Does This Girlfriend Come with a Gift Receipt?
Women love shopping as much as men love not shopping. You can tell because everything in the world of wares caters to a woman’s sensibilities. Walk into a department store and see for yourself. Do you see any signs anywhere? Do you see a giant neon sign that says: “Bathrooms Are Right the Fuck HERE!”? There’s also no alcohol and I guarantee you don’t know where the fucking door is. That’s because women hate that manner of shit.
The whole process of shopping is supposed to leave you drained, late, and (most importantly) feeling like you’ve accomplished something noble and epic when in fact all you did was go return some shitty presents that your girlfriend or wife (or both) gave you.
Women love shopping for the same reasons that men love women: it wastes their time. That’s why shopping malls are built like casinos. There’s no escape and no kind of landmarks. It’s like being trapped in a half-finished M.C. Escher painting where someone forgot to draw the ledge you want to jump off of. Surely with all that practice shopping and thinking about shopping women should be able to navigate the marketplace like a trained dog, but that assumption has fooled me and many a man many a time.
Women don’t know shit about shopping. They have no plan of attack and no philosophy. That’s why whenever you go into a store with one to buy a crappy present for her best friend’s wedding, you always end up in the purse section or the discount rack even though it was decided to get her a set of wine glasses well before hand. At least that’s what I hear happens.
Men do not shop. It’s true — even when we’re shopping that’s not what we’re doing. That’s why you shouldn’t judge a man on what he’s doing. He could be up to all kinds of other shit at the same time that you’re not aware of. That’s the man way.
Men are hunters and gatherers. We do not wander aimlessly about waiting for some trinket to catch our fancy. Absolutely no fucking way. We’re in, we’re out, and everyone goes home happy because they haven’t wasted half of the goddamn day playing princess and dress-up. I read an article about this recently that had some interesting things to say on the subject.
1. Men’s heart-rates increase at the moment of purchase — “The Modern Kill”.
2. Women have glitter and sawdust for brains.
I feel bad for women sometimes. And I’m talking about pity here, more than usual. They can’t even get good at the thing they love to do most: spending money. Then I remember that if women had it their way, I would be strung up by a noose and beaten like a piñata until the money that I’m made of started shooting all over the place like a sprinkler. Then I don’t feel so bad.

“those kids” your phrasing says it all really. You don’t factor the children into this at all, you couldn’t give a rats ass if they were sleeping on the street, just as long you don’t have to hand over any cash to a woman you hate. Get over yourself. It’s not about you. You aren’t the most important person in your family’s life, let alone the fucking world.
omg that’s hawt! Are you flirting with Dick, MK2?
Dick will never be ‘brought to his knees’ by any woman. Unless she happened to be 3ft tall and sexy as fuck.
Elderly women are more rational merely because they realize they can no longer manipulate with their sex appeal. They are forced to approach the world from a different more logical perspective than the one they were accustomed to since the day they were born. A long time ago when women were more modest (I don’t mean victorian times or prehistoric times) I like to think they were more logically inclined since they couldn’t use their bodies as a bargaining tool. When times were different economically, they spent less time worrying or thinking about what they would spend all that money on that their husband used to bring home since people barely made ends meet.
In terms of wanting custody, I’ve been training myself for years not to give a fuck if I can’t raise my own kids so that they can’t be used as a tool against me. Seriously the best thing to do is scram and not provide a single dollar to these women. If all american men joined in a collective strike and refused to work after divorce and pay child support and alimony then we may put an end to this disgusting tradition. Not a single dollar should be given to a child who you are not raising with your own hands and whose mother is not waiting on you hand and foot. Divorce should equal the beginning of a womans entire reliance on herself and raising those kids by herself.
I laughed at that, then I realized it’s really gross…
Flag poles, rich old men, the football team… whichever gives her the most for nothing.
Of what? Parking metres?
and i happen to love sex. on top.
you are all ridiculous
He’s right - if you are a man and you go into a mall, you are instantly assaulted by the virtual EXPLOSION of consumer crap here!. A million kinds of clothes, stupid jewelry, and perfumes and colognes that would gag a maggot. Literally ACRES of shit to buy! For most women, its heaven on earth, apparently - why else would they spend so much time and money there! And they ARE spending LOTS and LOTS of money here (hopefully not yours) - if they werent, none of this crap would be here in the first place. Appliances that do nothing, figurines, trinkets a pygmy wouldnt want, stuffed toys, pillows with writing on them, a thousand kinds of womens shoes! Who needs any of this crap? More importantly, WHO BUYS ALL THIS SHIT? The manswer is obvious, it-must-be - WOMEN.
When you go in the mall you buy a shirt or two, on sale, maybe some Levis jeans cause the kind from walmart last two weeks. And the tool section - but thats just to fix things yourself to save money for other crap you need. Chances are though, NOT ONE of the things youd buy with that money is sold at the mall!!! The mall is for women, period, to waste hard earned money on worthless and/or overpriced goods - of which there is far, far too much already!.
“Every woman who’s ever been divorced (a majority of adult women, now) know that they have the men by the balls during the divorce. They know that short of video footage of them physically abusing the children, they will be awarded custody, and on this all other divorce negotiations are based. Women routinely force men to trade assets for access to their children. Women routinely make visitation agreements that they have every intention of avoiding by simply moving a great distance from the father.”
Now you are deluding yourself along with the great media lie. And that lie is that all men actually WANT custody. I go along with this shit, because the least we can do for the poor innocent little child victims of the train wreck called American society is let them believe that their dads will fight like pigs in Hell for them. But sometimes thats all it is, a lie. I’ve known several fathers who disappeared and chose to hold up a sign and living out a dumpster rather than go to work for $25 a week after garnishing. Ask Hasselhoff or baldwin, to name only two, just how hard they plan to fight for their darling children.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Just give up that idea right now. The words “women” and “rational” don’t belong in the same paragraph. You’d be better off sitting in your front yard with a camera waiting for UFO’s or Bigfoot. The only potential thing i can see happening is that they may grow one mm more faithful after menopause, because after that they become exactly as bored with the opposite sex as you do at the same age. And lemme tell you, at 46, without the sex thing, people are stupendously, irrevocably, mind-numbingly, annoying to-the-point-of-suicide BORING.
He’s right! He’s right!! Every woman i have ever been with has tried the old “strength/push test” with me. Why? It was immediately obvious - because these broads MUST know that you are at least physically stronger than they are! (Because what they know, and you dont yet, is that they are about to give your eternal soul a beat down you will never forget.) And God forbid you aren’t, you have no business with the ruthless bitches known as American women; and ought to stick to prostitutes. (Come to think of it, that’s darn good advice for most American men. And cheaper, too.)
There probably is. I think after about 50-55 years of life, it’s finally sunk in. Reality can hit like a bullet.
See… All of these questions are something that I have previously taken into consideration and wholeheartedly agree with. Is’nt it funny?
When most women hit 50 years of age, they settle down. I’d say that all the wisest women I’ve met are in that age group. I e-mail regularly with a woman at 56 years of age over the Internet, her callname is the danish word for Crank.
She’s funny, has some interesting views on how the world goes around, and definetly has her own oppinions in every regard. She’s still somewhat manipulative, and a little short-sighted, but all in all she’s definetly alright.
Someone suggested this is because of hormones, and I’m prone to agree - but still there has to be more to this.
You do mean amiable… don’t you?
And alot nicer.
Interestingly enough, my dad once told me that most women settle down a bit once the kids are gone and grown. I’m uncertain that my grandfather agrees with him. I should probably ask, now that I’m divorced and our conversations don’t have to dance around the insanity of our various spouses.
I agree, the hormones leave them, and they are somewhat logical with their thoughts.
-Strength and Honor-
Indeed. In fact, I quite like having conversations with little old ladies while in a shopping queue.
I don’t honestly know. I’m a well-informed former amateur psychologist, my father being a practicing shrink and me being my ex’s de-facto therapist for many years. I’d have to ask my father how far apart the standards are.
The bottom line, however, is that the standards are different. Why should this be? Why are we normalizing behavior for women that if evidenced in men would be a personality disorder?
From my perspective, the reason such behavior is normalized in women is that it is normal. Women are just nutty compared to men.
The tragedy, in my opinion, is that while psychology knows of the difference, it is silent on it. What it should be doing is (using my ex as an example), taking the knowledge that she actually suffers from OCD and using that therepeutically. It doesn’t help someone deal with reality if you say to them, “Well, if you were a man, you’d have OCD, but since you’re a woman, behaving obsessively is ok.”
You see the issue? You get a woman who behaves irrationally, and rather than help her overcome it, you tell it’s ok because she’s female. How is this helping anyone, particularly the person behaving irrationally?
Actually, according to my father who’s a clinical psychologist with his own 40-year-old practice, her behavior is a bit extreme but not that far outside the norm for women. He sees this kind of thing all the time in marriage counseling.
Well … that’s nice, and all, but I don’t see any women demanding legal reform that gives them less power and advantage over men. Rather the reverse, in all areas of law.
This obviously isn’t the case, or we’d see women clamoring for justice and fairness with the same fervor as they clamor for increased injustice and further unfairness.
Every woman who’s ever been divorced (a majority of adult women, now) know that they have the men by the balls during the divorce. They know that short of video footage of them physically abusing the children, they will be awarded custody, and on this all other divorce negotiations are based. Women routinely force men to trade assets for access to their children. Women routinely make visitation agreements that they have every intention of avoiding by simply moving a great distance from the father.
All of this is allowed and encouraged by law, and the majority of adult women know it. They’re not clamoring for the situation to be rectified, because to do so would put them on an equal footing with men.
Women as a group don’t want to be on equal footing. They want to be superior. They believe they deserve to be superior and that men should be made to suffer for what women subjectively perceive as suffering they’ve endured at the hands of men.
Bottom line: your statements are noble but naive. If women were really interested in justice and fairness in the legal system, then it would be there. Since we only have increasing injustice and unfairness, led largely by women, we can only conclude that injustice and unfairness is what women want.
And can you blame them?
I’ve been very frustrated and it’s never culminated in violence. Admittedly I’ve never been through a divorce, but I’m fairly sure very little, if anything, could result in me assaulting anyone.
Regarding the standards for pyschological disorders, I don’t know much about it, but is the gap in standards large? I would imagine not, I’ve seen you describe your ex wife’s behavior elsewhere on the site and it is nowhere normal for an average, healthy woman.
“Except that women can vote. Because of this, the process of change is blocked. It is impossible to suggest publicly that the law is staggeringly stacked against men and in favor of women, because elected officials need women’s votes to get elected. Women won’t vote for you if you suggest that their preferential treatment should be ended.
Ultimately, to fix the problem, women’s suffrage must be ended.”
I think the nature of this is different than many assume. I mentioned this in Wolfe’s blog: We watched a video in one of my courses on freedom of speech, and ridiculous sexual harrassment laws were discussed, and the women found them as ridiculous as men did. Most women understand justice and fairness, and would never want their father, son, husband, etc. to be at such a disadvantage. The problem is that such issues get almost no media attention, so women don’t realize there’s even a problem, or they don’t know the extent of it. Women are affected by policy in every area and have as much of a right participate in it as men.
Possibly, but you’d be unable to prove it, short of providing me with scores for some standardized psychological tests.
Here’s an interesting tidbit about those scores, by the way: there are different standards for men and women. Women’s scores are looser. For example, where a male score on the MMPI would qualify for use as a diagnosis of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the exact same score from a woman is considered within the norms.
Think about that for a moment: even in professional psychology, a score that would be considered evidence of a personality disorder in a man is considered normal for a woman.
I’m not kidding: I happen to know that one from personal experience regarding mine and my ex-wife’s MMPI scores. She scored high enough for OCD that had she been male, she’d've been so diagnosed.
No one. And therein lies the problem.
In point of fact, this isn’t true. As a woman, you are free to do almost anything you like, and government agencies will ultimately support you if there isn’t a responsible male to step in.
Short of violent crime, I defy you to find any activity in which a woman will engage that has the same consequences as a man who performs that same activity.
Except that women can vote. Because of this, the process of change is blocked. It is impossible to suggest publicly that the law is staggeringly stacked against men and in favor of women, because elected officials need women’s votes to get elected. Women won’t vote for you if you suggest that their preferential treatment should be ended.
Ultimately, to fix the problem, women’s suffrage must be ended.
Had I not been assaulted by my ex, I would take this statement more seriously. However, I am now aware that when a woman says such a thing, she is probably unaware of her own nature.
You’re 19, right? I suggest that you’re too young to know what you’d do if you felt sufficiently frustrated. Perhaps you wouldn’t assault a man, but the statistics are against you. Women assaulting men — particularly during divorce — is so common that the law ignores assault as long as it’s performed by women. Again, I know this from experience.
Bottom line: whether you personally believe it or not, women as a group do not expect to have consequences applied to their actions and therefore have no accountability.
Another question for the men here.
Do you think women grow wiser with age? Or should we say.. More rational?
Dakota, that is ridiculous. Many women, myself included, are plenty rational. As for accountable: if women aren’t accountable for themselves, who is accountable for them? In most situations, a woman’s actions will have consequences that she will have to deal with herself. Not every woman has a boyfriend/husband or father willing (or even there) to pick up the peices for her. If you mean in terms of the law, I’d agree women are held less accountable and that that needs to change. But I, for one, expect that my actions will have consequences and behave accordingly. I wouldn’t assault a man whether the law would be lenient with me or not.
Any solution to a problem that involves women assuming responsibility for their own actions will never occur.
Remember the immortal words of Jack Nicholson, when his character in As Good As It Gets was asked how he writes women so well:
“I think of a man, and then I take away reason and accountability.”
Women are naturally irrational and unaccountable. They will never willingly become rational or accountable.
So think again: what is it that enables women to assume the role of victim in society? Government agencies. The real solution, therefore, is to eliminate the government agencies and structures which empower women.
Admittedly, this would be extremely difficult to accomplish; but it’s at least possible. Women taking responsibility for themselves is not.
Excactly. Violence needs to come to a stop, and we need more focus on the whole subject. Women are in fact more violent than men.
http://www.fathers.ca/women_are_more_violent.htm
This is a fact from a scientific study. While men tend to do more damage than women, it’s not much. And in many cases, the women are the agressors.
The only solution to this problem, is for women to get out of their victim-roles in society.
I wouldn’t hit a woman. Too weak in most cases.
@ Dalsgaard- Right. Violence is unacceptable from either gender, and women should remember they aren’t exempt from this.
“I think it’s something to brag about”
Where, in jail?
Good.
I’ve been hit by women a lot of times. I rarely hit back though. I’m usually afraid that if I blow a punch with all my force, i would crush their skull.
You know what? It would be a lot easier if women were afraid of the same thing. They have a tendency to forget that the person they are pissing off, are 3 times as strong as themselves - and able to spill their brainmatters all over the floor in a couple of blows.
And the only reason we don’t do this, is because we don’t want to. Because we’re told that: “You can’t hit a woman”. Maybe, if we were NOT told, they would think twice before they try to hurt us.
I think it’s something to brag about.
In my experience, I find only two scenarios where a strike is fitting, regardless of the gender.
Self-defense, where you need to hit the person to save yourself.
In jest, where the strike is too gentle to even cause pain.
Hitting anyone in anger just isn’t my style. I accept if this causes me to lose any man-points.
Hey, I’ve been thinking about something.
Do you guys think it’s alright to hit a woman?
Lol
yes she proved the point that between her ears is an empty space lacking intelligence.
You certainly proved a point with your lack of capitalization, punctuation, and inability to correctly spell “piece of.”
You didn’t prove YOUR point, of course, but a point was proven I’m sure.
Yes. And in other news, I like swords.

hell yeah i know what you mean when you write feeling bad for women

imagine you have to wake up every morning like that!
sometimes i feel bad for them
on a side note…. their own fault
so dont shout over it
stores reflect this well
they have to sell you know
I believe that’s spam, but I can’t be arsed to look.
Spray bitchBgone…
Fuck off the site.
SotS,
As always, thank you.
Women are not “ladies” and science shows they never have been.
They don’t deserve anything - not even a door held open for them.
They say they want to be equal to men, I say lets grab them by the hair and kick them in the ass, right into the real world where men live and die protecting their spoiled asses. Then they will know the reality of the world - the brutal reality men and boys have always known.
You have failed to prove you are better at anything.
It’s apparent that this happy meal is short a few fries and a apple pie leaving only one sad sack.
BMU’s insights are powerful.
“only the alpha male is “worthyâ€? of sex with her - and only until he can pay the price. And when she’s done with him he’ll be killed in the web also, because as much as beta males envy them, alpha male-ism is a costly, dangerous and tenous existence - without strong beta males - he has no defense once tangled and the blood suckers approach.”
Sounds like my last relationship. Sucking all my money and energy through strenous sex, only to kick me to the curb when she got what she wanted.
Women are scum and Sharia Law is the living arrangement they belong in.
The value system of women is hardcoded into their brains, and into the brains of some men as well. No amount of reasoning with them can change their minds, any more than their pc deceptions can change ours.
Women see the world from the viewpoint of the “nest” - just watch any soap opera or read any romance novel to get a good idea of their true reality. Women are biologically driven to manipulate and twist reality for the purpose of pulling as much attention and resources towards herself - in the woman’s mind the world exists for her alone - she is a princess who feels entitled to male reproductive resources - she sees most males as beneath existing only to serve her - only the alpha male is “worthy” of sex with her - and only until he can pay the price. And when she’s done with him he’ll be killed in the web also, because as much as beta males envy them, alpha male-ism is a costly, dangerous and tenous existence - without strong beta males - he has no defense once tangled and the blood suckers approach.
Women have no honor and no virtue. Men tend to think of women as clean, romantic and virtuous - but as with all things with women - what they appear to be is usually the opposite of what they really are.
Women are only obsessed with love and relationships because they are in love with themselves and their manipulative “magic” - she who can pull in more resources becomes the alpha princess in the eyes of the other princesses.
Men think women just want love and relationships because they are sensitive - the truth is the fun for them starts just when we commit : a woman sees the family as existing to serve her, she does not have the abstract reasoning to see the family as an abstract “big picture” whole where each individual member works towards advancing and defending that whole .. this is the way we men see it.. like team members defending a team. Women have no such code … they rope men into marriage and relationships by making men think they do.
Marriage only “worked” for so long because society forced people to stay together. And make no mistake about it, women were as slutty and deceptive then as they are now - they just worked more quietly. Science is now findign that somewhere between 10-25% of all human children were raised by a father other than their own without the kids or either man knowing who the real father was : iow, this is the natural rate of cuckoldry.. iow, women were always this bad.. nothing we “did” in recent history “made” them this way - too many men blame other men and blame themselves, and bear the emotional pain in silence - and this silence and “cover” only enables the whores to keep spinning their “invisible” webs.
hey dick im gunna fucking kill you you pussy. guys may be better at math yes but girls are better in english. you fat pieca shit
Ohh I’m sure Dick is over it. Parasites blowing someone elses money isn’t a big deal. You really should get over F4J. They are fighting for their rights, but what why would a woman care about justice? You are welcome to go shopping now and get the fuk off this site.
The ips are different, aye…
- Trio Hellenique - Tou mikrou vorja
I never said that!!!!
A advertisement made by men who can’t get any is you ask me!
At least the F4J established their movement based on maintaining relationships with their children. There are dual benefits to this. The childrens’ lives are better and so are the mens’. The feminist movement was based on bettering one group, women, even to the detriment of others. Now tell me which ones are the selfish crackpots again.
Nicole said:
Ahh so that explains Undergroundpatriot’s anger, he’s one of those father for justice crackpots.
-Ahh Nicole, your blatant sexism shines though again, I so enjoy your attempts at defining “equality” while being a complete sexist. Fathers for Justice like all other political groups, has its fringes. However one must ask,(if they have any brains at all) WHY does F4J exist? I mean people don’t form groups like this just to make other peoples lives miserable, they do it (in my own belief) to enact change, because what they are trying to change has made THEIRS miserable. Have you ever had children? I would guess no. Nor I would suppose if you did, that they had been forcibly taken away from you. Let me tell you a little secret, IT IS HORRIBLE. To know that somebody else has complete control over your own flesh and blood simply because they have a vagina, and uses that to personally attack you like a preschool bully fighting over lunch money. NCPs are almost all men, and that is the reason why you look at them as crackpots. If some woman went onto a crane to protest some sort of “oppression” dressed as Wonder Woman I have no doubt you and your fellow misandrists would cheer with collective glee over your “empowerment”.
Want a funny little anecdote?
I was at an adult store, buying the skank — sorry, my ex — a gift for her bridal shower. It was an upscale store, I was buying lingerie.
The day I was there, the manager was training a new employee. She told the new employee that when women bring back lingerie as they inevitibly will, the employee should always smell it, to check to see if it had been used and especially to check for the smell of smoke. Apparently strippers in particular tend to buy an outfit, strip with it a couple of times, and then try to return it. Regularly.

Wow, looking at life from it’s own narrow perspective is always a fine example of female thinking, the old “if it happens to me then it’s everywhere”.
Women are compulsary shoppers, deny that and you will loose any credibility here.
I mostly hear women say after they have purchased an item “can I bring it back if it’s not right ?”.
This option allowes the female to extend the decision making process until she has agonized for another day about a purchase she has already made.
Women wallow in it, it’s their pretend adrenalin rush, savoured over and over like a crack-whore awaiting another fix.
What’s sad is that most of what he’s saying is true. I’m the first to admit it, we women are very spontaneous when shopping.
However, my brother was the one who bought and returned the same pair of pants 3 times…
Quite a false dilemma argument.
Jon said: “I’m a male and I have to agree with just about everything that Female is saying. I think the fact that one woman can come here and tie all you guys up in intellectual knots and make you look like fools, seems to suggest that the title of this site might be backwards… ”
Now that I have stopped laughing. Let me say that the funniest thing you said was that you used intellectual in reference to Female. The second thing is never, and I do say never has Female even come close to making anyone here look like a fool. Unless of course you count making herself look foolish and that she does quite often.
Its funney that women think the ‘Patriarch’ has been brought to its knees. No, the only thing that has been brought to his knees that can’t hire a good divorce attorney when the women files divorce proceedings.
We are stronger than ever, women more unhappy than ever, I blame that on feminism.!
Ahh so that explains Undergroundpatriot’s anger, he’s one of those father for justice crackpots.
Some women enjoy shopping, get over it Dick.
Damn right Dick, when I go to the store I am in and out in 5 minutes or less. My ex could literally go to the mall and spend all day there, doing what ? She would bring home a small bag of crap. So what the hell took so long ?
I hate how most women waste time, they are so damn indecisive. Well except for calling the police on you because they didn’t get their way, or trying to take you to family court for child support :)
Female goes to court so she can dress up, otherwise she’s in sweat pants and flip flops all day. And she doesn’t wear deodorant either. She got scared when she was at Well College and they started to accept men.
No more muff diving for female :)
I’m sorry, Christian J, but after seeing Deuce Bigolo: Male Gigolo, I just can’t see “mangina” in the same way.
-Dick
WHat do we think it is guys ?
A fembot or a mangina ( a mangina is a gutless whimp that has problems seeing outside his mother’s apron).
To be a man, you have to cut the strings sooner or later.
this needs repeating
“tie all you guys up in intellectual knots”,
Jon, I suggest you make the effort of reading the “Mens” forum and just find out the intellectual standard of the dumb bitch your promoting.
Yo Yo…This chick will think she has gotten the best of us. By her Witty, tough talk she will bring us to our knees.
Has she ever noticed that sex is over when the man is finished??? Or we stand to pee, while she sits. Is it not clear who rules whom. And which sex needs law after law IE alimony and child support, affirmative action to even be able to compete with us!!!
Listen lady, your a hen, a sexist hen at that, you are in the hen house, but the sad fact is only one Rooster can rule all the hens. So either be a good wife to a husband, bear him children, or marry Uncle Sam and bear his tax burden. Keep pumping him out your brude of Illegitimate children, our future career criminals, you women are afraid of. You can not even walk the streets at night feeling safe from all the fatherless criminals running around taking your purse and your sex organ. If women where superior would they ever get raped??? No, face it GI Jane you need a loving man to protect you from the evils in this imperfect world.
After 30 you had better have a personality. Why trade one night stands, drugs and a loving husband to love you when you are old, wrinkled and about to die. Holding on to the first two is what American women love.
Wait until America becomes Like Russia, we will see your empowerment and raise you an Aced!!!
Female, I have no doubt that you would slap us. Equality ala carte is a fun plaything isn’t it.
-Dick
I can remember some bitch program a few months ago where it had a male lecturing a bunch of ameriskanks about the selfishness of wanting to achieve minerva by their gratuitous purchases, they were trying to achieve a sense of euphoria for a millionth of a second.
He suggested that it was not where it was at.
They all looked confused, why would he say that, that’s silly.
Heh, it’s a male thing. How could they understand ?
Thank you Jon, I appreciate your support. I don’t think the boys here ever had a rational, guiding male role model and it’s good to see a man giving them a kick up the backside every once and a while. I’d slap them, but they’d only deride me for not doing it hard enough with my little frail hands.
correction:
All of which she rationalises as not being for HER BUT RATHER for the family. Interesting that she conveniently forgets that rationalisation when quoting the gender gap and the fact that the money men earn is spent by and on the family.
Anyway, l offer my opinions for the consumption of ordinary men and courageous women. These peole have some hope of seeing the truth and agitating for and affecting real positive chabge. Everyone else argues for their own entertainment, which l am sure they get on boards like this so they dont feel like they are argueing with themselves. A bit like how many women think they are communicating just because a man is in the room while she talks. Argueing with a lot of men and the vast majority of women is a basically a time killer, destroys brain cells, causes frustration and is a road that leads to the nut house.
Good to see people like you preaching the truth. A couple of old sayings come to mind…
“The truth will set you free but first it will cause much pain.”
and
“Thinking Hurts.”
l have taken a few commonly quoted stats swilling about and extrapolated from there.
First stat is the oft quoted ‘wage gap’ number that the feminasties quote. l suspect its propoganda driven and based on sloppy self serving statistical methodolgy. After all, it is stats presented in order to validate a political position, which to my mind, by definition makes those sort of representations dubious. Clearly, that also applies here, so the fems can take that any way that serves their ideological position. But, its forever quoted by the fems as if it were some sort of trump card so l find it useful for the purposes of rebutting their argumentative rhetoric. They hate it because its THEIR number.
The 80% to 20% female to male discretionary spending is out of one of Warren Farells books… l think its “Women Cant Hear What Men Dont Say.” Dont know for sure if its that book but have seen the number quoted many times.
The 7 to 1 ratio of womens versus mens retail floor space dedictated to personal items is also out of one of Farrells books. You caould prolly go into a department store and do a rough map of floor space. They often have pamphlets that set out the floor plan. Anecdotally, go to a mall at say 11:30am on a week day and count the ratio of men to women who are shopping outside of supermarkets. That would expose the very thin edge of the wedge and tho potentially useful best taken with a grain of salt, in and of itself.
l know that women are also buying stuff for their kids and menfolk and yet l think its doubtful at best that this money is actually being spent on the family for stuff that it actually needs or that the kids and men actually want. But in the eyes of women whether you want it or not you derive benefit because well… they say so. More likely she is shopping for Osh Kosh (or whatever the latest baby/toddler fashion/trend/fad label happens to be) $70 t-shirts for the 4 yr old as a way of projecting status. Same with the clothes she buys for her man… most likely yet another superfluous garment that he doesnt need nor want but that gives her personal satisfaction. All of which she rationalises as not being for him and being for the family. Interesting that she conveniently forgets that rationalisation when quoting the gender gap and the fact that the money men earn is spent by and on the family.
You could prolly get information from retail industry organisations which collate and define consumption habits.
Interesting statistics, GGG. Do you happen to have a source for those numbers? I’m not calling any statistic into question. I’m just interested to read the accompanying study if there is one.

l think cars are a waste of money, a lot of show for not much go, they dont do what the sales pitch says they do, dont make you feel like the pitch says you will feel, depreciate 10% the minute you drive them off the showroom floor, need constant care and maintenace, they break down, need insurance, suck petrol… All true and not particularly flattering… THEREFORE l MUST HATE CARS.
Sheesh, ladies get a clue. Your insulting retorts are so old hat. How refreshingly predictable and unusually ordinary you can be when you want to.
As for shopping, as a man, when l go into one of those big box hardware stores l can certainly get lost in there, but only when l dont have a pressing job to do. That is the only reason l go there… to get materials and supplies. l never go there just to browse thru the paint and plumbing sections.
Ever woundered why 7 times as much retail space is dedicated to womens personal items versus mens personal items. Now, how is it that women, who alledgedly only earn 70% of what men earn, account for 80% of personal discretionary consumption. Logic dictates that if men are earning around 40% more than women (100% divided by 70%) then we would account for roughly 40% more of the spending on personal items. But hang on women account for 4 times as much personal disctretionary spending versus men (80% divided by 20%). That mens women outspend men on personal items by a factor of 4 to 1 even though they only allegedly earn 70% as much as us. That is a factor of 5.7 times as much spending by women versus men (400% divided by 70%
