Maxim Women: We Make Better Men

The Media Anonymous User writes "Unfortunately, today everything has to get filtered though a women's perspective. Read this article and see what you think... "Guys are given a bad rap. They are sensitive and caring and all this stuff, but it's just a matter of semantics. If you ask a guy `Do you care about your relationship?' he'll say no. But if you say `Do you want to have more sex?' Yes. `Do you want to fight less?' Yes. It's semantics. We are just giving men the room to be who they are,'' she adds." It is important to remember that men are also individuals. Note: This was the 2,000th story posted to Mensactivism.org!

It's sad, but it seems so many women can't conceive of a life that doesn't revolve around themselves. I think some of them are so vain and selfish (and have been taught that such behaviour is acceptable) that they can't tolerate the thought that, just maybe, men *aren't* thinking of them all the time. So they simply deny it.

For them, men only come into existence when they have an impact -- good or bad -- on women. This helps to explain the almost completely cavalier attitude of many women to men's suffering and pain. It's not even on the radar for them -- they're not affected, so it doesn't exist, or at least it's not important enough to matter.

Their usual response to a story of men's suffering is a confused expression and, "So what? They're just *men*. I mean, who cares?" Often followed by some litany of imagined wrongs supposedly done to some person in the past, which apparently justifies the very real and intentional malicious harm being perpetrated against men.

Given that the women of Maxim have expressed a view sympathetic to men, which is very uncharacteristic for women today, I guess the obvious conclusion is that it's not the woman of Maxim who make better Men, but the men of Maxim who make better women.
