    Why be homophobic about it?? In your estimation then, if he was gay, you'd have a problem with that? Not very lefty of you...

    I've been told both are equal.

    And BobbyJoe, you might not be able to handle yourself around women, but every man I know, plus myself have been taught to treat women with the utmost respect. I've known more women that were absolute mean and heinous creatures, not only to men, but women alike.

    You think women are more of a danger than men?

    Do you know the stats?

    Of course it exists

    Your silly claim is proven false by the very definition you gave

    What part of SOCIAL roles do you not understand? Is comprehending words that difficult or do you ignore words that does not support your narrative?

    The FACT is that selfrightous collectivists see sexism and racism in everybody that does not toe their collective line.

    What part of assigning "social roles" based on gfender is SEXIST don't you get.


    Is comprehending words that difficult or do you ignore words that does not support your narrative?


    I see sexism as sexism but those who have a deep NEED for "social roles " to be defined by a person's gender ( so they won't be frightened)will never be able to see sexism, therefore they believe it doesn't exist.



    Denying a male the use of a restroom because he is male is sexist......but I'm sure you'll never see that...

    I wouldnt dare be in a room with a female coworker after hours. Especially a young attractive one.

    Nah... I like my life too much to risk her word vs mine.

    You kinda asked for this.

    What?? You think I'm denying a bathroom to my brother because he is a male???? It isn't that at all.....it is because my sister would kick my butt if I gave her a empty soda bottle. My sister has no sense of humor.

    You didn't just "ask a question" You asked questions that had NOTHING to do with what I said. By asking these "questions" that had nothing to do with what I said you attempted to make an implication that I was considering what happened with the lives of women who have been sexually abused "isn't ruined". Don't even attempt to claim otherwise. I'm not that dumb and you're not that smart. Trying to act innocent now in order to try and score some sort of political point does nothing for your argument. All it does is show that you can't A: make a valid argument and B: Can't make an honest argument.

    What on earth are you talking about? The Democrats took the Congress January of 2007 and began writing the FY2008 budget without any concern for congressional Republicans. They negotiated that budget with President Bush not getting as much spending as they wanted. For 2009 they cut him out completely. Over those two budgets the deficit went from $161B to $1,400B and stayed over $1,000B for the next four years.

    And again what cut them in half? Obama as he claims? Nonsense, Republican budget sequester and spending austerity cut it in half.

    How so? The tax rate cuts produced record tax revenue growth and the deficits fell to that measly $161B.

    Not 2009 with it's $1,400B deficit that was signed by President Obama. And there is on budget spending and off budget spending both are reported by the OMB and the TOTAL deficit for FY2007 long after the Bush tax rate cuts were fully implemented was a PALTRY $161B and falling heading to surplus. Then the Democrats took back the Congress and budget control.

    So having members of your family as personal UNPAID advisers and representatives is a next higher step that hiring family members into government paid positions?

    what did they add, the rigt keeps claiming the left added something and Bush agreed to it that raised the debt 1 trillion a year, if true what was it


    https://seekingalpha.com/article/4069547-trump-tax-cuts-can-trigger-new-commodity-boom

    "Bush's tax cuts increased the deficit by about $250 billion/year"

    that is a 1\4th of the trillion right there

    Trump is working for free to get around rules, nothing more, as rich as he is, he doesn't need a salary, they are not doing it for free, the Trump family made more off the tax cuts then me and your salary combined

    Quite apart from antiquated concerns for 'reputation', there is simply no need for it. We can all find more than enough friends in our own sex. We don't need to make friends of the opposite sex, and doing so is always going to visit problems for both parties. We're hardwired to mate, and indulging the vanity that we can magically circumvent that hardwiring via sophistry is just that, a vanity.

    Befriending the opposite sex is fine, when you're shopping around for a mate. But doing so within marriage is a clear indicator that something is amiss. It's simply not needed or wanted, when your own union provides sufficient close contact with The Other. Happily married women don't need male friends beyond the ubiquitous husbands of her actual friends. And these we merely 'tolerate' :p. Give them a fire pit/BBQ to poke at, and leave them to discuss sport/work while we girls have a giggle indoors - where all the best food is :D

    Why do you assume she 'won't let him'? Has it occurred to you that he may feel it honours her, and so does it voluntarily? Or that he simply has no need for what is technically unnatural contact (doesn't happen in any society or species but modern Western humans) with women BECAUSE his marriage is very healthy and provides all he needs?
