| I began reading a book my male friend lent me; "The hazards of being male." The book explains that men are dependent on women and that they have feelings too. The author describes the ideal woman as Mother Nature, and she has to be submissive. Anything else would hurt the relationship between a man and a woman.
He even said that if a man were not able to have an erection it is merely because the woman had hurtful feelings toward that man (e.i. greed, anger) and his genital perceived it, so it does not want to be involved with such a woman.
Right!
The book makes men the victims of the story. We need no more victims! We need solutions, now!

| Hypothetically speaking, let's say there's a respectable female reporter. This reporter, not too long ago, requested an interview with a certain male city official.
They had met each other in a previous event. When he learned who she was, he remembered her and said "Oh, so you're the pretty reporter?"
She remained serious and respectful, and continued trying to get an interview. He then suggested for the interview to take place in an expensive restaurant. The reporter declined and conducted the interview over the phone.
Hypothetically speaking, if the genders were to be switched I don't think a female city official would call the male reporter a "pretty boy."

Do men open the door for women?

| Wednesday I met a very unique lady. I met the author of the book "Men Are PIGS!" at a book signing in the university. When I heard about it, I was very enthusiastic about meeting her. I thought I would meet my idol. A feminist who is an advocate for gender equality. When I did meet her, I asked her several questions for an article for The Collegian. One of them was "Do you consider yourself a feminist?" She looked at me funny and avoided saying yes or no. Instead, she said that she supported women's "empowerment." Empowerment? "Oh, OK. No wonder she titled her book 'Men Are PIGS!'" I thought. She then described her 11-year relationship with husband. Quite frankly, I felt sorry for the poor man. She pushed him and he supported her every need (this is from what she described it.) But the audience in the book signing was laughing. They all loved her! And apparently the women who cannot relate are submissive. I have thought men are pigs, at least once in my life time. Would I write a pink book about it? No.  | | |
