I never mind with whatever people said about me, even it could hurt me a lot. It's OK, I can handle my temper. Anyhow, you were totally wrong for mentioning me a CRAWLER--I did not have any intention to please anyone else, I just told the truth. (Lurker, in this case, I have to say, telling the truth or saying the truth?). I am a bit worried about your correction. lol

Hi Pipii,
To tell the truth, I misspelled the term 'kerb-crawler' -a person driving slowly along a road in search of a prostitute. Needless to say, my remark was targeted at nobody, as I considered /and still do/ everybody on the forum as a member of a big family where the younger have the same right to voice their opinion as the pterodactyls like me and say, Lurker.
To Jamie /confidential/: Enjoyed your video, especially the moments of revelation /for me, at least/ that cigar/cigarette is subconsciously associated among men with penis, and the process of smoking /smoking what?../ is to demonstrate men's power and sense of superiority.
Respect.

Will you find it a true-to-life story:
...There is such a thing as benevolent sexism, they argue. Every day, women suffer acts of "micro-aggression" in the form of compliments from men, offers of help and expressions of concern. The benevolent sexist will pick up the tab for dinner on a first date, help a woman whose car has broken down, or offer his seat on a crowded train, assuming his own superiority.
...
When few men in their study accept the concept of benevolent sexism, they conclude smugly, "We expect this outcome because of men's higher status in society and the corresponding great interest in maintaining this status."

Strictly speaking, though, they are right. Paying for a first-date dinner does establish a power relationship: he is showing her that he will decide who will pay for what. Helping women with a car or a computer or heavy bags does assume a weakness on their part.

All the same, it is an odd and cynical perspective which sees benevolence as a tool of repression. In a world where women suffer from real violence and exploitation, where salary levels remain at a significantly lower level for female employees than male, where the effects of unemployment are also serious skewed by gender, it seems perverse and counter-productive to conduct solemn research into behaviour which is essentially propelled by that most underrated virtue, kindness.
...
For all their earnest talk of empathy, Becker and Swim have lost sight of that quality while studying new paths of sexism. It is by behaving decently, thoughtfully and with humour towards one another that humans make everyday life bearable. Sometimes they get it wrong, revealing outdated attitudes as they open a door, give up a seat, or offer to carry something. Acts of generosity are misunderstood, compliments backfire, and jokes flop. But because the general direction is towards kindness, these things are rarely lethal.

A world in which men are forever checking their attitudes and women are scrutinising the smallest gesture made towards them in case it contains a covert insult would be a cold and humourless place. A few micro-aggressions are a price worth paying.

Remember the pictures of those poor deluded women burning their bra's. Marching around with their breasts swinging like roof tilers nail bags.....thinking they are the new suffragettes . IMO one of the biggest cons of modern times was Feminism.
Motive = to undermine the family and replace it with the big brother nanny state awash with single parent family's funded by multiple part time jobs on the minimum wage...and social fund. Feminism is racism against men

Lurker, it looks so weird if you viewed that Feminism is a racism against men. Your opinion can lead to the conclusion that Feminism could be a very serious threat for men. Do you want to show that actually Men are so weak against the "monstrous" women?. In my opinion, Feminism is just a form of females' defense, it never becomes males' threat. In fact, the serious threat for Men is their own big ego,..:P
