Is it now time in the 21st century for Men to only focus on our own agenda ignoring all things of & by women?

Question

To give our time and efforts, to putting ‘our’ house in order?

Focusing on ways, laws, systems that strengthen our gender and cause

To teach our boys and sons to be the best, and to always put themselves first, never bending or bowing to women......

In short should we ignore their world, their plight, as they so readily do with ours?

Answer 1

Why not?  It works for the feminists.

Answer 2

We should start by scrapping the outrageously anti-male domestic violence laws that have been springing up all over the world (see Section 4 here http://www.freewebs.com/feminism-evaluat...

Then get rid of the feminist bigots from the universities that teach women (and men) to hate men and put women on a pedestal e.g. Women's Studies students "learn about a 'female way of knowing', 'female logic', 'female voice'... Experts in women's studies often use it [the term 'difference'] in connection with the innate superiority of women" (Nathanson & Young 2006, p.277)

Then get rid of the man-haters in goverment who promote anti-male laws under the guise of equality http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/pol...

... and the anti-male judges who support and promote anti-male laws e.g. Judge Vera Baird

... who says that a woman is justified in killing a man if she is sufficiently insulted

Answer 3

why stoop to low levels... both genders should, and I think do outside this forum, focus on the betterment of society as a whole, including both genders and all cultures.

EDIT: I'm with you mutters...

I got 5 on the fems,wearing flannel with no bra coupled with child birth gives them a real leg up!

jk notice: please disregard any content not found humorous, as the intent of the poster is to inflict laughter, not anger.

Answer 4

yes i do think the time has now arrived for us to be selective in how we look at things, putting our thoughts, needs, gender, and agenda way before theirs. yes!!!

Answer 5

Up here in Canada, the feminist agenda has crept into every facet of society.  They are like whining babies and unfortunately will never, ever go away.  To discount them is like ignoring the floods.  Best to keep a constant eye on them as you never know what new insanity Joy Behar and her ilk will come up with.

Answer 6

Our we could all focus on respecting and standing up for  each other.

The power struggle we have now is just a pendulum that swings from one extreme to the other.  In the meantime women who are not feminists are caught in the cross fire between the men and the feminists.  Feminism has an "every man for himself" mentality that has left men and non-feminist women out in the cold.

Is this really the same approach you want to take?

Answer 7

Well, undeniably, this is the regrettable state of affairs that modern feminism has resulted in where men are simply treated as defective rubbish.  A human being can only withstand so much before the human being cracks, and this is called "blowback," wherein there's been so much humiliation and emasculation and derision of men by feminists that the only escape from this madness is to regain any degree of self-worth we have before our gender is systematically eradicated by this wicked philosophy.  This may be our last chance before the small window of opportunity is gone.

Answer 8

Wow I had to read that twice! That's a complaint by a man about women? That is really amazing. Do any of these misogynists ever actually read anything or hear anything that women say? Or do you just read like every other word and come up with your own conclusions? That has got to be the main communication breakdown, GET OVER YOUR MOTHER ISSUES

Answer 9

How would that behavior be new?  Men have historically ignored the accomplishments of women, the concerns of women and the thoughts of women.  They have only listened when Women stood up for themselves and made their voices heard.  

If you want to ignore women, you will have to get some large earplugs, but don't be surprised if women kick your sorry carcass out of the road because you stand in the way of progress.

Time marches on....

Answer 10

Sadly this is the sign of the times.  The best scenario is for men and women to work together.  That is what made Western Civilization great.  Us fighting against each other,

well who knows where this is going to lead.  However if you are a father and want to see your child, often the best recourse is to get information from a Men's/Father's Rights group.  

Answer 11

I have been told on some of my questions by some feminists that women shouldn't be focusing on men's issues, we should do it ourselves.  By that point of view, I guess we should.  

However, rational people realize that we should be helping out people in general.  You might focus on one gender or the other, one age groups, etc., but you shouldn't ignore the plight of others.

Answer 12

No, no, no. The normal, rational adults should band together and let the male and female chauvinists duke it out.

Edit: Back 'atcha, toots.

Answer 13

That's funny.  Like men have so concerned themselves with women's issues before.  The thing is, men need women.  You would not be able to function without us.  So, good luck with your crusade.  

Answer 14

I always thought division was part of the problem, not the solution. Cooperation, mutual respect, and a meeting of the minds would help more than separatism based on gender or race.

Like it or not, we're stuck with each other. ;-)

Answer 15

We're stuck on this planet together; might as well learn to get along.

Answer 16

How will this action be different?  When did you put women first?  So you feel the pendulum in the last few years have swung to far toward pro-women and now you want to push it back to pro-men.  Maybe we should all focus on making things better for everyone and stop the never ending circle of me-me-me!

Answer 17

I actually agree with this.  Feminism is an organized and deliberate movement designed with the intention of forwarding the cause of women.  If men don't like the results, it only makes sense to start a similar but opposite movement.  Let me give you one piece of advise though.  Always state in public discourse that you are "only interested in the equality of the genders."  It is important to appear centrist or the fledgling organization will be destroyed in a torrent of bad media and the feminist agenda will be furthered instead of stunted.

Ahh, thumbs down when I wasn't trolling?  To all of the people saying "work together", I point to history.  Change rarely ever is a product of two amorphous and massive sides coming to a compromise.  It is most often the result of a radical element of one side grabbing the sword and pushing forward.  If this element is strong enough, both sides will be forced to evolve the way they think to consider this event.  If the element is not strong enough, the sword is dropped and a new element will rise up and push forward.  Such is the pendulum of history, such is the cause of humanity.

EDIT:  To those who are saying "haven't men always done this?"  The answer is no.  As scary as that might be to you, there is no organized movement to further the cause of men.

Answer 18

Sounds cool! can I still keep coming on here though?

Answer 19

Ok, see ya and good luck :)

(I'm off to focus on my family with hubby and 3 sons)

Answer 20

my goodness. what fury over gender issues in the 21st century.there is no hope for us.  we all feel misused and abused, seeing the other as the oppressor.  the logical conclusion to the complete separation of  the genders is the end of the human race. and if we cannot do better than this kind of discourse, the species should become extinct.

Answer 21

I don't think stooping to their level is a good idea.

Answer 22

The 21st century is a great time to start viewing everyone as human beings and showing compassion to all who need it.

We don't need to divide people by gender any more.

Answer 23

OK. Bye-bye!

The normal, healthy well-adjusted men will stick around. Honestly, we won't mind if the misogynists deprive us of their company.

Pack sunscreen!

Answer 24

Haven't you always?

Answer 25

well i for one don't want to ever see this, so i do hope it never comes to pass

Women & Men togatrhe forever as one!!

Answer 26

Oh my I can see where this question is going but I think you ought to read the social history over the ages as to how women have been mis treated by men.

No women would want anyman to bend or bow to them. No both sexes would like respect and understanding and have to work at it.

'If' by Rudyard Kipling

IF.....



--------------------------------------...



IF you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

--------------------------------------...

Answer 27

"The thing is, men need women."

That's where you're wrong. To be sure, (most) men WANT women. But then, most men want a fine car. But most men don't NEED a fine car. Catch my drift?
