#1 In the business world nowadays you're likely to see a fair amount of harassment initiated by women against men, and in certain environments (e.g. insurance companies, banks, etc.), this can be extreme and overwhelming. You'll not be likely to see much argument by men who want to keep their jobs, but if you've got idiots like me who complain, well you're up against city hall.

#2 "In the United States men seldom compliment women."

Truer today than Alexis would have figured. I can count on one hand the number of compliments I've dished out to women in the past twenty years, none of them in the corporate workplace. It's entirely defensive in nature - I don't need some vindictive psycho broad coming after me and ruining whatever reputation I have. I will not consciously put myself in that fucking prone position.

#3 "In the United States men seldom compliment women."

My wife's cooking is well complimented. Beyond that, I generally avoid eye contact. Rag nailed it.

#4 The most important thing to remember about modern feminism is that it's dominated by a handful of bitches who envy and hate men - because they can never be men.

#5 One of my distant cousins recently mentioned on her FB page being upset with some aspect of the "male gaze". I guess I won't ever bother to attempt to meet her.

#6 One of my distant cousins recently mentioned on her FB page...

FB is something akin to a daily and very public PSA screening without the doctor.

#9 C.S. Lewis famously noted that the truly progressive individual will admit when he’s taken a wrong turn, will turn around, and then look to the past to see where he has gone wrong. Is this what we need to do in regard to male-female relationships?

Today, the left never does this. Instead, their talking points go into the echo chamber of the MSM and rattle around.

I don't happen to believe this statement Why Men and Women Can No Longer Be Friends--maybe this is true in the perverted and distorted reality of the left but not in many other places such as flyover land.

#10 "When you understand women let me know", is a comment I get now and then. My normal response is "women don't understand women either".

#12 liberal men and liberal women maybe. The red states seem to be doing okay.
