BK>>  GP> And don't think the men are more free, they just have
BK>>  GP> different strictures (eg. slaving 12-hour days 6 days/week
BK>>  GP> to support the women & children)

BK>>  I normall don't do that, coming up to the end of 12 days of 12
BK>>  hours right now. So... hmmm...

 GP> Hmm, indeed!  Enjoy your day(s) off! :)  Hope you've got
 GP> this gorgeous sunshine wherever you are, too!

 Been through those days off, another work cycle, and back on
 days off. Enjoying the cool weather as much as the sunshine.

BK>>  GP> The courts say so.  Men don't have any real say regarding
BK>>  GP> children. . .

BK>>  Like I said, you were never told... "Did you see what *YOUR*
BK>>  child did?"

 GP> What official source has ever said that to you? (I mean
 GP> judge or legislator)

 Much more significant source, wife.

BK>>  GP> Men are busy slaving to pay taxes to pay for Women's
BK>>  GP> Hospital, Children's Hospital; but when he has a
BK>>  GP> male-specific problem (eg. prostate cancer) the help is
BK>>  GP> rarely there for him!

BK>>  Say what? It is here.

 GP> You've seen a Men's Hospital somewhere?
 GP> Or an Andrologist specialty?

 Oh, I see what you mean. I don't see any women's hospitals
 around here. Don't see any children's hospitals either. Do see
 children's hospitals within a few hundred miles, but they are
 actually quite few. Can't think of any women's hospitals off
 hand.

BK>>  GP> I like how one comedian put it:  Why do men make $1/hour
BK>>  GP> more?  Because that's a surcharge for women being the ones
BK>>  GP> who get off the Titanic first or out of the burning
BK>>  GP> building first.

BK>>  They are worth more. If I have the choice between saving you and
BK>>  most women, who do you think I would chose?

 GP> I think you'd choose the way I would, too!

 You got it.

 GP> But if I was being berated the whole cruise by some gung-ho
 GP> feminazi about my rudeness in allowing her to go in front
 GP> of me in that 2-hour buffet line, I'd contentedly let her
 GP> wait her turn as a "person" for the lifeboats!

 A: If you are taking cruises with 2-hour buffets, what the hell
 are you doing that for?

 B: I have never been berated by any woman for holding a door for
 her, or letting her go first.

 C: I am older than most women these days. So they can wait or
 stand or hold a door for me. Except pregnant or handicapped that
 is.

 D: You gotta stop listening to Rush Limbaugh.

 E: You board the lifeboat as your turn comes in line. You don't
 play silly games with "you go first". That wastes time and
 wasting time can kill people.

 GP> See ya!  Wouldn't want to BE ya!  >>Sploosh! row, row<<. . .

BK>>  GP> Another says: "If you want equality, fine, start by paying
BK>>  GP> your bills!" (equality's great until you stop getting free
BK>>  GP> movies & dinners!)

BK>>  Sometimes you just gotta pay for what you want.

 GP> Then there's the story of the two college kids on a dinner
 GP> date.

 GP> She: I'm in a bit of a quandary; the femninist in me wants
 GP> to pay hasf this bil, but the traditionalist wants to let
 GP> you pay the whole thing.

 GP> He: I've got the same confusion; the femninist in me wants
 GP> to let you pay half, but the traditionalist wants to pay
 GP> all & make you repay me by sleeping with me later tonight!

 A: You don't make her sleep with you. That gets you arrested.
 Besides, what the big deal about *SLEEPING*?

 B: What did you think I was talking about in paying for what you
 want?
