Men as a whole certainly have no obligation to defend women as a group www.devvy.com As the old saying has it, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. For at least thirty-five years, women as a group have belittled and vilified men, and the alleged "non-feminist" women either actively participated in such behaviour or, by their silence, aided and approved it. Now that men are turning off to women and putting their own needs first, it doesn't make them cowards or anything close. At the very least, those men are being responsible for themselves and letting women have the "independence" they said they wanted. You say people here don't "know" you, and yet, as in your first article, you launch into yet another attack on men, ridiculing (all, since you make no distinction) posters comments as "laughable at best". Hmmmm, any connection between such attitudes and attacks on the part of women and the non-chivalry by men? Nah, of course not. Seriously though, how could you expect different? Given your tone, which is strangely feministic, it is hardly unsurprising men aren't beating a path to your door to make peace, let alone volunteering to defend women. Men as a whole certainly have no obligation to defend women as a group. The feminists reaped the wind, and because of their silence and/or participation in man-hatred, women in general are reaping the whirlwind. As a supposed Christian, you should understand that analogy. By the way, is your response an example of "Christian" love? How about giving men something worth defending instead of constantly belittling them? How about speaking out against the anti-male bigotry that continues to drive men away from women instead of the usual blame-men response? Honey instead of vinegar? You question why men call you a feminist, yet launch into attacks against them like a feminist. If it looks misandrist, doncha think that is most likely how it will be taken? If men felt women wanted and appreciated their presence and protection, and thought women actually cared about them as people and not walking ATMs, no doubt they would be more inclined to give women that protection. However, this is not the message we receive from women as a whole, including you. Opening a constructive dialog between men and women is the only way the rift between men and women will ever be mended. Some women, like Wendy McElroy, although a feminist herself, are working to accomplish that, but unlike you, don't habitually engage in inflammatory rhetoric when addressing "the other side". Ultimately, you'll get what you give in life, whether good or bad. It will take a great deal of change in the social attitudes and culture of this country to bring men back now that they are turning away. At least there are a few women like Wendy McElroy who are attempting to bring about that change. But as long as women on the whole engage in such nagging, male-bashing, ridiculing and fault-finding as you, it will never happen. Your comment is not "laughable", just more of the same. Freebird
