Oh and as for the sex with anyone we want...you obviously haven't seen my peach of an ass!

I love the way AH's reaction to a thread on feminism is to have a thread about why men are better than women. Can you say 'insecure'?

No, but i can say 'taking the piss'. Relax, sweetcheeks....

And another reason it's better to be a man, you can oppress the shít out of women everywhere by doing nothing. Simply by being a man you can oppress billions of people.
Now if that's not power, i don't know what is.

Oi! Read my comments on the feminism thread - you'll see I'm not like that at all! I think it's a lot of women who make life difficult for other women, yet men get blamed. I was unpopular in the Ladies' Lounge for a while because of taking an anti-bint stance.

rb_ie wrote: »

Ooh, I've a good example.

Ever hear a guy go "Well they don't actually look like that, that picture has clearly been photoshopped as much as possible, that's not what a real man looks like" regarding a picture of a male model/advertisement? I haven't, yet every single insecure woman will belt it out any time a few guys comment on a model being hot or something. Therefore, we're a lot more secure in ourselves in general. I'd hate to find myself getting jealous of such crap as easily as a woman does.

Yeah, I despise that sh1t.

And that. But I just avoid people who expect women to be pink and fluffy.

and crying at the drop of a hat.

Nothing wrong with not crying easily... unless it's a deliberate decision to refuse to express one's emotions in a bid to appear "tough" all the time.

Men can speak their mind without being called a bit.ch

Yep, very true. Although there's speaking one's mind and actually being a nasty bitch.

Men are not expected to like sex in the city

Sex & the City is entertaining-ish. Anyone who treats it as their "bible" though is actually dumb.

back to FAS girl eh?

I think Fas Girl's hot, but I noticed in one lingerie pic that she had little to no boobs. And then it struck me that she wears high-necked, modest tops in all the big boobed pics so I speculated as to whether it was just padding.

Hey, look. It's OK to admit you're a bit insecure as a man. You're among friends.

But in fairness, in the long run, I think women have it best:

Life expectancy in Ireland
Men: 75.44 years
Women: 80.88 years

Great, an extra 5 years smelling of turnips and pee.

Indeed.

Also, we can pee standing up, and aim our pee, and we can save people from jellyfish stings with our pee. and the last thing we have to worry about during sex is pee.

Aye, 5 more years of being in a bleak, depressing nursing home and having a mind so addled that you can't even remember the faces of the selfish offspring that put you in the godforsaken home in the first place?

Wow that's a lot of negativity, thelordofcheese. Fortunately dementia and the like don't run in my family so I plan on spending my final days on a beach somwhere in the caribbean reading all those books I meant to, drinking cocktails and eating whatever the hell I want. Good times.

I bet if I offered you 5 more years on your deathbed, you'd take it.

BubbleWrap85 · 22-04-2008 9:36pm

Oh and just to add, this thread reminds me of when I was about seven in primary school where we'd have "Girls are better than boys!" arguments........sad really. I don't get moody once a month either. I am envious about the whole peeing standing up thing though. The reason we don't pee outside [though it's entirely legal for us to do so, is that it's too hard to aim, especially if you've a couple of vodkas in you. You only end up piddling on the side of your leg....... though don't men find those "golden shower" things hot?HA]

Girls can wear skirts or trousers and be sexy in both. Men in skirts - ehhhhhh no. Not even kilts!

The whole men-not-getting-pregnant thing also rattles my cage; they can just dip the wick and that's it. Left up to the woman to deal with the consequences should there be any!

Men think lesbians are hot, when in fact they're not. Bisexual women are hot. Lesbian women are butch and manly.

Men are "better" [note the quotation marks] than women as they can fling on a pair of jeans and a shirt, slick a bit of gel on the hair and away they go to the pub. Women feel uneasy wearing the same top out twice in case someone realises they wore it before. [Not me, I always wear the same clothes!]

Damn, I was supposed to be turning this around into why men AREN'T better than women, guess I kinda failed eh..... in parts!!!

Women do have it better. We can get drunk etc. easier, saving money. (although I don't drink so this doesn't apply to me!!)
Women in general get away with allot more especially getting into pubs/clubs.
We don't have to go looking for a guy on a night out, they come to us and all we have to do is take our pick!

Why is it that NEARLY every woman I hear talk about this fails to note that IT'S ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR POWER TO NOT GET PREGNANT FROM SEX.

I dunno if that makes us better...smarter yes....which i guess makes us better. So it turns out that I do know! The ability to be totally comfortable in whatever's nearest to hand makes us better!

Yayyyyyy!!!

i'm so glad someone cleared that up for me.

Ah ha. Yeah I'd fully agree though, there's some women out there who really aren't helping the rest of ye with their carry on. Best off distancing yourself from them tbh. My girlfriend fully distances herself from feminists anyway and has not a good word to say about them.

I've yet to meet a girl who fits that description, thankfully most aren't the type to start crying over literally anything though (particularly when something doesn't go their way).

you can understand how things work, and can fix them

you know more about cars than what colour it is

you can parallel park

when you have a car crash it's a proper one and not just paint scratches

grey hair is no biggie

Well no, I don't have a problem with moderate feminists (and would classify myself as one): women (and some men) who are simply trying to challenge certain gender stereotypes and certain "rules" and beliefs that are imposed on women. But unfortunately, a lot of said imposing is done by other women - e.g. women saying crap like "she shouldn't be dressed like that at her age" - minor I know, but it's so obnoxious and it kinda sums up a lot of the sexist, ageist crap perpetuated by women themselves. A guy would just think "she's hot for a 45-year-old" or maybe just "she's hot". But with certain women she has to be judged just because she has the "audacity" to wear a short skirt and not be under 35.
But man-hating does not come into it (a lot of the time I prefer the company of guys to that of girls) and I like to look as good as I possibly can and embrace my femininity, and I love buying clothes, lingerie, make-up, getting my hair done etc.
I would also be concerned about accepted male stereotypes - I think the way men are depicted in e.g. radio ads (as utter idiots) is appalling.
And I really don't have time for excessively girly types out of whose mouths the Malibu Stacey catchphrases wouldn't sound amiss. I came across a few of those in The Ladies' Lounge and couldn't resist taking the piss so I had to stay out of the LL for a while. Have to say though, it's improved hugely since.

this (the quote) is GENIUS !! i nearly fell off the chair with how far out of left field that one came

maybe theres an x rated version of "lost " where we can find out

in regards to the whole women being againts women thing i have to fess up and say i dont think ive ever heard a guy call a woman a slut that he wasnt dating and had just found out she's sleeping with someone else.

in the main what ive seen is women calling women sluts and slagging off how they dress. whilst ive stated in another thread i like the more smart casual look the very worst reaction ive ever had to a scantilly clad girl is to burst out laughing at it (seriously if you cant sit down in it why are you wearing it

). ive never looked down at it.... well unless your meant to and TBH clothes are the last thing on a guys mind

personally i put it down the insecurity. blokes NEVER do this

One advantage women do have is that they don't have to deal with getting awkward erections on public transport.

Guys still win hands down though, for many reasons. E.g. guys get soccer/rugby/gaa as our main sports, women get netball.
