drinking women can be jealous of other women, and men can be jealous of women as well.

If you reject a man, or vice versa, there is most definitely hell to pay in far too many cases.

Men can pat themselves on the back as much as they want to. It is a woman's decision on what to do,

has nothing to do with the male input. I have yet to have a male seduce me and have his way with

me without my total knowledge and understanding of the situation. That being said, if it ended

abruptly, I couldn't have cared less. wink a lot of men need to get over themselves.

What is it with men and women nowadays??? I see far too much finger

pointing and blame-gaming going on! If only we could just accept each

other's dfferences life could be so much easier...

I just get the idea that the one always thinks the other somehow

has it easier than they do and this makes cause for so much bitching

and moaning it's just getting hopeless! If you need someone to blame

then blame modern society for making us all far too fussy and giving

us all too high expectations!!!frustrated

Sorry, yeah I know, it's just some of the opinions that I see that get to me that's all.

Another thing that get's to me are all these "men vs women" threads - we all know we are different so why bother???

If you want my opinion I could say men are given an awefully hard time by women sometimes - we are constantly being made out to be walking hard-ons who would say or do just about anything to get what we want, often with total disregard for anyone else! Women on the otherhand are made out to be the "innocent victims" whenever the "evil man" has his way... frustrated

Could a few men here maybe post a some of their own examples of when a women has taken advantage of them? I'm sure there are plenty!

I think there is a lot to this question.

I think for several hundred years things have been turned around a little backwards where the men were expected to choose their mate. I think today things have kind of balanced out a little bit where it is a mutual agreement between both people, but it confuses me as the rest of the animal kingdom the females choose their mates. Do not get me wrong I am NOT a feminist! I am just asking that you sit back and look at the social implications of such a social structure. professor

More then that, I believe that women get labeled for such things like having multiple partners because of the days when men couldn't be sure if the baby was theres. Its only been a comparatively short period of time that accurate DNA tests have been available.... and I think our society is still adjusting to such technology. professor

hope your all doing well!

I never play the innocent victim-I DON'T CARE.....that being said, I don't take advantage of anyone. If I don't like them, I let them know somehow-but trust me when I say, it's equivalent when anyone feels scorned, men and women can be just as bad as each other. As far as your opinion goes, I did state in my opinion that no man has "his way" with a woman without her consent. dunno

You know what, that is the way it has been, that is the way it is, and that is the way it will continue to be, until some earth shattering, catostaphic, apocalyptic event happens to change that....

It's a male dominated view. Men think it's cool cause it elevates their masculinity. Meanwhile men want to hold women to a certain standard which can arguably come from religions....waiting till marriage to have sex. So the men have taken the courtesy to judge women, but not themselves.

I find that American men really do hold on to this notion much stronger than northern Europeans....

Well you know how they say what's good for the goose is good for the gander well...it goes both ways professor

Society puts clear cut standards on women that we should be prim and proper and not be out of line or speak our minds or do what feels right. Well it's all a bunch of hoopla!

It's about time that women broke out of the molds and be who they are and want to be and not who others want them to be including society...What's so hard about being your own person?

I can't see why a woman can't have sex for pleasure just as much as a man can! D'oh!
