First of all the women weren't looking for equal rights, they wanted superior rights to the men. The table has be slanted in favor of women for the last 20 years. Did it kill romance, maybe? The feminist movement doesn't want equal rights, they want outright castration of the male gender. I'll give you an example, at a place of employment five years ago, I got into a heated discussion with a lady in my office because she screwed up some orders for a big account of mine.
She called me a fucking prick, I called her a fucking bitch. The following Monday I'm getting a letter from my Human Resources department that sexual harrasment charges have been filed on me. I don't think it's killed romance totally, but guys don't kiss the ladies asses anymore because of this kind of crap.
Yes, I believe that equal rights has an affect on romance. I am not sure of how!! Woman are in persuit of there equal rights and not romance. Pomtp and power. Every thing has an effect. Cause and effect. I have my opinion just like all the rest. I have noticed that every time a romance or relationship fails that a lady will make the path for a man smaller, thus leaving me out because I will tell the truth about myself and not bull s==t my way into her pants. What, no dress? The negative outlook of people, is we want to look at what is wrong with someone and can not see that there are many quailities before the deficiencies. Woman in the U S have taken control. I like to be in control so this is a contrast with me. They want to tell me and I will not have it. So I am old fashion and traditional. I believe a lady has a valid say but does not rule the family or the food chain so to speak. And then when they are wrong put the blame on someone or something else. Just like nasfan said. The lady made a mistake and now it is because of sexual harrasment. I also feel we have spoiled woman for many years giving them about everything they ask so it has changed to demand from us. I do believe in time things will go back the other way and it will help by us looking away from american woman, To the woman who still have moral character and values of love and family. When all the single woman in the US die alone there daughters will see they do not want to die alone and will compromise these demands. Obviously this will happen after my lifetime. Please, don't take things to seriously!!!
"....She called me a fucking prick, I called her a fucking bitch...."
Nas,
Your anecdote is more of a reflection of what women do to get the advantage over men in the work place; and as unfair, abusive and lacking in integrity as it may be, I fail to see what it has to do with romance.....unless you consider the workplace a good spot for it (yiiikkkeeeeess..!!)
Not wanting to deal with feminazis' crap in the workplace was one of the main reasons why I became a one-man-agency....
What women do in the work place to men is simply unspeakable, despicable and flat out degrading.
From the typical "Please put the water bottle on the cooler because it's too heavy for poor little fragile me woman to do it" to the infamous and mostly false "sexual harrassment charges"
During the last years of my agency I used to take morbid pleasure in provoking these type of women into thinking they could make me liable for sexual harrassment charges.
Everyone in my agency with the exception of two "male" clerks were 'independent agents' with 1099 contracts...therefore sexual harrassment laws as well as employment taxes are treated completely different. They virtually do not apply.
Everyone had the same contract level, and everyone working for me had to do the same paperwork selling the same products to the same target markets as everyone else.
My agency was the ultimate example in gender equality, lol...just like the damn women wanted.
But no, that was not enough...they wanted more. Usually at someone else's expenses...."but my boobs are nicer to look at than George's beer gut, boss. Who cares if he brings ten times more sales than I do. Can I get a higher contract? I promise to unbuttom my blouse lower..." or "...why can't you be more considerate and understand that I have children at home I must care for. Give me more leads than anyone else, and within my home zip code, boss..."
Working women in the US suffer from what I call a 'terminal case of false entitlement'.
There is a parallel to that virus that also applies to their behaviour and expectations in their relationships with men, but by no means are all one and the same.
You enter a MENS FORUM - where western men legitimately interested in beautiful, respecatable and intelligent Russian Brides discuss the many issues involved - and without even reading entire threads you soend hours taking cheapshots at everything we have written.
'where western men legitimately interested in beautiful, respecatable and intelligent Russian Brides discuss the many issues involved...'
just wonder what the 'beautiful, respecatable and intelligent Russian Brides' would think of the many issues involved and discussed here - and the way men expres their real way of thinking here!
like teenage boys discussing girls behind the bicycle shed.
fjaeril it is not a secret for 'beautiful, respecatable and intelligent Russian Brides' how and what men discuss when gathered together...is it a secret for you??? For me not, I always knew what things are discussed, what are forbidden for discussion, when I should not interfere and when I can express all I think!!!:) Just kidding of course, but I'm sure for men it is not a secret what women do discuss when get together:) At least my boyfriend, and men from my circle of friends, they always know that when there 2 or more girls get together, it's better to leave them chatting alone:)))
Fjaeril they can get here the same as you. I have been to their forum and yes there are the same type of things going on there too. Please go some where you can find peace. It is obviously not here.
if you do not want to serve us, leave...
if you do not want to please us, leave..
if you do not want to satisfy us, leave...
if you do not want to stay fit, leave...
if you do not want to take care of our home and children, leave..
if you do not want to cook for us after a hard day's work, leave..
Just leave..because if after all, you do not understand what kind of woman many of us want to work hard to support, you are not worthy of us...
Sorry but rights and Romance have nothing to do with eachother. I have had no problem romancing the women I have pursued. Women are all different. If you chase a butch woman then don't be surprised with what you get. Gender roles do not change with the passing of laws and constitutional amendments. These things only evens out the "playing field" as they say in the work place and such. A difficult woman will always be a difficult woman Equal Rights or no Equal Rights. You can't legislate behavior. I get tired of hearing the same old crying that equal rights have ruined the chances of somemen to find a good woman. It's all BS. If you are having troulbe finding the right kind of woman then take a look at the bait you are using. There are plenty of women out there who want a man that will treat them well and romance them. I have no problem looking at my encounters with women realisticly. If I strike out with a woman I have no trouble admitting I failed. When I find myself with a real B of a woman I admit that I chose poorly. That I ignored the signs that were so obvious but that lust and "love" blinded me to. I have had relationships with wonderful women but have not found one who's life path followed mine. My being constantly on the move has forced me to end some very good relationships. But these were choices I made. I expect a lot from my significant others and I know they likewise have expectations of me. I am looking for a woman that will walk beside me not behind me or ahead of me.
Groon,
You can attempt to disguise it any way you want to for the purpose of 'bait'...but the moment we ask a woman to choose to walk the path WE decide to walk on we're simply asking her to FOLLOW us.
It doesn't matter where she is while she walks the path WE choose for both of us to walk...she's following us!
She can walk besides us, take point, cover the rear or switch every 5 minutes...she's still walking the path WE choose for her to walk on.
In all my relationships, during courtship, romance blossomed. We wanted to do everything for each other. So, rights and romance did go hand in hand. It was only when the dust settled that the social conditioning we have all been subject to in recent years began to take over. Not to mention both parties having so very little time for each other. Modern working life places a great strain on marriage.
'Your dinner is in the fridge' rapidly replacing romantic, candle-lit dinners for two!
This can become an issue and when there are unresolved issues, tension develops. Barriers to love/romance are erected, blocking the flow of love. Eventually, too many barriers, means the death of the relationship.
If one partner sees the other TAKING all the time, resentments can set in. The key is for both to give, not take. That is real love.
Being clear about roles is vital. Women in Russia seem very clear about this. A man is a man. I was delighted to be constantly deferred to. I felt like a man! Walked an inch taller, chest a little broader.
'Modern' women tend to have greater expectations today, promoted by an invidious advertising and media and political correctness gone mad.
A man should be a man. Any woman worth her salt can get her own way through intelligence. The saying 'Behind every good man is a great woman is true'. Unfortunately, Today's modern woman is much more 'in your face' lacking any kind of subtlety. It's a pity. Are we any happier for it? Clearly, not.
Like so many on this site, I have voted with my feet.
