2. I would prefer that.

I am a motherly man after all and I think a most liberal men are. Maybe I'll write a post about that.

9. I agree with you but*

I'm sure it was invented by men. If they were going to care for a woman and her children, they want to know it was THEIR children. In plenty of species, males will kill offspring that they didn't sire.

Bashing of any person, even dudes, because of sex is not really funny.
