Re: Why do many American men refer to their wife's as their "boss"?
And don't paint me as being a conservative small minded bigot.
It's not the people, it's the politics and ideology.
I have more than a few gay friends. Two former landlords were gay couples. My kid has grown up around gay people. It's not even a thing. I wouldn't care if my kid was gay.
A friend who was transitioning (I think she/he was just lost) from female to male committed suicide over Christmas. She bought all the SJW stuff and it's just so sad.
How many genders are there now? 70? WTF.

It's a load of crap, but I don't expect intellectual anything from a libertarian.
What exactly is the number of serial killers compared to the number of people raised by single mothers who turned out perfectly normal?
You choose the strangest hills to die on.
I'd tell you that the plural of anecdote is not data if I didn't know you were making most, if not all of that up.

Facts are facts. They don't need interpretation. Facts are facts. It's not "bullshit".

What's bullshit is you thinking any of that 'third wave feminism' stuff exists meaningfully outside of college campuses and tumblr or deviantart.
I'm sorry about your friend, though, nobody should reach the point where they have to take their own life, and one of the biggest problems in the world, and especially America today is that people aren't given access to the kind of help that may prevent them making that choice. That has nothing to do with gender either, and who gives a **** 'how many there are', does it actually affect you in any way?

Well, yeah. Lolly killed herself over it.
Tumblr has spilled over into real life. It does affect me. It's the society I live in.
We went to that Women's March last year. It was hilarious - and scary - at the same time.

Tragic as that was, neither you nor I can pretend to know the reason why, and it's probably a little distasteful to speculate, don't you agree?
What's scary about egalitarianism? Or are you allowing a small portion of legbeards to speak for an entire gender?

How are any of those things relevant to a matriarchy? One's a dumb reality show about women (granted, not many men wear one) buying wedding dresses, one's a bit weird granted and one's a tradition that's gone on since Medieval times - nothing to do with America at all.

Maybe American men are more honest than other men. My wife's a lot smarter than me in some ways, especially in money matters. Inside the house she really is the boss and I don't mind because everything runs nice and smooth and peaceful.
Any man who claims to be El Supremo needs to be regarded with suspicion. Generally they are the henpecked and pussy whipped type

My son, now 18, has grown up in a fatherless home. He fairly recently acquired a stepfather.
He hasn't done any of the things you mention above. He has a university place to study engineering and last night received a "scholar athlete" award from his school.

What a half-witted comment.

Which is fine, if you're honest about it, I suppose.
