Yes. When I was out with friends/co-students from uni (was at the Dep of Lib Arts so a lot of lefties and majority females) and people started talking politics I was pretty much the only one with a different opinion. However, it was obvious many guys faked their feminist attitude just to appear sweet in the eyes of the girls. One time this guy even told me, in the absence of gals, that "I like alot of your radical opinions and agree with much what you say buuuuut...." (*)(*)(*)(*) you piece of crap, why do you always argue against me aroumd guerlz then? Many of them are just afraid of losing access to the vagina, but don't realise women actually like men aggressively and passionately ranting about politics or any other topic tbere is. I had a little argument over Facebook with this other pretend-to-be-good guy about identity politics. He was very passionate in arguing against me and all of a sudden he just stopped. My bet is that it was because he failed drawing the attention of girls into the convo and failing getting the likes from girls he was fishing for.
Yeah. There's a lot of posturing, delusional bullsh*t in this area which really ticks me off. I can't believe the vast majority think this is possible - I think the OP should have stipulated "must be heterosexual" . Or maybe most people are deluding themselves.
Agree. Some people have mentioned friends in the workplace and suchlike, but these are only colleagues. Once they're actual friends, then they're no longer...friends.
On International Women's Day there was this propagandist lecture/seminar about inequality which I for some weird reason attended. Some goof from the Green Party was lecturing and guess I just wanted a laugh. The good old wage gap, of course, had to come up and I just could not keep quiet anymore; "Don't you think it is a little...problematic just to lump together men and women like that? Collectivising them as if they were homogenous entities?" "Umm. Heh. Well. Yes. It is problematic but um." "Because not every man and not every woman have the same job." "That is true." "So, wouldn't it be more fair to look at each company or sector at a time?" "Yes, heh...but even then there still appears to be um.. a small difference that no one can explain." I wanted to continue, but she was obviously getting nervous and uncomfy so I decided to leave her alone. The next day I was this dude who had told me he likes my opinions and from nowhere this girl comes up to me and says "I think you were disrespectful yesterday." "Eeeh. What do you mean? I was genuinely curious about the question." "Yes, but the way you put it.. " "So there is something wrong with the way I talk now?" "You were using oppressing techniques!" "What on Earth is that?" "Mansplaining." This is where the dude comes in and starts agreeing with the girl. Bloody hell. Never got any real explanation on how I was being "oppressive" or what the heck "mansplaining" is from either one. Apparently it is rude to start a question with "don't you think..." Lol. And this fecken dude who sides with the broad just because he is horny, lmao.
So what? He's right, though I wouldn't have phrased it quite so graphically. Anything else is delusional. If every woman he associated with read that, they'd get an education. Maybe an unhappy one, one that shattered their romantic delusions about the sexless adonises who love them for themselves, but arguably a dose of reality.
Amen, brother. The lying and posturing really riles me. And here's the thing: women believe it. "Oh, but he loves me for my mind." Seriously, (*)(*)(*)(*) off. He either loves you for your body or he doesn't love you.
Could a really beautiful woman be your boss? Or would you have to forego possible opportunities because of your libido? IMO a man controls his feelings, he doesn't let them control him And there is the new position of '(*)(*)(*)(*)buddy' I have heard of. A woman who remains a friend and you sleep with occasionally sans any sort of ongoing relationship beyond that being established. I'd be very interested in knowing how one does that, as I'd really like to have one
I had a similar argument recently...and lost - which is primarily why this thread here caught my interest. Reason I lost: the Facebook thread was populated with delusional women who adored the idea that this almost certainly lying jackass was a saintly prince among men, and totally excoriated me for suggesting otherwise. Ended up pissing off everyone, myself included. And I was the honest one! Thanks for posting this thread, it's given me some reinforcement of the possibility that I'm not a total medieval assh*le. Though I suppose I might be an medieval assh*le in the midst of a bunch of other medieval assh*les .
