The Myth of Male Power

With all do respect to Carry_Okie, this is one of the best books I have ever read. I will forever be a masculinist.

[Carry_Okie]

Well! I guess that do tell ME how much (or little) due respect I'm due, be due, be due...

That from a stay at home dad.

[farmfriend]

I do recommend that book. If you have the time between freepin' and weedin'.

Thanks for the link. I did find this quote interesting: "A men's birth control pill is crucial to men not feeling tricked into fathering. No woman would feel comfortable with there being only a men's pill, or with being told, "you have rubbers; why do you need a pill". In Father and Child Reunion I explain why, technologically, a pill is within five years reach if we care enough politically to support the next phase of research and distribution."

And for those of us squemish men beyond the fathering years, whose mates want to snip Mr. Willy, this makes sense. And for those of us who remember or are currently engaged in the "rubber" years, this really makes sense.

Start smoking. A pack a day. Running helps too.

BUMP for later read

Can I smoke while running?

Can I smoke while running?

DUDE! TOTALLY! Actually I'm trying to get my running club to do one a them beer and smokes races, where you chug and puff at the end of every mile... First one to cross the finish line upright wins... Puking allowed...

Bwahaha, since I'm the only one in the club who smokes, and like a friggin' train, I have a pretty damn good chance of taking this one...

Now that sounds like the way I golf. Case of beer, couple of cigars, and a cart, only standing up long enough to whack the ball. By the 14th hole, standing up is optional.

Needless to say, there are always a lot of play-throughs.

Bwahaha... Dude, I think you and I would make a great team... You don't hit under 110 routinely, do ya? I like to play with folks who (for whatever reason) suck about as much as I do... I cuss alot but with sufficient substance abuse I don't really take it all that seriously, just a good time... ;)

[KLT]

Oh no....This is almost too much to bare! Mr. Porter....I'll be you are in fine health...Don't listen to the wackos, they're crazy!

[goliath]

"You don't hit under 110 routinely, do ya?" Well, yeah, I'm afraid I do. Odd thing about drunken golf, there are moments of sheer brilliance. Must have something to do with being relaxed off the tee.

[maxwell]

Well, yeah, I'm afraid I do.

Sorry dude, yer out... I got to find someone who hits about a 115-120, NOT counting mulligans... ;) (I am remarkably untalented.)

One of the most telling parts of the book talk about the life expectancy rates. We often hear how medicine is directed at men not women but in the 20's the life expectancy rate was nearly the same, now there is a 20 year difference. If the medicine is directed at men shouldn't they be living longer?
