- Brilliant, the chance in a lifetime!!!! (heh heh). Couldn't agree more
- with you Desiree. Now the 'natural' double standards that I'm thinking
- of are mens desire to do the business with as many babes as possible,
- their natural desire for male bonding - shooting the shit with not a
- wmoen around to kick up a fuss, their desire to get smashed on a
- Saturday night and round it off with a good punch-up, their natural
- desire to say "Hey baby, it's not me that wanted a kid!", their
- natural desire to watch sports morning, noon and night with a case of
- beer and some good buddies and no women around.
-
- No you may argue (as I'm sure you will) that I'm talking through my
- arse, but I can honestly say, that the final two lines of your post
- above, is the most sensible and liberating piece I've ever read. Does
- this mean that you women are becoming more understanding and tolerant
- of us poor, slaves to our (natural) instincts, men?

- Ah, a feminist acknowledging that the world is not equal - great, does
- that mean that they're all going to stop winging and give us guys a rest
- now?

- Yeah, unfortunately for (some) guys, there's this real strong urge to
- play bury the ferret with the female of the species, unfortunately,
- the Good Lord did not think to provide us guys with a modicum of
- protection, to wit stencilling 'Ballbreaker' on the heads of certain
- females. Ah well, slaves to fortune we are, but do we complain? Never!
- Onward, ever onward boys!
-
- Well, if they believe we're all male chauvinistic pigs and nothing
- seems to be able to change they're minds, we might as well say sod it
- and not worry about it - they're the ones who appear to be miserable
- all the time, have you ever met, seen, or heard of a happy feminist?
