Grrr...

To be fair, realize that if they did not do this, clubs would be even more of a sausage fest than they already are. Those considerations are given to attract more women to that bar to make your night more enjoyable.

I guess this could be seen as a case of the "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" because frankly, from where I sit I don't feel "favored" or "protected" by any means.

Two words: Tittle XXII in college sports. I can't believe nobody brings this up yet.

Then we have such things such as ladies nights at clubs/bars and they get free/discount drinks.

Let not forget about the marriage/divorce/child supoort thing.

I hate the most about the feminist nazi women <especially in the workplace> that scream/demand equal rights for everything but then expect us guys to open doors/pay the diner bill/give them break/being a nice guy/etc. If you ask us to treat you as equal, then we will treat you equal ALL THE TIME. Feminist women can't pick and choose when and where or how.

Changing the Sparkletts water bottle at work. These women feel it is their right to take as much water as they want and then expect the next man that comes in to change the bottle for them. I have never seen a woman even ask for help in doing this, let alone attempt to do it themselves.

I think it's because many men are not truly familiar with feminist movements. What we are exposed to through news media labeled as "feminist movements" is usually some woman politician trying to win the female vote or some extreme feminist person/organization. I believe that this causes many people to be skeptical of feminism.

Duh, OPENING DOORS!

Guys are still expected to open doors for women who are just as physically capable because it is good manners. Guys when was the last time a woman opened the door for you, and I am not talking about when you were caring three boxes in to a building?

I am not against opening doors for the elderly, handicapped or anyone who needs a hand, but ?pretty women? simply expect men to do it for them.

They both drive exactly the same car, same year, model etc.
The only difference between them, one's a man and one's a women.

The women will have the lower premium's based on nothing but gender. Therefore, sexual discrimination.

Insurance companies are legally allowed to be sexist, but not racist. No one dares do a study on accident breakdowns by race. It's kind of interesting, really.

Women have the advantage in almost any legal situation.

That changed in Switzerland. IIRC, there's one insurance which doesn't insure people from the Balkan or let them pay a very high premium.

What people ahve said is true, car insurance wise, woman have more little accidents, often due to a lack of spacial awareness, and being distracted (putting on eye liner anyone?), whereas when men crash, man do they crash.

Probably average costs of a crash involving a:

Woman : Replacement 'fender', maybe some glass broken

Man : At least one new car, possibly up to and including 7.



Probable cause of crash:

Woman : Incompetence, distraction, minor misjudgement of size/distance

Man : Massive misjudgement of abilities of either himself, or his tyres/brakes/engine and/or drifting attempt.



Probable speed at 'impact' :

Woman : between 0 and 25mph

Man : Above 50mph. Upper limit probably never found.

:D
All so true...

This is true, and somewhat so in my household. My gf does a lot of the housework, but mostly because I wouldn't do it "right" if I did more to help her. That said, I ask her what she wants me to do and I usually do my part. In addition, I do things that she can't/doesn't know how to/doesn't want to, like fix the computers, do basic maintenance on the cars, and move heavy things. I think it evens out nicely :D
