Male Bashing Hardly Ever Good Natured
by techresmgt

I am laughing as I write this. In reality, male bashing is hardly ever good natured; especially when it comes from a woman or an alleged male journalist. The ladies claim it is 'harmless teasing' and we should all 'man up' when it comes to their sexist ribbing and cruel insult. But for those of us that are a bit more intelligent than to buy that line of unadulterated crap, here is food for thought. Those that resort to male bashing without coming up for air; when the shoe is squarely on the other foot, the ladies reaction is to boo, hiss, and accuse men of rabid misogyny. That is a living, breathing, hypocritical, and double standard if I ever heard one. We may not always ask for directions, but at least we know we are not 'perfect' or right 'all the time'. We are well able to 'dish it', but we are at least able to 'take it' when it is dished our way. We know our limitations and are smart enough to know that no one on the planet can 'have it all'. We may not ask for directions, but at least we know where we are going and basically how to get there from here. Women may immediately ask for directions, but that does not explain why they bear their breasts in public while in the same breath vilify men for being obsessed with breasts. How long have women demonized and criticized men for being overly obsessed with the 'size of their own private parts'? That would be forever. Who would be generally obsessed with the 'size of men's private parts'? That would generally be women. Who would be obsessed with the size of their breasts? That would also be women; something they seem to be very proud of. Something is not adding up here. This must be another example of the 'new math'. The best defense? A better offense.
