This is truly how many of them think. This is what we are up against. A quote from that cesspool known as Freerepublic..

Isn't this special? Not a lone post, so many agree with him down thread. Deprogramming this kind of ignorance and misogyny may be impossible for a third of American men (and some women):


To: MinorityRepublican
On the whole, if men are single, they can still be truly happy, with friends and hobbies and peaceful lives.

On the whole, if women are single, they can only pretend to be happy. They will, in most cases, be miserable and lonely and bitter.

Young women need to figure it out: YOU are not the prize. The man is the prize. Put his happiness first, be the person he wants you to be, be submissive and traditional. This is the path to your own happiness.

I am tired of men hating women, and women hating men, and the hate for LGBTQIA2S+ people, and the hate for People of Color.

Stop the selfish hyper individualism; men need women, and women need men. We are all in this together.

Please, everyone in this country, embrace empathy, selflessness, mutual cooperation, sharing and caring, kindness and see everyone's outer and inner beauty.

I listened to that cassette for years while growing up. It has some celebrities like Marlow Thomas and Allan Alda. It is about empowerment and feelings. One song starts out, "It's alright to cry....". Another is a skit about a princess. Her dad holds a contest to see who will get her hand. The boy who wins, allows her to be herself, go see the world and they can just spend time together and see if anything happens.

I can be truly happy on my own. These folks need a new set of values. I wish every child was brought up with that album.

At least I seem to have read that single women are happier (in general) than married women and that married men are happier, however happiness is defined.

I would think it would be miserable being married to a conservative man-baby at least

30. More and more women will laugh in their pathetic faces.
Tue Mar 25, 2025, 01:00 PM
Mar 25

Men aren't a "prize" for anything. More and more women are finally figuring out the rigged game patriarchy is. Women are sick and tired of being dumped on by these lazy shits, and they are rejecting them in favor of peace and quiet and actual freedom. More and more women are saying "no" to marriage and the nuclear family, and I say, "great." I saw through the scam when I was eight years old in 1963 and never regretted my choices.

Marriage especially needs to die out. It is incompatible with women's rights. THAT is what makes these men and their pick me women allies outraged. Marriage is on the way out in the West. It has always been an instrument for male control over women, with sex the requirement for any "bennies." (It is known as consummation, and lack of consummation has always been grounds for divorce or annulment.) Women have been slow to catch onto the truth of what it really is, and once they do see it, they can't unsee it.

Is it any wonder I never married? I wasn't about to stand behind anybody. I would've stood next to somebody if I had found someone I wanted to stand next to for 50 years, but I didn't. So?

He also told me I wasn't good at "book-learning" and at 23, I was too old to go to college. I finally graduated college with a 3.9 GPA in my early 40s.

I was told I could be a secretary until I got married or maybe a waitress until I got pregnant. I applied for a job listed in the paper under “employment, men” and turned away for not carrying a penis.

Kudos to you for finally doing what you wanted. I'm sure it wasn't easy. I know it wasn't easy for me. There's a reason people work full-time and go to school when they're young. But we did it!

Still the attitude of many men.....unbelievable.

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's tryna be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young, we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart, we put her down for being so dumb

[Outro]
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
