Grrrr!

Here we go. Three things the gynocentric media doesn't want you to know.

1. Men get baby panic too
Even though we are essentially fertile the whole of our lives we still have to take into consideration our age when it comes to having children. We still have to be healthy enough to protect our offspring and to provide for them. So yes our biology also causes us to panic as we get older in terms of having children.

2. Men also get pressured into getting married and having kids
The same people who pressure women into getting married and into having kids also pressure men into having them. A male beyond his mid twenties without a family is still looked upon as being at best an over grown child. Me and men my age are constantly being asked why we aren't married or have children. In fact people often call our sexual orientation and our virility into question.

3. Men also have to choose between family and career
I shouldn't have to explain this one but I will. A lot of women seem not to understand that men are told that the best thing they can do for their families is to work themselves to death so their family can have a good life. Like it or not men who choose to be with their families more also miss out on promotions and job opportunities because they want to be more involved in their children's lives. Their sexual orientation and their work ethic gets called into question.

So I just wanted to share that. I find women oriented media has a tendency of trying to alienate women from men and one of the tactics they use is to tell women that men have it so much easier than women and that women are the "put upon" sex so only they know what it is like to suffer. Today that is annoying the shit out of me.
