its also possibly irresponsible to signal to young men that they navigate reality based on exceptions to rules ... "myopia" as you apparently call generalized assessments or rational analysis of trends is how people do nearly everything in life ... from crossing the street to drawing hypothesis about races, cultures, and genders... everyone is so afraid to make an actual declaration. its feminine in fact. so lukewarm and useless boring - particularly for the young i would imagine... thats why they have DADS - so that when mommy tells little johnny that everyone is essentially good and doing their best , dad can come around and correct that shit with some actual truths about human nature and motivations... I have also indicated that there are exceptions so not sure where the myopia stuff is coming from other than your bias based on the grace you have encountered in life ?

>I have also indicated that there are exceptions so not sure where the myopia stuff is coming from other than your bias based on the grace you have encountered in life ? It is a fairly round about way of saying "stfu you got lucky" As for the second paragraph, its what we've been talking about. Yeah, those trends are out there and it does suck, nobody here is saying they dont, but you gotta look through the fog and see what is real. Just because you THINK youre going to get lit up by some random lady doesnt mean that it will. Be a good judge of character and take that chance. We should have things be where there doesnt have to be that thought in the back of every mans mind, but we also have to look after one another and lay it out like it is. You thinking that every western woman is out fleece every man possible is divorced from reality. What is true is that those women who do look to do that, do have an easy time doing just that with current court systems being what they are. But that fact, or other similar facts, doesnt automatically mean every woman is going to do that.

once again i DIDNT SAY EVERY and have in fact several times stated that there are exceptions - and clarified FURTHER that the exception prives the rule - the fuck is wrong with you ? also - you asked dude... you dont wanna hear the answer dont ask https://i.huffpost.com/gen/1950602/thumbs/o-GENDER-ATTITUDES-1-570.jpg
