In the 1970’s, famous feminist Gloria Steinem said: “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” The message: Women are self-reliant, and men are superfluous. Men are unnecessary and incompatible with women.

If women are self reliant then why are they dependant on MEN's money ?

Yep, I grew up hearing that line over and over again. I was taught it in school too. When I told my dad about her, he responded: "Maybe all American jar lids are loosened in the factory".

I'm glad this isn't a more widespread view. I have a tight circle of friends, including no women who think of me as a tertiary growth of humanity.

If all women felt this way, I'd have to try to incite an Atlas Shrugged scenario. "Alright, we'll just go then, good luck without us."

I saw a nice rebuttal the other day: "a bicycle stays shiny and new for a years, but a fish can't help but rot and stink." I wish I remember which blog, but the discussion was about women hitting the wall at 30, when men start to real their SMV peak.

I would really like to see a reality show where 10 men are put on one island and 10 women are put on another island. Give them all the same supplies and try to get them comparable skillsets. See where they are in 10 weeks.

The thoughts that we are fundamentally incompatible reminds me of the black separatist movement of the Malcolm X era. Especially with the MGTOW thing.
