"Offend a Feminist Week" is the annual celebration that says, "Yes, men and women are different and we like it that way!"

National Offend a Feminist Week 2010

Hey, sweetheart, when I say “bring me a cup of coffee,” I mean bring me fresh coffee, OK?

Girl Power as Boy Bashing. Kids I spoke to seem to know that at the root of boy/girl antagonism, there's a whole lot of attraction.

In Wayne, Pa., Rachel Hobbs, 15, has a friend who wears a shirt that reads: "Boys are smelly. Throw rocks at them!" Rachel told her friend: "You're dating this guy. You're holding his hand. You're wearing that shirt. Why aren't you throwing rocks at him?"

Her friend replied: "Because I like him."

Offend A Feminist For Fun And Pleasure

Make sure it’s ice cold, babe and keep ‘em coming.

Oh, and next time, make sure you’re dressed like this…

National Offend a Feminist Week, Day 2: Equal, But Not Identical? To reject feminism, in their view, is to be a misogynist, to be anti-woman, an accusation so absurd that one resents the minor effort necessary to refute it.

It is precisely my admiration for women — my high regard for their distinctively feminine qualities — which animates my animus toward feminist ideology, a species of egalitarianism. To state the obvious:

Insofar as men and women are different, they are not equal.

Men must cherish, honor, love and protect not just women, but the Feminine. Indeed, women must also protect the Feminine! The Feminine is bigger than your mother or your wife. The Feminine is the Receptive. And, speaking of Jewish mysticism, the meaning of the word Kabbalah is, essentially, The Bride. The Bride is the receptive. Think of that poem of Von Schiller.

National Offend a Feminist Week.We should embrace our differences. Women have different qualities than men and vice versus, similar to the theory of comparative advantage. What feminism tries to do is to take a woman (spoon) and a man (fork) and make them into a spork, one problem with that…sporks kinda of suck at eating food.

The war between women and men: He is all pine and I am apple-orchard

I have occasionally suggested that when teachers and therapists try to make men more sensitive, more empathic, and more deeply feeling beings, they are effectively refusing to accept boys and men for what they are. They are trying, through psychological and other means, to make men more like women…

All of which is to say that I was shocked to read yesterday about experiments in Germany and the United Kingdom where men were treated with a nasal spray containing the hormone oxytocin.

[W]hen a woman has a sexual experience her body produces extra oxytocin, thereby drawing her closer to her lover. Researchers call oxytocin the “cuddle hormone.”

Oxytocin is one of the primary reasons why women who make a habit of hooking up cannot detach their emotions from their sexual experience as easily as men can.

How Can Feminists Hate Men when I Find Them so Loveable? As I waited in line for the Haunted House at Disneyland this weekend, a woman right in front of me was committing parental alienation. She was talking with her children, degrading their father. Not just that, she was looking for agreement. She asked, "He lives near [theme park]; he never takes you there, does he?" Then adding, "He doesn't even pay for your swim lessons."

There's an epidemic of government and society-encouraged misandry going on. Many innocent fathers are being accused of domestic violence by ex-partners in the move to gain full custody of children. Lack of due process in family court means guilty with no chance to prove innocence. Some of these men can never see their kids, ever, others have to see them in jail-like settings, supervized.

Never listen to female advice about women

This would be why. Dr. Helen linked to a woman who maintains a site called "How to Train Your Man". Here's her perspective on what women want:

You can’t blame guys for feeling exasperated. We expect them to be psychic and to know what we’re thinking. As in the Dodge commercial, many men think that if they “behave,” their woman will be happy. If they disappoint us, we are unreasonable, intolerant, unpredictable, moody, PMS-ing or nagging. Sometimes it seems that it’s never enough. It’s really not men’s fault for not knowing what women really want. So here it is, simply. Women want three things from men: someone who cares about them, someone who will listen and respond honestly, and someone they can share a laugh with. In other words, a good friend. Everything else falls under one of these categories.

Interesting. And hypothetically useful information, although it sounds an awful lot like what the patient deltas and whiteknighting gammas believe. For an alternative perspective, here's what the Dark Lord of Intersexual Relations says women want:

The strongest woman and the most strident feminist wants to be led by, and to submit to, a more powerful man. Polarity is the core of a healthy loving relationship. She does not want the prerogative to walk all over you with her capricious demands and mercurial moods. Her emotions are a hurricane, her soul a saboteur. Think of yourself as a bulwark against her tempest. When she grasps for a pillar to steady herself against the whipping winds or yearns for an authority figure to foil her worst instincts, it is you who has to be there… strong, solid, unshakable and immovable.

Now, based on everything you know about women, based on everything that has been discussed here about women, which perspective do you think is more reflective of observable reality?

7 ways to tell if your chick is crazy! Sometimes you think you meet the greatest girl in the whole entire world — smart, pretty, funny, willing to go down on you whenever you ask. But then out of nowhere she flips out and turns into a psychomaniac. So you call the cops, change all the locks, and try to figure out how she went from being the sweetest girl ever to the girl resisting arrest on your front lawn. Well it didn’t happen overnight. There are always signs along the way that you’re dating a complete nut job.
