WHY MEN ARE SELDOM DEPRESSed




Men Are Just Happier People --




What do you expect from such simple creatures?




Your last name stays put.




The garage is all yours.




Wedding plans take care of themselves.




Chocolate is just another snack...




You can never be pregnant.




You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.




You can wear NO shirt to a water park.




Car mechanics tell you the truth.




The world is your urinal.




You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.




You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.




Wrinkles add character.




Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100.




People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.




New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.




One mood all the time.




Phone conversations areoverin 30 seconds flat.




You know stuff about tanks.




A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.




You can open all your own jars.




If someone forgets to invite you,

He or she can still be your friend.




Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.




Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.




Everything on your face stays its original color.




The same hairstyle lasts for years, even decades.




You only have to shave your face and neck.




You can play with toys all your life.




One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons.




You can wear shorts nomatterhow your legs look.

You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife.




You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.




You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives

On December 24 in 25 minutes.




Men Are Just Happier People
 
NICKNAMES




If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman.




EATING OUT




When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back




When the girls get their bill, outcome the pocket calculators...YEP!!!




MONEY




A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.




A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.




BATHROOMS




A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.




The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.




ARGUMENTS




A woman has the last word in any argument.




Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.




FUTURE




A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.




A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.




MARRIAGE




A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.




A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.




DRESSING UP




A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.




A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.




NATURAL




Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.




Women somehow deteriorate during the night.




OFFSPRING




Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.




A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.







THOUGHT FOR THE DAY




A married man can forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!




SO,send this to the women who have a sense of humorand to the men who will enjoyreading it!!

It's funny but no there's nothing feminist about this at all. Feminism is about loving all people and letting all have a fair chance at achieving their dreams and hopes.
 
Offspring
Women know who the father is
Men, not so much
 
Modern Feminism does not bash men.
We have stepped back at least 50 years here in the USA and I apologize. I feel shocked and yet @ellagy warned us that this could happen a few weeks ago. Blake Shelton also read the mood of white men without college degrees and predicted this. This is the nature of our democracy though. It swings from progressive to conservative with a few wild cards in between. We do have checks and balances to blunt the volatility of changing every four years. He can not do a lot of what he promised in the campaign because of these checks and balances. I also reexamine my own actions and find that I did do everything I could. It just means we will have work extra hard to maintain the good change we have gained under President Obama. My healthcare is safe until December at least but in jeopardy after that.. Someone has already tried to break into my email and twitter accounts last night. We still have free speech here and I anticipate a lot of civil rights lawsuits as this unfolds. Please hold your hugs I may need them later but at this time I am just energized to work locally for tolerance and justice.

I thought it meant burning your bra?
 
Feminism is most definitely not about that. Trust me, I've had the misfortune of knowing a few of them and they are bat sh!t crazy.

Don't confuse feminism with equality. The two are very different.
 
Difference feminism is based on the assumption that women and men are different, that for women to be equal to men means to be like men, which is not desirable. Instead of equality, difference feminism is based on women having freedom.

I remember seeing a joke,

When a girl says she'll be ready in 5 minutes she's using the same time frame as a man who says the football game will be over in five minutes.

Peter that was a blast from the past. Probably before most of these guys were born-I remember it from when I was a small child. Do you remember the old bras with the stays in them?

I remember them well the number of times I got my fingers hurt by those stays, and my face slapped too.

Can you imagine how confining and uncomfortable they must have been? Wasn't the bra burning part of the protest against the Vietnam war? Men burned their draft cards and women burned their bras? Or was I just too young to understand what was going on?
 
@Robinredbreast, @peterjones6000, @mc9, @anyoneelsewhoisinterested When I say I am a feminist I am speaking about my perspective in doing the work I trained for, I use Feminist and empowerment theory and social work practice
this article has that title and explains it pretty well if you are interested: www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/02650533.2014.941282 the author is S.G. Turner.
This whole forum pretty well uses the idea as well by letting people find their own way with positive encouragement by others and providing a few key insights at opportune moments.
