A Sunbeam in a Forest Glade
Ahh. . . wisdom from the mouths of t-shirts!
Well all right, so it wasn't literally a t-shirt. It was a sweatshirt.
I was wandering in the aisles of my local market today when I spotted this particular sweatshirt. A man was wearing it; a middle-aged man of quite unthreatening appearance—portly, bald-headed, bespectacled. And across his chest, in a maroon-colored serif font, this quick rhetorical query:

is there to hear him, is he still wrong?"

LMAO I love that quote! :)
@PM:
Yes, I was partial to it myself. It cuts in a few directions at once; it is open-ended. In fact, it operates rather the way feminism operates, although it is surely not feminism! ;)
and if a chinese man speaks in a forest, and no woman is there to hear him, is he still Wong ?
hardy-har-harr! ;)
Thought you might find some of this interesting.

Knock, knock. Anyone home?
.......
I just had to check out the sites PM likes. Pretty erotic writing on some on the 50 plus women's sites......
Ah, the child within. What a weird world we live in.
Deep thought
I can see the connection and now I understand why some women want to be submissive to men and some men want to be submissive to women.
Shallow thought
Or is it that women become more confident and comfortable as they age?
No thought
I've just got to make a big about this in NZ where we have a 'no smacking law'. lol
CF,
This is an example of what I mentioned earlier regarding economics and women:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601101&sid=aoh23J2YSp8A&refer=japan
"Japanese Women Hunt for Husbands as Refuge From Deepening Slump"
" March 18 (Bloomberg) -- When Yumiko Iwate’s pay was cut last year, she and her female colleagues all agreed there was only one thing to do: find a husband.
“I want to get married soon, hopefully by the end of this year,” said Iwate, a 36-year-old employee at a mail-order retailer in Tokyo. “The recession made me realize I’m not going to make as much money as I expected, and I’d be more stable financially if I had double income to fall back on.”
Women the Japanese call “marriage-hunters” are looking to tie the knot as companies from Toyota Motor Corp. to Sony Corp. fire thousands of workers and the nation heads for its biggest annual economic contraction since 1945. Marriages surged to a five-year high of 731,000 in 2008 as wages stagnated and the unemployment rate rose for the first time in six years.
“Financial concerns are a major reason for the increase in marriage-hunting,” said Toshihiro Nagahama, chief economist at Dai-Ichi Life Research Institute in Tokyo. “Women are motivated more than ever to find a financially sound partner.”"
This is the perfect illustration of the predatory attitude that so many women have; they believe they have a perfect right to find a man to marry for their own selfish and purely economic reasons. "What can he do for me today?"
@All:
Greetings. Due to this-and-that, I have been cut off from cyberworld for about 4 days. But now I am back . . .
@NotNOW:
Those women are drawing from the common reservoir of human venality.
I suppose that some (old school) feminist would pop up and declare: "That is not how feminism is supposed to be!!"
But I would reply that those women (in the article) are indeed feminist to the core. REAL feminism (as opposed to the window-dressing kind of feminism) is all about female supremacism. And female supremacism means nothing if not exploiting men for the benefit of women . . .
