I'm a Man and I must say, the majority of us are assholes. There I said it

[trumad]

Please--- Men are systematically destroying the world we live in and thats a fact. We're a bunch of God Damn Apes who think that we can plow down anything that stands before us. Women--the environment, and on and on...

Oh sure there's a few of us who are pretty decent--- but as I look around at this crazy ass world we inhabit--- it's the men fucking it up.

[slackmaster]

1. You can see our simian territorial behavior especially when driving

I really hate aggressive, rude people.

[Carni]

70. I don't want to defend YOU MEN but...

There are quite a few women who REALLY drive like assholes...I find that bad driving and rude road behavior doesn't seem to be gender specific!

[niyad]

2. fortunately, there are men (including you) who do see that testosterone

is THE single most toxic substance on earth, and are working to be part of the solution, instead of being part of the problem. We welcome our brothers who see, who know, who care, and who are willing to stand with us.

[trumad]

3. That's right----

You hit it right on the head.

[Danieljay]

42. the testosterone myth...

Ok, go have your hormones tested. I just did (my gf is a specialist). She said my testosterone levels are way above normal for most 41 year old males and I'm no war monger. Testosterone might give you drive and muscle tone but it doesn't necessarily make one an asshole. There are women out there right now that have just as much testosterone as some men and they aren't necessarily trotting off to war.

[Just Me]

67. When we stop blaming hormones, we might get somewhere.

Maybe.

On the other hand, we must also acknowledge the "hard-wiring" associated with aggression and other behaviors, too.

If we stop ACTING like we are perfect or superior and commit to bettering ourselves and eachother, we may explode forward in peace and possibilities.

Maybe.

[Kali]

4. eh, I see a lot of females driving SUV's too.

Unless you were refering to men as in mankind, aka humans, people, homosapiens etc etc

[slackmaster]

10. Females have some testosterone too

And it's a damn good thing they do. ;-)

[Kali]

18. yeah, I have been described as having more balls than a lot of men

and I took it as a compliment.

[Yupster]

64. Agree Kali

Most men are probably assholes. Most women too.

We're not the nicest of species.

Though I guess ants would be even worse if they ruled the world.

[mongo]

69. Thanks.

Most men are probably assholes. Most women too.

I think that says it all...

[yurbud]

5. unfortunately a lot of the women who run for office share our

weaknesses. Not the farting and scratching, but the more serious ones.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. My husband says much the same thing

eom.

[MuseRider]

13. So does mine. n/t

[mdmc]

7. lol... sing it, sista!

I'll give you :kick: and a "R" for your masculine ability to tell the truth...:kick:

[Armstead]

8. Popcorn anyone?

:popcorn:

Ah Trumad, you can always be counted on to liven things up around here.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. I would agree with you but then some guy will post that most women

are bitches. And that's not true at all. :)

[rinsd]

14. Of course most women aren't...all of them are.

:sarcasm:

:hide:

[niyad]

34. why, thank you kindly. I proudly wear a button that reads, "I am not A

bitch, I am THE bitch, and to YOU I am MS. BITCH"

proud member of heartless bitches, inc. (contrary to popular opinion, it is NOT my homepage)

[trof]

24. OK, flame bait, but...

I do seem to see more females on celphones in SUVs.
Swerving lanes.
Just a personal observation.

I remember when there were five things you could do in a vehicle:
1. Have sex.
2. Talk to your passenger.
3. Listen to the radio.
4. Get food.
5. Drive.

[Catherine Vincent]

32. They're mostly republican women that do that.

[trof]

35. Probably right.

Pun intended.
;-)

[northofdenali]

56. ARGH

I DRIVE A DAMN JEEP OKAY?

I am NOT a republican. I do NOT talk on cellphones if I am driving. I do NOT have a "support our troops" ribbon on my bumper. I DO use my much-hated-by-the-self-righteous little 4-wheel drive in driving situations and areas they not only have never attempted, but would probably kill them if they did. THERE ARE REASONS TO HAVE AN SUV, FOLKS.

/end rant.

On edit: catgirl, I wasn't ranting at you. The SUV thing just caught me at the time I was reading your post! :hi:

[Hardrada]

43. Sometimes all five at once if you brought along lunch.

Maybe smoke a reefer too. First.

[Just Me]

11. Well, I embrace every man who is decent and progressive, like you!!!

:hug:

I'll never become a "man-hater" just 'cause there are those who oppress and exploit others,...ALL OTHERS (not just women).

[queenbdem87]

12. yeah!

If being a gay man is voluntary, as the repukes say, I sure am a masochist!

[frustrated_lefty]

15. Self-castration is the only answer then, no?

[warrior1]

16. I'm a woman and I must say, a lot of women

are assholes too.

[katty]

amen to that

[Fridays Child]

17. Amen! You speak truth to power.

[MichiganVote]

19. Yup. You pretty much summed it up. No disagreement from me.

[cali]

20. Not true

I hate these false dichotomies. I've always thought that the whole men are from blah blah and women are from some place else was bullshit. I'm not sure the world would be a better place with women in power. It's about individuals, not gender.

[SPKrazy]

21. I Would Have To Say I Agree With You

I'm a man. I didn't ask to be a man. I'm not ashamed to be a man. I am embarrassed by the way a lot of men think and act. I don't get it.

I don't like to hang around with a lot of men. I'm not effeminate. I just don't like the things that a lot of men like. I don't like working on cars (of course if I did, I'd probably save a lot of money), I don't like hunting. I semi-like fishing. I don't drink anymore. I just don't enjoy the company of most men.

So I agree that there is something wrong with a lot of men in this world.

[Lorien]

61. You sound just like my best friend of 26 years

another not-in-the-least-bit effeminate man who just doesn't "get" a lot of other men. He often finds himself shaking his head and saying "I'm so embarrassed for my gender".

He has a lot of female friends, though-and we just adore him!

[katty]

well, your gender statistically speaking, keeps getting drunk on

power and control.

[Hardrada]

30. True, I am uneasy with the crudeness of so many fellow males

but I have learned it is important to be progressive and understanding. And I am going to liberate women whether they like it or not!!

[katty]

33. hey, go for it!

[sandnsea]

22. You're just trying to impress women

If we didn't kick spit and bribe you to do MORE MORE MORE, I think you'd all be content to sit in a cave, grill meat ribs and tear it off with your teeth, nothing else necessary. :)

Humans are complicated, women fight differently than men and over different things, but we create our share of shit too.

[LincolnMcGrath]

28. Meat Good!

lol :hi:

[katty]

36. good point!

[Inland]

48. Shhhhhhhhhhh! Yes, that's what he's trying to do,

but it proves the point anyway! So it's all good!

[Danieljay]

23. Buck up man & get your ass to a Promise Keepers meeting before you lose

yourself altogether! Dude, get hold of yourself. What are ya, a GIRLY man? Geez.

:sarcasm:

[Warren DeMontague]

25. It's humans in general I can't stand, mostly.

I'm totally ready to move to the moon.

[David Zephyr]

26. It certainly isn't the women who are causing all of the woes of the world.

Trumad, we agree.

Women, please take over before there's nothing left.

[Danieljay]

27. I'm in charge only until my gf puts on her "When I'M in charge" glasses

Then, I'm all hers! Can't help myself. Actually, we are pretty egalitarian, but Damn, that woman makes the socks roll up and down my legs when she takes charge. She lets me pretend I am in charge now and then to humor me.

[Cleita]

29. Well, don't be that hard on yourself. That's because no one

has pulled you guys down a peg or two in the last four thousand years. That's why you think you are all so entitled.

I have a theory, that until men allow women the equality and same opportunities and freedom that men have, you will never have a peaceful society. I truly believe that all the problems in the Middle East, South America, Africa and now us is because there are gender, class and racial imbalances in society that needs to be corrected. Correcting the gender imbalance alone would be a good start toward correcting the other two problems.

Have you noticed that ever since Europe has been on the path of true democracy for everyone and now that their women are pretty much achieving an equal status and economic footing, they have been peaceful and progressive societies with solid economies emerging from them?

Ireland is the latest example. Even forty years ago the Irish treated their women like milkmaids and nothing better. But a new feminism and a break with the iron rule of the Catholic Church has made Ireland so prosperous that people of Irish decent whose parents had emigrated in the last century are moving back.

[earth mom]

31. My dad used to say the same thing all the time!

He died almost 5 years ago and he would no doubt be thoroughly disgusted with the state of this country and the men in office who are responsible! :(

[neuvocat]

37. I'm sure that most men would agree with you...

but they all think that they're in that slim majority that you mentioned.

[EFerrari]

38. I don't know. Have you seen this woman?

:)

[Inland]

47. I was wondering about you for just a second.

The baby in the sig line loaded first for me.

[EFerrari]

53. Lol! And get a load of that baby.

:)

Edit: That's DUer and election reform hero Andy Stephenson, in all his naked glory, adorning a sink.

[misanthrope]

39. If you're referring to the species...

...I would generally agree with you.

If you're referring singularly to the male sex of homo sapiens, then I would suggest you take a few anthropology classes.

[RagingInMiami]

40. Behind every asshole man

Is a cold bitch.

[LincolnMcGrath]

44. You went there didn't you!

:rofl:

[Just Me]

51. But, she is one sick bitch!!!

She even admitted it!!! AND her "beautiful mind" avoids acknowledging reality.

Please PLEASE do not smear womanhood with this female's freakishness. Please. :silly:

[RagingInMiami]

65. I'm not trying to smear womanhood

I just notice that people tend to find their perfect mate. The ruthless bitch will always find herself with the power-hungry man. And she becomes a driving force behind him.

On the other hand, a compassionate man will (hopefully) wind up with a compassionate women, and they will inspire each other.

[katty]

55. behind every great man - is often, an even greater woman

and I'm not talking about the likes of Laura Bush...Eleanor Roosevelt comes to mind.

[Pale Blue Dot]

41. I agree totally. nt

[Arugula Latte]

45. You'll get no argument from me.

Since I've been an adolescent, I've pretty much had the working assumption that the majority of men are that way until proven otherwise. Luckily there are plenty of exceptions (I'm married to one), but when I look at how many men are completely self-absorbed, selfish, egomaniacal, cocky, arrogant, etc. etc., my basic assumption hasn't changed much. :(

[Inland]

46. Good thing we're bigger and have all the money! nt

[slackmaster]

52. No, females have HALF the money and all the...

...never mind.

[Inland]

59. Damn.

Makes me wanna PUNCH somebody!

[sandnsea]

60. Which eventually gives us ALL the money

and ALL the power. Bwahahahaha!! :evilgrin:

[Inland]

63. Damn Damn! nt

[stepnw1f]

49. Very Well Said

A different but more effective way of doing so. Kudos friend...

[dogday]

50. I can't argue with you there, but I love my Man regardless

You guys can be a big pain, but we love all of ya'll...

[johnnie]

54. I think most people are assholes

Men and women. Yup, there are a lot of asshole men, and there are asshole women. I think people in general are fucking everything up, but that is just human nature.

I think that if someone goes through life putting huge groups of people in brackets and blaming them for all the woes of existence, they need to sit back for a bit and let go of some anger.

[melody]

57. Women and men are separate but equal in their assholiness

As any woman can tell you, women can be just as vicious and evil as men. Trust me.

[oscarguy]

58. I am a self acknowledged dickhead.I seem to lose my way now &again...

I don`t know what it all means. Plenty of women screw up also. HOW MANY HAVE YOU TRIED TO LIVE WITH ? I don`t know what to say other than WHATEVER. ... Oscar

[MadisonProgressive]

62. All people must be judged on their actions

I think there are many men that are suited to lead in righteous calling.

[many a good man]

66. Men have all the qualities of dogs--

except loyalty.

I doubt, however, that it would be much of an improvement if women ruled the world.

[Carni]

68. Are you just saying this to try to get chicks?

Sorry couldn't resist lol

My husband is of pretty much the same opinion.

[MrSlayer]

71. The majority of PEOPLE are assholes.

Not just men, not just women. There are plenty of assholes in both genders. If the roles were reversed I don't think there would be any difference.

[proud patriot]

72. I'm locking this thread

Broadbrush Attack , Flamebait .
