I'm deeply unoffended.

I completely agree with the First Lady.

you are entitled to yours.

Now everyone is disappointed twice as much....

Though one does suspect that is deliberate, as you seem stuck in the rut of this little game you signed up to play....

I missed the other half of your back and forth with "Name Removed."
My imagination found it entertaining.
As for women being smarter than men... well duh!

And I agree with our First Lady, too.

is vast

There is nothing worse than the sound of man whining, especially when he is trying to pass himself off as both all puffed up with manliness and deeply injured by unfair treatment.

"Who the hell ever told you things were fair? Not my old man."

You a special little snow-flake, ain'tcha?

and the lack of women in government until very recent times, I think she is absolutely right.

Women in the US have been given freedom and equal rights, and look how they are excelling. It's amazing what women can do.

As obvious as it may be.

As if I am a spokesman for women. LOL
I am just man and not a very bright one at that.

"Anyone who confuses legal and political equality with identity of talents and character has never thought for two minutes consecutively about either thing."

You are being kept on for amusement. Everyone understands you signed up to troll the thing, and that since you are keeping just a hair within the lines, no one has taken the trouble to alert and have your account shut off, though I expect it will be fairly soon.

"This pretense of not knowing what everybody knows has come to dominate political discourse in our country today."

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Creepy post in a safe haven.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Aug 6, 2014, 06:48 PM, and the Jury voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation:

MIRT and Admins:

He joined to spout MRA talking points today. The 'many feminists hate men' is incorrect and and a slur.
'
Posts are textbook 'Concern Trolling' and 'Just Asking Questions.'

Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT

Explanation: Bye troll

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: Seems like a reasonable observation, hardly "creepy." IIRC, safe havens can just ban people. See: Gun control activism and their Legion of the Banned.

Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT

Explanation:
Tis not the place to be voicing such views

Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT

Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT

Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Explanation: No explanation given"

The only question that remains is whether DU delivers vegetarian or meat-lovers pizza. I'm sure they don't use a GOP vendor.

"Reasonable observation"? Dafuq?

But did he listen?

Don't tell me they don't lie in wait!


And why, with his Name Removed, does he have a twenty percent chance of jury service????

I'll tell ya, if Skinner or EarlG could do a search of passwords, I'll bet they'd find socks/trolls/zombies, all with the same passwords (it's hard to remember lots of different passwords, I'd imagine someone sock-ing it would use the same one for all accounts).

This one signed up today, its first post was in this thread.

Superb exchange between you and Monsieur Name Removed--I only saw half of it, but I enjoyed your side of it enormously!

Vallance) NOT by John Mellencamp, as the Youtube graphic shows.

not you)

equality when it comes to "smartness," is another.

huge point of difference there.

As a male, I agree with Mrs. Obama

nice to hear her saying it like it is

I have no idea why she would make a comment like that. Not only is it ridiculous on its face, but it can only cause unnecessary problems PR-wise. Of course, you can't unring a bell, so I guess it's out there now.

they hate truth. Luckily they have Fox News who will fix it.

removing the numerical advantage, there are more smart women than there are smart men. My wife is smarter than I am but I am far more humorous. She would, of course, disagree.

I grew up watching British comedy, so I tend to have a very dry delivery.

Will probably happen by tomorrow.

You women don't realize...
Testicles are like, real heavy to drag around all the time, ya' know?
It's a lotta' work.

OK, so pullin' all that weight around lowers the IQ a couple dozen points---- so what?

We MEN know the political answer to every question---WAR!!

See how well it's working around the world?!!



Without men in politics, the world would be so dull---No wars,
no mistresses for every politician and
wealthy donor, no crying for forgiveness with the little wifey
standing loyally in the back, while press bulbs flash.

Women would be like all serious and boring and stuff, and maybe actually
want to do the job of, ugh, serving The People.
My God.

We can't have that.

And dying.

I'd have to see her facial expression when she said it but her husband often has the same sense of humor.

Said with one palm skyward and an eye roll.

For how many thousands of years did men pretend that women were less intelligent, and now, finally we get to show that we are at least just as smart, and some men can't understand why were are prouding and laughing at them.

A man who takes this seriously probably really is less intelligent than most women.

It's OK to say that one race is smarter than the other if you follow it with a hearty har har har? I'm thinking not.

It may be generational. It was a big thing way back in the radio days. Remember Gracie Allen, Lucille Ball, etc. It preceded feminism. It's an old joke.

what you mean. I've always considered that man bashing and never liked it. I don't consider men to be likeable buffoons and I don't expect to be considered a less intelligent because I'm a female.

...she's not entirely incorrect.

And gives you exactly what you are worth by way of answer.

"You have obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a shit what you think."

I'd offer up some cheese with that whine, especially since from the post count and number of comments in this set of threads, it looks like he signed up just to complain about this one issue.

And it is also damned funny....

Of course, if you are it that may complicate the thing somewhat....

Since you're the only one agreeing with yourself here, you must be a solipsist, and the rest of us are merely figments of your imagination.

You really deserve to be all lit up, on stage....

"Jokes are of two sorts: those which are funny always, and those which are funny once."

Joan of Arc, the Amazons, and Lyudmila Pavlichenko are far outnumbered by the men who fought in wars, sometimes just for honor or glory. That doesn't speak well for men. World War I alone had a very high stupidity quotient.

And that is why we need to see more women football coaches.

Me not get it.

Again you disappoint....

"What a nimrod! What a ultra-maroon!"

I have my opinion based on years of experience and this is not a debate that you will win

That will be worth going to look up....

This is not going to end well....

"It could be true

Just like it's also true that many women are feminists because they had negative experiences with men over the course of their lives. However, neither gives anyone the right to make generalizations of large groups of people based on a few negative experiences, whether it's men or women, whites or blacks, or whoever else. Agreed.....?"

too bad.
Have a nice stay.

The Magistrate is being nicer than most of us.

Honestly, how could you resist playing with this....

You're right.

In our case, it was crab patties we were cooking. Ribs sound good, too.

[link:

Any woman who has been married for 20+ decades knows this. lol How do you think we managed this long? Sorry, male DU'ers. It is a female secret.

Damn. Im more interested in how you stayed alive than how you stayed married.

Every comment must create an epic shit-storm of dog-piling internet justice!

that women are smarter than men but I do believe that they are less likely to overreact to aggression than men. Women have for centuries been told they were "less than" or even subordinate to males and still they continue to be the nurturers and heads of most families. I blame religion for these attitudes for the most part. I also think that more and more women are less likely to vote Republican these days than ever before. The GOP has gone too far with the anti-woman rhetoric and I think it will cost them dearly - at least I hope so.

Peace

Some say she was joking and the making of the DUers responding agree with her and thinks she was serious. I wonder how those same people would react if a republican had said the opposite?

agree.

But it's okay. A woman said it about men.

And to anyone who thinks it is amusing or even clever one way and offensive the other way, pull your head out of your ass. You are a hypocrite.

How would a man be able to get up and face the day after suffering such devastating ... whatever....

"Jesus, grow a pair!"

Here is the thing in a nut-shell:

The group that is on top does not get to complain. Full Stop. About anything.

And when members of it do, it's just funny as all hell.


Now if you want to try and make an argument that men are not on top in our culture and society, by all means, proceed....

You think facts change with position in culture and society, which is laughable. Your reasoning is highly flawed.

So an individual from an ethnic minority can call someone from the ethnic majority a racial slur, and in your world the person who has been offended has no right to complain.

If that is not the height of inane, I don't know what is.

If I need to "grow a pair," you need to grow something in your skull.

I would feel an urge to laugh, and even a little pity, though if it seemed necessary, I would do something more sudden than most anyone would expect from a mild-mannered older gentleman....

Can't play this "double standards" card all the time when the two sides are on opposite sides of truth.

Your subsequent comment paints quite a black and white picture, namely "the two sides are on opposite sides of truth." So one side is always wrong and the other always correct?

would look completely different.

who thinks she was being totally sarcastic?
