Ya know, I am so sick of this "men are dogs, women are helpless victims" garbage. Women have more in their favor in divorce court than men will ever have.

No, but I grew up in a home affected by divorce and had my fill of anti-male venom being spewed from a bitter woman, so I don't have much tolerance for it.

That is sad Rico, but you know it goes both ways. There are bitter men also that spew the venom. And being called all kinds of dogs is not a happy place to be.

Sexism is just not thinking one is superior to the other gender but to have distorted views of the roles of the other gender ... such as having warped values attached to the other gender that are not healthy or realistic or culturally accepted.

As generations get more removed of the Norman Rockell painting idol that is reified at the altar of holimess dress theology ... this paradigm will seem more and more extreme, archaic and out of touch.

It all started with Eve, Daniel. And was carried through the scriptures.
