Men want competition, power and sex. And we want those things we go for them, instead of complaining to the opposite sex and society about it. Thats the main gap there. So you point to the injustices here, whos suppoused to do anything about them? Men dont want justice, equality and respect. Men want competition, power and sex.

Most of the things listed here are obviously very serious problems that need to be fixed, but a few of them either have a (loose) justification or a male comparison. Number 5 - the income gap. Lets think of it this way, the average female is 5'4 140 pounds, the average male is around 5'10 180 pounds. I need to eat at least 20 cents on the dollar more than you do. Now that's considering the rest of an individuals expenditure is identical just scaled differently. Society still expects women to 'beautify' themselves on their dollar among many other things so an equal wage is still something to strive for. Number 7 - health care. Women statistically use health care more frequently than men do and also live longer. If you use something more than someone else you should pay for a higher percentage of it. Though this is related strongly to number 5 and because of that gap charging more isn't socially responsible. Is being a women a pre-existing condition? Yes, just like how different races have different predispositions through evolution. Yet the overlap with each individual is so strong to render those differences meaningless. Number 8 - genital mutilation. I'm going to sound defensive here but please forgive me. If anyone who reads this prefers circumcised males to an unmutilated penis you lose the right to state your opinion. How about we all just agree to stop cutting parts off babies.

Speaking of things we’ve read, I have read that while a woman’s biggest fear of a man is that he would physically hurt her, a man’s biggest fear of a woman is that she would laugh at him. @ Robin: I agree.

I guess we could say that humans are often more than unkind to one another. Woman educate men... best wishes Ribbon I have read that there are more recorded acts of violence against men in any one day than there are against woman.
