“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”

C.S. Lewis, The Abolition Man

Men are the conveyors of rape, killing, violence and patriarchal control of women, children for power and wealth....

Give us time to figure it how to be men without being violent... and women... stop trying to be so much like us to get ahead in a 'man's world..'

Every sitcom on TV nowadays has a smart and witty gay guy who is way smarter than any straight male character and the obligatory smart and witty wife who has to keep an eye on her dumb and bumbling husband who can't fight his way out of a paper bag!!! Now think about the 50's and 60's TV shows, the men were always in charge, smart and in total control of most situations.. funny thing is men are still men, but TV/Media portrays most men, especially white guys as idiots! Think "Modern Family" "everybody loves Raymond" "Friends" etc etc the list goes on and on...Except in REAL life its the opposite, Last month after the Hurricane hit New Jersey/NY the day after the Men came out and rescued the women and children/elderly, the men broke out their tools and muscle to clean up the mess, and the Men got filthy and dirty doing the crappy work that most women would never do, like pulling out 85lb sheets of soaking wet insulation from a muddy, wet, and cold 18inch crawl space under a house, all while the women stayed home and sobbed, watched TV,etc etc...but mark my word after the mess is cleaned up by the men, as it always is, the women and gays will come out into the clean sunshine and proclaim they deserve equality and are so much smarter than those dopey men!!!
I have nothing against women or homosexuals, just stating facts and true life as I see it every day in the REAL world...

Hmm, seems to me every sitcom is an ugly fat guy with a drop dead gorgeous wife. Totally realistic...

You've noticed that too?! I can't think of any show that has a homely wife and a studly husband.

Hmmm, could it be that women judge men on their personalities and character and men judge women on physical attributes.....

Or it could be that most sitcoms and (ironically) reality shows are completely out of touch with reality.

That too---and reality shows are anything but reality. If I was offered a spot on "Survivor" imagine how out of touch they are!

Unless the guy is completely rich and famous. In which case, it would be totally realistic.
