Men's Memes: Women no longer get complimented

Women no longer get complimented

Not only are men failing to compliment female friends and colleagues for fear of causing offence - but women are highly likely to suspect the motives of the individual offering the admiring comment.

The irony of this - which has come about undoubtedly because of the feminists hate-stirring - is that its the most polite and sensitive or intelligent men who are now the least likely to compliment the women, leaving only the most rough and insensitive men to approach them.

is the PC title of that article.

The title should really be "Men are not willing to give women compliments they don't deserve".; 7:32 pm

Why do you assume that a man who compliments a woman is rough or brutish?

He may consider himself the "sensitive" one if being compared to me or you, since we wouldn't give any woman a compliment.

The point I'm making is - do we not give Feminists all the amunition they need to demonise men by perpetuating the same course stereotypes about other men as Feminists do about ALL men, when we characterise them as unworthy because we say they are thugs, players, rough etc?

So you think you are more deserving of female attention because you're better than that man over there.

But what it really looks like is - being unable to attract the volume of female attention you think YOU'RE ENTITLED to, you take your frustrations out, not on the women, but on other men, who are probably struggling with the same issues as you.

I just can't see men uniting to defend our interests if we are so divided among ourselves.

I just cannot see it. This is my frustration.

They have us surrounded.

Women just do not attack each other like that. That's why they will continue to have the upperhand against us until we stop attacking each other over them.; 11:46 am

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:

"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."
