We are smart, intelligent, strong, brilliant, observant...what are men? Sex-obsessed wastes of sperm and eggs.

Your disgusting remarks and attitude are not welcome at this site. If you continue with this attitude, appropriate measures will be taken. Consider yourself warned.

Im sure you have a reason why you are so angry at 'men' but just try to realize that not all men are bad. Don't let a few bad apples ruit it for ya.

So how do you account for movies like "There's Something About Mary" where the males are made to look like airheads chasing and fighting over women? There are plenty of movies where both young men and women are made to look stupid. You don't like 'em - nobody's forcing you to watch them or even pay attention to the trailers or ads for them.

Somehow I get the feeling that you've been scorned pretty badly by a guy or guys and are just in the mood to trash them all. Take it from someone who does have a right to speak about men from that side, I still don't generalize them all into the bad category. Sounds to me like someone could use a good lay!

Boy you can say that again!

Course, if you go out and start saying they're all a waste of sperm and eggs, I don't think that's going to get you very far chatting up prospective interests! No wonder she sounds frustrated. hehe

Not to mention, you won't have many FRIENDS - male or female.

Maddison you make good points but you disqualify yourself some when you say things like all men are idiots and wastes of sperm and egg. Being a feminist is about being pro-women, not anti-men. I agree that women should be shown in more ways than just airheads and catty or fighting over men, but I also LOVE the movie Clueless and I enjoyed Legally Blonde also. I just think that women come in all varieties and that Hollywood should show the variety that we come in. Not all smart, bookworm women neglect their looks, not all blondes who love to go shopping and are into makeup and fashion are airheads, etc. Women come in a broad variety. I love going to parties and having a good time, going shopping, meeting new people, talking about fashion, etc, but I also love sitting down and talking about politics, looking at the news, reading, etc. I hate when people stereotype what I'm like before even knowing me.

While her "waste of sperm and eggs" comment was out of line, I find it interesting that the way some people choose to respond to her is to question her sex life and make comments about it.

Wow, this thread sure went in a different direction than I thought it would. I'm not even going to touch the man hating stuff. I've tried hard in my life to be a good man, and feel no need to defend myself.

As far as the movies like the ones mentioned in this thread go, all I can say about them is that that's probably why I mostly just stick to Indy films, dramas, and documentaries these days. Don't have much use for what big Hollywood is putting out as comedy these days.

As I'm sure some are finding it interesting that you're chiding us, yet you take shots at Ann Coulter's sexuality and looks at the very same time.

Double Standards...yaes????

And you DON'T have to defend yourself Brad. Luckily these man-haters are in the minority. Just stay away from "Mark's Work Warehouse" where I hear they shop for their clothes.

I agree, most of the comedies these days just suck. Doesn't matter whether it's a male or female lead/cast, etc..

And I LOVE your av!

You ARE a fine man, Brad, and you DON'T have to prove it. It comes across every time you post!!

If all men were like you, the world would be a much better place.

As far as the movies go - that's why I stick with the older films. They were much better written!!

Damn, you guys are freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Cathie and Monika. Shoot, pretty soon I'm gonna have to have my smile surgically removed!!

In regards to what Platinum Blonde mentioned in this thread, I've found that usually hat kind of hateful speech comes from somewhere. A person doesn't typically wake up one morning and just decide that all men are a "waste of sperm", or that all blacks or whites are bad, or whatever the case may be. I believe that's the point Cathie was trying to make in her post. Usually I've found that the person who makes those kinds of comments have experienced something in life which gives them such extremist views. Not saying that's always the case as some people just hate for no reason, but typically it comes from some kind of negative life experience.
