Some TV writer named Nicole Silverberg recently published an article in the Guardian (yes, you may all groan now), chicksplaining to men what they need to do in order to “improve” themselves. This laundry list of femderpaherpery has me wondering if this woman will a) ever date an actual male – you know, one that actually owns a functioning set of testicles – let alone get married to one and b) ever own enough cats to fill that empty space on her bed, because no guy in his right mind will occupy that space for any length of time.
So I have a list of my own for women like Nicole, who think they’re entitled to special treatment merely because they’re sporting what they obviously believe is a golden, bejeweled vagina. Here are some ideas on how you can earn respect from those around you – both male and female.

Never heard of the Victory Girls before. Good find.
My sister grew up with four brothers. She's tough but still a woman. My daughter grew up with two very active, verbal brothers. She's very tough but still a woman. She daily has to deal with union leaders in a large industrial situation. She knows how to deal with them and they respect her toughness but also her compassion when it's needed.
There are more single child families these days, so few females ever really lived with males until they get to college. By then, it's too late for some of them to understand the difference between women and men. Especially if their mother was a raging feminist.
BN? Slow day
Made me laugh.
If you want to play the game, know the rules and play by them. I know quite a few women who do quite well.
Demanding special privileges because of where you pee is not a good way to deal with life.
“Grow a thicker skin, and don’t be afraid to throw yourself into the fray.”
Amen!
So slow the Mods fell asleep.
This has been at the top of Breaking News for an hour now.
Mods are out to breakfast, for sure. Hey, where's my bacon? :-)
They don't get special consideration for what they are or aren't. They do get special consideration because they have demonstrated that they can handle anything we've ever thrown at them with little or no supervision. I like and respect all of them equally. They may be all over the spectrum as people, but when it comes to getting the job done they share that most important trait - competence.
Judging by the imbalance between men and women seeking marriage, anyone ranting about how men can treat women better is simply delusional. Most men aren’t fretting because they can’t find a wife; that really seems to be flowing almost 100% in the other direction...
I would disagree with this one. If this is at work, being asked once is uncomfortable enough. If she's said "No" once already, DROP IT. Don't chase after her till she transfers, which is what I eventually did because a co-worker just couldn't leave me alone. (He wasn't the only reason I transferred, but getting away from him was definitely one of the bullets on my list.)

Considering the way the world has been heading lately, I’ll take a slow news day and something light for a change.
For instance, I drove over, or under, probably 15-20 bridges of some sort on my commute this morning. They all met my #1 qualification for bridges, namely, that they didn't fall when I used them. I've no idea what civil or mechanical engineer designed them, what the people looked like, race, color, creed, gender, or sexual orientation. All I know is that they worked, and I'm happy they did. If that's not a level playing field, I'm not sure what is.
The engineering field is far more black and white and it populated by nerds, often with Asperger’s types, who are terrible at reading body language (as the mother of one of these children.)
But they are brilliant and can do the job and if you can get past their quirkiness, they can be very worthwhile to have on board.
I'm with you on this one.
If it was on my radar, I would have said yes.
If there was a genuine conflict and I wanted the date, then I would have countered with taking a rain check or somehow or other indicating interest.
Though I tend to agree with you (and to be clear, read my tagline) I have a “third time’s the charm” perspective on it. That is. One “no” could mean a lot of things, two “no’s” usually means “no forever”, but if a guy is tenacious, and the good ones are, the fact that he is male and therefore doesn’t have the perceptions of a female means the woman is gonna have to explain it to him to get him to stop. It’s the way we’re wired.
The good ones, that is. Casper Milktoast will stop at one no, if he bothers to ask at all.
A female trying to tell men how to act and treat women? They wonder why increasing numbers of men are walking away from the plantation.
Opinion blogs are now breaking news? How far we have sunk.
More the exception than the rule, these days! Bravo for your remark!
