They’ve arrived although the ringleader apparently hasn’t rolled out of bed yet. Revisit the thread.
OK, I revisited the thread. 90% of it is women bashing. I don’t think it is illogical for Freeper women to be irritated by a thread that is 90% women bashing. That’s all I am saying. There are always a few extremists on either side of the discussion. There are always troublemakers. I mean, we have guys here saying all women are bats__t crazy. The misogyny on this thread kind of invites the response.
Now don’t get me wrong. This is normal human nature. Guys in a bar are going to be ragging on women generally due to the high frustration level. Just like any group of only women are going to rag on guys. It is normal human nature.
The problem comes when we use a public forum like we are sitting in a bar ragging on women. It becomes public and of course they are going to push back.
“Can’t live with them, can’t live without them” sums up the entire life experience of the battle of the sexes and has for eons. There is a lot of frustration level. At least in the olden days, they often avoided the mixing because all the guys would be in one room smoking cigars where the women couldn’t over hear them griping about women, while the women were all knitting over tea in the parlor griping about the men. And so the intermingling didn’t happen all that much and our groups could gripe while preaching to the choir.
I don’t see anything on this thread that isn’t human nature and hasn’t been going on since ancient Egypt ruled the known world.
Other than that, the author is right. For a lot of men, it just makes little sense to marry today. That applies for a lot of women too. They can make a good living and not have a guy pawing at them for sex every night.
It is a miracle men and women get along at all. But we do and it is fantastic whenever it works.
