Remember when Jenna Karvundis was placed on register-her.com for her article? Well Bobbi Palmer's misandrist piece on dating for the over-40s needs some serious attention...

A conference on men that is taught by a woman...all the fail needed to know this garbage is just some woman's angle to make money off other women.

Some of her points are a little misguided. But I detected no misandry there. She actually went out of her way to point out a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation society puts men in:

When a man asks what you want to do on a date, it’s because he wants to be sure you enjoy yourself. We think it’s because he’s lazy or doesn’t care. Quite the opposite. It’s because he wants to please you, and the best way to do that is for him to have you pick your pleasure.

If the man chooses the date's plan of action, he's being dominant and forcing the woman to bend to his will. If he doesn't plan it out, he's lazy and apathetic, like all men are these days, amirite?!

She points out this in her own way. Again, some of her thinking is a little off, but I don't get any Man-Hate vibe from her. And bringing up the registry for her is way over the top. If you put people on the registry for something like this, you will lose the potency of the registry itself.

OP What is it specifically that bothers you about this article.. The dumbass comment about womens multitasking skills?

Well, when men are working they are doing just that: working. They are singularly focused. Women, though, can do 100 things at once. We can participate in a conference, notice we need a manicure, write a to-do list AND wonder what our boyfriend is doing — all at the same time. That would make a man’s head explode.

Its dumb, but not exactly rage worthy.

She strikes me as a bit naive, but perhaps she's just milking women dumb enough to go to a conference on men taught by a woman.

It struck me as a bit too cuddly-wuddly but I wouldn't say it was misandry.

Where does the "single-tasking men" myth comes from? I know it's a common myth, but don't know the origin. Anybody?

Asking a man how he feels is like asking him about quantum physics. He has no idea how to process that question. (Rather, ask him what he thinks.)

I happen to understand quantum physics very well, thanks. It's not that we don't "have" feelings, most men just internalize them, AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
