#2 The ancient Greeks believed their wombs made them crazy - hysteria comes from hystera, the Greek word for uterus. I'm starting to suspect they may have been on to something.

#4 When good men like Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.) give heartfelt, sincere speeches about how we must listen to women,

You know how you read certain articles, then you come upon that one sentence which discredits the whole damn thing instantly? Here it is.

#5 I yelled at my husband last night. Not pick-up-your-socks yell. Not how-could-you-ignore-that-red-light yell. This was real yelling. This was 30 minutes of from-the-gut yelling.

When women do it they get press time.
When men do it they get jail time.

#6 Repeal the 19th Amendment.

#7 Sure ladies! Just as soon as you stop rewarding disruptive male behavior, it will come to a stop. The day that the badboys and rule breakers sob at home alone and the quiet respectful men get all the hot chicks will be the final victory of feminism.

But this will never happen. Feminists have tons of ideas about how men should change, but no thought to themselves.

#8 Feminism is the death of the western industrialized world.Declining populations occurring now. Men refusing to marry or date. The peaceful single life for many men. I don't know the numbers but I am seeing this trend in my local community. The women I see have three kids on average with different men. Single fighting for child support or any help they can be given.Selling drugs or doing prostitution. Drunk night out now and then alone using Taxis to get about. Working two jobs stressed out. Wanting drama then hating drama. On one pill or another. Prone to take the speed route. Reflecting on this it seems the Muslim men have it right. They have the large families. They have the submissive wives. Well, so it seems as reported. Oops!, media can't report the truth anymore. Seeing the results is proof enough for me.

#9 I should add that men who import women to marry are finding this trend; within a year a child is born, she leaves and he must pay child support. They learn the American way.

#10 I fear this entire women empowerment thing was overdone.

Female privilege. From the start of the old republic the franchise and militia responsibility were pretty tight in a Venn Diagram overlap. The 19th Amendment broke that. The franchise needs to be restricted to those with skin in the game. Doesn't mean they have to serve anymore than the general population of men, but all must enroll in 'unorganized militia' to attain the franchise. If anyone is called to active duty but fail to comply, stripped of the franchise.

#12 I laugh at this whole "Listen to Women!!" screech.
It's as dishonest as all the rest of their crap.

We do listen....we just don't agree.

Say what you mean "ladies", "OBEY THE WOMEN!!"

Just like the rest of the proggie left.

#16 The problem is "equal outcome expectation" not military service.

#19 Men have been married to nags ever since marriage was invented. Everybody remembers Socrates. We don't talk much about Xanthippe.

#25 "Marriage. Why men build bars."
That was funny.

Basically with all this misogyny the feminists are treating all many as a single unit. It's similar to racism and its wrong. Men process our emotions and communicate differently. Not incorrectly, differently. Accept that and learn to work within the guidelines of that and you'll be happier, fight it and you'll become a harpy screaming impotently into the wind.

#26 My husband of 50 years did not have to stifle a laugh. He took it dead seriously. He did not defend his remark, he did not defend men. He sat, hunched and hurt, and he listened. For a moment, it occurred to me to be grateful that I’m married to a man who will listen to a woman. The winds calmed ever so slightly in that moment. And then the storm surge welled up in me as I realized the pathetic impotence of nice men’s plan to rebuild the wreckage by listening to women.

So he failed your shit test and you despise him even more.

You can listen all you want, but that will not create one iota of change.

Then I guess there's no point in listening, is there?

Pay attention people: If we do not raise boys to walk humbly and care deeply, if we do not demand that men do more than just listen, we will all drown in the flood.

"Castrate your sons!"

Repeal the 19th? Hell, we need to institute purdah.

And I almost feel sorry for her husband, but then I remembered that he was dumb enough to marry this feckless fronthole and stay married to it.

#28 Somehow, I doubt the author's entire "married woman" framework she uses as a vehicle for her story.
