    Stupid claims only in your opinion. I've yet to see you post a single fact disproving my comments despite the fact I've posted several links to back up my thoughts. So what makes you so special and superior, Renee?

    With very few exceptions, feminists were either silent or dismissive this time. “If anything, it sounds like she put the moves on him,” said Susan Faludi, author of Backlash. Betty Friedan weighed in, but only to huff her outrage that Clinton’s “enemies are attempting to bring him down through allegations about some dalliance with an intern…. Whether it’s a fantasy, a set-up or true, I simply don’t care.”

    It was not until former White House volunteer Kathleen Willey appeared on 60 Minutes in mid-March to make public the allegation she had formerly made in a deposition—that Clinton had manhandled her during a private meeting in which she sought a paying job—that some feminists began to make reluctant noises of dismay. The National Organization for Women (NOW), which until then had found itself “unable to comment responsibly,” averred that “Kathleen Willey’s sworn testimony moves the question from whether the president is a ‘womanizer’ to whether he is a sexual predator.”

    But NOW’s change of heart was by no means typical of feminist activists. Many others hung tough. Anita Perez Ferguson, president of the National Women’s Political Caucus—the premier group promoting female participation in American politics—described Willey’s charges as “quantity rather than quality, in terms of my feelings.” She continued, “There’s no question that it’s disturbing…. But to come to any judgment now is definitely not something that I think is timely.”

    Not really, You should be ashamed because you are insulted by him. I know better than to believe anyone. Sometimes I forget, but most times I don't let my natural desire to believe someone cares get in the way. I know folks are selfish liars who only care about those who they must in their desire to accomplish some goal(s).

    85% don't identify as feminists. You don't have to admit anything. You prove it by being yourself.

    Just so we're all clear, haters, be they man-haters, woman-haters or anyone else, are disgusting. We're all living on borrowed time and spending it hating others is not only wasteful of one's own life, but harmful to the lives of others. It's good to stand up for the rights of all human beings, but to segregate and hate them for accidents of birth is worse than silly, it's harmful.

    You don't have to write a disclaimer. Men and women heterosexuals will always gravitate toward each other and find a way to make things work. I hate liars, but they are everywhere. I hate hypocrites, but there are whole movements dedicated to hypocrisy and trying to get the world to believe their poison.

    Agreed that men and women have a natural attraction. Liars and hypocrites certainly do harm to others.

    I'm always curious about the line between those who know they are liars and hypocrites, but continue to act as they do and those who think they are righteous even though their conduct is deceitful and hypocritical.

    I'll say it another way, since you don't seem to get it:
    **** about Democrats having adulterous affairs.
    NOT BUYING your "Trump is a moron", you defend him too strenuously.
    Your hero just got busted.
    Yes, you...your hero, you love Trump, so just admit it.
    I'm not impressed with your screeching, and I have nothing to apologize for.
    And if the Democrats sweep both chambers in Congress this November, here's a scenario for you:
    They impeach Pence first, then Trump, then Pelosi succeeds to post, resigns immediately, appoints Hillary as Prez.
    The perfect F.U. for this past year.
    You can go have your nervous breakdown now.
    Go ahead, last word freak, get your freak on!

    What about fathers? Do you fathers rely on others to be called fathers?

    Your reactions to disagreement contradict that claim.

    It goes against our nature, but we do sometimes. Why do you think so many men want paternity tests? The law doesn't care if they are biological fathers and those who made the laws don't understand why it's so important. It's highly important for more reasons than money. I bet the new primitive leader of the tribe killed all the babies of the last one in an effort to spread his genes and suppress those of his rival. Also, it would cause the females to want to mate. Lions do that. I'm guessing it was common among primitive humans.

    Again it is socialization...We don’t encourage boys to be nurturing. Look at the toys we give them ...dolls that kill and girls get dolls that they can nurture. Men can be absolutely wonderful with children. They don’t have the burden of being accused of being selfish if they choose to work, women often do

    You keep using the term radical feminists. What is a radical feminist? Are you picking the exception and making of the rule again? Do you think those 5 million women and men who marched last year were all radical? I guess I can just label neo-Nazis as just extremist Christians

    No, it's nature. Modern man can force suppression of nature, but they can't stop man from being harmed by suppression. They can't stop society from being harmed, either. They simply get frustrated and repeat the mantra, making more and more restrictive laws when their beliefs are proven incorrect and unnatural. Men aren't considered selfish when they work because they were made to go out and hunt for meat, protect the tribe, women and children, and the elderly. Suppressing those natural qualities instead of developing them is why there is so much backlash in society. You can't change the nature of men and women, but you can develop it into the very best it can be. That's not what has been going on.

    Just like some people claim they're only talking about "white heritage".

    The ultimate Nazi is a pagan. Poor starving German Christians were desperate for relief. They would have supported anyone with food and work.
