Let me Ditto those sentiment Social Butterfly and Alycedale. The political and environmental condition of the world today says it all. Men have literally fucked up the planet.

Take the recent Boston bombing for example. It is a man caused and man made thing.

Tamelan was content to live off the welfare of this country but the minute he had trouble with his female companion he looked to religion to give him power over her he could not have otherwise.

He hated a government that would not recognize the power islam gave him over the female.

Our republican (male) controlled government makes it easy for anyone to get a gun or for the government not to have the power to tag gun powder or do background checks yet rail about a “missed” opportunity by the FBI to stop those two narcissistic males.

Only males go around believing that their personal grievances entitles them to hurt any innocent bystander because their imagined needs are not met.

Men justify putting a bomb in front of an innocent child because…. fill in the blank.

Men justify putting an automatic weapon with high capacity magazines in front of innocent children because….fill in the blanks.

It will take women replacing men in those leadership positions to reverse those idiotic situations. And as you both said NOT women emulating those idiotic positions, but women who are who they are.

Alycedale I totally agree with your statements. Specifically

“She like them has accepted that man is the be all to emulate. If I met her I would ask her why she feels that women should be copying men, and when did she arrive at it that that was a good thing to do?”

Men are really not to be emulated. It’s all domination to them. If women continue to go along with the male agenda humanity is pretty much doomed IMHO.

Why is it always assumed that men that go out with the boys from time to time don’t pull their weight at home, and likewise grant their wives a night out with the girls just as often?

The assumptions made about men, combined with the standards feminist misinformation (wage gap 75c this time, 77c at other times, sometimes80c) and the refusal to acknowledge feminists own role in much of this (claiming women’s work is devalued, when it is feminists who did, and continue to do so. Why does ones contributions need to have a taxable paycheck in order to be of value to the family?) is disheartening

I admire Sheryl Sandberg and her success. However, I feel that she may mislead women into thinking they can have it all. For example, she tells women to not make sacrifices for children they don’t even have yet.

Alycedale, as usual you take a direct approach to an issue. I agree with your assessment. As a working woman who runs her own business with more than 400 employees, I see the meaning of her “Lean In” advice.

I don’t think woman are nicer by nature, but more by socialization. I was not raised to be gentle and nice, and I am not. I have always been presented with work entanglements in which men were the majority, and it felt like they were the enemy the whole time, with their dirty jokes(on other woman, not me).

Their never ending sports silly small talk. And their teaching attitude towards women, let me show you dear, how this is done, in a very couple like play.

The biggest excuse for other women to accept this advice is the statement that her advice comes from recognizing the world as it is not a as it should be. I say every big change came from someone who said enough or it can be better. So I agree with you Alycedale. If women want it to change, they will have to change it because men are happy the way it is.
