cibeles,  demanded that the show's organizers go with fuller-figured gals,  asserting that the industry has a responsibility to portray healthy body  images. As Concha Guerra, the deputy finance minister for the regional  administration, eloquently put it, "Fashion is a mirror and many  teenagers imitate what they see on the catwalk." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Activists'  concerns are easy to understand. With ultra-thinness all the rage on  the catwalk, your average model is about 5' 9" and 110 pounds. But  henceforth, following the body mass index standard set by Madrid, a 5'  9" model must weigh at least 123 pounds. (To ensure there's no cheating,  physicians will be on site to examine anyone looking suspiciously  svelte.) Intrigued by the move, other venues are considering similar  restrictions--notably the city of Milan, whose annual show is  considerably more prestigious than Madrid's. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Modeling  agencies, meanwhile, are decidedly unamused. Cathy Gould of New York's  Elite agency publicly denounced the ban as an attempt to scapegoat the  fashion world for eatings disorders--not to mention as gross  discrimination against both "the freedom of the designer" and  "gazelle-like" models. (Yeah, I laughed, too.) Pro-ban activists  acknowledge that many designers and models will attempt to flout the new  rules. But in that case, declared Carmen Gonzalez of Spain's  Association in Defense of Attention for Anorexia and Bulimia, "the next  step is to seek legislation, just like with tobacco." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;hoa,  there, Carmen. I dislike catwalk freaks--pardon me, I mean  human-gazelle hybrids--as much as the next normal woman. But surely most  governments have better things to do than pass laws about what  constitutes an acceptable butt size. Yes, without the coiffed tresses  and acres of eyeliner, many models could be mistaken for those Third  World kids that ex-celebs like Sally Struthers are always collecting  money to feed. But that, ultimately, is their business. These women are  paid to be models--not role models. The fashion world, no matter how  unhealthy, is not Big Tobacco. (Though, come to think of it, Donatella  Versace does bear a disturbing resemblance to Joe Camel.) And, with all  due respect to the Madrid regional government, it is not the job of the  industry to promote a healthy body image. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Indeed,  there seems to be increasing confusion about what it is the  "responsibility" of private industry to do. It is, for example, not the  business of McDonald's to promote heart healthiness or slim waistlines.  The company's central mission is, in fact, to sell enough fast, cheap,  convenient eats to keep its stockholders rolling in dough. If this means  loading up the food with salt and grease--because, as a chef friend  once put it, "fat is flavor"--then that's what they're gonna do.  Likewise, the fashion industry's goal has never been to make women feel  good about themselves. (Stoking insecurity about consumers'  stylishness--or lack thereof--is what the biz is all about.) Rather, the  fashion industry's raison d'être is to sell glamour--to dazzle women  with fantastical standards of beauty that, whether we're talking about a  malnourished model or a $10,000 pair of gauchos, are, by design, far  beyond the reach of regular people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;This  is not to suggest that companies should be able to do whatever they  like in the name of maximizing profits. False advertising, for instance,  is a no-no. But long ago we decided that manufacturing and marketing  products that could pose a significant risk to consumers' personal  health and well-being--guns, booze, motorcycles, Ann Coulter--was okay  so long as the dangers were fairly obvious (which is one reason Big  Tobacco's secretly manipulating the nicotine levels in cigarettes to  make them more addictive--not to mention lying about their health  risks--was such bad form). The notion that the fashion industry should  endure government meddling because its products or marketing techniques  may pose an indirect risk to consumers by promoting an unhealthy desire  for thinness seems dubious at best. More often than not, in the  recognized trade-off between safety and freedom of choice, consumers  tend to go with Option B. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Of  course, whenever the issue of personal choice comes up, advocates of  regulation typically point to the damage being done to impressionable  young people. Be it consuming alcohol, overeating, smoking, watching  violent movies, having anything other than straight, married, strictly  procreation-aimed sex--whenever something is happening that certain  people don't like, the first response is to decry the damage being done  to our kids and start exploring legislative/regulatory remedies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;ut  here, again, the fashion industry's admittedly troubling affinity for  women built like little boys doesn't seem to clear the hurdle for  intervention. It was one thing for R.J. Reynolds to specifically target  teens with its cigarette advertising. And, while I disagree with the  attempts to make the war on fat the next war on smoking (for more on  why, see here and here), you could at least make a similar argument that  junk-food peddlers use kid-targeted advertising to sell youngsters  everything from cupcakes to soda to french fries. But there's a  difference between industries that specifically go after young consumers  and those that happen to catch their eye--like, say, the fashion  industry or Hollywood. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So  let's give all those chain-smoking, Evian-guzzling, "gazelle-like"  human-coatracks a break. In another couple of years, their metabolisms  will slow down or they'll accidentally ingest some real food, and  they'll be unceremoniously tossed off the catwalk like a bad pantsuit.  Until then, in the name of personal choice, they should be allowed to  strut their stuff--no matter how hideously skinny they are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good stuff, wouldn't you agree?

Mr. Paul’s piece speaks about many issues  facing Americans today. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am a 51-year-old woman. I have been married to the same man since 1976.  I am the secretary/office manager for a small legal firm in the D.C.  suburbs. My husband manages a wine and spirits store. I have two sons,  aged 26 and 22. After realizing it wasn’t possible to support themselves  and the government at the same time, both returned to the nuclear nest.  Along with most people in my economic situation, I believe I am living  what is supposed to be the American dream. I know why I am an angry  American. I am frightened because America isn’t the same country it was  when I was my children’s age. Allow me to share with you some of the  reasons why I am an angry American.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry because my government has been taken over by liars, thieves,  thugs, deviants, and micromanagers. The propaganda it produces rivals  that of the most fascist dictatorship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that my government perceives my intelligence to be that of a  jar of pickles incapable of making the smallest decision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that my government takes it upon itself to shove its clucking  nose into my pantry, medicine chest, bedroom, family room, doctor’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;office&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;, workplace, and everywhere else it thinks I need guidance to keep me safe from myself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that the will of the American people is ignored on every issue  imaginable. If voting really mattered, it would have been outlawed long  ago. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that I am called a conspiracy theorist because I dare to think on my own and question authority and its lies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that the more I read about 9-11 the more it looks like an  inside job that was allowed to happen, enabling the Patriot Act to be  conveniently enacted into law with the ensuing "war on terrah" following  closely on its heels. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that the evil puppets in power think laws are created for the  peon masses and it is their right to ignore the ones that get in the way  of their agenda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that the media has sold its soul to the evil forces running the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that my "leaders" have taken to calling my country the "homeland." It reeks of socialism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that my government has invaded yet another sovereign nation  and caused untold death and destruction based on a flimsy lie. I am  expected to believe that weapons of mass destruction threatened my  freedom and then I am told several years and billions of squandered  dollars later that a massive intelligence network got the wrong  information. A select group of businesses profit enormously from war.  When Bush announced his intention to save Iraq from itself and that its  oil would pay for the overthrow of Hussein, I laughed so hard I nearly  choked. I remember the instability in the Middle East during the 1970s  and the gas "shortages" that followed. I knew which direction gas prices  would go. How stupid does Mr. Bush and his cronies think I am?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that the world stands silently by while my government bombs  foreign lands with weapons containing depleted uranium and the news  magazines wonder on their front covers why lung cancer has increased  six-fold in the last year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that Americans accept as gospel the propaganda that is  routinely cranked out of the Washington lie machine. The lies become  more transparent and brazen with each passing year, yet the only thing  that seems to matter in living rooms across America is who will be the  next American Idol. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that I am punished with high energy and gas prices and the  resulting inflation because tree-hugging terrorists masquerading as  environmentalists have handcuffed my country’s ability to produce its  own energy. It would be easy to tell the Middle East what to do with  their oil if restrictions on exploration and production were lifted in  our own backyard. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that I am constantly admonished by minimalists for being a  greedy consumer because I live where I choose, drive the vehicle of my  choice, eat meat, and use tin foil to cover my leftovers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that my life doesn’t belong to me anymore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that I am required to obtain permission, fill out mandated  paperwork in quadruplicate, and obtain the correct license or permit for  just about everything imaginable. The tentacles of government are  strangling my freedom, choice, and privacy at an alarming rate. The  wrath of the machine is a constant threat should I dare do anything  without leaving a neon paper trail and of course ignorance of the law is  never an excuse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that property rights are a thing of the past thanks to court-approved eminent domain theft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that the Constitution is routinely declared irrelevant making  it easier for a fascist police state and new world order to take over. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that legislation is in the works that will require me to carry  "papers" to "prove" who I am. Another coming law I will ignore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that my right to own and carry a firearm is drastically regulated and restricted. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry every time I see a young person detained on the side of the  road while cops paw through their possessions looking for anything that  could enable them to be arrested and dragged through the criminal  justice system. This has become so commonplace it is now the accepted  norm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that  roadblocks are set up under the guise of keeping roads free of drunk  drivers. What has happened to my right to travel freely? Why am I  presumed guilty without probable cause? I am afraid to have a few drinks  when I go out to dinner for fear I will be pulled over and end up in  court-ordered drug rehabilitation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry when I read stories of Americans terrorized in airports and  treated like common criminals by government minions after they have paid  for the right to travel within a private system, yet pilots are blocked  from carrying firearms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that America has become a nation of busybodies. We are  constantly bombarded with messages to be on the lookout for terrorists  around every corner, report "suspicious activity," and rat on our  neighbor whenever the opportunity presents itself. Is this not how the  Nazis gained control of Germany and then most of Europe? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that the government requires me to sign a form every time I  purchase a prescription. Whose business is it that I choose to take a  thyroid medication, an antibiotic, a painkiller, an appetite  suppressant, or any other substance? Am I dying of cancer? Am I facing  debilitating chronic pain? Do I simply want to get HIGH? Heaven forbid  someone out there might get their hands on something that might make  them FEEL GOOD! No substance should be illegal or unobtainable. If a  person wishes to self-medicate, that is their right. The government  should not be in the business of criminalizing personal choices of any  kind as long as those choices don’t infringe on another’s rights. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that my government meddles in the lives of people all over the  world but looks the other way on the catastrophic issue of what to do  about the millions of illegals who have crashed the gates of this  nation. My country’s laws are ignored and mocked, yet I am told I must  accept with open arms those who are here illegally. My taxes are used to  educate their children in their native language. Hospitals are overrun  with indigent people seeking medical care. Untaxed dollars earned in the  underground economy are sent to the family back home while social  services here are stretched to the limit. I read job want ads stating if  you aren’t bilingual don’t bother to apply. What would happen to me if I  placed an ad that said don’t bother to apply if your English isn’t  understandable? Marches are conducted in my cities’ streets waving their  countries’ flags as they shamelessly demand their "rights." I am told  they deserve the same opportunities that brought my forefathers here. I  am scolded that it is un-American to ask why they are not sent home. I  am told that the term "illegal alien" offends them and that they prefer  to be called "undocumented workers" and that my economy would die  without them. I will happily pay more for fruits and vegetables if it  means enforcing sensible immigration laws. But immigration isn’t about  the cost of lettuce. It is another facet of an agenda that is bent on  changing the face of America. When America is no longer a wealthy  country of white European descent, it will be a place worse than  anything Orwell could have imagined. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that my country is the only nation on earth who declares that a  baby born on its soil is automatically an American citizen. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that the thugs that run my country don’t have the guts to declare English my nation’s official language. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that I have to search a package for English and push a button  on every telephone system and ATM machine to continue in English.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that Washington, D.C.’s Metro is now being pressured to  replace every station sign with bilingual verbiage to the tune of  millions of dollars. Are bilingual road signs going to be the next  mandated law of the land? I am currently forced to pay for voting  ballots printed in 15 different languages and my tax dollars pay for  interpreter services for people who are summoned to court for breaking  laws. If English is the international language of the world, why isn’t  it good enough to be the official language of the United States? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry when I am told I am a bigot when I thumb my nose at political correctness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry when I wonder whether an expressed belief or opinion could  land me in litigation if someone doesn’t like what I said and wants to  silence my voice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am angry that diversity and sensitivity training is being forced on people whose only crime is to dare to speak freely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am angry that the symbols, customs, and roots of my Judeo-Christian  country are being systematically outlawed because my culture offends  newcomers. When we freely choose to go somewhere, are we not accepting  the customs and cultures of that place? I am weary of being made to feel  guilty for being an American.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;And  finally, I am angry that after working my entire adult life, I don’t  see retirement in my life’s picture. My husband and I earn over a  hundred thousand dollars a year, but by the time we pay federal taxes,  state taxes, social security taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, excise  taxes, energy taxes, telecommunication taxes, savings taxes, fees,  permits, etc., there isn’t much left. But please don’t think that I mind  supporting every deadbeat and down-and-outer with his hand out for a  piece of my pie that I worked so hard for. I love supporting the world.  After all, it’s the American way, isn’t it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man, that's just how I feel, knowing that my hard earned money is going to support the lazy bums of society...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div&gt;&lt;img height="1" src="http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/33850719-6276877793278545220?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="entry-actions"&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;span class="item-plusone" id="___plusone_1017" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border-style: none; display: inline-block; float: none; font-size: 1px; height: 15px; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; text-indent: 0pt; vertical-align: baseline; width: 70px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;span class="email"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-3874804418528640792?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/3874804418528640792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=3874804418528640792' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/3874804418528640792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/3874804418528640792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/angry-american.html' title='An Angry American'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-2235437574858463570</id><published>2012-01-08T13:49:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T13:49:08.135-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Brad Is THE Man!</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I was sifting through artfldgr's posts in an effort to  find one he wrote about sexual harassment, I found this.  I still haven't found what  I'm looking for, but I found yet another gem to share with my readers.   This was an e-mail posted on Mancoat, and if THIS isn't typical of the  modern, DNA guzzling woman, I don't know what is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Brad, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It  would be difficult for me to be any more miserable right now, I feel  like the worst person ever. First, let me start by saying that I am  truly truly sorry, and I hate myself for hurting you. Of all the people  in the whole entire world, you were honestly the last person that I  would ever want to wrong in any way. There is no excuse at all or  anything that happened, so I won't even try other than to say all of us  had WAY too much to drink, and I did a stupid thing. I can handle you  being pissed at me, I absolutely deserve it, I can even handle the ugly  words that were exchanged between us, what I can't handle is thinking  that you see me as a different person. It is weird, I feel like I just  went through a horrible break up or something. The world looked funny  yesterday, I couldn't crack a smile if you paid me, there are songs I  can't listen to, and I just feel beyond crushed. I don't know if you  meant everything you said to me, and I am hoping that you didn't. I know  that I was wrong on many levels, but I am also hoping that this is  something that we can deal with. I know it sounds totally crazy and  stupid, but you have come to play such a significant role in my life, I  can't imagine my days without you. It is totally strange and weird to  say that, and you could say that my behaviour didn't reflect that, and  you would be correct. I hate feeling like you hate me, and I hate  feeling like all of your friends think I am a terrible person, because I  am not. I know there is nothing I can say or do to take back what  happened, but I just want you to know that fighting with you was just  about the worst thing I could have ever imagined. It was right up there  with one of the ugliest nights of my life, and I would give anything in  the world to rewind and fix it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am not sure if you will respond to this, part of me thinks that you  won't. If not today, then maybe some other time. Also, thanks for  getting my stuff together, although I think my sunglasses are still at  your house, if you could keep your eyes peeled for them that would be  great. I can't even focus or work today, I can't eat, I seriously feel  like it was an ugly break up, and I am hoping against hopes that it was  not that and you are not done with me. Please don't cut me off, I really  don't think I can handle that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I am so sorry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Elizabeth &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;RESPONSE: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Dear Elizabeth, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Thank  you for your concern.  I'll be sure to file it away under "L" for  "Long-winded diatribes from drunken whores I couldn't care less about". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;You  did a stupid thing huh?  No...doing long division and forgetting to  carry the one is "a stupid thing"; Mixing in a red sock with a load of  whites is "a stupid thing"; Blowing some guy in a bathroom for 45minutes  while I sit at the bar wondering if you're taking so long because you  ate too much bran that morning isn't as much a "Stupid thing" as it is  grounds for permanent removal from my social calendar. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;To  be honest, I'm not sure if it was more amusing that you went and  degraded yourself in a public toilet not once but twice in a 2 hour  span, or that you seemed to think that by saying "Well, I didn't F**k  him" somehow gave you a clean slate. So forgive me if I couldn't care  less if the world "looked funny" to you yesterday. Since your world  revolves around blow dryers, golden retrievers, Prada Bags and Jelly  Beans, I'm sure it must have been most unsettling to actually have to  consider someone else's feelings for 24 hours straight.  The good news  for you is that my friends &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;don't  think you're a terrible person, they just think you're the average run  of the mill cum-guzzling blond who commands about as much respect as  your average child porn collector.  I could be wrong but, it's pretty  hard to respect some B&amp;amp;T chick who comes out to spend the night at  my place even though she's seeing someone else in New jersey and winds  up tongue-bathing the taint of anyone who decides 30 minutes of droning  commentary on Colin Farrell's new haircut is worth putting up with for a  hand job in the men's room. The good thing about being a guy is that  when I eventually bump into the young lad who finger-blasted you on top  of a towel dispenser last saturday, we'll have a shot and laugh our  heads off about the time it happened. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;By  the way, for the amount of time you claim to spend in spin class you  really must be doing something wrong to sport the thunder thighs you do.  Watching you parade around my bedroom in a thong was a little like  watching sea lions mate.  Thought you might like to know. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;PS.  I BCC'd about 100 people on this email. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Talk to you never, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Brad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though  I can't hump 'em &amp;amp; dump 'em due to my morals (I actually think it's  WRONG to use someone, but that's just me-probably why I don't have  chicks), I can't blame guys who do.  If THIS is representative of the  modern woman (and I believe that it is), then they aren't GOOD for  anything else!  Then again, given their diseases, even that's debatable  anymore...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img height="1" src="http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/33850719-6479518674056716776?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-2235437574858463570?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/2235437574858463570/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=2235437574858463570' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/2235437574858463570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/2235437574858463570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/brad-is-man.html' title='Brad Is THE Man!'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-4669988383707433351</id><published>2012-01-08T13:31:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T13:34:47.669-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Ten Signs That Happy Women Populate Planet Earth</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was going through my old posts, I found this.&amp;nbsp; It's one of Marc Rudov's articles.&amp;nbsp; It lists the ten signs that happy women are on Earth.  As if  women could EVER be happy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff; font-size: 130%;"&gt;Ten Signs Happy Women Populate Planet Earth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   1. Divorce rate plummets to 10%; custody fights are relics of the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   2. Most women's magazines cease operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   3. Women publicly praise men and fatherhood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   4. Marriage rate increases to 90%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   5. Divorce courts treat men and women equally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   6. Unmarried pregnant women who unilaterally choose to give birth are solely responsible for supporting their children, ending paternity suits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   7. Men respect women and no longer wine &amp;amp; dine or objectify them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   8. Plastic surgery is a marginal industry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;   9. National Organization for Women (NOW), whose victimhood propaganda now falls on deaf ears, is extinct.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;  10.

To those of us who grew up in the 1970s and watched &lt;i&gt;This Week in the NFL&lt;/i&gt;, this will bring back memories of Pat Summerall and Tom Brooksheir showing us the previous week's football highlights.

It was the comment left by one of the readers.  Read it for yourselves...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;a href="" name="4905371621418309524" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;h3 style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Comment left on this Web site is a 'must-read': young men, especially, beware &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Yesterday,  my son was in court to change the date of his trial. He stood accused  of sexually assaulting his crazy ex girlfriend. His charges were  dismissed instead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;We  had hired the best lawyer in the city. We were about to sell our home to  pay for the trial. Thankfully we did not have to. We still owe  considerable money to the lawyer and we will gladly pay it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Our  frustration like everyone on this site is that this girl will get off  Scott free. My son passed a lie detector, the police and prosecution  also know that:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;1.she was stalking our son before the rape claim, calling us at all hours of the night and early am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;2.she once claimed she was pregnant by our son when that did not work was when she claimed rape&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;3.and she stalked him after the charge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;We  decided to record the 3:00am calls she made to our son after the  charges. In these calls she was providing my son with conditions /  ultimatums for her to drop the charges such as couples counseling, not  seeing any other women, no longer speaking to his parents - us, and  dropping some friends that she deemed unsuitable. Our lawyer called it  coercion. She even asked my son if he would still love her when it was  over. My son had to choke out yes to keep the crazy talking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Today  our family is just relieved this horror story is over. At the same time  we are very frustrated that we can do nothing about her actions and the  harm she caused our son as well as the serious potential harm of going  to jail and having a criminal record. By the way I am speaking Canadian  law.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I read this site, during the year and a half of our ordeal as a way of giving myself some hope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  am writing so perhaps others in similar situations will get hope from  our story. My advice is keep good records - every detail can be  important if you are dealing with a vindictive mentally ill female. And  take a lie detector test, maybe not valid in court but it helped us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guys,  have NOTHING-and I mean nothing-to do with American women!  This is  what you could be in for if you do.  It doesn't matter if only one in a  thousand women are like this.  It doesn't MATTER that the other 999  women are good; all it takes is the one psychobitch to ruin your life.   Do YOU want to take the chance that you have the one in a thousand who  can and will ruin your life?  I don't think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's something  else to consider: the vast majority of American women think that,  because you're a man, you're automatically a rapist; because you're a  man, you're guilty.  The vast majority of American women would blame  this young man for 'doing something wrong'.  Even though the court  dismissed the charges; even though the cops thought that the accuser was  full of it; even though he had her on TAPE trying to coerce him; most  American women would think that this young man was guilty of something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let  me put it another way: when the Duke lacrosse team was initially  charged, 80% of women surveyed thought that the boys were guilty!  Let  me repeat that: 80% of American women, even in the face of DNA evidence  to the contrary, still thought that 'the boys had done something'!  Why?   Because of "women's superior way of knowing", that's why!  An American  woman will hate, fear, and suspect you simply because you're a man.   She won't see a problem with false accusations; they don't happen often,  if at all, as far as she's concerned.  After all, Susan Brownmiller  told her so!  IOW, most American women would take the accuser's side  here.  Sorry Fellas, but that's the cold, hard truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want  to be MARRIED to someone like that, and have to depend on them to have  your back if you get falsely accused?  No way!  Your American wife will  not support you at all.  If anything, she'll accuse and blame you for  having 'done something'!  She'll take the accuser's side, not her  husband's!  Then, for good measure, she'll divorce you and leave you in  poverty for the rest of your life.  Do you REALLY want to marry someone  like that, Fellas?  I don't, because THAT is what you'll get if you  marry an American woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what to do?  Don't have ANY  UNNECESSARY DEALINGS WITH WOMEN!  I don't care if they're on fire; you  don't put it out.  I don't care if she's being raped; you don't step in  and help her.  I don't care if she's drowning; don't go in after her.  I  don't care if she needs help on the side of the road; let some other  schmuck be Sir Galahad.  Besides, women are strong, independent, and  empowered these days; they don't need no stinkin' man; let them save  themselves!  They've heaped hatred, scorn, and derision upon us men for  the last few decades, so let them rot...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't speak to women  first; speak only when spoken to.  Don't speak with them for any reason  other than conducting business; once business is concluded, end the  conversation.  Don't spend time with them, unless you want to be nagged,  bitched at, and dumped on-and that's BEFORE she concocts an accusation  to ruin your life.  Don't be alone with a modern woman; that goes  without saying! Being alone with a modern, American woman is begging for  trouble!  Don't have any unnecessary dealings with women.  Understand?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh,  and I wouldn't even use them for sex.  One, she might feel slighted  that you didn't call her the morning after, so she'll go running to the  cops saying that you raped her; once she does, you're toast!  Unlike  cops from years gone by, today's blue gun thugs are dumb, muscle bound,  wannabe Nazi lunkheads; they'll be only too happy to 'protect the damsel  in distress'.  What that means is you'll up the creek without a paddle,  pal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, let's call a spade a freakin' shovel here, shall  we?  Whatever you call it-sport sex, running game, or something  else-you're USING someone else for your physical pleasure.  You're using  the woman.  Well, MarkyMark, women are users, so I'm just going to use  them back.  Sorry, but two wrongs don't make a right; they never have,  and they never will. Furthermore, in my Bible, God says that vengeance  is His, and that HE will repay!  If someone needs to be punished, let  God deal with them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, even if she doesn't accuse you,  you have the matter of her diseases.  Goodness knows how many and what  kind of STDs your modern, empowered slut is carrying!  Modern women are a  petri dish of STDs and STIs; their vaginas would contain a "who's who"  amongst nasty, STDs!  Let me ask you a question: do YOU want warts on  your willy for the rest of your life?  Well, do you, punk?!  I didn't  think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that all women aren't the enemy, but it's best  to act under the assumption that they are until proven otherwise.  Even  when you think they're not, don't drop your guard totally.  Remember,  your modern, American woman, particularly if she's been 'college  educated', is steeped in DECADES of feminist propaganda.  Her default  mode of operation is to assume the worst about men; her default mode is  to go on the warpath against you for no reason at all.  Ergo, it's best  to assume that women are your enemies, and to govern yourself  accordingly.  I hate to say that, but reality dictates that I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's  not different than when I ride.  When I ride, I assume that EVERY  AUTOMOBILE DRIVER IS OUT TO KILL ME!  I assume that every 'cager' (a  derisive slang term motorcyclists have for car drivers, most of whom ARE  idiots, but that's another rant) is trying his or her best to take me  out.  Intellectually, I know that this isn't the case, but a sufficient  number of cagers do enough dangerous, stupid things to dictate my  paranoid view of them.  If I assume and act as if they're all out to get  me, they won't.  Treat women the same way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm out of here. Have a nice day, Fellas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div&gt;&lt;img height="1" src="http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/33850719-5490968406532595832?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-3921065513591313132?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/3921065513591313132/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=3921065513591313132' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/3921065513591313132'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/3921065513591313132'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/tale-of-false-accusation.html' title='A Tale of False Accusation'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-605643568653792699</id><published>2012-01-07T19:50:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-07T19:53:28.322-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Signs Your Woman Is Cheating</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was going through my old posts and backing them up, I accidentally clicked on a link which led me to this post, the &lt;a href="http://www.coreydonaldson.blogspot.com/2011/03/womens-infidelity-sure-signs.html" target="_blank"&gt;one you're about to read&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; It's a list of things women do if they're cheating.&amp;nbsp; This will also go into &lt;a href="http://mgtowsurvivalguide.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The MGTOW Survival Guide&lt;/a&gt;, as it's something men need to know.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy, Fellas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;If there is something a man cannot overcome in a relationship its humiliation.

A client discovered that his 10 Yr old twins were not his. Imagine the anguish. The humiliation!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only is that humiliating; not only is the man a genetic dead end (fathering kids that are NOT his); he's legally on the HOOK for those children!&amp;nbsp; Even if the man went into court, showed the judge DNA tests proving the kids aren't his, he'd still be liable for child support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;And get this, in the past two months I’ve already helped 7 men catch their wives red handed!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good on you, Mate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;Surveys  show that most men can go through a divorce or even remain apparently  happily married and never know their wife was sleeping with another man,  and sometimes men.&amp;nbsp; The existence of any four of these signs means you have some cause for profound concern.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;1.

She always seems to have random scratches and bruises.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;53. Sex toys show up that you have never known about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;54. Shuts the computer down when you walk in the room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;55. Lingerie shows up that you’ve never seen before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;56. She refuses to linger or cuddle after sex.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;57. She does not allow you to get to know her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;58. She thinks nothing of humiliating you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;59.     She is seduced by the forbidden and wrong in life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: cyan;"&gt;None of these signs are proof by itself. That’s where I come in.

While it is from her point of view, I wanted to rerun it here, and intersperse my thoughts about this as a man.  Here goes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;In  recent weeks, I have shared several interesting email and phone  conversations with several dear bloggy buddies on the subject of modesty  and these conversations inspired the bit of writing I am about to  share. My intention with this post is not to debate modesty standards,  but to share a glimpse into why &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt; have come to accept &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;my&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt; certain standards for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;myself&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt; and what exactly modesty means to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;me&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;. :o)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Modesty  is such a loaded word it seems, with many definitions and assertions  swirling around about how it looks or what it means. Living in one of  the most decadent and sex obsessed cultures the world has ever seen,  modesty is an especially interesting topic to me, both for discussion  and for living out as a religious conviction. All around me women parade  around in all sorts of undressed states and hardly an eyebrow is  raised, but once the hemlines start dropping and the necklines become  actual necklines rather than 'bust lines,' that's when the tempers begin  to flare and the questions will be asked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, if  there is one thing that REALLY PISSES ME OFF, it's hypocrisy!  I hate  it!  I hate it even more when those practising it do so with a straight  face and see nothing wrong with it!  Such is one of my common gripes  with modern women and feminists (really the same thing in 99.9999% of  cases).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These immodest, scantily clad women will bitch &amp;amp; moan  if you say anything about how they're dressed; don't you dare judge me!   That's their cry anyway.  However, when someone like Mrs. Amy  exercises HER right to dress in a more modest fashion, these same  hypocrites will give her grief for doing so!  WTF?!  They don't want  anyone saying anything to THEM about their dress (or lack thereof, I  should say), yet they'll turn around and give ladies like Mrs. Amy grief  for exercising her right to choose what she wears &amp;amp; when?!  Come  on!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Here in the West, we  believe women to be nothing more than objects to be put on display for  the enjoyment of the public's feasting eyes. We find the notion of a  Muslim woman &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXzUuKdfnRE&amp;amp;eurl=http://community.livejournal.com/muslims/613102.html&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded" style="color: #33ffff;" target="_blank"&gt;choosing to wear hijab&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;,  in accordance with her faith, to be a terrible abuse inflicted upon  herself, yet celebrate the gross unveiling of ourselves, in bikinis on  beaches, as we put what should be private on display for all to see.  Nothing is sacred here or held in the dignity that it really ought to  be. Flesh is exposed without a thought in the world. Sex is used to sell  everything. Hardly a soul thinks twice before divulging secrets that  should best be kept in the marital bedroom, solely between husband and  wife. We argue that this is our right and privilege, as if having the  legal right to choose our own clothing and topics of conversation  somehow makes it appropriate to drop our behavior down to the lowest  common denominator where no propriety or morality exists. Our culture is  in complete disarray when it comes to such a precious and delicate  possession are our dignity and modesty and I can't help but feel we are  all losing out because of this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what gets me?  This has to do with hypocrisy again.  If a woman were to strip down to  her bra &amp;amp; panties, then walk on the street, she'd get many looks,  and perhaps get into trouble as well.  However, the moment you take  those same undergarments, and paint them in a myriad of bright, flashy  colors, why that's okay!  The same women who wouldn't be caught dead  walking down the street in their bra &amp;amp; panties have no compunction  about doing so in a bikini-okaaaaaay. What is a bikini, other than a bra  &amp;amp; panties painted in bright, flashy colors?  Am I the only one who  sees the inconsistency here?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, there's the matter about how  feminists rail against the objectification of women.  "What about my  mind, you pig?" was a popular, feminist battle cry in years past.   However, these same feminists fought against modest, women's apparel,  and made it appear to be a crime against women.  Come again?!  It's The  Patriarchy's fault that women are abused by having to cover  up-waaaaahhhh!  It's abuse of women!  Let women bare all, then they'll  be empowered!  Uh, when you uncovered women and bared their wares, as it  were, you did precisely what you professed to be fighting against: you  objectified women-f*&amp;amp;#ing hypocrites!  Then again, what do we expect  from modern women &amp;amp; feminists?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;God  knitted together the bodies of us all, made in His image; fearfully and  wonderfully we are made. Our bodies have the power to run, to dance, to  jump for joy. We can sing songs of thanksgiving, kneel down to pray on  our knees, and clap our hands to the music. With our bodies is the power  to do great things and in our minds the ability to ponder many noble  ideas. Unique to the female form are a couple particularly splendid  powers: the ability to be partner with God in Creation as we grow new  life in our womb and nourish our babies with mama's milk and also the  power endowed in the female form to ignite a man's passion for us, which  is a great gift when this man is our husband, but very problematic when  he is a man with whom we have no such business sharing such things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's  because, when this beautiful gift is given to many men, the woman truly  belongs to no one.  When she has sex with many men, she bonds (thanks  to oxytocin) with many and belongs to no one.  She cannot become 'one  flesh' with her husband.  Is it any wonder why divorce has been  skyrocketing since the sexual revolution?  When a woman finally does  marry (after tens if not hundreds of sexual partners), she cannot bond  or become one with her husband.  She cannot give herself to him, because  she's given herself to every other Tom, Dick, and Harry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's  why modern women are such damaged goods.  You can see it in their faces  and especially their eyes.  One guy on Mancoat used a crude, yet  accurate expression to describe this: the thousand cock stare.  It used  to be that only career prostitutes had this look; now, it seems as if  the vast majority of women do, and they sport it at ever younger ages!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  remember how I was out riding last summer.  It was a nice, summer day,  so I took the long way home from work.  I cruised through College Hill,  which is in Easton, PA.  That's the neighborhood in and around Lafayette  College.  Anyway, I was crusing down the street when I noticed a party  going on at one of the houses.  I remember seeing a young woman in her  early 20s wearing a short, black dress like the ones you'd see at a  nightclub.  This woman, though she was beautiful, already had that look!   I have to tell you that not only was it sad; it took away from her  beauty.  Seeing her with that 'thousand cock stare' took away much, if  not all, of her allure for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Our  culture has a firm grasp on this last power and a clear understanding  of how to use this power very well. The gift that is female beauty is  twisted and perverted nearly everywhere you look. Here in America there  is hardly a place to escape the stares of lusty buxom babes on  billboards or even the well-lined lips of the Bratz baby dolls. We  tarnish the eyes of our children, tempt our young men already struggling  with lust as is, and taunt the idea of God ordained marital intimacy,  all to exploit His wonderful gift and sell, sell, sell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sex  is used to sell everything!  I remember how years ago, when Chevrolet  was doing its "Heartbeat of America" ad campaign, the first ad of the  series closed out.  It showed the silouhette of a guy and a gal in a  Corvette convertible, and there was subdued, sexy music playing in the  background.  The man puts a lip lock on the girl, the top goes up,  shielding the couple from view as the scene faded to black.  The not so  subtle message was this: guys, get yourself a Corvette, and things like  this will happen to you!  I could go on, since it seems almost every ad  targeted at men uses sex to sell the product; I won't, because I'll be  here till next month if I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;In  this upside down world, to object to such exploitation of sexual  expression and the female form gets you labeled as insecure,  unenlightened, and many less than flattering names. To object to the  undressing of women in some circles will now even get you branded as a  "misogynist" as it's apparently a woman's empowering right to be a  harlot, either in looks or behavior, and quite possibly both. Apparently  we ought to celebrate the freedom the Sexual Revolution, abortion on  demand, and the birth control pill have offered us, celebrating with joy  the removal of the shackles of decency &amp;amp; responsibility that were  once dreadfully placed upon the "fairer sex."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was  good is now evil; what was evil is now good.  I seem to remember a Bible  verse in which the Lord expressed His displeasure over such balderdash.   Ah, but God is just a tool of The Patriarchy to subdue  women-waaaaaahhhhh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I used to  wonder about modesty myself. "Why on earth would I want to oppress  myself in such ways?" I thought to myself, but then one day I woke up. I  realized that there was an alternative to tugging on my knee length  skirt I felt very uncomfortable in. Rather than pull on my hemline in  some desperate attempt to make my short skirt seem longer, I could &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;wear a longer skirt&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;  and so my journey into modest dress began. As I let go of the power I  had to entice men with whom I had no business trying to do so, the first  lessons of modesty's power were ones I learned with great surprise.  When I put on my shield of cloth, I suddenly had self-respect and the  freedom to move about without worrying that I couldn't move this way or  that way without some inappropriate flash of skin happening due to my  former clothing that was far too lacking in fabric. Slowly I began to  change, dressing with more fabric and comfort in mind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;People  treated me markedly different after I began to wear clothing becoming  of a young woman and I began to see the world in a strange new light, as  well. Gone were the days when I thought being comfortable in my skin  meant showing lots of skin and instead being able to let my character,  opinions, and ideas shine became my prime way of expressing myself. I  wasn't just my physical attributes any longer, defined solely by my  youthful body, but a person who had more to offer the world than just  mere outward beauty. I learned much about my dignity and worth as a  woman and a Child of God as my slavish need to follow the trends of my  culture subsided.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've noticed the same thing.  When I  dress up, people look at and treat me differently too vs. when I where  more casual clothes.  People DO perceive you differently, no question  about it.  I'd like to relate a humorous story at this point...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  used to go bicycling along the Jersey Shore.  When I did so, I wore my  helmet and a bright, orange safety vest.  After all, I wanted the idiot  vacationers to see me!  When the tourists were on vacation, their minds  were often on vacation as well, so I wore a vest that Ray Charles could  have seen.  Yeah, I wore a helmet, but that doesn't mean I wanted to USE  it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One night, I was out and about and these girls asked me for  directions.  I had to tell them that I wasn't from around there, and  that I couldn't help them.  They reacted with surprise; they thought  that I was a cop!  I told them that no, I wasn't a cop; I wasn't riding a  mountain bike (bike cops ride of choice), didn't have a radio, nor did I  have a badge or name tag.  Why did they think I was a cop?  Because I  was wearing the safety vest that cops often wear while directing  traffic, that's why!  Because an element of my attire was associated  with cops, I was presumed to be one myself.  Just goes to show you that  how we dress DOES influence others' perception of us...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Shortly  afterward, I became a wife and an exciting new aspect of modesty came  to be understood in my mind. This fact being that my beauty is my  husband's treasure, for his eyes only, not to be advertised and  exploited out in public for all to see. His adoring gaze is the only  such gaze I should enjoy, the only one that is godly and appropriate for  one who claims to follow God. Being my husband's wife was a wonderful  gift from God and not something I should be mistreating and abusing  simply because my culture finds such expressions to be acceptable and  many times celebrated. What's private should be kept private or else it  will lose its magic, its sparkle, and its specialness. The fires of  passion within marriage should be well-tended, not allowed to be blown  out to go looking for admiration elsewhere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fires that  aren't well tended have a nasty habit of becoming wildfires; wildfires  have a nasty habit of being very destructive...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Now,  quite a few years into my modesty journey, my standards of dress have  changed drastically from what they once were. My daily uniform consists  of long flowing skirts that hit my ankles, tights &amp;amp; socks that cover  my legs, and closed toe shoes that hide my feet. My long loose shirts  have necklines that show nothing beyond my neck, with sleeves that go  past my elbows, if not past my wrists. And my hair stays hidden under a  beautiful tichel, hat, or other such headgear each and every day. Only  those with whom I would share my deepest secrets, my greatest hopes, my  darkest moments are those I literally "let my hair down" with. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It's  interesting to witness people's reaction to my dress, especially those  who knew me before, those who have seen my hair and know what my natural  hair color is. There are a few who think I've lost my marbles, others  who have come to understand and even respect my choice, and those who  applaud my efforts to cover up in our sexed up world. The reactions from  strangers are also intriguing, with many questions asked of me on a  regular basis. The inevitable "What religion are you?" but others are  always leave me a bit taken aback. The assumptions that my husband must  be an evil tyrant type or that I am somehow teaching my daughter to be  ashamed of her femininity are among those. It's a sad time &amp;amp; place  to live in which submission to the Creator's will from as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:21&amp;amp;version=9" style="color: #33ffff;" target="_blank"&gt;far back as the Garden&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;, and self-respect is mistaken for oppression.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, it's only religious people who make an effort to dress modestly anymore.  That's why you get that question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  always answer the critics, with thoughtful answers expressed in  kindness and perhaps such conversations might even open a few minds,  particularly when it comes to our children. Far from being a danger to  my precious daughter, I find my choices for her wardrobe and mine to  protect us from the harmful exploitation society wants to force upon us.  It is my hope to impart to Peapod the knowledge that her body is  beautiful just as God made it, that lovemaking within the bounds of  marriage is a beautiful gift, and that for others to respect her, she  must first respect herself and the dignity God has given her. These are  the same lessons I would strive to teach to my son, if we were ever so  blessed. If a person wants to be respected, they need to be someone  worthy of such treatment, not one to indulge in questionable behavior or  to dishonor themselves or others with their choices. If a person makes  the choice to act in less than the best ways, they should not be shocked  that nobody thinks very highly of them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mrs. Amy, you  said something deep right here!  If a gal wants a prince, then she must  comport herself as a princess-duh!  One thing that pisses me off to no  end about modern women is that they want, demand, and expect to have  Prince Charming while forgetting that Prince Charming wants someone who  is a Princess!  Do they really think that Prince Charming wants some  bitter, angry, used up, disease ridden whore?  These chicks dress like  whores, then they turn around and cry about being TREATED like whores?!   Come on!  See my previous story about the bike vest, then come back and  talk to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that for me, as a guy, if I see a woman clad  in a nice, feminine, yet modest dress, then I'll view her as a lady,  because she's comported herself as one.  However, if I were to see her  in something provocative and slutty, I' NOT going to think of her as a  lady!  I'll think many things of her, but I won't view her as a lady,  nor will I be inclined to treat her like one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  want Peapod to know that she doesn't need to use her body to prove  anything to anybody, nor does she need to feel pressured to conform to  the vain &amp;amp; trivial pursuits of of our youth culture. Her mind, her  character &amp;amp; virtue, and her talents are what she should be offering  to the world and the areas on which the world can judge her by. Her  beauty, however, that is to be held in high regard and saved for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=song%20of%20solomon%202:7;&amp;amp;version=9;" style="color: #33ffff;" target="_blank"&gt;somebody special&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=proverbs%2031:12;&amp;amp;version=9;" style="color: #33ffff;" target="_blank"&gt;the man she will (God willing) marry one day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;.  She is worth more than being used and abused by someone who does not  truly care about her, just as we all are, regardless of what the norms  in modern day America might be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;So,  strange world I live in, call me backward, ashamed, and weak. I would  rather use the power my body has for the goodness my God had in mind. I  am not your property society at large, nor do I want to be a stumbling  block for the many religious men whom already struggle enough in our  world full of lusty temptations. Truly they do not need even one more  woman to add to the unfortunate mess. I am a daughter of the King, my  husband's wife, my child's mother, and a woman who sees her value and  worth simply in being who she is, and not just a pretty picture on which  you can all cast your eyes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man,  that's good stuff!  Too bad more women don't understand that; too bad  more women never, ever learn what this fine, young lady, Mrs. Amy, has  learned; they'll never, ever get it that, if you want Prince Charming,  you must first comport yourself as a Princess-duh!  One thing I often  wonder is why can ladies like Mrs. Amy figure out what should be  obvious, yet the vast majority of women never get this?  Why is that?   Either it's because Mrs. Amy is special and smarter than your average  chick (she is), or the vast majority of women are screwed in the head  and are incapable of figuring out this little thing called cause &amp;amp;  effect?

It turns out that one of our stalwarts there, Chrisvet, found &lt;a href="http://section15.ca/features/ideas/2005/03/07/eleven_tips/" target="_blank"&gt;this blast from the past&lt;/a&gt;!  It's a list of eleven tips for male managers supervising female  employees working for mass transit services. This is good stuff. Thank  you, Chrisvet! Now, on with this  EXCELLENT piece...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ideas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;eleven tips on getting more efficiency out of women employees&lt;br /&gt;by L.H. Sanders March 7, 2005&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;From  the July 1943 edition of Mass Transportation magazine, written for male  supervisors of women in the work force during World War Two.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;There’s  no longer any question whether transit companies should hire women for  jobs formerly held by men. The draft and manpower shortage has settled  that point. The important things now are to select the most efficient  women available and how to use them to the best advantage. Here are  eleven helpful tips on the subject from western properties:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;1)  If you can get them, pick young married women. They have these  advantages, according to the reports of western companies: they usually  have more of a sense of responsibility than do their unmarried sisters;  they’re less likely to be flirtatious; as a rule, they need the work or  they wouldn’t be doing it – maybe a sick husband or one who’s in the  army; they still have the pep and interest to work hard and to deal with  the public efficiently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back when married women kept the  home, they HAD to be efficient; they didn't have all the labor saving  devices that we take for granted today. In fact, when you view the  ladies' blogs (all of whom are homemakers themselves) to whom I link, a  recurring theme they have deals with time managment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;2)  When you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked  outside the home at some time in their lives. Most transportation  companies have found that older women who have never contacted the  public, have a hard time adapting themselves, are inclined to be  cantankerous and fussy. It’s always well to impress upon older women the  importance of friendliness and courtesy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a rather telling comment in more ways that one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;3)  While there are exceptions, of course, to this rule, general experience  indicates that “husky” girls – those who are just a little on the heavy  side – are likely to be more even-tempered and efficient than their  underweight sisters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;4)  Retain a physician to give each woman you hire a special physical  examination – one covering female conditions. This step not only  protects the property against the possibilities of lawsuit but also  reveals whether the employee-to-be has any female weaknesses which would  make her mentally or physically unfit for the job. Transit companies  that follow this practice report a surprising number of women turned  down for nervous disorders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And feminazis try selling us  on the BALDERDASH that men and women are the same-yeah, right! And I'd  like to know what this chap means by 'nervous disorders'-things that  make you go hmmmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;5) In  breaking in women who haven’t previously done outside work, stress at  the outset the importance of time – the fact that a minute or two lost  here and there makes serious inroads on schedules. Until this point is  gotten across, service is likely to be slowed up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women  always have to fuss over how they look; talk to friends; or otherwise  waste time when you need to leave RIGHT NOW! In fact, in the movie,  "Jersey Girl", opens with Ben Affleck &amp;amp; J Lo (who were a married  couple in the movie) arguing because he has to get to an important,  company party while she is fussing at the mirror and acting like a brat!  I think that she was supposed to be pregnant at the time, but she still  had NO RESPECT for the importance of her husband's time at all-none! If  a chick pulls that crap with me, I just kick her to the curb. I have NO  PATIENCE WHATSOEVER for late people. It seems that most of them are  women now that I think about it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;6)  Give the female employe in garage or office a definite day-long  schedule of duties so that she’ll keep busy without bothering the  management for instructions every few minutes. Numerous properties say  that women make excellent workers when they have their jobs cut out for  them but that they lack initiative in finding work themselves. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There  it is! Women do NOT have initiative that I've noticed. Ever wonder why  there's a dearth of female inventors? It's because they don't have the  same intiative, drive, and curiosity that a man does. It's not because  she was oppressed by the big, bad Patriarchy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;7)  Whenever possible, let the inside employe change from one job to  another at some time during the day. Women are inclined to be nervous  and they're happier with change.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;8)  Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day.  Companies that are already using large numbers of women stress the fact  that you have to make some allowances for feminine psychology. A girl  has more confidence and consequently is more efficient if she can keep  her hair tidied, apply fresh lipstick and wash her hands several times a  day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it with women and their vanity?! What's even  worse are the metrosexual guys who are like that-sheesh! One of the  things I like about being a man is that life is simple for me; from  start to finish, it only takes me about 20-30 minutes to get ready to go  somewhere-and that's if I shower &amp;amp; shave! With women, you're  talking HOURS...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;9) Be  tactful in issuing instructions or in making criticisms. Women are often  sensitive; they can’t shrug off harsh words the way that men do. Never  ridicule a woman – it breaks her spirit and cuts her efficiency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women  are often sensitive? Try ALWAYS sensitive-sheesh! Even if you use the  wrong tone of voice with a chick, she'll have a hissy fit! Things that a  guy wouldn't bat an eye at make chicks go ballistic! One of the things I  don't miss about working with women is their hyper sensitivity to  anything and everything. Now, thanks to feminist indoctrination, it's  even worse; what's more, these women can and will ruin your life-all  because you looked at them the wrong way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;10)  Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women.  Even though a girl’s husband or father may swear vociferously, she’ll  grow to dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If  women still acted like ladies as they did when this was originally  written, I'd have no problem with this. Nowadays though, women are even  MORE profane than men are! And I thought that drunken sailors talked  badly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;11) Get enough size  variety in operator uniforms that each girl can have a proper fit. This  point can’t be stressed too strongly as a means of keeping women happy,  according to western properties. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we go with women and their vanity again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;This feature was first published on section15.ca’s predecessor site &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://section15.ca/about/#coolwomen" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;CoolWomen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;------------------------&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was  that good stuff or what? I thought so! Thanks again to Chrisvet for  finding this excellent piece. Man, if that were published today, oy vey!  Heads would ROLL for this! OMG, they're dissing women-waaaaahhhhh!  They're saying that women are different-waaahhhh! Off with the man's  head! How DARE he oppress women like this! Thanks to feminazis and their  politically corect, fascist allies, we no longer have the freedom of  speech to call a spade a freakin' shovel. Oh well, that's why you have  me! Have a nice day, and it's good to be back-even if it's not @ 100%  yet...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-7114186738112758412?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/7114186738112758412/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=7114186738112758412' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/7114186738112758412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/7114186738112758412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/blast-from-past.html' title='A Blast from the Past'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-7697535942553737294</id><published>2012-01-06T22:04:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T22:04:00.330-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Controlling Lust: Part IV</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is &lt;a href="http://faithandsociety.wordpress.com/2005/08/23/controlling-lust-a-declaration-of-sexual-independence-from-women-part-4/" target="_blank"&gt;the final part&lt;/a&gt; of the "Controlling Lust" series. Man, this stuff is golden! This is the kind of thing we ought to be taught by our parents, or learn in school and/or church. This is far better and far more useful than anything you'll find in the Lamestream Media, that's for sure...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arousal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;So far, we have covered techniques for controlling lust which deal with the object of desire. We learned how we, as men, can keep ourselves from throwing more gasoline on the flame of passion. With the following strategies, we can control the general feelings of sexual arousal that may come on us suddenly and unexpectedly. Remember, we want to attack lust on both fronts. In addition to stopping ourselves from throwing gasoline on the fire, we want to put the fire itself out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conquer Fear&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;If a man wants to control his sexuality, the primary obstacle he must overcome is fear. Perish the thought that you cannot control yourself! Don’t think that God gives you desires against your will. Forget the idea you will inevitably harm yourself if you don’t relieve your sexual tension. All these notions are false! When you are aroused, you should remind yourself that the arousal will eventually subside. If you persist, you can gain the ability to shut off your arousal at will.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Also, stop listening to people around you that say you are missing out on life if you don’t get lucky in love. Don’t listen to people who think your manhood depends on scoring with women. These people cannot discern the difference between bravery and stupidity. These people may talk a good talk about “being a man” and “taking risks” but these are the same ones that get skewered alive in the end. In actuality, they are often afraid of being alone and end up jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Keep these people from driving you insane: take the steering wheel away from them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Channeling the Tension&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;How can you, as a man, regain control of yourself if you find that you are sexually aroused? Simple. Close your eyes, clear your mind of troublesome thoughts, and take several deep breaths. Imagine the sexual tension moving away from your reproductive organs and the power of the tension dissipating throughout the rest of your body. If thinking about this draws your mind back towards sex, however, then just focus on closing your eyes and breathing deeply. Assure yourself that you are the master of your body. After all, you are a man with free will, not a male bovine. As the physical tension subsides, you may notice that you feel more energized. However, it may be just as likely that you will feel totally relaxed with your mind uncluttered by sexual desires. It can indeed be exhilirating as you realize that you are no longer a pawn of female sexuality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Get Out of Bed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;You will find that there are certain circumstances that leave you vulnerable to feelings of arousal. Make it easy on yourself by avoiding these circumstances if possible. For instance, you may find that you are often aroused while lying in bed. Perhaps in such a moment of idleness, thoughts of sex come too easily to you. Get out of bed, channel the tension until it subsides, and only return to bed when you are tired enough to fall asleep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;More generally, make sure to preoccupy yourself with your responsibilities and things that you like to do. Never allow yourself to get bored. You owe it to yourself to live a proactive and productive life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Get Mad&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;In addition to the above techniques, it is helpful to think about the costs of giving in to your desires. Think about the shame, sadness, and sense of disappointment you will feel if you turn your back on your goal for self-control. You should see any unwanted arousal on your part as not as a nice feeling, but as a competitor or even an adversary. It is an impediment to your goal for greater male self-esteem and for a greater sense of dignity. Use your indignation at being a slave of female sexuality to give you focus and power in this matter.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;As we can see, by dealing with the object of desire and with the general feeling of arousal, you, as a man, can control your lust. From time to time, sexual arousal may be a minor nuisance, but ideally it will not overcome you as it has probably often done in the past. You will feel no compelling necessity to invest time or money for female companionship unless it benefits you in some meaningful fashion. You can take or leave women, and you just might decide to leave them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;As you practice self-control, remember the old adage: “If at first you don’t succed, try, try again.” Also, remember that when you give in to your desires, you are still making a choice. The choice can be an informed one or it can be based on delusional thinking. It’s up to you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;How will others react to this plan for controlling lust? Who cares. Social conservatives have browbeaten us men for so long, demanding that we be chaste and self-controlled. Social liberals plaintively demand that we stop sexually objectifying women and/or stop basing our manhood on sexual conquest. Perhaps, it is time to give these people and so many others a taste of their own medicine. Men do not necessarily have to rely on the help of other people to achieve their goal of sexual self-control. Men do not even have to be religious to understand the value of learning continence. Rather than being beggars whining for a scrap of bread, men can control their hunger and therefore set terms for when they want to eat. Indeed, when it comes to sexual self-control, men can turn their back on the overpriced delicacies that society shoves in their face and go their own way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, Fellas, thanks to the wisdom that Faith &amp;amp; Society left up for us, we now have the tools to CONTROL our sexual appetites; we now have what we need to take away a woman's "nuclear option"-yes! We have the tools to be real men, and control ourselves. Thank you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-7697535942553737294?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/7697535942553737294/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=7697535942553737294' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/7697535942553737294'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/7697535942553737294'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/controlling-lust-part-iv.html' title='Controlling Lust: Part IV'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-8682485906608190534</id><published>2012-01-04T22:05:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-04T22:05:00.267-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Controlling Lust: Part III</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://faithandsociety.wordpress.com/2005/08/12/controlling-lust-a-declaration-of-sexual-independence-from-women-part-3/" target="_blank"&gt;Here's Part III&lt;/a&gt; of F&amp;amp;S's "Controlling Lust" series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dealing with Beautiful Women in General&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Now that we understand the components of lust, let us turn our attention to some techniques a man can use to defuse his lust and reassert control over his own desires. The following techniques deal with the object of desire, the beautiful woman that comes into our presence either physically or mentally. The underlying approach is to place the object of desire in a harsher light than to which we are accustomed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Cold Eye&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The Cold Eye technique is crude but effective: don’t look at a beautiful woman any longer than you would look at another person. You are not deliberately averting your eyes all the time, but neither are you staring at women the way a cheetah does a baby antelope. Basically, the idea is not to feed your arousal any more than the opportunity permits. This technique is especially helpful in dealing with media images of beautiful women. If you catch a glimpse of a gorgeous model on a billboard, for instance, don’t dwell on it. Move on. Why? Because there is nothing to see. Pretty women are a dime a dozen, and you should never forget that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Undress the Beauty&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Instead of undressing a woman’s body in your mind, you should undress her beauty. In other words, stop thinking about how good she looks, and put a more realistic spin on her womanhood. There are several aspects of women that you can choose to dwell upon in a critical fashion:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;1. Sexual History: If a woman is scantily clad, then that’s all the more reason for you to reflect on her low morals and the possibility of her being involved in a promiscuous lifestyle. Contemplate yourself being cuckolded by a woman like her or catching STDs from her. Imagine some low-life freak sticking his tongue in her face, and imagine her enjoying it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;2. Intelligence: Many pretty women have never bothered to apply themselves intellectually. Imagine the torment you might face of trying to carry on a conversation with a beautiful woman you see. Imagine the disappointment you might feel when you realize she is shallow in her thinking and behavior.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;3. Emotional Stability: Physically attractive women can be neurotic just like everyone else. How would you like to live with an emotionally disturbed person on a daily basis? Consider that a lot of women in the sex industry have a drug habit, have eating disorders, have been in abusive relationships, have illegitimate kids, etc. Think about these things the next time you see a pin-up girl.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;4. Materialism: So many women are mercenary in their relationships. They don’t care about you as a person. Power and status are their real lovers. So, imagine the apple of your eye telling you in nasal tone that you are a loser and that you don’t have what she wants (i.e., money).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;5. Attention-Seeking Behavior: Consider that your beloved most likely has a large ego and thrives on the attention men give her. She has no plans for giving you what you desire. She got what she want and most likely does not care that you have been left frustrated on the sidelines.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;5. Hateful Behavior: Consider that a beautiful woman may have a degree of hostility towards men. She may be a feminist, or consider herself a victim of “Patriarchy.” She might be the kind of person that cuts you off from your friends, hobbies, and dreams. Consider the idea of her bankrupting you in divorce court. Imagine her being abusive emotionally or physically.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;6. Physical Beauty: Addressing this factor is going for the jugular. Think about the biological processes that women start go though as the years progress. Their skin wrinkles, they start to retain body fat, etc. They age faster than men! One day, you will look around and wonder where the elitist princesses of your generation went. All you will notice are dumpy looking ladies with terrible personalities. The change starts happening after the age of 35. Do you still want to pin your future and self-worth as a man on something as transitory as the way a woman looks?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;When you start thinking intently and critically on one or more of these characteristics, you will most likely feel your desire wane. You will notice that the beautiful woman you see doesn’t seem so sublime anymore. Her stature in your mind shrivels up and shrinks in importance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Disintegration Button&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Whenever the image of an attractive woman enters your mind, reflect on how she is hurting you by causing the physical discomfort and mental distress associated with sexual tension. After all, she arouses you, but refuses to makes herself available for the physical and emotional intimacy you desire. You should consider her as being no better than a tease and thus not worthy of existing in your mind. Imagine yourself pushing a disintegration button and envision her body being atomized into a billion pixels.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Male Super-Hero vs. Female Sex Villain&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;This technique will likely sound hilarious to many readers, and yet it can serve as some comic relief for the tension you may feel in a given circumstance. Imagine you are the representative of men everywhere, pitted in a battle between the sexes. You are not going to allow feminists and other women who don’t respect men to reduce guys to useful idiots. Therefore, when approached by a female, you should see yourself as having special abilities in resisting the beauty emanating from her body. In your mind, imagine her special powers of seduction and beguilement melting away in the presence of your masculinity. Imagine yourself blasting her into the next star system with your Ion Beam of Male Indifference!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dealing with a Beautiful Friend&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The aforementioned techniques are effective for dealing with beautiful women we don’t know. However, additional caution is needed when dealing with woman we do know. In such a case, you cannot afford to get aroused by a female friend’s body if you cannot afford the fallout of losing the ability to think.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;There are several potential pitfalls in personally interacting with a beautiful woman. If she befriends you, it may be because she wants to take advantage of you. Even if she is sincerely affectionate towards you, her feelings may nonetheless change later on. You both may end up assuming things about each other, only to find yourselves disappointed. Also, she may be have a limitation of how intimate she wants to be with you; maybe she sees you just as a friend.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Another thing to keep in mind that sexual arousal is like alcohol. It impairs your judgment. Let’s expand the analogy further: People often take precautions if they know they are going to drink socially. They may even appoint someone as a “designated driver” to bring them home from some public event. In the same fashion, you need to be aware of your surroundings and who your with not before you choose to have sex, but before you choose to succumb to your arousal!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;You must continually remind yourself that arousal is dangerous around a woman that has not completely divulged to you who she is as a person. Men should not trust their sexuality to women who have not demonstrated they will give him a steady and reliable source of love, compassion, and assistance. Don’t allow your male ego to fool you into thinking you can flirt with disaster. Really, it is a simple thing to just keep women as friends or acquaintances only, leaving romance out of the picture. You only need to look at married men to realize that it is often easier to live without a woman than it is to live with one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Have a Plan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;If you insist on being open to the prospects of an intimate relationship with a woman, you will need to have a plan for how such a woman might fit into your life. Perhaps it is in your best interest to move abroad to meet women. You might want to consider more traditional societies where men are still respected as human beings and are valued for their contribution to their communities. At any rate, whether you seek a foreign wife or a woman in your own culture, decide beforehand on how you are going to handle women who are attracted to you. Stick to your principles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;It is best to do a cost-benefit analysis of the various scenarios which are likely to arise when approaching attractive women. You must decide under which circumstances you will allow yourself to become vulnerable. In other circumstances, you must be resolved to turn off your sex drive. This is part and parcel of exercising complete control over your sexuality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Have Standards She Has to Meet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Do not think of any woman as a potential mate unless you have resolved the following issues regarding her…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;1. Does she go out of the way to assist you in some meaningful fashion? Does she come over to your place and cook for you? Does she take you out to eat? Does she lend you money, help you clean up a house, etc.? Remember she must show she is a real friend prior to any relationship. Talking sweetly to you, brushing up against you, hugging you, throw her arms around you, fluffing her hair, batting her eyes, etc. doesn’t count. If she is flirting with you before being demonstrating that she is a real friend, then she is trying to control you through your sexual appetite. Avoid her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;2. Would she be a good wife or mother of your children? You should ask yourself this because many women are not content with casual, short-term relationships. Many want you to commit. Would she be the kind of woman you would want to embrace after she turns wrinkled and gray?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;3. Does she have a good reputation among friends, family members, and other people that you both know? Remember, people can change, so does she have a bedrock foundation of integrity and loyalty? Are their any disturbing qualities that you notice? Be honest with yourself and don’t overlook them. It doesn’t matter how charming her personality is initially. Drop her if she shows signs of being an evil flake. Your better being alone than being with her. Trust me on that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;4. What other essential qualities do you look for in your mate? What about your personal beliefs? You better determine all your essential criteria before talking to women.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;As harsh as it sounds, your presupposition should be that when it comes to relationships, women are guilty until proven innocent. Why? Because quite frankly, a statistically significant amount of them are screwing up men’s lives, and society now often excuses bad behavior in women while still punishing men. The gratification of your sexual desire is not worth this price.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Just Say No&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;If a woman you know tries to push you into intimacy with her before you are prepared, refuse her advances. Tell her up front that you do not want a relationship with anyone you do not know well. If she gets angry, pesters you, questions your manhood, becomes critical, or engages in some other form of inappropriate behavior, then she has done you a favor by revealing what kind of woman she is. In that case, dump her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In Case of An Emergency&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;There might be some instances where you find yourself unexpectedly aroused by a woman that you know. If you get aroused by a female friend, but want to reassert control over your feelings, then remember to use some of the techniques mentioned earlier. For instance, you can undress her beauty in your mind by reflecting on the kind of woman she might really be. Another option is to just get away from her. It sounds drastic, but remember that your friendship with her is not worth the cost of you losing your mind and doing something you’ll later regret. After all, you can live happily without women.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Sometimes a woman you know may enter your mind and cause you to become aroused. One way to defuse the tension is to think of the image in your brain as an evil impostor trying to destroy your peace of mind. Since the imposter is not the real woman, you can mentally disintegrate it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;If She’s Already Taken&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;There are times when you might find yourself aroused by an attractive woman already in a relationship with another man. You need not be the lamb lead to the slaughter. In such a case, simply imagine her significant other seeing you naked and him knowing what you are thinking about his woman!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What did I tell you?

It's his outstanding post on how men didn't agree to feminism, and how it's biting women in the ass. Can you say schadenfreude?! I can! Boys, don't get involved with American women; they're sluts, skanks, and disease ridden whores. Besides, if you marry an American woman, she'll just divorce you and screw you over anyway. Why bother with the bullshit?! Instead, hoist up a cold one, and enjoy the show as these bitter, angry, old slatterns crash and burn-yeah, Baby!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the next time you hear some bitter, angry, thirtysomething woman complain about being unable to find a man, laugh in her face! Rub the salt in their wounds till they scream bloody murder! Remind them that they wanted their 'empowerment; remind them that a woman needs a man like a fish needs bicycle; remind them that they don't need no stinkin' man. Remind these hags that they got what they said they wanted, so they ought to be happy, right? Or, you could do what EB suggested, and quietly tell them it's not your problem, then walk away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, whatever you do, do NOT give them a shoulder to cry on; do not say, "Oh, you poor thing...", because you're just enabling them. These stupid bitches need to be reminded that they made their beds; now they can lie in them and like it. Now, enjoy another EB classic...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://eternalbachelor.wordpress.com/2007/07/09/us-men-didnt-agree-to-feminism/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Us men didn’t agree to feminism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;——————————————————————————–&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;11 July 2006&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;When the feminists urged women to shrug off modesty and virtue, when they encouraged women to sneer at the concept of being a traditional stay-at-home woman and to storm forth into the workplace, and when they insisted that having kids out of wedlock was fine because kids don’t need dads, women were so busy agreeing with these things, vowing to live this “liberated” lifestyle and celebrating with bra-burning and lesbian poetry workshops, that they seemed to sort of not notice a distinct lack of men agreeing with any of this nonsense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;There may have been a few manginas around to agree with this just in the hope of getting a shag, but there were no vast numbers of normal men declaring, on behalf of all men, present and future, that us guys will still want to marry women when they’re past thirty, have fucked a dozen or more guys and perhaps have a tattoo for good measure. There were no resounding motions put forth by large meetings of men declaring that they believed that they would like nothing more than to marry a woman who has an illegitimate bastard or three. There were no ground-breaking surveys (except, perhaps, any that the feminists got round to forging) showing how most men hate being lumbered with the house, furniture, the kids and all of their cumbersome salaries after a divorce and how we would dearly love to have them all stripped from them after a divorce.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;No, there was none of that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Instead, us men are still wanting to marry traditional women. We still want virtuous and feminine women. We still want to raise our children, not some other guy’s cast-off bastard, or some child that might be ours, mummy isn’t quite sure. We still have the responsibilities of being the head of the family in terms of being financially responsible for a wife and children, so naturally we’ll only accept this if we have the benefits of it as well, namely the authority in the family.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Us men are also perceptive enough to see the endless double-standards of this so-called “modern gender roles”, namely that us guys have to be traditional when it suits women (pay for dates, open doors, be the primary breadwinner, etc) and be modern when it suits women (accept their whoring around, helping with the housework even when we’ve been at work all day, not give a shit that “our” child might actually be some biker thug’s that wifey banged when we were away on business, etc.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Additionally, curiously enough, the idea that a wife can take most or all of our assets and also a big chunk of our future earnings makes us want to avoid marriage. Similar arrangements for co-habiting makes us want to avoid co-habiting as well. It seems obvious really, but it’s something women and governments can’t get their heads around; “Well gee, if a guy gets married there’s about a 50% chance he’ll end up divorced and stripped of his assets and maybe paying most of his future income to his wife and kids he can’t see, but I can’t understand why men are avoiding marriage in such vast numbers! Duh!”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;A lot of women’s failure to comprehend how badly they’ve wrecked their chances of marriage by following feminist principles is down to the way the mass media so often presents men as being eager to date single mothers and sluts. This is because the makers of movies, soap operas and adverts need to cater to their main target demographic, women - including many single 30+ career girls and single mothers - so have to show them as having happy endings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Take, for example, the movie The Forty-Year-Old Virgin; I’ve not seen the movie but many have informed me that it basically consists of a merry bachelor who is bullied and shamed in to getting hitched to some old slag single mum. Let’s not forget the BT adverts I get so worked up about, whereby a charming young man ends up hitched to an aging slapper and her snot-nosed bastards.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Another example is East Enders. I don’t watch it but a lot of women waffle on about it at work so I inadvertantly end up knowing some of the basics. There’s a character called Mo who used to be married to a wife-beater (she smacked his head in with an iron on a Christmas episode; good old BBC, proving a nice Christmas pressie to men by showing us being a bunch of violent bastards who deserve a good clobbering.) Mo divorced him, married another guy, ended up divorced from him when she was pregnant and so is now a single mother. Anyway, I was unfortunate enough to catch an episode whilst round a mate’s house (his sister lives with him and watches East Enders and every other trashy soap.) In it, a dishy doctor (well, I don’t think he’s dishy, but that’s how I imagine TV Guides would describe him as) was taking Mo out to dinner and he was chatting her up with plenty of flattering remarks. He soon ended up proposing to her whilst she shyly accepted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The reason I mention this is because many women take Soap Operas incredibly seriously, as if they are an accurate reflection of real life. This is why many women happily sleep around, whelp bastards and generally ruin themselves and yet still think it realistic to expect to be happily married some day; many seem to believe that, in real life, just as in soap operas and chick-flicks, dishy and wealthy bachelors are just falling over themselves to marry neurotic twice-divorced thirty-something single mothers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;On behalf of all eligible bachelors, I can say that we most certainly are not!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;It’s quite insane to witness, but there are so many women ruining themselves in their youths, thinking that just because there are quite a few younger men willing to jump through hoops to get a shag, then that means these guys will still be there when the women are older, saggier, used up and bitter. Furthermore, if any guy who is still willing to get married wants a wife, not a whore, and many women cannot tell the difference, or foolishly think they can suddenly switch from being a cum-leaking slut to a nice traditional lady. They can’t. A woman who spends her 20s sleeping around, boozing away and maybe getting a tattoo or an abortion, or maybe whelping a bastard, cannot declare she’s a respectable lady her 30s. There’s no such thing as a born again virgin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Yet on and on women go, ruining themselves, spending their younger years whoring around, getting tattoos, drinking and partying, and are rather surprised when they discover that no guys want them anymore. And then we have to listen to the endless whining and complaints that men are “intimidated” or “scared of commitment”, when really us men, quite simply, just didn’t agree to all this liberated slut-fest revolution women kicked off, and we would like a traditional woman.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;It’s not that difficult.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Now it’s pretty much too late. Most women have ruined themselves, and more young women do so every day and will only regret it when they get old and lonely and realise a dozen one-night-stands makes them a slut, and once a slut, always a slut. Furthermore, women’s entry into the workplace, and the economies adaption to a dual-income family, not to mention the bloated welfare state to fund single-mothers and childcare, has left it impossible for a woman married to an average guy to be a stay-at-home mother. And the divorce and Child Support laws have chased most men away from marriage and parenthood for good anyway.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Silly women.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Still, us men didn’t agree to it. We tried to warn them, but hey, what did we know, we’re only men. Sexist Neanderthal pigs, I believe the term was, to describe any guy who tried to speak out against this feminist rubbish at the outset. Oh well, at least us men are stoic and resourceful enough to make the best of things, to largely cut ourselves off from mainstream society or perhaps move abroad and find a traditional woman.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Britain and other Western nations can fall apart like all matriarchies do, crumbling bankrupted wrecks full of bitter spinsters, whining neo-Marxist politicians, slutbag single mums, their loser thug boyfriends and rampant illegitimate bastards.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Poetic justice for a matriarchy?

They need constantly to be told what to think and do. Hence the endless talking with other females, looking to advice columnists and TV talk show personalities, magazines on how to act this way or that way, terrified when left alone and hear a noise at night, etc… They are amoral, mental children.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;What’s the scariest thing for a child?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Abandonment.

Read it; learn it; understand it; and apply it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Anatomy of Lust&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Having described the benefits of controlling sexual desire, I want to address the problem of lust. There are two components to lust: the object of desire and the arousal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Object of Desire&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The object of desire may take one or more of the following three forms: the Beautiful Stranger, the Beautiful Thought, or the Beautiful Friend.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The Beautiful Stranger represents those sexually attractive women which appear in our world but which we are not likely to ever know personally. We see them on the sidewalks, in the shopping malls, on the billboards, on the Internet, on television, in magazines, etc. They can be painted, or take the form of digital animation. They can be airbrushed or touched up with some photo imaging software. They cover themselves with mascara, lip gloss, and topical treatments of various kinds. Whether they be virtual or in the flesh, we are confronted with them on a daily basis and are not likely to escape them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The Beautiful Thought represents those sexually attractive women that keep intruding into our minds. They may be thoughts of women we have actually seen or they may be entities created wholly from the fabric of our imaginations. They worm into our lives at the most unexpected and unwelcome moments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The Beautiful Friend represents sexually attractive women that we actually know and interact with. These women can be coworkers, classmates, friends, women we meet at church, etc. Their personalities are known to us. For the most part, they probably represent the greatest danger to male self-control because of their personal dealings with us. These are the women that we cannot easily dismiss as being unpleasant people or the mere wisps of our imaginations. These are the nice ones that we are tempted to pursue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Arousal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;In response to the objects of desire, a man reacts with arousal. In order to control arousal, we must acknowledge that the problem with lust is not that men think too much about sex. It is that they don’t think enough. They don’t think logically about it, especially regarding the social and personal costs of sexual desire. There are two basic ingredients involved in the unrealistic thinking that fuels arousal and thus lust.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;First, there is fear. Men are afraid that they cannot control their feelings, and that if they try to, they will harm their bodies or have psychological problems. Men are afraid that if they don’t act on their impulses, they will miss out on some wonderful experience in life that men are obligated to have. Men are afraid that if they don’t submit to female sexuality (through marriage or otherwise), they will branded as being asexual, gay, weird, spiritually immature, etc. The result of fear is that men either are conquered by female sexuality, or retreat from it only to be defeated in some future battle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The second ingredient often found in arousal is adulation. The object of desire is presented to men in strictly positive terms. In other words, when men lust, they merely see some gorgeous, sexually available woman eager to pleasure her beholder. Men’s minds usually trail off to some scene from an XXX rated video they play over and over in their minds. There are no unpleasant parts in the movie script.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The fantasy of finding a beautiful woman that will satisfy every primal urge for physical and emotional intimacy is just too compelling for men. They are looking for the feeling they lost when they grew up and were too old to to be held to the bosom of their mothers. They imagine some larger-than-life personification of the feminine driving away the shadows of loneliness and despair from their gray adult world. When they think of finding that one special woman for their lives, they do not think about the regimen of soiled diapers, boring trips to Home Depot, senseless arguments, and mountains of bills. No, they imagine themselves stepping into some scene from a Playboy magazine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;And so a man yearns for sexual union with beautiful women as the key to resolving the things that are banal about his life. He forgets that many women are just mediocre human beings driven by self-interest. In the end, he sets himself up for disappointment, failure, shame, and disaster. Instead of being nobody’s fool, he becomes everybody’s fool.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was good stuff. There are two more parts on the way, so keep your eyes peeled!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-8722789098592426690?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/8722789098592426690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=8722789098592426690' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/8722789098592426690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/8722789098592426690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/controlling-lust-part-ii.html' title='Controlling Lust: Part II'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-3882114401559402051</id><published>2012-01-02T18:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T18:14:27.479-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Pithy, Little Saying</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="entry-body"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="item-body"&gt;&lt;div&gt;Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  don't know what made me think of this, but here's a pithy, little  saying I saw on a blog or a bumper sticker somewhere.

He mentions KPTV12- my favorite station here in Portland....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Anyhoo,  I have several gay friends, and brother, these guys are SMART when it  comes to women. Make no mistake; most gay men are extremely aware of  just how rotten women are. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  have one friend in particular who is both black and gay, and very  highly educated. When I get him started on his opinion of  women....Brother, just sit back and enjoy the ride. He is very  articulate, and has nothing but contempt for women. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;I  know two other gay guys at work who were married to thoroughly nasty  women who feel the same way. Come to think of it, I actually am friends  with at least eight gay men who with only two exceptions were once  straight. They ALL despise women, and are very open about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;There's  a reason why most women resent male homosexuality, and it has little to  do with morals. As one gay friend put it, "Women hate us because they  can't control us. It's all about control. What they can't control, they  hate."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;His exact words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Now,  I'm not advocating anyone become gay, but I can understand WHY they  made the choice, even though I don't share their desires. Many men NEED  sex and companionship, and if they can't get it from women.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Ah, well. Fortunately my desires are elsewhere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thought provoking stuff, isn't it?

This is some of the most important information I shall disseminate here, so pay attention, Fellas. Here is a series of essays giving us solid, practical information about how to reduce women's power over us. The only thing that modern women have are their 'whore powers', their powers of sexual enchantment. Her whore powers are her nuclear option, if you will. Diffuse her nuclear option, and you've defeated the modern, predatory woman's main weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than sex, modern women have NOTHING AT ALL TO OFFER US-nothing! They don't know how to cook or clean, and they're proud of their lack of domestic skills. Funny thing is that I never considered it empowering to be ignorant in the rudiments of taking care of one's self. Modern, American women are not sane, pleasant, or reasonable; they're bitches, and bless God, they're proud of it! Ever seen the sticker or t-shirt that says: "You say 'bitch' like it's a bad thing"? THAT is the modern woman's mentality. Modern women don't even make good companions anymore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I'm trying to say is this: sexual charms are all a woman has; defeat them, and you've defeated her. She can't offer to keep a home for you, because she doesn't know how. She can't charm you with her ladylike words and deeds, because being a lady equals being weak. The modern woman is compelled to show her inner bitch, because it's a sign of being true to The Sisterhood. If you resist a woman's sexual charms, she WILL reveal her inner bitch; you will see her as she really is. Furthermore, she'll move on to another target. Once you've defeated her whore powers, she has no other way to get you. That, and she doesn't want to waste time on someone into whom she cannot quickly sink her claws. That's what you want-for her to go after another target. This series will give you the tools to do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;[This is the first installment of a four-part series on how men can avoid being slaves to female sexuality.]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;There was a time when women were thought to be the ones who needed protection from sexual predators. In many instances, this idea is still used to punish innocent men for their natural sexual inclinations, yet ironically, a striking change in sexual relations has developed. Men are now realizing that they are the ones who have to arm themselves against the sexuality of the opposite sex. Why? Because female sexuality has been turned into a weapon against men.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why Control Lust?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;If you believe the current situation regarding how women treat men is agreeable, the following discussion on controlling lust will be of no use to you. You will instead need an education on the blatant misandry that is so prevalent in contemporary society. I am certain that in this sex-saturated society, many men would question why they should control their sexual desires. After all, isn’t sexual desire a good thing? Aren’t men programmed with a sex drive? Who doesn’t want to have sex with women?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The answer is simple. Our refusal as men to control our sex drive is costing us personally and collectively. Our strong desires for physical and emotional intimacy makes us vulnerable to manipulation by people who don’t often have our best interests at heart. Do not think that I am just talking about some bad woman luring away a man from his happy family. No, I am talking about the entire social structure of contemporary Western civilization. The Sex Industry, the Marriage Industry, the Divorce Industry, the Domestic Violence Industry, the Sexual Harassment Litigation Industry, and indeed Madison Avenue could not function except for the fact that a horny male and his money are soon parted. I suspect that most instances of wealth transfer from men to women are based upon this truth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Men are being exploited by commercialism, the religious establishment, the workplace, academia, government, etc. because they have been programmed to believe that their lives revolve around getting their rations of intimacy from women. Men do not need intimacy from women in order to be happy, but society suppresses this truth. It suppresses this truth because it needs men to slave away for something that is overvalued: a woman’s affection. “Sex sells” because men don’t question the quality of the product.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;When society approaches the matter of chastity, it always looks at the matter from the supply side. In other words, it’s about limiting the access to women, whether the access is in person or virtually. Government passes all sorts of draconian laws to control what men do sexually. The religious establishment condemns pre-marital sex, prostitution, pornography, and sometimes even masturbation, while urging men to nonetheless get married as a rite of passage into adulthood. Contemporary women demand compliance to a laundry list of ridiculous, unrealistic, self-serving criteria before men may receive attention. In essence, the supply-side approach to chastity creates an artificial scarcity and drives up the costs men bear in their lives for what they desire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Demand Side&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;I approach the matter of chastity from a different angle: the demand side. A man should ask just why would he want to have sex with a woman in the first place. What have women done for him, besides look pretty and bother to talk to him? Just why would he want to live with a woman for the rest of his life simply because she has decided to have children by him? What else is a woman going to do for him besides take his money and time? Is the temporary euphoria of sex and romance really worth the long-term price he is going to have to pay? Believe me, he will have to pay a steep price whether the sex is socially sanctioned or not.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Some men think they can avoid the dangers of sexual liaisons in today’s society by resorting to pornography. But such is not particularly helpful because it still holds men captive to the power of female sexuality. They are paying a price for their desire in terms of time and money, and yet they merely receive the sizzle without the steak. In the wake of pornography, men are still left salivating for the real thing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;It is time for men to stop being so desperate for something they can live quite contentedly without. When dealing with a woman, it is best to trump the Sex Card she may be prone to play with you. Who cares if she is drop dead gorgeous, has a PhD, shares your hobbies, and is talking to you? Women of generations past actually contributed something useful to the physical survival of their husbands and their family unit. How does the apple of your eye measure up in that regard, considering her looks will fade and her agreeable personality may change?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;When a man stops worrying about whether or not he will be lucky in love, something happens. He becomes at peace with himself. Things that used to appear to be important are revealed as being trivial. The man becomes self-confident in his dealings with the opposite sex because he no longer feels there are any high stakes involved. He no longer sees himself as a loser because he is no longer playing a game rigged against him. He can engage life on his own terms and not compromise his core values and goals. He defines his own manhood instead of succumbing to the winds of fashion. He can get through the day with his health, sanity, and bank account still intact. What kind of man would not want these things?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;In short, what I propose is not castration or repression of a man’s desire, but that a man master his feelings. He should be able to turn on or off his own sex drive as he pleases. He should never feel that he is at the mercy of his own biology. Contrary to popular opinion, a man is not doomed to go stir crazy from practicing abstinence. He should realize that he has genuine choices about how he reacts when confronted with female sexuality. Let women prove their merit to the man for a change. Let his sex drive serve him, not the other way around.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;-----------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's good, powerful stuff, Fellas!

I have not been in hiding, but rather preparing for Christmas, hosting family from Europe, and putting in only the minimal time at my own blog. I am not afraid to engage here, though in truth I do not believe I can get a fair hearing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the sniping to which she was subjected, I can't blame her for feeling this way... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;For the purposes of clarifying where I stand on these issues, I will comment on the original statement, and then describe my own beliefs re marriage and divorce.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;First, it is true that I retorted to Doug with great emotion in the original comment. My response was overblown and said in great frustration. I apologize for offending anyone here who has experienced frivolous divorce and/or cares deeply about misandrist law. In truth, it was not my intention to say that women do not file for divorce frivolously. I am well aware that they do. However, my desire to have the exchange put in context is legitimate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Doug’s claim that a woman divorcing for infidelity is engaging in frivolous divorce, and that a double standard for cheating is fair based on sex drive differences, angered many women and men at HUS, generating the longest thread ever, nearly 1,800 comments. There has been great frustration with Doug in recent days at the site, and it was in the interest of fairness that I allowed him to register many comments that I believed to be unethical and unfair. Cherry picking one comment out of a thread of well over 1,000 was deceptive, and I remain surprised that it became the topic of a post.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;I will now state my beliefs, to the extent they are informed, about these issues. It is true that I have not devoted myself to the study of marriage or divorce law. While that is Dalrock’s specialty, my own blog covers a very wide range of issues relating to all facets of navigating the SMP. I do agree that I should understand family law if I am promoting marriage, which is why I agreed to write a post about it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;1. Any divorce initiated for the purposes of personal growth or development, having new experiences, getting a new lease on life, etc. is frivolous and wrong. There should be no compensation to the initiating spouse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That, too, is my definition of frivolous divorce.&amp;nbsp; I don't think that the initiating spouse should get anything, either. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;2. Domestic violence laws set the bar too low, and presume male guilt. Female-inflicted violence is ignored or suppressed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree.&amp;nbsp; I have no problem with this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;3. Any parent receiving child support should be fully accountable for the expenditure of those funds, with documentation and review.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with this also.&amp;nbsp; A question to be asked would be: how does one IMPLEMENT this? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;4. Every divorce where children are present should presume joint custody.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which would preclude the initiating spouse from moving hundreds of miles away, as is often the case now.&amp;nbsp; Also, as a practical matter, how should joint custody periods be implemented?&amp;nbsp; This would be important, because a child can't be switching schools all the time.&amp;nbsp; While this wouldn't be an issue if the parents live in the same town, it would be an issue if they lived in different towns, even if those towns are near one another.&amp;nbsp; Where would the child(ren) live, when, and for how long? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;5. The Women’s Movement has eliminated the justification for alimony, for the most part. Alimony should never be calculated based on the income of a second spouse, as it was in MA until recently. I do not support lifetime alimony under any circumstances.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no issue with this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;6. Infidelity is never a frivolous reason for divorce. In invalidates the marriage contract. I reject outright any claims that because women bond more easily during sex, they should refrain from adultery, while men can have sex on the side without threatening the marriage and family.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think adultery voids the marriage contract also.&amp;nbsp; One, one of the Ten Commandments tells us not to do it.&amp;nbsp; Two, one of the marriage vows involves 'forsaking all others'.&amp;nbsp; Being faithful is part of the deal-simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Doug's comment, what can I say?&amp;nbsp; Adultery, if committed by the woman, has more impact (both on the couple and society) because the husband can no longer be sure if her children are also HIS children.&amp;nbsp; No matter what happens, a woman is always sure of the paternity of her children.&amp;nbsp; The husband can never have 100% certainty of paternity; the only way to assure the husband that the children are his entails the wife being faithful.&amp;nbsp; Therefore, women's adultery has always been more frowned upon than men's adultery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, it's wrong for both parties (i.e. the husband and wife) to commit adultery.&amp;nbsp; As Mrs. Walsh pointed out, it voids the marriage contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;7. Witholding sex from a spouse indefinitely is a legitimate reason for divorce or sex outside the marriage, if the parties do not wish to divorce.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with this.&amp;nbsp; Though I don't condone adultery, I can understand why the denied spouse would seek fulfillment elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that though, what about if one of the spouse has a health issue that precludes sex?&amp;nbsp; For example, a war veteran is impotent due to combat injuries, and he can no longer 'do the deed'.&amp;nbsp; What then?&amp;nbsp; For me, I'd draw the line at WILLFUL DENIAL of fulfilling your spouse's sexual needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;8. While claims of abuse may be overblown, real domestic violence does occur and is a legitimate reason for divorce.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it happens on a repeated basis and the guilty party is unrepentant, then I'd agree.&amp;nbsp; I disagree if the DV is a one time thing.&amp;nbsp; Having said that though, according to Erin Pizzey, who had the world's first shelter, DV usually goes both ways, and is indicative of a serious, underlying dysfunctional dynamic in the relationship.&amp;nbsp; IOW, DV is seldom as the feminists say; seldom do we have the situation where one party is guilty of committing the DV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;9. Unhealthy or destructive habits such as substance abuse, excessive spending into extreme debt, or refusal to contribute effort to the family are all valid grounds for divorce by either party.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't have an issue with the destructive habits-again, if the offending spouse is guilty of doing these things on a flagrant, repeated, unrepentant basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the refusal to contribute effort to the family, that is a rather vague and frivolous reason for divorce.&amp;nbsp; Does that mean that, if Hubby refuses to take out the trash twice, that Wifey has good reason for divorce?&amp;nbsp; What if Hubby didn't fix a leaky faucet right away?&amp;nbsp; What if Hubby, for whatever reason, lacks the experience or ability to fix something around the house, yet the family doesn't have the money to call in a contractor?&amp;nbsp; Does this constitute failure to contribute effort to the family?&amp;nbsp; I'm not asking to be a dick; I'm asking because I seek clarification on this.&amp;nbsp; I'm willing to give Mrs. Walsh the benefit of the doubt here, and say that she phrased this part of her statement poorly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;10. I support prenups, and believe they should include severe penalties for cheating by either party.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have two problems with prenups; one is practical, while the other goes against my values.&amp;nbsp; On a practical level, a judge can set aside part or all of a prenup, thus rendering part or all of it null and void.&amp;nbsp; In terms of my values, a prenup starts off a marriage with the assumption that things aren't going to work, and that an escape hatch is needed.&amp;nbsp; That said, I could see having one if there is a wealth disparity between the would-be spouses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do think that, unlike now, prenups should be worth more than the paper they're printed on.&amp;nbsp; They are contracts, so they should be treated as such.&amp;nbsp; That is to say that they should be enforceable.&amp;nbsp; As for the penalties, that would depend on the prenup, and how it's structured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;All of the above statements apply equally to men and women.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;I suspect that men here will find them wanting. I can only say that I strive for fairness, regardless of sex.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no problems with any of this.&amp;nbsp; If genuine equality before the law existed, then this discussion wouldn't be taking place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Which brings me to my final remarks. I see that I am characterized here as being biased towards women, helping them to snag husbands at the expense of men. Again, my remarks on my own blog were taken out of context, so I’ll clarify.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;I am a woman. As such, despite my efforts and desire to learn, I will never fully grok the male experience. It is not possible. When I am accused of seeing the world through a “female centric” or “Team Woman” lens, I can only say that none of us can ever be fully neutral. I recognize that as a limitation, not a point of pride.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find this understandable, and I have no problem with it.&amp;nbsp; I, being a man, can never hope to achieve 100% understanding of what it's like to be a woman; I can never fully grok the female experience.&amp;nbsp; None of us is without bias.&amp;nbsp; I give Mrs. Walsh credit for acknowledging hers, and how it might impact her observations, thoughts, and opinions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;I am pro-relationship and pro-marriage, but not because it benefits women. I believe that healthy relationships and good marriages confer great benefits on both sexes. Certainly, the young men who read and comment at HUS desire LTRs and marriage. I do everything I can to help them meet their goals, and appreciate the many male commenters who advise them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe it or not, in my heart of hearts, I agree with this sentiment.&amp;nbsp; I think that men and women were meant to be together; that we belong together; that sex separatism is unnatural; and that men and women have an underlying need &amp;amp; desire to be together.&amp;nbsp; I think that good, healthy marriages give us good, healthy families; and good, healthy families make for a good, healthy nation.&amp;nbsp; I also think that good marriages and relationships can and do benefit both men and women on a physical and psychic level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, given the current environment, it's difficult if not impossible to achieve that in the current legal and societal milieu.&amp;nbsp; Where is marriage supported in society?&amp;nbsp; How can a man have a good relationship or marriage when women behave so badly?&amp;nbsp; How can a man take the risk of getting married when he stands to lose everything, all because Wifey wakes up one day and decides to do the "Eat, Pray, and Love" thing?&amp;nbsp; Kobe Bryant just got popped for what, 190 MILLION dollars in his recent divorce?&amp;nbsp; How does that make a man want to take the plunge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;The bottom line is that I am writing for the 80%. I have no use for sluts of either gender. I disrespect promiscuity as a lifestyle, but more importantly I find it damaging to society as a whole. Men and women understand one another far less than they did 40 years ago at the Sexual Revolution. HUS is a place where I hope to chip away at that. I started the blog to make women more suitable for LTRs, and now I write for both men and women. I will continue to do that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Mrs. Walsh speaks of writing for the 80%, &lt;a href="http://dalrock.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/all-the-lonely-feminist-spinsters/#comment-16895" target="_blank"&gt;here's what she means&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; In one of her comments, Mrs. Walsh is of the opinion that the 80/20 rule isn't hard and fast, nor does it break down that cleanly.&amp;nbsp; IOW, she's saying that 80% of women are not having sex with 20% of men; she's saying that 20% of women are sluts having sex with 20% of the male sluts, as I understand her thesis.&amp;nbsp; That means that 80% of women are NOT getting what they want (a good relationship with a good guy) in the current sexual market place, or SMP.&amp;nbsp; That's what she means by 'writing for the 80%'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;I have deep respect for many in the manosphere, and value the comments that many of you have left on my blog. You are spending your time and energy to make positive changes that you believe in. I support your mission. It is not the same as mine, but we do overlap. I hope we can continue to work together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that men and women can and should work together to fix the mess in which we find ourselves.&amp;nbsp; The War of the Sexes has gone on long enough.&amp;nbsp; Those are my thoughts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-8134053987794161206?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/8134053987794161206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=8134053987794161206' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/8134053987794161206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/8134053987794161206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/susan-walshs-position-on-divorce-my.html' title='Susan Walsh&apos;s Position on Divorce: My Take'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-2555123918209926659</id><published>2012-01-01T00:01:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T00:01:05.832-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy New Year to All Bachelors!</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy New Year to all of you! Let's continue being happy, single, and free! Let's continue giving American women the husband they deserve-NONE. Let's continue enjoying the main fruit of feminism-our freedom. Feminism did more for men than it did for women; don't forget that, Fellas. Long live the marriage strike!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that in mind, &lt;a href="http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/relationships/why-do-successful-women-settle-for-lazy-lumps-1587083.html" target="_blank"&gt;here's an article&lt;/a&gt; about how it's working. Women are getting the husband that they deserve-none-and I'm glad to see that! Listen to these old, man-hating, feminazi hags cry like stuck pigs that they can't find any 'good men', and remember how good life is WITHOUT one of them. Let's all cry for them-not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid them if you can; life is simpler and better without a woman in it to make you miserable. If you still get sexual needs that cannot be fulfilled via self-stimulation, then hump &amp;amp; dump these chicks if you must; goodness knows that they spurned good, decent gentlemen who wanted them in their prime; she spurned them in favor of bad boys who treated her badly and got her panties wet when everyone wanted her in her 20s; so I see nothing wrong with returning the favor they've no doubt dished out to countless guys over the years. Whatever you do, do NOT have a relationshit with one of these bitches, let alone MARRY one. That would be a fate worse than death!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'll post the article below, and I'll intersperse my biting thoughts as always. Hope you like those bicycles, ladies-ha! You don't need no stinkin' man, right? Well, we don't need no stinkin' bitch, either. I know I like my freedom from bitches like you; that alone makes life good and worth living... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Why do successful women settle for lazy lumps?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Monday December 29 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;'He doesn't have a penny, he lives with his mother. He takes my car and uses all the damn petrol. He got drunk at my company party and bored the whole table with his thoughts on what we were doing wrong. He's a dropout; doesn't even have a degree. He's doing my head in."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awwwww, let's all cry for poor, little Veronica-not! Anyway, I have a few pointed questions for you, my dear. One, how many guys did YOU use when you were young, hot, and desirable, hmmm? How many guys did you go out with years ago, guys in whom you had NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER, yet you used them for free dinners and movies, hmmm? How many guys did you string along over the years? How many guys' heads have you 'done in', as you put it? Looks to me like karma is biting you in the ass, Darlin'...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;So goes the latest lament of Veronica (not her real name), a senior purchaser for a large firm -- financially secure, glamorous and owner of two houses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She no doubt achieved her financial security at the expense of more deserving men over the years, truth be told. She got the good jobs that guys SHOULD have gotten, yet thanks to the pussy pass/penis exclusion, they did not. I remember how, when I worked for a certain, Fortune 500 company, I was told as a new employee that, if I didn't have indoor plumbing (read a vagina), then I could FORGET about being promoted; one of my female colleagues told me this, BTW...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And WTF is this snobbery about not having a degree, Darlin'? Who the hell do you think you are?! You think you're special because you have a sheepskin (no doubt a worthless one like women's studies or some similar such fluff)? Did you know that many blue collar guys earn MORE than you do? I'm serious. Just check out what automotive technicians make; hint, it's a lot more than many of us who hold degrees...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;She's dating a man she knew from college years ago, when she wouldn't even have coffee with him. So why is she seeing him now?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is she seeing this former, college classmate now? I'll tell you why: because all the bad boys she banged when she was young &amp;amp; hot no longer want her, that's why! The bad boys she banged back when have moved on to younger, hotter chicks, who like you, enjoy being treated like crap. But, that's another rant for another day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"Ah, look, it's better than being alone," she sighs. "What good is my success if I have nobody to talk to at night? A Prada handbag can't give you a cuddle."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh, Veronica, I thought a woman needed a man like a fish needed a bicycle! I thought you strong, independent, empowered women didn't NEED no stinkin' man! I thought you were happier having a cat. You telling me that you lied?! Wow, a woman lying-like that's a shocker...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Veronica is part of an ever-growing number of career- driven Irish women who have worked hard, achieved material success, and yet allowed their otherwise exacting standards to lapse when it comes to love.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's because the guys who meet those standards have other options-duh! Why would they settle for some bitter, angry, used up, over the hill whore carrying more baggage than Samsonite? Why would he do that when he can have someone younger, hotter, fresher, and isn't angry, bitter, used up, and hating men yet? You see, the thing you stupid bitches never, ever seem to get through your thick skulls is that men who even meet a FRACTION of your unreasonably long lists have other options-duh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Take a look around any bar and you'll see stunning women, coiffed and groomed, seated with noticeably shabbier men who are reticent when it comes to their round and who have to be helped off their stools at the end of the night.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know if these women are stunning or not, but I'll play along with this generous assumption and probable lie. If that is true, then what does that tell us about the women, hmmm? Can we not infer that men that they'd deem worthy (read rich, tall, dark, handsome, and successful) do not WANT these aging career bitches? It certainly looks like that to me. That leads to yet another question: WHY do more suitable men not want these aging, used up career slags? It couldn't be that they're not WORTH having, could it?! Nah, that would imply that the women are less than perfect; saying that a woman might not be perfect is a crime against humanity! We can't have that now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;How did such odd pairings come about, and why do the resigned-looking girlfriends of such losers put up with it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh, it could be that these purportedly wonderful women aren't so wonderful. It could also be that, after having been banged &amp;amp; clanged by countless bad boys, these chicks are out of options. This is the best that they can hope to get, as any guy they'd truly be interested in would be smart enough to AVOID them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;And why are they giving the time of day to blokes they wouldn't have spat on 10 years ago?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because they have no one else to whom they can GIVE the time of day, that's why!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"All the good ones are gay or married", sighs Jill (33) and single. "I went straight from college to a very cutthroat job, travelled a lot, and wanted to settle down. I was ready, but the pickings are slim. They're called the dregs for a reason; they're all that's left".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not all the good guys are taken or married, Jill. Some of us are just smart enough to AVOID THE LIKES OF YOU! I'm serious; I do NOT want a woman in my life. I find the likes of you so disgusting that I don't even want to BANG you anymore!! Even the thought of having sex with some over the hill, disease ridden, misandric career bitch turns my stomach. I think I'd rather masturbate, thank you very much! Not only will the experience be better; I don't have to worry about knocking you up, nor do I have to worry about catching one of your diseases in that petri dish of a vagina you have! Oh, gag a maggot! That's what taking of whiff of your vagina would do too-gag a maggot...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, assuming that what you say is true, assuming that you DID want to settle down, let me ask you a few more pointed questions. One, why did you take a job that had you playing Road Warrior, huh? Wouldn't that obviously take you away from meeting men where you lived? I mean, if you're not THERE to meet them, how can you hope to meet them, Darlin'? Don't your actions contradict your stated intentions? Isn't it true that your words do not agree with your actions? I think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's what I think happened. Back in college and immediately thereafter, you were still in your 20s; you were still young, hot, and desirable. Why guys were coming down the tracks like rush hour trains! So what if you blew one off? You knew that there'd be 100 other swingin' dicks to take his place, right? You young girls have it so DAMN EASY when it comes to meeting someone of the opposite sex-so easy! Men are so plentiful that you can and do reject them for the most innocuous and perplexing of reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, that guy's hair is a shade or two too light in brown-out with him! That guy's not wearing wing tip shoes; reject him! That guy's an inch too short-next! That guy only drives a Ford; I want someone with a BMW, damn it! Out he goes! And, this other guy actually treats me nicely; I can't have that! Give me a real man; give me someone who'll treat me like crap, so I can fall in love with him. I could go on, but you get my point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem arises from the fact that you deluded career bitches think that this sort of thing will continue your whole life long; you think that, since men are coming down the tracks like rush hour trains, that this will always be the case. You think that, because all the boys want you now, that they'll always want you. Sorry, but life doesn't work like that, girls. Only when it's too late do you realize that, as you get older, there are fewer men around. The men you flocked to when you were young &amp;amp; hot have other options; they're going for the NEXT group of twentysomething chicks who think that they'll smash the glass cieling. Why would they want your old, shriveled up hide, when they can have someone young, hot, perky, and sans the baggage you have? Can't think of a good reason why a man would do that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;She siphoned off what she thought was the best of a bad lot in the form of a vertically challenged, badly-dressed misogynist.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You KNOW it's getting bad when a short, ugly misogynist is all that's left-ha!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"I ironed his shirts, made him dinner, wore sexy lingerie, and alphabetised his porn collection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"We went to a friend's wedding and I got a bit weepy and asked him if we were ever going to tie the knot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"He dumped me -- by text -- then had the nerve to ask me to wash the stuff he left in the laundry basket before he collected it."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good for him! WTF do you think any guy with any brains is going to do when you even SUGGEST tying the knot? Why would a man say 'yes' to a proposition that offers nothing to him whatsoever, hmmm?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Men would appear to have cottoned on to the fact that girls, who may have previously turned up their noses at them, are now making a beeline for them like the last seat in a game of musical chairs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, the worm has turned-yes! You gals had all the power before 30; it's only right that we get it afterwards. I know you all don't like that, because your whore powers are all you have; that's all you have to offer, so when your whore powers fade, you must panic, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Not surprisingly, they're taking full advantage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After chicks took full advantage of their early, superior position in the dating world, why wouldn't we men do likewise? Why wouldn't we return the favor, hmmm? Now that the tables have turned, the chickies have their panties all wadded up. Too freakin' bad, ladies! You used and abused us when you were in demand; now, you get to EXPERIENCE what you dished out to us when every swingin' dick wanted you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"The tables have turned in a big way," laughs Aidan, a 32- year-old man who takes time out of his drinking and computer games schedule to visit the dole office and make vague feints at job seeking.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, a guy taking it easy-yes! That's what &lt;a href="http://eternalbachelor.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/take-it-easy/" target="_blank"&gt;Eternal Bachelor suggested we do&lt;/a&gt;, hehehe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"These chicks all get a bit desperate after 30: all they want is to be in a relationship and are dying to get someone down the aisle. I'm seeing two of them at the moment."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Do they know about each other?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"They have an idea that I'm in demand, so they try extra hard. If one of them annoys me, I just disappear for a while with the other one. A bit of competition doesn't do any harm."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good, if a woman knows that she can easily be replaced, she's more likely to-gasp-treat you decently! That's got to stick in her craw, but too bad. They should have treated us better when everyone wanted them, huh? Now that we can play them against one another, they have one of two choices: shape up, or ship out, bitch! There are plenty more where you and your kind came from. If you give me too much shit, I'll just find someone else, thank you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;According to available census figures, the number of single people (aged 15 to 38) in this country has increased by 140,000 between 2002 and 2006, and at least half of those are female.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, this news warms the cockles of my heart! It fills me with much schadenfreude to see more women getting the husband they deserve-none.... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;There is a tendency to get married later in life, but it would seem that once women reach a certain age, it's viewed as the point of no return.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hint: it's called the 'expiration date' for a reason-duh! Once women pass 30, their looks, bodies, and along with them, their whore powers, start to fade. They can no longer cast a spell on men like they used to in their 20s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once a guy reaches his late 20s to earlly 30s, here's what happens. One, his sex drive dies down, so he isn't so easily blinded by the 'hormone goggles'. Two, men start seeing male friends and family members get burned in divorce. Three, since they've had DECADES of abuse and mistreatment from women, they're deciding that maybe they don't need, let alone want, one of them. A guy starts to realize that he has something precious: his freedom, and he's not going to surrender it to some bitch...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Deborah is recently divorced from a wealthy businessman, who kept her in Louboutin shoes but bored her senseless.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aw, a gold digging whore got bored with the rich businessman keeping her well-what a surprise-not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;She cut him loose in a show of inner strength, kissing her five-star lifestyle goodbye, and made many "I don't neeeeeed a man" noises.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silly girl-the only chicks who make these noises are those whose whore powers have faded; the only women who make these noises can't GET a man to begin with! Rather than admit the obvious (that no one wants their sorry, used up, diseased hides), they pretend that they don't want men anyway. Nice try ladies, but we're on to your bullshit...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Her married friends, supportive initially, soon stopped inviting her to dinner and she found herself ostracised with nobody to play with.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"It's a whole new thing, being a divorcee in Ireland" she says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a whole new thing, because you're not 20 anymore, Darlin'! Men aren't falling all over themselves to be with you. THAT is what's new...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"I'm 40, have a bit of cash, but don't have any kids and it seems that getting rid of my husband was throwing away my social credential.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do have a social credential, only your married friends haven't let you in on the secret: you are damaged goods!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"I never get asked anywhere any more, unless I'm the token single chick, and people that I thought were mates get uncomfortable when I chat to their husbands.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, your friends have seen how you did NOT honor your marriage vows; they've already seen that you don't view marriage as precious and sacrosanct. They rightfully fear and suspect that your lack of respect for marriage will carry over to their husbands-duh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"It seems I've gone from being part of a group to being a pariah, and am regarded as a threat."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's because you ARE a threat, Darlin'! See my above comment...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;She recently banged into a fortysomething former television presenter she knew years ago and had rejected. He's broke, unmarried and adamant about staying that way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That man is no fool! He's no fool about marriage and the avoidance thereof; neither is he a fool about her feelings for him. Deborah didn't want this man when he wanted her; it says that she rejected him. Well, this man also knows that she really, truly doesn't want him now, either; the only difference is that she's run out of options, and she's willing to settle for him. Oh, I bet he's flattered; he gets to be her consolation prize-wow! That's a position every guy aspires to-not! Hey, if the kitten didn't want me, then I don't want the cat-end of story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Desperate for a partner so she could re-establish a social life, she's put her reservations aside and embarked on a relationship, but has discovered his single status may not be self-imposed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;He uses nappy rash powder on his privates because "he likes the way it feels"; refuses to eat 'foreign muck', and is "awful in bed". And he's bald.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Yet she persists, convinced she has a shot at 'fixing' him. She's hoping she can change his mind on marriage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a shocker-a chick thinking that she can fix a man! Where have we seen THAT movie before?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;She is aware that if she fancies a holiday she'll have to pay for his ticket and the most she can hope for is a grudging hand with taking the bins out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, now SHE'S doing the keeping, huh? How do you like being the 'man' in the relationship, Sweet Pee? Isn't so much fun now, is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has got to stick in her craw. One, like every woman, she no doubt harbored her princess fantasies as a young girl. Two, she was used to having men come down the tracks like rush hour trains, and she thought that this would continue. Silly girl!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;She's left &lt;i&gt;The Joy of Sex&lt;/i&gt; in his bathroom, where she's sure he'll flick through it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I'm sure he's flicked through it. He might even practice the techniques on you. But, what he's really wanting to do is learn these techniques, so he can land someone better than you, my dear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;There are women who have thrown their hands in the air, choosing solitude over compromise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, now I KNOW that this has to be written by a woman! Only a woman would tell such a bald faced lie like this! No woman wants solitude-none! If there's one thing that drives cold, nightmarish fear into women, it is the fear of being alone. Why do you ALWAYS see them out and about in groups, huh? Because they can't stand the thought of being alone, that's why! Women have GOT to be with someone, or else they can't go out for the evening. Women want solitude like fish want bicycles-what a freakin' lie...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Vivian (38) is a spa manager whose days are long and whose fuse is short.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"Listen: I've been out on so many blind dates I should have my own guide dog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"I'm sick of having to spend evenings listening to losers, paying for a meal I didn't enjoy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does it feel, Darlin'? How do YOU like listening to some loser, and paying for a meal you don't enjoy? WTF did you think men have done for their whole lives?! Ah, but that's different; that's okay when you're taking advantage of the man, isn't it? Now that the shoe is on the other foot (yours), you don't like it so much, do you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is living proof that women aren't empathetic like we're always told in the Lamestream Media. If women had any empathy whatsoever, then they'd know that this is what men put up with to be with their sorry asses!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;"My nights off are now spent in the bath with a good book and I'm fine with that."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll have to be fine with that, because that's as good as it'll ever get for you and your sister over the hill, bitter, angry, used up, misandrist career bitches...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Her milk of human kindness has clearly soured. But for women like divorcee Deborah, still resolute in dating her feckless and fiscally unsound man, hope springs eternal. Now Deborah has no choice but to eternally spring -- for everything.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Her (Vivian's) milk of human kindness has soured." Translation: she's been used and abused by bad boys for decades. Now that they've gotten tired of her, she hates men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it funny how the Lamestream Media paints US as being fiscially irresponsible? Which sex owns hundreds of pair of shoes?! Which sex will blow hundreds of dollars on a sack made of leather, aka a handbag? I know, and I rest my case!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Is it better to be alone than to compromise?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a guy, it most definitely is better to be alone than compromise with some bitch! You know what compromise means to women, don't you? Women will tell you that it means give &amp;amp; take: you do all the giving, while they do all the taking-ha! That's a woman's definition of compromise. In that light, it is better to be alone than compromise-at least from a man's point of view, anyway...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Dumbing down ultimately leads to disappointment and frustration, but it gets cold and lonely on the lofty peak of high moral ground. Perhaps we could meet somewhere in the middle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not interested in meeting women in the middle. They heaped hatred, scorn, abuse, derision, etc. on us for over 40 years; they made their beds; now, I think that these women should sleep in them, know what I mean? Furthermore, I'm not interested in surrendering my balls, my freedom, my life, and my thoughts to someone who hates me and everything about me. No, I'll keep my freedom, thank you very much.  Meanwhile, I'll do my part to give women the husband they deserve-none! Let's all do likewise, Fellas. If you think women are screaming now, you haven't seen ANYTHING yet! Let's enjoy the show, Fellas, while we take it easy, and enjoy our lives apart from women... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-2555123918209926659?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/2555123918209926659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=2555123918209926659' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/2555123918209926659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/2555123918209926659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-year-to-all-bachelors.html' title='Happy New Year to All Bachelors!'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-526103734838781732</id><published>2011-12-31T20:01:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T20:01:00.070-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Oscar Wilde on Women</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a discussion going on Mancoat that's about  relationships.  I won't go into the discussion itself, but two of the  guys posted quotes from Oscar Wilde.  Judging by what he said, I think  it's fair to say that the man knew women...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;"I  am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than  anything else. They have wonderfully primitive instincts. We have  emancipated them, but they remain slaves looking for their masters all  the same." - Oscar Wilde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;“The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;-Oscar Wilde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;”Men always want to be a woman’s first love-women like to be a man’s last romance.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;-Oscar Wilde&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;“Dammit sir, it’s your duty to get married.

Any guy who's dumb enough to marry DESERVES whatever heartache and pain happen to him; yes, I mean all of it! Fellas, do yourselves a favor, and keep your balls. Whatever you do, DON'T GET MARRIED!! Once you do, it's 'curtains for ya'...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Seven Signs He's About to Propose&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;His apartment is clean, he's saving money, and Thursday night poker with the guys has turned into date night with you? Either your guy is coming down with something, or he's planning to pop the question. Read on for more telltale signs that he's ready to say "I do."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If he knew what was good for him, he'd be saying "I do NOT!" I do not give up my freedom! I do not give up my balls! I do not give up control of my wallet! I do NOT give up everything I love and enjoy for some ungrateful bitch! I do not give some American bitch control over my life! I do not become someone's slave! I do not!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. He's Growing out of His Bachelor Ways&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;You can tell his bachelor days are behind him when his number one priority is no longer himself. If he's constantly using terms like "we" and "our," and plans for a weekend with the guys in Vegas are suddenly on the back burner while weekend picnics with you are becoming more common, he's probably not just sick of his buddies. He might've realized that he prefers a more settled lifestyle, and this transition puts him squarely on the path to proposing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You mean he's getting ready to put his head in the noose, don't you, Darlin'?! Let's see if she keeps using 'we' and 'our' after the divorce, pal! And divorce you she will. Women file for divorce first 70% of the time, and you'd best remember that, Fellas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know how she'll use the word, 'our'? When she talks about appropriating and controlling your pay, dumb ass! What's hers is hers, and what's yours is 'ours'. Isn't it funny how THAT works when you get married? When she uses 'our', that's womanese for MINE; in effect, she's saying, "I own you and everything you have, pal!" Shoot, I remember hearing female colleagues BRAG about this; they were loud &amp;amp; proud in proclaiming "What's mine is mine, and what's his is mine!" Don't you forget it, either...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. He's Redecorating&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;You may also notice certain items have disappeared from his pad, like his college posters and Star Wars memorabilia. Did he ditch that ugly brown chair for a nice new couch? It could be the start of major changes — your boyfriend is making room in his life for you, both physically and emotionally.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cleaning up clutter and stuff != redecorating, okay?! And if he is redecorating, then it means he's already handed over his balls, since you'll be nagging him to change this, that, and everything else about him, his life, and his place. WTF can't you bitches leave us men alone, huh? Why do you insist on changing us?! Why can't you be happy with how you found us, hmmm? Again, this is a premature, self inflicted castration; don't do it! Guys, as long as you do not propose, you are in the driver's seat; you have the power, and you should keep it. Once you say those two words, "I do", then it's over for you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. He's Curbing Big Purchases&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Has your boyfriend gone from big spender to scrooge? The plasma screen TV he'd been planning to buy isn't hanging over his mantel, and instead of buying rounds of drinks at happy hour after work, he's home cooking dinner. No, he's not training for Top Chef; he's started to eliminate frivolous spending to brace for a large down payment (on your ring). And it's not just the jewelry he's saving for — he may be putting away money now so that the two of you will be comfortable well into the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me ask a few pointed questions here, okay? Why can't SHE save for her own ring, hmmm? After all, women earn their own money today, don't they? Why does the guy have to buy a shiny, overpriced, piece of stone anyway? To symbolize his love? Oh please, that just means he's surrendered his balls, and has told the entire world that he has. He's also told the world that he is stupid, stupid, stupid!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for saving money, that in and of itself doesn't mean he's getting ready to pop the question. Could it mean that, especially in today's economic environment, that a guy is preparing for the worst? Couldn't it mean that he's trying to brace for the reality that he's likely to lose his job? According to The Boston Globe, over one million men have lost their jobs in this recession, while 12, 000 more women are working. Looks like he's trying to play the odds to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I have to wonder WHY a man would put off purchasing something HE wants prior to marriage. Why would he do that?! Once he's foolish enough to say those two, little words, "I do", then that's the LAST fun he'll ever have! He won't have the freedom to buy that ATV, big screen TV, that motorcycle, or that boat he always wanted-oh no. That's because it will no longer be his money; his money will be 'our' money. Once he says "I do", then he's effectively said "I don't" to anything and everything else he likes, enjoys, and wants. Once he says "I do", it's all about her. Sorry, but them's the facts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. He's Not Complaining About Weddings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;While at a wedding together, it's more than just the usual eagerness for an open bar. He's not cracking jokes during the vow exchange — he's commenting on the couple's first-dance song choice and the meal selection. Take it as a sign that he's paying attention to all things wedding-related because matrimony is on his mind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why else would a guy go to a wedding, other than the open bar? Why? The only thing I could think of is to celebrate the demise of an enemy. What is a wedding, other than a woman's victory march over having subdued a slave for life, hmmm? You know why women want such grand weddings nowadays? Not only to 'one-up' their girlfriends, but to celebrate having gotten themselves their very own slave, that's why! Once you say "I do", you become her bitch, and Big Daddy Government is there to back her up and see to it that you're enslaved to her for as long as you're drawing breath. Whether you're with her or not, the State will make sure you work for her until you drop dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. He's Taken an Interest in Your Jewelry&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Has he been complimenting your great ability to accessorize? Snooping around in your jewelry box? Holding your hand, constantly? All kidding aside, when your favorite ring goes missing, you'll know for sure that he's trying to find a covert way to figure out your size.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WTF would a guy take an interest in her jewelry?! Why? Any guy who tries to purloin his beloved's favorite ring is a dummy! Why would he be in such a rush to surrender his freedom to some bitch who hates him as a man? Sorry, but when you're dealing with American women, the odds are that they hate you; that's what they've been taught their whole lives-to hate, fear, and suspect men. Why would you want to marry someone who hates you as a man? Why? Furthermore, why would you want to tip her off that you're willing to become her slave? When a woman sees her favorite ring missing, she's got to be jumping for joy, because she's about to have her very OWN man-slave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. He Wants to Meet the Parents&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;Okay, so he's probably already met your parents. If he hasn't and has become insistent on meeting them, it's probably for a good reason. But if he already knows them well and has become the first to RSVP for your nephew's birthday party, jumps at the chance for a weekend visit with your parents, or, even more telling, tries to plan outings for both your families to hang out together, he's ready for the next step.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't love grand?! No doubt her family is ecstatic, because it means that they're about to unload a big, pain in the ass-their daughter! Why do you think that they had dowries in the old days? Why did fathers offer dowries to prospective grooms back in the day? Because they knew that they were unloading a liability, a pain in the ass, on the hapless man, that's why! They had to give him some compensation for the lifelong troubles and burdens he was about to assume. IOW, they had to make it worth his while to live with some shrew for life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. He's Acting out of Character&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: cyan;"&gt;You know his daily routine inside and out, and any variation is enough to give you pause. If he's super-insistent that you guys do something you never do (like take a walk through a park or drive to a place to watch the sunset), he may be setting you up to speak those four little words: "Will you marry me?" After all that hard work, be sure to make it easy on him and say "yes!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, WTF is wrong with a guy doing something unusual, hmmm? I thought that today's enlightened, modern woman craved spontaneity. I thought that that was the appeal for the bad boys of the world; they're 'unpredictable and mysterious', aren't they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, is a guy wanting to marry REALLY out of character? Lawrence Shannon, in his book, &lt;i&gt;The Predatory Female&lt;/i&gt;, says that slavery is the natural condition of man; he says that men can't handle freedom; he says that this is why, in spite of all the evidence out there that marriage is a sham, that men by the droves still seek to do it. By seeking marriage, they're seeking their own slavery; indeed, they're VOLUNTEERING for it! Is it really out of character for a man to willingly lay his balls on the chopping block, just so some bitch can proudly display them on her mantle or put them in her purse? I don't think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and Ladies, if a guy proposes to you, please do him a favor, and say 'no'! He may not understand what a bullet he's dodged now, but he will in the future, believe me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those are my thoughts on the seven stupid things a man does before enslaving himself, er getting married. Remember to give American women the husband they deserve-none!

Read it and weep, People...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Read  this post to see how far we've come as far as manners and dress go. My  brother's wife, Marty, recently sent me a couple of boxes of old stuff  that she found in the attic of my parent's house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rummaging  through the boxes of mementos -- dolls, photographs, nick-nacks, books  and papers, I came across this little booklet: "Eastport (N.Y.) High  School, Student Handbook 1969-1970. It was mine when I was a senior in  high school during that school year. (This was public school, by the  way.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 14 started a chapter on "Citizenship and Manners at  School". I will print the chapter in its entirety, although is a little  lengthy, to show what was expected of public school students back then,  and to show how far we've come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CITIZENSHIP AND MANNERS AT HOME:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  five Trustees of the Eastport Board of Education were elected by the  school districts' qualified voters to govern the operation of our  school. The Principal, as educational leader of the program, holds  responsibility in the implimentation of all regulations. The Board must  require high standards of conduct and appearance if we are to create an  atmosphere within the school that will insure the best possible learning  conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While respecting individual student rights and  responsibilities, the Principal, in his traditional role, is obliged to  support and defend what furthers the "common good" and common standards  of the community. When individual behavior, action, or dress undermines  or is detrimental to these purposes and tends to negate the learning  environment of the school, such actions must be limited by the school  authorities -- board of education, and district principal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore,  in conjunction with the purposes and climate needed to conduct school  properly, the school should set reasonable standards of behavior and  dress for its students.The importance of being a good citizen at school  and elsewhare cannot be overemphasized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our school's reputation  is the responsibility of each student as he or she demonstrates habits  of citizenship and manners. The following regulations have been  developed to assist students in learning accepted standards:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Smoking is prohibited in the school building, on the grounds or on any  school sponsired trip. This habit is injurious to health and should be  discouraged, especially for young people. Enrolled students may not  carry matches or smoking materials to school or on any school trip.  Offenders will be reported to the principal for punishment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Chewing gum or candy may only be used in the Dining Hall. It is not courteous to use it in class, therefore, it is forbidden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.  Dress appropriately whenever you are at school. This evidence of  respect for your educational institution will bring rewards to all of us  in our school's reputation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BOYS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. No jeans above Grade 8.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Shirt buttons closed except top button when worn without tie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. At all socials -- shirt, tie, and suit coat are required.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Hair is to be cut to give a neat manly appearance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. If a shirt has tails, they should be tucked in pants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. One must respect himself before others will respect him. Being neat and clean generates a respect for you in others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GIRLS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Girls should give a ladylike impression; therefore slacks, shorts,  etc., are not permitted. Skirts should be suitable for school use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Makeup should be appropriate for teenagers. This means no eye makeup except at formal dances in reasonable degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Hair should be groomed to give a neat appearance; of course this means no curlers, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Large dangling earrings are not to be worn during the regular school day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If in doubt concerning proper dress, makeup, etc., please consult the school nurse-teacher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Students  should use please, thank you, and pardon me, whenever necessary. These  phrases are verbal courtesies which are an evidence of good manners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  a school which houses children in the Kindergarten as well as  elementary and upper grades, it is very important to consider the little  people. Holding doors and walking (not running) in corridors and to the  buses are essential for safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KINDERGARTEN:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upper  graders are not to go near the Kindergarten windows, at any time during  the school day. Visitors to the Kindergarten must first get a pass at  the office. Students from other grades should not use the kindergarten  playground or equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRACTICING GOOD MANNERS AT HOME:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's  no place like home for practicing good manners. A few simple rules will  make life much pleasanter for you and your family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be your own "picker-upper". Put magazines, books, and games in their proper places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't drape your clothes over chairs. Hang them where they belong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Improve your table manners. (Look for hints in this book.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't invite guests for meals or stay overnight without first getting permission from your mother and from their mothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respect the property and privacy of the other people in your family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AT A SOCIAL:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're having a party, always remember to...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See that your guests are introduced to each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure that everyone has something to do and is not left out of any games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell your best frients to be extra nice to the shy ones and those who are strangers to the group.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;If you are invited to a party...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Answer your invitation as soon as you can.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Arrive on time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Take part in any games that have been planned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Be friendly and polite to everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;INTRODUCTIONS:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It's easy to introduct people properly if you follow a few simple rules.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Introduce a man to a woman -- "Miss Jones, may I introduce Mr. Smith?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Introduce a young person to an older person -- "Mrs. Grant, this is "Sue Brown. Mr. Kean, this is Kenneth Haines."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Introduce your friends to your mother -- "Mother, this is Helen Parker and John West."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;The  same rule follows for introducing friends to your father, although you  may use the "ladies first" idea and say, "Jean, have you met my father?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Introduce everyone to a clergyman -- "Dr. Brown or Father O'Brien or Rabbi Grant, may I present my mother?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;IN PUBLIC:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It's  bad manners to link arms and walk three or four abreast on a crowded  sidewalk or to go into a huddle with your friends so that others have  trouble getting past you. Also, remember not to stare or point at anyone  and never talk or laugh so loudly that you attract attention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;THE TELEPHONE:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Don't monopolize the phone!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Other  members of your family have a right to use the telephone, too. Try to  keep your phone calls short. If you must have a long conversation, be  sure no one else has to use the phone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Keep  a pad and pencil by the telephone, so that you can write down messages  and be sure to be polite to everyone who calls. Ask if the call should  be returned and be sure to write down the name and phone number.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;TABLE MANNERS:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Whenever  possible, use the fork rather than any other piece of silver. Use the  knife only for foods which cannot be cut with a fork and the spoon only  for foods too soft to be eaten with a fork.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hold the spoon just above the center of its handle so it rests on the middle finger and is guided by the thumb and forefinger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Hold  the fork as you do the spoon when eating, and in your left hand, prongs  down while cutting. Lift food on the hollow, curved side of prongs. Use  the knife only for cutting, never to carry food to the mouth. Lay knife  and fork on the right outer rim of the plate when you're finished.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;SETTING THE TABLE:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;If  the table is set correctly, you'll have no trouble selecting the right  tool. Begin at outside and work in. 1. Napkin, 2. Salad Fork, 3. Fork,  4. Plate, 5. Knife, 6. Dessert Spoon, 7. Teaspoon, 8. Cup and Saucer, 9.  Glass, 10. Breat-and-Butter Plate, 11. Butter Knife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;DO:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Do eat slowly and quietly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Do keep your mouth closed when it contains food.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Always keep your elbows off the table.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Remove your spoon from a cup or tall dish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Always try to eat whatever you are served.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Do break bread and rolls into small pieces before buttering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;DON'T:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Don't chew with your lips open.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Don't reach across the table or in front of anyone (politely ask for anything out of reach).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Don't tuck the napkin under your chin (unfold it partially and put it across your lap).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Don't ever blow your food to cool it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Don't play with your food.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;And, in another chapter, some suggestions for successful studying:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;STUDYING:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;1. Develop regular habits of work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;2. Study at definite times each day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;3. Keep your goal in mind when you start.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;4. Review your work as you progress.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;5. Begin each day at your scheduled time. Don't wait for inspiration. Discipline yourself to work on schedule. Ideas will come.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;6. Have good surroundings for study: a quiet place to work, a table with good light, all needed equipment within reach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;7. Do only one job at a time. Let the T.V. or your family's conversation go for the moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;PREPARING FOR AN EXAMINATION:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;1. Take only those notes you will need later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;2. Analyze your own weaknesses and concentrate upon weak points first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;3.  Review sensibly. Schedule your time well. Try to see your problem as a  whole. Organize the entire subject in a logical and orderly fashion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;TAKING AN EXAMINATION:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;1. Keep cool. It's too late to fret when the examination is before you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;2. Read all questions over before answering any of them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;3.  Don't wait for inspiration on the hard questions. Begin at once on the  easy questions and let your subconscious mind do some of the preparing  for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;4. Neither hurry nor waste time. Ask the instructor for the number of minutes left, if necessary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;5. Allot time sensibly. Don't give undue attention to a question worth a few points.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;6. Read the question and be sure you understand what it says.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;7. Check your paper carefully before you hand it in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thought  provoking, isn't it?  As I said in my comment to this post, we've come a  long way, Baby-the WRONG way!

Click the link, scroll about halfway down, and you'll see it.  While you're at it,  read the other wisdom on that page.  Let's do it, Fellas (cripple the  Matriarchy and increase our knowledge &amp;amp; wisdom)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;Shutting Down The Matriarchy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;It  is pretty easy to shutdown the matriarchy, however, most men are too  addicted to pussy to actually shut it down, and because of this, they  keep the matriarchy going - chivalrous males are the worst offenders.  However, for those of you that want to know how to shutdown the  matriarchy, or even just your little section of the matriarchy here is  how:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;1. Drop out of  society. Just disappear. It is easy to do. You engage minimally as  possible with society, particularly women. The less visible men are and  contributing to society the more women have to take up the slack and  will soon burn themselves out, contributing in part to a matriarchal  shutdown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;2. Focus on  you. Work for you. Become YOU, INC. Your well being is just as important  as anybody else's, particularly women's. Can't decide between reading a  good book or going a date? Read the book instead, it is much more  benefical than spending money on a date, even if you are paying just  half of the date. The more dateless women, the more discontent the  matriarchy becomes for women, the better. Let women know, it is over for  them - remember they don't need men anymore, so let them do without.  Plus, and more importantly, you could get accused falsely of rape if you  both find each other attractive and sparks fly, and later on she feels  gulity for the one night stand, and decides to absolve herself of being a  "ho" by accusing you falsely of rape.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;3.  Support pop and mom stores. Avoid big corporations in buying your  products and services, which employ and promote women that can't even do  their jobs which further funds the matriarchy with your money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;4.  Don't be sucked into that "real man" crap, I have heard it over and  over, "A real man would be responsible and get married" or "A real man  would support a woman". All this "real man" crap is a ploy by women to  trap you into marriage and make you a matriarchal wage slave that keeps  the matriarchy going- voluntary by her using you with traditional  marriage to get you to support her and the matriarchy, and involuntary  through divorce, with the courts forcing you by police arrest and jail  to support her and the matriarchy via alimony, child support, etc. Women  have access to education and jobs better than men do these days, let  women support themselves and their cats. As mentioned in point (1)  above, this will contribute to more burned out women and discontent to  shut down the matriarchy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;5.  Legally minimize your tax burden.  Less taxes going to the government will be less money supporting the matriarchy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's  good stuff that we ALL need to be implementing in our lives, Gentlemen!   If we all do what the Mirror suggested, then we can CRIPPLE this  Matriarchy of ours real quick like-not to mention pay back all the  ungrateful bitches in America while we're at it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarkyMark&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33850719-6575634069017957555?l=markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/feeds/6575634069017957555/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33850719&amp;postID=6575634069017957555' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/6575634069017957555'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33850719/posts/default/6575634069017957555'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://markymarksthoughts.blogspot.com/2011/12/cripling-matriarchy-by-mirror-of-soul.html' title='Cripling the Matriarchy, by Mirror of the Soul'/><author><name>MarkyMark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02710045100037253902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='13' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SuB18xXQ9HA/STmKCP4GUKI/AAAAAAAAADE/ksRbt4_u0wY/S220/YA-9A.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33850719.post-2823365200825505060</id><published>2011-12-30T11:31:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T08:20:07.410-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Grow Up? Why Should I? From Boozin' with Bell</title><content type='html'>Guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a race fan.  I like racing in all its forms.  Whether  you're talking about NASCAR, F1, MotoGP, NHRA, or even lawn mowers, I  like racing!  NASCAR is big here in the States.  After the races,  nascar.com had a webcast post race show.  One of the hosts was Mike Bell,  who'd been a welcome addition to the Beau Estes &amp;amp; Nikki Alexander; when Mike Bell has joined the nascar.com post race show, it was 100% better.&amp;nbsp; Unfortunately, Jack Daniels discontinued their sponsorship of the show, so it ended right after they got it right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I did a web search for Mike Bell.&amp;nbsp; Since he worked on the Jack Daniels Post Race Show on nascar.com, that meant he had experience working in the media somewhere.&amp;nbsp; I found out that he has a radio show, Archer &amp;amp; Bell, on the Atlanta, GA radio station, &lt;a href="http://www.790thezone.com/" target="_blank"&gt;790 The Zone&lt;/a&gt;.  On the station's website, Mr. Bell also has an online blog called "Boozin' with Bell".  &lt;a href="http://www.790thezone.com/Channels/Boozinwithbell/Story.aspx?ID=1110189" target="_blank"&gt;This is one of his posts&lt;/a&gt;,  and it's about the benefits of single life contrasted with the horrors  of married life.  I found myself CRACKING UP when I read it, and I think  you will too.  Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff; font-size: 130%;"&gt;Grow Up? Why Should I?                                 &lt;/span&gt;                                &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE &amp;amp; CONTENT The big 4-0 is just a year away, but unlike many of my friends an&lt;/span&gt;                                &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                                &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;9/17/2007&lt;/span&gt;                                                                                                                                     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #33ffff;"&gt;  The big 4-0 is just a year away, but unlike many of my friends and  coworkers I am showing no signs of slowing down or growing up. This was  profoundly evident last week when I attended the Clemson-FSU game at  Death Valley. While on line to buy another Coke to mix with my Jack  Daniels minis during halftime, who do I bump into but my first college  roommate! He’s a big corporate lawyer now in The Carolinas and I don‘t  want to embarrass him by using his real name, (we’ll call him Jimmy  Tompkins of Charlotte, NC). After I got kicked out of Tallahassee in the  Spring of 87’ we’d run into each other here and there over the years.  The last time I saw him was the 1993 National Championship Game weekend  in Miami. He had just gotten engaged after receiving his big shot law  degree. Meanwhile I was working at an all 70’s format rock station and  bartending in Ft. Lauderdale. Jimmy was always Felix to my Oscar, the  voice of reason to my hair brained schemes. Tony the Mailman and I had  to twist his arm to get him to stop into the Pure Platinum gentleman‘s  club. Later that night we did a zillion shots celebrating Bobby Bowden’s  first title and closed down Baja Beach Club. When his fiancée called he  was passed out with a stripper in my guest bedroom. I explained who I  was and that Jimmy was crashing at my place and that he had food  poisoning and would call her back. You could tell that she wasn’t buying  it and was not happy he ran into me. She was even more unhappy when  Andy put me in charge of his bachelor party a year later. She put the  kibosh on that immediately. Adding that I was persona non grata at the  wedding. I advised Jimmy to break off the engagement, switch to Criminal  Defense and move to South Beach with me. I hadn’t seen nor heard from  him since. So thirteen years later sure enough there’s Jimmy with this  big woman and two pudgy kids all decked out in garnet and gold . His  wife suffers from classic Tiegs-Campbell Syndrome. (The upper body of  Cheryl Tiegs and the lower body of Earl Campbell). She had the debutante  smile with the big Charlotte hair. And an even bigger butt. Like 40  pounds of chewed bubble gum for an ass stuffed into Capri pants. “Wow  looks like you’re raising two offensive linemen huh, Jim”? I joked as I  knelt down to meet his boys. “That’s Samantha on the right” his wife  intoned. “Oops, I meant boy and girl or boyish girl”. We bullshitted for  a few minutes while his wife took the two sloth like urchins back to  their seats. “Yeah I’m still single, broke up with the 24 year old a few  months ago, just having fun in Atlanta, been doing a lot of traveling,  went to Prague last Summer”.
