its really not that hard to understand. first the only two ways to tell who a girl is from behind is her hair and her ass. and since most brothers hopefully wouldnt be able to tell ththeir sisters ass and girls change their hair all the time its a common mistake.

I find it funny that presumably a few seconds worth of such behavior would be worth any of those punishments. How about an apology and he agrees to contain his behavior. As for the whole other part of your response really you sound immature or a drama queen. Everyone gets attention that they don't want or treated in a way that they don't deserve. Why don't you try to see what it's like to be a guy and I know the first thing that pops into your mind is all the stereotypical crap that everyone pushes. How about residing to the fact that you will probably have to work until you die, have got a good chance at getting a girlfriend or wife that refuses to work and when you start having to work a second job to make everything work, she complains that your spending too much time working and not enough with her and she ends up leaving you for another guy and takes 75% of everything you own that she did not even try to help acquire, you are left financially ruined and will probably take the better of a decade or longer to recover. The things that suck about life goes both ways.

wow, calm down there sparky. It's not like they were beating and raping her, only making stupid (and harmless) pick up lines. Methinks it's that time of the month for someone >.>

Darkon = legend

wtf at #92?? why does a woman + tetchy = period?? some people are just tetchy anyway or she might be genuinely angry about this, think before you speak ass

Actually, Darkon, I don't know where you are getting your silly ideas from, but according to the 2008 census, 72% of women over the age of 25 hold full time jobs. 62% of those are also working mothers, so, assuming you are not a working father, they are working harder than you are. The number of women participating in volunteer opportunities in the U.S. is also almost double that of men. So if you manage to find a woman who refuses to work, the statistics lead me to believe that it is entirely your own fault. Perhaps you should work on your judgment of character, as well as your adherence to ridiculous, outdated stereotypes. Screwloose absolutely has a point that most men have no clue what it is like to be automatically viewed as nothing but a hot piece of ass by 48% of the population, and if they were subjected to such a situation the results would be very interesting.

I myself haven't had that problem and would refuse to see a woman who is such a person, but with friends, family, co-workers would say the census is BS and is skewed in some way. The above story is of my father who went through this when I was like 14 or so with his second wife. I am tired of the whole working mothers have it so hard line, yeah some have it harder than others but many make it more difficult than it needs to be. When I was a kid when I was living with my mother for a few years before my father got custody I just about raised myself. We were on assistance as she couldn't be bothered to keep a job more than a couple of months and when she did get paid it went to booze and going out with friends not to those other things like food, rent and such which isn't as bad as it sounds because at least she wasn't at home depressed and finding reasons to beat me. So I spent most of my time finding ways to get food like making friends with people I didn't even begin to like just on the chance they would invite me over to eat and when it came to clothes I would have to save money that relatives would give me and go to thrift stores to clothe myself. Now you may ask where was your father, she got a restraining order on him although she is the one with the problems and he was always paying more than he needed to with child support as he even asked the judge when they were deciding custody if he could give more and she would just blow it all and wouldn't let me have anything to do with him. To sum up please get some real world experience than tell me how much your "statistics" are worth. You are already brainwashed to believe what you want so this will probably not do any good. There are worse things out there than having things you'd rather not hear said to you by people you don't know.

I'll explain my opinion this way: - I hate guys who think they can hit on a girl they don't even know. I have no doubt this is terribly annoying for women, and I agree that as a guy I do not experience this (or maybe I'm just too naif to notic when a girl is hitting on me). - I hate guys who get a hard-on just by looking at a girl's 1 inch of cleavage. Well the hard-on may be automatic, but I hate the guys who stare at women's cleavage as if they have never seen a inch of female flesh in their lives. No doubt it's rude and terribly embarrassing for women. And I won't let anybody tell me women should cover up if they don't like people staring at their cleavage: no matter what body part you stare at, it's rude and embarrassing. How do you like people staring at your face for example? NOTE: I'm talking about staring. Nothing wrong if a guy sees a girl's cleavage while looking around, that is not his fault since it is very hard to avoid. If a woman does not like even this then she should cover up. I also don't like women wearing excessively short clothes that attract attention (such as a top that barely covers a woman's nipples). What I hate is the intentional staring at women (and people in general) who do not wear provocative clothes. However: - I think feminism is going too far today. I think today's feminists want female supremacy and not equality. Or as I like to say it: they want equality between sexes, but only for women. - Feminists are not as trustworthy as they were 20 years ago. Today you better double-check their claims. Turns out women are not as under-paid as some feminists claim they are. And some women have a part of responsibility in their mistake but feminists try to make us believe that they have no responsibility. Here's an example: How often to you hear people curse at a 20 year-old father who ran away instead of helping the mother raise the child? Most of the time. How often do you hear people say the mother should have been smarter than having sex without a condom with her boyfriend of 3 months at the age of 20? Not as often. - Feminists mostly fight for the equality of women but don't care about guys being unequal. Why? Shouldn't we fight for the equality of both sexes? Here are some examples (which may not apply to every country): Example 1: In case of divorce, a judge is more likely to give custody of the children to the mother because of the image that the mother is a more caring parent. I don't have kids yet, but I'm sure I would love my children as much as my wife. And my father loved me as much as my mom. Example 2: Car insurance companies offer better rates to young females than young males on the basis that more males are causing accidents than females. This seems logical to many people but there is a HUGE mistake in this reasoning: First of all, being a man does not make one more likely to cause an accident. Gender is not the cause of bad driving. If you could turn a girl into a guy somehow, she would not drive any worse than she did before. If I am part of the few lucky guys who drive well, should I be punished because of all the other guys who drive badly? Following this logic, we could say that a gifted child can not enter a special program for gifted children because most children are not gifted and it is therefore assumed that this particular child is not gifted either, even though IQ tests say otherwise. Get my point? Now, what about the scandal it would make if we would say "black people on average are worse drivers than whites, therefore they must pay higher insurance rates?". Most of us would call this discrimination, yet when it is about guys vs. girls we don't call it that way. Why? (Don't tell me all races drive the same. In reality the numbers can't be perfectly equal, though they may be very similar. For example, one race will have 20.2% of bad drivers and the other race will have 20.4% of bad drivers). By now I am sure you all understand that such rates are unfair since people are judged not on their own skills and merit as drivers but on the average driving of all drivers. So where is the scandal? Why is it that if an employer says he won't hire women because he thinks they are less qualified than men he will get in trouble, but insurance companies can claim as much as they want that men are worse drivers than women and they can even make men pay more for this reason? Again, I think groups who advocate any form of equality between social groups should defend the interests of all these groups and not just one specific groups. I think feminist groups are sexist, the same way I think groups who fight for the rights of one specific ethnicity are racist (why not fight for all ethnicities. Why favor one over the others? How can that be fair?). Conclusion: I think guys can be machos and assholes in the way they behave towards women, and I strongly disapprove of that. But sometimes women's problems tend to be over-dramatized and we have to be aware of this too.

Your father had an awful mother. My mother is a single parent and has to work her ass off because my father has money but is too ******* selfish to give us any without a huge fight. It is harder for women to get jobs and make money, you say it's not that hard to have a job and family, try to come home from a tiring day at work and then take care of your kids. Plus kids take up so much money, if you want to have a job you have to pay for daycare and everything. One story doesn't prove anything. Most women are not like that. Besides this FML is about a guy yelling sexist shit at his sister. And that's just ******* rude, it's not OK to treat anyone as an object. Women do not like this kind of attention unless they're really desperate. Doesn't matter if it's his sister or not, he shouldn't be doing it to anyone.

you just wrote an essay man while reading that i thought of a few things i could say but by the time i was donee i forgot

i COMPLETELY agree #137. I told my class (of all girls) during a debate that I was not a feminist, i just wanted equality, and they all gave me death stares. I know there are some men who are sexist towards women, but i hate it when women who think all men are dirtbags get appreciation for wanting "equality"

Wow, Darkon, shut the **** up and stop bringing your bitterness about your family past into this. Clearly you have some really biased issues with women... time for you to go into therapy and stop blaming it on half the population. If you knew shit about anything or had an ounce of common sense, you'd realize that anecdotal evidence is the stupidest and least scientific method of collecting research. When you bring it up, the people who go through shitloads of research and hard work to GET these TRUE statistics for you will just laugh in your face.

holy geez, essay much? I agree with the view of feminists these days but I don't think you need a 500 word essay to explain it. But really, if women don't want a guy staring at their boobs, they should cover them up. Can you imagine if a guy walked around shirtless then complained about all the women staring at his 6-pack? We'd tell him "well put a shirt on then". Same rule applies to women. And yes, I'm a woman.

Wow #137, have something to say to feminists? What perhaps you don't realize is that there's a difference between a feminist and a chauvinistic woman who calls herself a feminist. In lambasting a generalized group like you are, you're making the same mistake you're trying to criticize. In reality, feminists are for gender equality, and that goes both ways. After all, equal is equal, and if you really want EQUALITY for women then you automatically want equality for men too. A woman who wants more than her share of "equality" doesn't want equality at all, so don't believe her if she calls herself a feminist. Finally, when you're a woman and a guy you aren't interested in "hits on" you, you might be annoyed, inconvenienced, or even flattered. But if you're a woman, alone, and a group of men begins yelling lewd comments at you, ask most women how that makes them feel. The answer? Frightened. And you don't have to dress provocatively to attract that kind of attention; you can be completely covered up, walking down the street, minding your own business. The worst part is that our fear is not unfounded. When a man gets unwanted attention from a group of women, he doesn't experience it in the context of someone who knows that one in four people just like him experience some form of sexual violence in their lives. We do. Even if we feel comfortable enough to show a little skin--do we deserve that fear? Does anyone?

You are not human.

You are an egregious inhuman monstrosity

You are an egregious inhuman monstrosity

@172 Maybe your the one with the problem getting so defensive over women you have never met, maybe it is just the area that I live in but most women that I have met are extremely narcissistic and very self serving, now I am not say all women and I am certainly not "blaming half the population" as I have met many women who are actually pleasant to be around; they don't seem to be the norm. As far as your "common sense" maybe you should get some as statistics can be used to show anything and aren't always a true representation of how life actually is and can be very inaccurate as most of the time there is duplicate and just incorrect data and when you deal with such numbers nothing is "true" there at most is an indication of a particular trend which depending on where the info was collected could make the info completely wrong. Now I know someone is going to say "It's the census! They get everyone's info!" no they don't, I have lived at my current residence for the better part of twenty years and never once have had a census worker stop by. @186 You may want to re-read what I have posted I never said you deserve such treatment and that everyone gets treated in ways they do not like and being called things from afar isn't the worst things that can happen, does that mean you should accept it? No develop a sense of humor and or thicker skin, ultimately unless they turn to physical advances or start threatening to they haven't done anything to you. As far as the saving and investments they don't matter much as in divorce all things are divided and rarely is it 50/50 as it is supposed to be and women usually make out better and before anyone says otherwise how many men are awarded alimony to sustain their quality of life if the wife makes more than he does? For you "statistical" people only in 5-10% of cases where the wife makes more is it awarded. As far as the other posts here, the problem with equality is that there is no such thing (between race, gender, etc...) as they aren't going to accept the negative parts of equality only the positive. In equality with women there still exists a very chivalrous attitude i.e.: women don't have to register with selective service so if that there is ever a draft they will not be picked, many laws favor women especially when it comes to domestic problems in many states a woman only needs to call to say that there is a problem at the house even if she hasn't been touched or even threatned(lying) the law states that someone needs to be arrested and almost always it is the man. There was a case I forget which state it took place where a pregnant woman called police saying she was being hit, they came over arrested the guy only to find out later that the woman had a midnight craving for skittles and was pissed he wouldn't go out to get her any. There are many other things I could bring up but I'll probably get flamed enough with this.

The census may not knock on every door, but they conduct their evaluation in such a way as to draw up a very accurate statistical representation of the population. You can't always trust statistics because they are so temperamental; a mistake at any stage can throw them off completely. Phrasing of the questions, sample size, even the race of the interviewer compared to that of the interviewee can all vastly skew results. But the census is one of the oldest hands in the game, and they already know all this and prepare accordingly. That's why you can pretty much take census data as gospel; it shouldn't even be compared to other statistics. I don't know why you insist on holding on to your bitterness towards women; who knows, if they're really as you say they are in your area, maybe you should move and get a different perspective. But the ways you described in which women make out better than men all result from the same idea that women are weak and defenseless, so the system has to intervene on their behalf. It's the same way the system treats children. I don't know about other women, but I don't want to spend my whole life being treated like a child, even if it "works out" in my favor, and I don't find it chivalrous at all, I find it insulting. I want equality with every other adult, the good and the bad, and that's what makes me a feminist.

haha i know me too.

Yes he probably feels like an ass. He should. He really shouldn't be treating anyone like that.
