This is a fact: men have been oppressing women since we as a human species have come down from the trees. We have been physically weaker and therefore easy to oppress. Why do men do that? Because they can! They have been allowed to this over centuries. It wasn't long ago that women were considered men's property. Women did not get the vote because it was "given to them". They fought, had hunger strikes, you name it, to get the vote. In every "revolution" women's rights have always been tackled last. In Afghanistan, if women decided to put men in burkas, marry them off to old women at the age of nine years old, deny them education, there would be an outcry and it would be stopped but because it's being done to women, we call it "religion" or "a different culture" and don't do anything.

All men are not selfish but if most are, there are real reasons for them. If I was a guy and saw all that I could get away with, I would try to get away with it. That's human nature.

Why do women put up with it? We need men for sex, companionship and in order to have children. Some of us are financially dependent on them. Remove the money equation and the year's of brainwashing that says we have to put ourselves last and a whole new woman emerges. Oh, yes, she's the "*****."

People have a hard time even admitting that we live in a sexist world, even though it is a FACT. It'd just be too depressing to look at reality. Yes, there are a few good men. That doesn't change the fact that those in power prefer to keep women weak. It makes for a very cheap labour force, one that is always taken advantage of. And men know it.
