are an unpleasant necessity of life and should be avoided as much as possible.

Just a general response to all the threads pertinent to women on here. It's amazing how much happier most men would be if they realized that more efficient, less stressful alternatives exist to attaching yourself to a skirt.

clement does seem happier than most of the rest of us...

And doc has sent me some excellent safe-and-approved links...

I love women. They are totally worth the trouble.

As much as my wife drives me crazy, I still love her, and if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have my beautiful daughter.

Kids are the best and I love my niece. But I realize I'll most likely never be able to find a middle ground and will probably adopt.

Too many people go through life deluding themselves that there's this person out there just for them, and cause themselves incredible grief in the process. Alot of folks would be much happier if they knew they'd be better off alone.

A lot of anti-woman threads lately...

I think most people here are smart enough to know that anytime you try to develop or have a relationship that close to another human, you're going to have issues. This applies to males or females. The way to deal with it is perspective. If it's not that big a deal, then it shouldn't bother you, nor should you make it an issue. If it is that big a deal, then move on. It's really not that complicated (unless there are kids involved). The same holds true for life at large, professional life, etc. I never understand why men apply this mystique specific to the female gender. Maybe it's because I've never held men at large responsible for any relationship trouble I've encountered in the past.

Wasn't really meant to be an anti-woman thread, just stating that conventional relationships don't work for everyone.

And a significant portion of our generation was raised in single parent households, usually with several women. I doubt this idea of "feminine mystique" is as omnipresent as you think it is.

The thread title lead me to believe the rant was about females. When you elaborated later, I got your drift.

"Women weaken legs"
