119. Yes, I think that tends to piss a lot of men off... They can't handle that they're not well...

necessary for the survival of the female half of the species. They seem to think this is a new turn of events in the existence of humans, but the truth is that females have managed to pretty much do just fine without men for the most part since time began.

I don't know why this particular sector of males take it all so seriously and self-victimize; whining, moaning and sobbing, and sadly worse when it comes to criminal events...

Maybe that's a good question to pose for discussion; why do so many men resort to violence when it turns out they're not welcomed within a family unit? I wonder if it's because they feel so powerless when the female has 'replaced' them with another partner (or opted to be single)? Basically why can't this sector of males control themselves and not kill women and children, and just deal with it like they're civilized humans, ffs?

Argh.

I agree that MaggieD's statement is a broadbrush, but as a female sports fan, ScreamingMeemie May 2015 #28

I agree many sports boards are not female friendly FLPanhandle May 2015 #33

As a man, I have no idea why I would want to participate in a "Men's Group" FLPanhandle May 2015 #30

There *are* legitimate Men's groups, as opposed to the designated hate groups that are MRAs ismnotwasm May 2015 #38
