I am very disappointed in some of the comments on this website. The most obvious one is this one: “When will men grow up?” what sort of question - obviously aimed to be a rhetorical question - is that? In a day and age when women and their live-in boyfriends are far more likely than fathers to attack their children (in the United States); in a day and age when women are at least as likely as men to stalk and harass their exes and are more likely to use physical violence against their spouses, and in an age when (at least in the United States) at least half of rape allegations are FALSE (and where, according to feminist scholars like Christina Hoff Sommers, the percentage of men who abuse their spouses is miniscule), I am so sick of hearing about men being evil whilst women - of course - are good; its bullshit.
how about this: when will HUMANITY grow up?
