(256 posts)I mean, we fellows make a full $1 for ever $0.75 women.
We fricken make the God damn wars that kill us.
Men control the media, the big companies, the small companies, the medium companies, the 5-dimensional companies that project a part of their 4th-dimensional shadow into our 3rd-dimensional realm.
Yeah... that 5th-dimensional CEO is a guy, too.
I've met his projection.
I mean, I could go on and on.
Heck, even in the most poorest societies, the men are on top.
I'm not buying this.
We guys have issues, but being on the top of every society in the world (don't waste my or anybody's time with some one-off exception...) we don't need some special day for our issues like that. It's an insult to everybody else with real problems... like earning $0.75 for every $1 we get... on a good day.
I'll tell you what: let's just start threads about the real problems we're dealing with.
Like how some fellows are mentally (sometimes --- I'm pretty sure rarely -- physically) abused by their wives and how law enforcement provides no help.
PS:
I definitely know about the mental abuse.
And about physical abuse: married fellows are like 25% bigger then the ladies they marry.
Often times she can't expect to dent us just because of our fat alone.
But mental abuse can be quite corrosive.
It can slowly crush anybody... and a marriage can provide a serious trap. Some fellows don't realize what had happened to them for years. And when they try to seek help, they hear things like "Man up!" and shit like that.
On the physical side, it goes to an interesting conundrum, I think.
Most regular fellows wont strike a lady.
Even if she slaps him. Even if she hits him.
It's part of our core upbringing.
It is the rare lady (I want to believe) that goes as far as that.
But think, for a fellow in that situation, he can't talk to his friends, usually. ("Man up, dude!"
Can't talk to the police. ("Man up, dude!"
Can't talk to his doctor...
Can't mention it to any lady he knows. ("Wuss! Man up!" or "He probably deserved it."
If the cops take any action, they are likely to assume that he is the abuser and that she is just fighting back. ("You horrible person!"
We don't need some "Internalization day for fellows" thing.
I know any fellow that had to divorce his wife had issues that were quite serious.
Women who were abusive to their children.
Women who are control freaks.
Women who were mentally abusive.
Cheating.
You see?
Come on... let's go and start threads to deal with our real problems.
