Too bad you don't understand that what women see in George W is that he is a REAL MAN. He stands by his word, he loves his wife and family, he doesn't speak badly about people, and he doesn't whine if he doesn't get his way.

In other words, he's a politician.

"...what women see in George W is that he is a REAL MAN. He stands by his word, he loves his wife and family, he doesn't speak badly about people, and he doesn't whine if he doesn't get his way"

LOL....exactly why I've always said that "I LOVE this man. If we both weren't already married, I'd propose!"

He has a lot of qualities I find attractive in my own husband. I would like to add that STRENGTH, honesty and integrity are qualities they both share. IMO those qualities are very important.

However, I doubt the president has ever had to pound someone when doubling as security as well as being the ambulance driver at a concert, or had to pound someone in his capacity as bouncer, but the way GW conducted the pounding of the Taliban makes it seem they have THAT trait in common as well.

REAL men...gotta love 'em!

If I remember correctly, Tennessee_Bob had some legitimate gripes in that other thread. I don't think he (or anybody else for that matter) was expressing a "pure hatred" for women. BTW, I'm just speculating here but I suspect that thread you posted was deleted because you accused everybody in that thread of expressing "pure hatred" for women, which is an inflammatory accusation and just not true. I think the unfairness of the court system with respect to divorce and custody issues is fair game for discussion. It seems that any women can walk into a police station and destroy the life of her husband with a single false accusation of abuse. But God help the men who might have something to say about it in a public forum like this. Why they must be "women haters" according to you.

I've known you here for quite a while and I've never locked horns with you before. Your threads before today always seemed reasonable to me and I actually enjoy reading them. Evidently you have a hair across your you-know-what with this issue though! Though I admit, I also have a hair across my you-know-what with this issue because I have seen so many male friends and family members devastated by vindictive women. One close friend still cannot see his kids unsupervised by social workers (who treat him like a criminal), all this because his wife claims he slammed the door shut on her foot during an argument and swore at her in front of the kids.

I'm not saying that all the men are blameless in divorce. But to have a man denied access to his children because a door got slammed on his wife's foot? (He admits to slamming the door and swearing in anger but says she was ten feet away from the door when he slammed it.) This is just not right. For what it's worth, the argument that precipitated the slamming of the door was that the wife (after kicking him out of the house) refused to let him come into the house to pick some personal items up. Had she simply gotten him the stuff he wanted (which she had no use for), he would have left quietly. The wife was just looking to provoke a confrontation so she would have a reason to take out a restraining order against him and thus gain leverage in court. This happens all the time.

BTW, I know there are two sides to every story. But I know this side is true because I was the one who drove him to the house to get his stuff. I never saw him enter the house at anytime. He simply slammed the door, yelled a little, and got back in the car.
