In any species females tend to be like that. caseymoz Sep 2012 #1

If you are going to go all socio-biological on me... Bonobo Sep 2012 #2

Of course I agree with that. caseymoz Sep 2012 #3

To the extent that "sex object" is a valid concept, it has a bookend: "success object". n/t lumberjack_jeff Sep 2012 #7

lol. I don't know what to say. caseymoz Sep 2012 #12

"Objectification" is just another rad-fem myth Major Nikon Sep 2012 #13

I could see claiming objectification when you decide 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #15

Even if you thought women exist solely as baby factories, it still wouldn't be "objectification" Major Nikon Sep 2012 #16

Self objectification is a really bizarre term 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #17

It's just part of rad-fems' slut shaming Major Nikon Sep 2012 #19

It arguably shackles women too. lumberjack_jeff Sep 2012 #5

Women demand a lot of men, why can't men make a few demands of their own? Zalatix Sep 2012 #4

Because we're plentiful. lumberjack_jeff Sep 2012 #6

That's changing in some demographics 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #18

I imagine most women faced with that would rather be alone. Zalatix Sep 2012 #21

Possibly 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #22

Given that our schools are apparently designed to fail boys 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #8

lets be honest no one wants to date a loser, a one night stand might be okay but long term hell no loli phabay Sep 2012 #9

Men do not primarily look for "earning potential" in a partner. Bonobo Sep 2012 #10

Would I classify a woman as a loser if she had no job? ElboRuum Sep 2012 #28

Nevermind underemployed.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Sep 2012 #11

Just another example of "female privilege" Major Nikon Sep 2012 #14

Nope, this is male privilege 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #20

Interesting how this was shrugged off on HOF Group Bonobo Sep 2012 #23

It is interesting 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #24

we are talking dating, not stay at home fathers. i am a HUGE supporter of stay at home seabeyond Sep 2012 #25

Nothing to say on the gendered double standard? 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #27

Well, there really is no double standard and I think that's what's at issue... ElboRuum Sep 2012 #29

That last bit was what I was getting at 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #30

That's what's funny... ElboRuum Sep 2012 #31

This is where the double standard comes in Major Nikon Sep 2012 #36

True, but it is interesting that you put it that way... ElboRuum Sep 2012 #37

"It's not a double standard, it's just plain old self-gratifying bullshit" 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #38

Only a fool would look for reason in a concept that is completely unreasonable Major Nikon Sep 2012 #41

Reminds me of the Addams Family movie... ElboRuum Sep 2012 #42

You said something about not dating a man who doesn't work ProudToBeBlueInRhody Sep 2012 #35

Here's the way I see it Major Nikon Sep 2012 #43

People of any gender can select partners based on whatever criteria they wish. MadrasT Sep 2012 #26

The reason the subject of stay at home dads is relevant Bonobo Sep 2012 #32

A certain set of people on here 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #33

Well they seem to think they're just sooo much smarter than the average bear... opiate69 Sep 2012 #34

Evidence to the contrary is already there Major Nikon Sep 2012 #47

Its the people who think "pro choice" means they get to be in charge of everyone ELSE'S choices Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #55

They don't even speak for all feminists Major Nikon Sep 2012 #44

That's awfully generous of you. Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #50

Once upon a time, men decided how to protect the women. This is called patriarchy. lumberjack_jeff Sep 2012 #57

"Entitled"? Bonobo Sep 2012 #46

because were entitled-y titled dooodley dooodz, silly! To be a dooooodly dood is to have a dastardly Warren DeMontague Sep 2012 #49

I didn't see the word entitled anywhere until your comment 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #51

It would be interesting to see how age plays into this equation Major Nikon Sep 2012 #48

Older women have fewer options 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #52

It does seem to be a seller's market Major Nikon Sep 2012 #53
