No Wine Without Wife's Permission?

	posted by Thomas on 01:46 PM November 4th, 2004
	It seems that in Bihar, India, men may soon face three years in prison if they consume alcohol without written permission from their wives. Sometimes I think that instead of throwing a party for a man before he gets married, his male friends and family members should dress him up like a corpse, have him lie in a coffin, and hold a funeral ceremony.

Won't stop drinking but will stop weddings (Score:1) by mcc99 on 10:34 PM November 4th, 2004 EST (#1) (User #907 Info) LOL.... well I feel for any man already married living there. Perhaps if such a law is passed and actually somehow upheld by the courts in India, what instead you will see is men simply leaving that part of the country in droves. Perhaps this is secretly what the authors of the bill want. In any case anyone with a real drinking problem will not stop drinking because he needs permission from his old lady. Anyone married man without one who also likes what can fairly be described as some semblance of liberty will simply leave the place, assuming he realizes what such a law implies or entails. The rest of the men will, if they still have an IQ left that hasn't been appropriated by Indian feminists, stay single. But men should stay single anyway no matter where they live. I mean, after all, if women can do it and be proud of it as such (see for example http://www.luckyspinster.com ), so should men, right? ;)

Men's Studies Classes (Score:2) by Thomas on 01:11 PM November 5th, 2004 EST (#2) (User #280 Info) This sort of madness makes me think of what fine men's studies classes would teach. To wit: Men gain nothing through marriage and risk losing a great deal including their possessions, their freedom, and even their lives. Roughly half of rape accusations are false. Men must work together to have laws put in place to severely punish false accusers. The courts are utterly corrupt, handing down far more severe sentences for men than for women when they have committed the same crime. There's so much more! Gawd! Good men's studies classes would be extremely informative and could be a hell of a lot of fun. Imagine the discussion sessions: How has society railroaded you or any other male that you know for being male? What are you going to do about the injustice, even if you haven't yet been a target?

They could cover similarities and differences between the various movements. Though my politics tend to be somewhat liberal, and I've voted for Democrats in the recent past far more often than for Republicans, one interesting parallel, which I think would be worthy of study, is the similarity between the racism of the Democratic Party before, during, and for some time after the Civil War and the burgeoning misandry of the Democratic Party today. I'd bet research would uncover numerous statements against blacks (by Democrats back then) and statements against males (by Democrats today) that are nearly if not precisely identical except for the change of wording from "negroes" to "males."

To me it seems simple. If you attack a large number of your voters, ...they AIN'T gonna vote for ya....! The Democrat party has been attacking men for over three decades now. It doesn't make the news but men ARE getting fed up with it. If either party (Democrats or Republicans) went on for thirty years about how awful American-Indians are, how they should lose what they have and should be denied constitutional and civil rights, while another group recieves preferential treatment and SPECIAL rights and privliges, does any one think we Indians would VOTE for them??!!?? Hell, no! This is exactly what the Democrat party has been doing to men. And like I said, we're SICK of it. Untill the Democrats get off the misandy horse, I ain't votein' for even ONE of 'em!   Thundercloud.   "Hoka hey!"
