MSN Surprises with Article on Infidelity
posted by Matt on 11:54 AM November 20th, 2005
The Media Expecting the usual "it's all guys doing it" subtext, I was pleasantly surprised to read this on MSN. Despite the title it directly states, and repeatedly, that women cheat as often as men. Refreshing coming from MSN.

I am not so sure that's true. It seems that men and women cheat at about the same rates. There is also reporting lapses, ie, not everyone 'fesses up to it.

"Who are they cheating with?"

In my experience, with un-married younger men. Or was that supposed to imply that men are MORE culpable than women..?

This is exactly the question. There are two answers I can think of:

1. There is one extremely busy woman out there.
2. Women lie massively about sex. (I'm beginning to see a pattern; Norma McCorvey of Roe v. Wade fame, Tailhook, the list goes on...)

I am left to wonder if perhaps women (these days) actually may be cheating MORE than men. But the media, in all their objectiveness (sarcasm) just aren't going to report THAT little doozy.

.. but I noticed that MSN no longer has a "Womens" section. I'm not sure why they decided to change, but it doesn't really matter, most of their stories still seem to cater to womens'interests. Their approach is odd. I believe it remains true that a majority of computer and internet users are men, one would think that they would cater to men more than women...

I only see one statement that says women cheat as much as men, and that's about 40% down the article where a large percentage of readers won't go, plus it's an opinion by an interviewee rather than a statement by the article writer. The first section where most people read is strictly concentrated on men-only cheating.

This is known as CYA but still getting the impression across that predominantly men cheat that you really want to convey.

Note the BS comment in one subsection, "...Men are still out of the house more than women..." which I think is also BS. Men and women are both working these days and women do more shopping and gallivanting around whether they work or not while men are predominantly at work making the lion's share of the household support (in most cases).

So to is monogomy according to the current understandings of prominent Psychological Associations.
So, gentlemen...see why we lose our father's rights? We just aren't cut out for this crap. We ARENT. We aren't monogomous, we can't do it. We aren't family creatures, as hard as we try. Oh we can get married and try to cheat a little on the computer at night while the war department is upstairs asleep or jack off to cable movies and pretend everything is ok in the morning or stop by the titty bar on the way home and watch other people's wives and mothers spin around poles. But we are kidding ourselves. We lust in our hearts at the very least. We can't do this right. Look at the divorce rate. i think many of us get married just so we'll have a female to use for baby vending. Then when we're miserable a few years later, we don't understand why. Why don't we just accept that it's not right for us. i'm okay with truth. NO CAN DO.

i meant to add that if women are now cheating as much as we always have been, then maybe we're seeing the beginning of the end of the monogomous marital thing coming down the road. Otherwise this is a non- issue since we geve women permission to cheat when WE do. We kinda have to swallow this one. No biggie.

Every time this poster posts he/she/it (probably an "it" knowing feminists!) gets a clearly stated rebuttal.
--------------------------------------------

Whoever is writing these blurbs about the 19th amendment is probably a feminist, not a men’s rights activist.

They are employing a fairly simple strategy, “guerrilla tactics”. Basically, this individual is attempting to imply that repealing the right to vote is actually a goal of the men’s rights movement. This is totally bogus. By implying these false goals, the individual is transparently attempting to marginalize the movement.

How? By making the men’s movement seem very extreme, nobody will take it seriously and many will ignore its legitimate goals, which are:

    - fairness in the family courts,
    - criminalization of false accusations of child molestation/abuse (should lead to jail time, automatic loss of custody, and forfeiture of divorce settlements),
  - criminalization of paternity fraud (a.k.a. “female rape”, must be severely punished),
  - end of "victim" excuse for murder (like when women kill their husbands and/or children),
    - end to preferential treatment of women in the work force (“affirmative action”; that is, discrimination against middle class men in the work force),
    - end of insulting and derogatory images of men in the media and entertainment industry,
    - end to anti-boy policies in the schools,
    - the defeat of feminism,
    - etc.

I’ve NEVER heard anybody seriously advocate eliminating women’s right to vote. Don’t fall for it folks!!!

I totally disagree. Not all women vote with the feminazis, yet surprisingly, a lot of men do. This has got to change.

Once men realize they're getting totally screwed-over by the system, they'd vote accordingly. That is, they'd vote for fairness and justice, and their own self preservation. I think a lot of women would probably do the same (they’re not all twisted feminists, many have sons and husbands!).

This is a huge voting block. We just need to de-stigmatize men's rights. We can't be worried about being labeled or called names by feminists. They are the ones who are against justice now!

I just got totally sick of these cowardly, no-brain, name-calling anonymous posters and have set this website's filter to filter out all anonymous postings from my screen whenever I come here.

Anyone else here who would like to do the same, click on the "User Preferences" link at the left side of your screen under "Navigation". Then click on the "Customize Comments" link near the top, right part of your screen. Under Comment Options, go to "Comment Display Threshold" and change it to "1: Filters most anonymous comments". Then save the change.

It works! At that point, all the anonymous posters can all talk to themselves. Ha! ha! Ha! :-]

Use the anonymous entry vulnerability to "plant" ridiculous misogynist posts, then "expose" the site as a bunch of anti-women Neanderthals.

It may be time for MANN to review it's anonymous option...

This has been brought up in the not too distant past and management has stated their position that we should ignore all trolls. They accept no responsibility for fixing this problem.

So our only solution is deafening silence.

By the way, once you do this, the program tells you how many posts have been filtered as opposed to not filtered. The anonymous posters have pretty much taken over this site as the majority of posts at this point are anonymous. What a drag! It's no wonder this site is going downhill as fast as it is.

well, if nothing else, perhaps the I.P. addresses of trolls should be banned.
In other words if you come here and troll the site and keep leaving stupid posts like: "ban the 19th amendment" and other such garbage eventually your I.P. is banned.

Mikeeusa:

If you are indeed a foe of feminism as you purport to be, then why are you attempting to damage, discredit and derail the men's movement by making the kind of statements that you are making on this web board?

I am neither endorsing nor condemming the ideas which you have expressed. I am posing a simple question. Why are you so friggin' STUPID?

At the very least (at least in theory), you would learn how to converse elliptically and encryptically. Know what I'm saying?

I believe that you indeed ARE a feminist, despite what you appear to say.
