You don't become a man until you assume responsibility for someone else.

I wonder what the ramifications would have been if someone said on national TV, "You don't become a real woman until you give birth to a child".

I cringed so hard when that one guy kept saying men need to man up and take responsibility.... Such traditional ways of thinking in terms of men's obligations belongs right along side the notion that women need to stay in the kitchen.

The text on the lower bar on the screen: "Book blames men's demise on strong women" is totally false.

The book argues men have no incentive to marry. That ISN'T "blaming strong women."

It was mainly just that one "man up" douche the other two were, at least a little receptive to what she was saying. Certainly not anywhere near as bad as what happened when Christina Hoff Sommers went on MSNBC and dared to talk about the boy crisis in education.

She did great.

Other than the sentiments of that one guy who kept going on about manning up, I think it was a really good interview.

People need to realize that interviewers on these types of shows will purposely ask easy questions that are directly pertinent to the subject of a book/movie/talk that their guest is doing.

So by bringing up such topics/thoughts, they're really giving up "lob-balls", or easily-countered points, to the interviewee, as such was the case here.

Great video/author. She did really well for being on for such a short time.

Tradcon? Traditional conservative?

That wedding party done loved her up and turned her into a horny toad!

I hope you all don't bash the concept, but would any of you guys put a bumper sticker on your car that just says "On Strike" turning the O into this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_symbol

You can have kids outside of marriage so child support is still an issue even when you're not married.

Hopefully a viable form of birth control for men and Legal Parental Surrender laws can remedy this situation.

It's like Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, mindlessly following tradition is mutually exclusive with making wise decisions.

Ignoring the content, I hate these super brief segments. They are completely superficial, don't discuss the actual topic and are basically a forum to spew sound bites.

Procean · 2013-10-30T22:30:11+00:00

"What kind of man would take such a raw deal?"

very good point.

2013-10-31T02:09:52+00:00
