…you’re equating the words patriarchy and feminism. The word matriarchy doesn’t even equate with feminism, since feminism is about equality. Hyenas, for example, are matriarchal. The women run everything and put the safety of the pack before all else.
So yeah,
Except silly is an understatement.
Thank you everyone! I am moving on and allowing things be. I do find it weird she’s trying to stay “relevant” even though she left me? I do have feelings we might reconnect soon
There was a guy on the news some months back that worked for my wife. He was on the news because he blackmailed another (straight?) man for over 300k. In cash over the course of like two years. He started by luring the guy in from an ad on Craig’s list for an explicitly erotic gay massage, then recorded it with a hidden phone/cam.
300k because he didn’t want to tell his wife.
The National Violence Against Women survey found that 21.5 percent of men and 35.4 percent of women living with a same-sex partner experienced intimate-partner physical violence in their lifetimes, compared with 7.1 percent and 20.4 percent for men and women, respectively, with a history of only opposite-sex cohabitation. Transgender respondents had an incidence of 34.6 percent over a lifetime according to a Massachusetts survey.
Good show! Very frum for a shiksa. I knew I liked you.
I wouldn’t say ‘no one’. When there isn’t an individual with a high level of testosterone to overlook nagging, in the hopes of getting lucky, crazy things happen.
So, I read the article and find myself dubious of the claims. It feels very politicized to me. Even the article’s title, “2 Studies That Prove Domestic Violence Is an LGBT Issue,” raises questions in me. Have people been saying violence is NOT an LGBT issue? Which people?
In particular, this:
The CDC’s 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, released again in 2013 with new analysis, reports in its first-ever study focusing on victimization by sexual orientation that the lifetime prevalence of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner was 43.8 percent for lesbians, 61.1 percent for bisexual women, and 35 percent for heterosexual women, while it was 26 percent for gay men, 37.3 percent for bisexual men, and 29 percent for heterosexual men (this study did not include gender identity or expression).
Seems questionable to me. Bisexual women are victimized at this incredible rate by whom? Why are bisexual men victimized at much higher rates than either gay or heterosexual men?
Okay, questions are raised, so of course off I went to google and AGAINST MY VERY WILL went ahead and did a little digging (had a client no-show). Here, for example, is what I consider unbiased information (emphasis mine):
Sexual Minority Women
- According to the CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), there is a higher prevalence of lifetime experiences of IPV among bisexual women than heterosexual women (Walters et al, 2013). Bisexual women are 1.8 times more likely to report ever having experienced IPV than heterosexual women (see Table I). Though the reported lifetime prevalence of IPV among lesbians is higher than heterosexual women, this is not a statistically significant difference.
- According to the NISVS, bisexual women are 2.6 times more likely to report ever having experienced intimate partner sexual violence compared to heterosexual women.
- One study estimated that 3.6% of lesbian women had experienced IPSA in their lifetimes (Messinger, 2011).
- Men and women both contribute to the prevalence of IPV among sexual minority women. For example, the CDC found that 89.5% of bisexual women reported only male perpetrators of intimate partner physical violence, rape, and/or stalking and that almost a third of lesbian women who have experienced such incidents have had one or more male perpetrators.
The study goes on, but I’m out of time again. I’m not positive you’re not correct, but I’m not ready to concede.
Not so fast - I was a wild kid and can still get up to some mischief. But I’m a faithful partner.

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ABUSE AMONG LGBT PEOPLE
A REVIEW OF EXISTING RESEARCH
Taylor N.T. Brown and Jody L. Herman NOVEMBER 2015
What would you say was the point of this post?
I asked him a straight question and he gave me a smart-ass remark and told me to use Google. That’s what I found when I searched.
Congratulations on your ability to use Google.
In regards to the original post, I’d add that it’s also possible that the girl feels like she should like the OP, but just doesn’t actually feel like she likes him. That is, her family and brain tell her that he’s a great guy and she should like him, but he just doesn’t actually do it for her.
This doesn’t really change what the OP should do, but it’s another possible perspective.
So adult of you.
Once again, you’re killing a thread with your inability to to grasp the nuances and continual low brow posts.
Go ahead and fall back on your juvenile soy boy rhetoric.
You were the one who called yourself a soy boy, I just made a couple jokes and you lost it. Seems like you still haven’t gotten over it either. Sad.
As predicted. And, out of context to boot.
Sad that you haven’t grown up.
Yes, you took two words from my post out of context.
And you are what, 50-something?
Well Emily, things like the photo you posted still happen. It’s unfortunate, but there hwill always be terrible people in the world. I don’t think that any amount of cultural pressure for “equality” would make a man suddenly change from a brutal wife beater to a nice guy.
Even though women had less rights back in the day, it was never ok to beat your wife and men would go to jail then too. I certainly don’t think married life back then was a life of enslavement and regular beatings that some might want you to believe.
There might be a difference of the small town cop who would let a man slide if he grabbed or shook his wife , but I cannot imagine any cop at any time, letting a man walk free after doing a number on his wife like the one in the picture.
Also to be clear, the original movement which gave women the right to vote, the ability to drive, more protection from violent husbands and so forth, is a completely different animal than what we’re seeing with 3rd wave feminism. 3rd wave feminism seeks to pretty much make men look bad at every turn, monopolize the reproductive process and push for double standards…its part of the larger “victim Olympics” and the #metoo BS we see with many other groups.
I’ve posted this so many times, I can hardly muster the energy. Zealots are a part of every group, but in today’s world only have to spend limited time posting to social media to make a big noise. Further, the hundreds of 24/7 news outlets operating today need stories, and ridiculous people taking ridiculous positions make for good “news” because people tend to click or watch the more outrageous pieces. Most women simply want to be able to follow their dreams, as most men do not behave in the way shown in the photo above. If you don’t want to be painted as someone who wants to keep women enslaved so you can have a maid and a punching bag, then please, don’t paint 98% of today’s feminists as unreasonable, castrating bitches because 2% exemplify those qualities.
Certainly women today deal with abusers, but today they have viable choices. My friends and I joke about our grandmother’s “at least he doesn’t get drunk and beat you” attitudes, but there was nothing funny about it then and there’s nothing funny about it now. Women on the lowest rungs of western society still exemplify that standard; I work with them. They tolerate the intolerable because they are unable to support themselves without being partnered.
Anti-feminist (anti-third wave, whatever) men seem to me to hold up the best of men to compare to the worst of women, which is silly to do. Are some women castrating bitches? Yes. Are some men violent? Yes. Are some women fools who want to endanger the people they supposedly want to save by forcing themselves into fire departments and combat outfits when they’re not fit? Yes. Do some men feel threatened by competent females and bitch rather than increase their own competence? Yes.
Do some women want to keep a clean and tidy home and cook tasty food? Yes. Do some men like to hang out with their wives after work and talk about their days while they both cook dinner? Yes. Do some women choose fields that allow for time out to care for children because they wish for a compromise between a hard-driving career and the vulnerability of no job? Yes. Do some men support their wives’ ambition and make career sacrifices willingly? Yes.
It’s a big world! Lots of people. They’re all different, no? Stop generalizing, it makes you a member of the “victim Olympics.”
Blows my mind more people don’t get this…
Why were Jewb’s posts flagged? Skimming through all this so I’m not quite sure what all’s been said.
Youtube personalities seem to be getting really popular. I don’t understand how people get all riled up when some guy with no other discernible talent other than reading you the latest news headline about the actions of a couple of loons and tells them “the next civil war is coming!”.
Dude, my college sweethart still sends me messages through social media at least once every six months. I haven’t replied to a single one.
We broke up 18 years ago after she fucked some dude while she was visiting her relatives for the weekend. I found out around 9pm and by 11pm her stuff was on the way to her parents’ house and that was that.
Move on.
