"Court OKs Barring High IQs for Cops ... The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court’s decision that the city did not discriminate against Robert Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test"

WTF? I can't believe judges could be this stupid - there must be another explanation.

& replies

1. According to studies men already do more than 50% of the housework, unless you think lawn care, home and car maintenance arent "housework"

2. Why? I have my own friends why do I have to do more than half the work to maintain friendships with people my wife picked who I dont like? If she doesnt find these friendships fulfilling why are we keeping them?

3. Buy things for no other reason than they were made by women? Inst that the definition of sexist?

4. Again why? As a man I am far more likely to be assaulted than a woman, ad being near women reduces the likelihood of an assault even further. Why is my real world safety concerns less important than your fake safety concerns? Also men are more likely to be victims of intimate partner abuse then woman are.

5. And rob women of the opportunity to be equals and stand up for themselves? Is this a trap?

6. Believe a womans claims sans evidence for no other reason than she is a woman? Isnt that sexist?

7. Also record it, because unless you have it on tape a woman can just claim there was no consent given and anyone who doesnt take her at her word is a rape apologist

8. This I agree with, never trust a woman to be responsible for contraception

9. This I also agree with

10. Better Idea, just don get married

11. This idea ignores the fact that women routinely force men out of their childrens lives

12. & 13. Make women change the flat tire on the side of the busy highway for once while you as a man bitch to your friend on the phone about how you are going to miss half of the couples massage because shes taking so long

14. But never ask them to do anything kinky because male sexual desires are gross

15. Unless a woman is being sexist, then just agree, otherwise you are a promoter of rape culture

16. Dont spend the money you earn, you are to stupid and irresponsible, give it all to the woman who puts up with you

17. Dont die before you earn enough to ensure a good life for the woman you are with

18. The "line" between noticing and creepiness is how attractive she finds you

19. Ignore the fact that women on average would rather become women studies majors and scold everyone for not hiring enough female experts as opposed to doing the hard work to become those experts themselves

20. Cause lord knows none of them are capable of being heroes without you ignoring the fact that they dont have dicks. I found this suggestion one of the most sexist so far.

21. Apparently womens self esteem comes from outside praise now? I swear if men had written some of these things about women the cries of sexism would still be reverberating thru the nets

22. What if I dont think its wrong? Stupid question, I'm a man I cant ever be right.

23. Right, blame the vicitm

24. I'll work on mine, when you acknowledge yours

25. Why? Women generally dont want to be freinds with guys, none of my female freinds have ever helped me move or gone tool shopping with me. They only want to be friends on their terms, and that really isnt freindship.

26. So I cant just go with the best regardless of sex?

27. What if I dont care to send cards and never have in the past?

28. Aside form religiously orthodox men we dont. Women are the ones who police other women.

29. What happened to giving women space?

30. Why? I dont talk bout other equally ludicrous notions like past life regression or unicorns, so why would I bring up feminism?

31. You give that advice to women as well?

32. What if I dont want others sitting next to me?

33. Prove there actually is income inequality first. Then we'll talk.

The 77% wage gap is a lie manufactured by capping full time work at 35 hrs a week. So a man working 45hs a week and a woman working 35rs a week earning the same per hr amount show the woman earning 23% less and hides the fact she worked 23% less hours.

34. So then you'll carry the 50 lb sack of water softener salt down the stairs while I put away the 3 lbs of veggies we bought?

35. But I'm not, I believe in equality and respect. Feminism promotes lies and sex based hatred

> "35 Practical Steps Men Can Take To Support Feminism"

I'll support feminism the day it becomes pro-human-rights and ceases to be intellectually dishonest and discriminatory and starts to offer guiding philosophy that actually contributes something of actual value that helps real human beings live better lives and create a more ethical society. I'm not holding my breath. Why should I "support" a sexist movement that offers overtly destructive values?
