Masculinity radikal writes "Shana Davidson, a blogger and graduate of Hampshire College, posited her ideas about the five different types of men and the "rules" of dealing with them. A year later, she reconsidered it. Read the original post at the bottom in bold first, then go back to the top for best results. http://beltwaybloggers.com/bloggers/shana/manmatrix.html"

Well, "ladies", here is something for you to think about. Yeah, guys, I know it's a bit slimy, but as I said before, it seems the language feminist bullies understand is a dose of their own medicine. Here is a post I found on Google:

Just copy and paste into your browser and it should work.

Thanks for the save, Thomas. It worked when I did the copy and paste befor, but not this time. But again, it has been that kind of day here. If you haven't seen the news yet, a big tornado hit Kansas City today, and guess who was in the thick of it? The thing just NARROWLY missed my place, and it killed at least one person. I was in the debris cloud area. There is furniture and other objects scattered about, and the shutters from a home hanging in a tree behind my place.

I think I speak for more than just myself, Freebird, when I say, We're glad you're okay, and our prayers are with you and all the victims of that storm.

This was a very good "advice article".

And painfuly TRUE!

Frankly, though, if men are going to be "submissive", then I again must ask the question; "What are we fighting for?"

If we want EQUALITY in law, relationships or what ever, how can it be possible (to have equality) when one is "dominant" over one, and one is "submissive" to the other.
Sorry, but this sounds too much like the type of wussy-poopie men that are causeing alot of the problem in the first place.
Feminism COUNTS on "submissive" males...!

Maybe it's my Indian blood, but I would NEVER be submissive to ANYONE, but my Creator.
As Abe Lincoln once said; "I would not wish to be a slave, therefore I would not want to make a slave of others."

Whith men becomeing the "submissive" gender, then the feminists have ALREADY won.
So, once again, I must ponder my reasons to fight in the men's movement.

Thundercloud,

Thanks for the prayers. I am thankful I came out unscathed. except lost power for a few hours. Many of my neighbors in the towns around me did not fare so well.

You're exactly right about the wimpy men, but I don't think the article was directed at guys like us who no longer take female BS lying down. Something else to ponder: after one takes out all the types of women to avoid for marriage out of the running, there's no one left, unless you want to move to a foreign country and marry.

Just because those wimps are waiting in line for their dog collars and leashes doesn't mean we have to. They can kiss my Freebird behind!

Thundercloud,

While I'm in a joking mood, you know what the difference is between a job and a woman?

After five years, the job still sucks!

Excellent find, Radikal.
Thank you for posting that.

Fascinating to be reminded how much time and effort women devote to understanding and explaining men.
Men still are the focus of women's thinking.

On the other hand, if men put so much time and effort into thinking about women, we would never accomplish much.

Mr. Dave.

And you'd think that all the time women spend "understanding" and "explaining" men, they'd get it RIGHT once in a blue moon. But they rarely if ever even come CLOSE!
I mean, how can anyone spend so MUCH time thinking about something and be wrong about it 99% to 100% of the time, EVERY time?

"4. The Boyfriend. These are nice guys. You have a lot in common. He makes you laugh. You like to talk to each other. You can see yourself spending time with him. There are some important things missing from your checklist of what you want in a husband, but you think that if he treats you right you might be able to overlook those things. You are willing to give him some time to overcome them.

5. The Husband. Whether or not you believe in marriage doesn't really matter. Husbands are men you can marry or simply spend years with. These guys have most of the properties you want in a man (no one has them all). You can have great conversations. You can disagree without fighting. You can sit in a room together without talking. Your parents will like him. You'll probably pick the same china pattern."

The refreshing thing about this, you'll all be glad to know, is her belief that this gives women "power" is what will set them up by believing such, since she doesn't know squat about men, OR women's attraction to them; women, it seems, will never have the ability for understanding the difference between what they SAY they want, and what they end up going with.
Women will never admit they want a man who is assertive, dominant, authoritarian, richer, wiser, etc.-- in short, a father-figure; their immature egos won't allow it.
Note how Freud had no hesitation to theorize the Oedipus complex, which was a blatant admission to frustrated rejection of women's rejection of a boy's maleness, however women reject outright the notion of wanting a male authority figure-- which is why they're attracted to men in uniform, men of power, wealth, physical prowess etc.
The same wishful thinking among men who want to be "friends" with women and who then get stepped on after lowering themselves to accomodate them, is the same wishful thinking that is the downfall of these women who want to pretend they're not interested in a man to wear the pants in a relationship, and will try to step into them if he won't despite a most uncomfortable fit.

I just love how she's put men into categories based on their relation to women. How very... accurate.

She strikes me as another person who is bewildered by the mess that feminism has reeked (and it certainly does reek) on society. She's casting about for answers... rules that she can "live by" and gain some kind of handle on life. The problem I see is that if she thinks that lumping men into groups is going to help a problem that's fundamentally in HER head, she's got some learning left to do.

The fact that she's on the cusp of recognizing the power that women have wielded through time is interesting. I doubt any feminist will ever be able to admit such power, because it nullifies the holy victimhood that is the basis of their crusade.
