Men’s New Year message.
A Happy New Year to all fellow bachelors
2007 will be another year of not having to watch our bank accounts being emptied out by a dumb shopaholic twit we’re legally obliged to support, of not having to be home from the pub at 10 in case the missus gets all cross, of not having to worry that we’ll be declared no longer required by a wife and thrown out of homes and ordered by a divorce court to support an ex-wife who hates us and children we can’t see, and of not havingto go for that promotion for that stressful high-responsibility position just because we’re being nagged at endlessly because “she” needs a bigger house.
No, for us bachelors, 2007 will be another year of…well, of doing whatever us bachelors want to do:
Video games, fishing, trips abroad, playing ZX Spectrum emulators, learning to fly a plane, shagging escort girls, mastering chess, learning how to cook the perfect omelette, hunting for comets, avoiding shopping malls, finally getting round to reading that Complete Works of Shakespeare we bought in a second-hand bookstore six-years ago but haven’t ever even opened, going to the local boating lake and hurling drunken insults at geese, getting chased all the way home by angry geese, downloading BitTorrents of Airwolf episodes, blogging, and generally having a merry old bachelorhood, whilst conveniently also withdrawing both financial and emotional support from the Matriarchy.
Being male and single is great. Far better, generally speaking, than being a married man. Feminism has ensured this.

QUOTES FROM ZSA ZSA GABOR
I have never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back.
I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.
I want a man who’s kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?
I always said marriage should be fifty-fifty proposition. He should be at least fifty years old, and have at least fifty-million dollars.

Stephen - Well said my friend
However my bachelor life be a bit different though
24X7 week on week off DAD to an 11 year old - Month on Month off at CHRISTmas - A rare visit to a pub although as much latte as I can afford - Constant attention to a garden to produce vegetables and hospitality - Constant attention to a home to care for myself, a Kid and being hospitable - Constant attention to media and computer to stay on top of Men and their Childrens issues - Constant attention to my person to keep me publicly acceptable and as well as poss. - Constant attn to the Co-Op-n-FoodBANK - Constant attn to phone and E-mail - Constant attn to many platonic girl friends and mates - Constant encouragement to those attempting to **Equal** Parent inside and outside relationship - Constant BOTHERING the Femi-Fascists in media - govt - orgs
Before the local Femi-Fascists ganged up on me there was constant attn to Javan’s school with Patrols, Library, coaching and other duties - Before I got fed up with working alone there was constant local input into many organisations run over by local Femi-Fascists and obedient men without Balls as in Police and Priests and the odd male bureaucrat
The odd twitch when an attractive Women stirs an interest in what should be.
Reading – entertaining – sipping rich red – patting the cat
Defending the odd takeover from aggressive women and some men under the guise of being helful of much that I do who have forgotten how to be a helpmate-lover-companion-friend
Onward - Jim

Stephen, I know you didn’t write this but to the person who did, I take issue with the line about ’shagging escort girls’. Prostitutes from two parent families are unheard of. I wonder if the writer would like the idea of drunken old men shagging his daughter, just because she comes from a broken home. Mind you, the saying that ‘all marriage is a form of prostitution’ was first espoused by the feminists in a sneering attempt to be-little marriage. It is one thing that I’m now in agreement with. Western women now think that all they have to do is to ‘give’ a man sex. Why is that sex is something that a woman gives and something a man ‘gets’?
Julie, please don’t respond, I can’t be bothered being distracted by your incoherent ramblings.

Well, Stephen. More misogynistic meandering. It saddens me to see hurt men
putting forward such sexist comments.
I too am single (once again), let us not forget to take responsibility for our role in all our relationships. If we have been treated poorly, we have allowed it to happen.
I have a good relationship with my children and hope that I am a good role model for them in terms of relating to people that we have difficulty with in our lives in a respectful manner.
If we can come to value each others difference, the world will be a better place to live.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

Yes, Stephen, (sorry eye of the tiger for replying)
You are a very important piece to all this and I am and the visitors are missing out on your imput.
Where are you?

grant, (if indeed that’s your real name)I take full responsibility to letting myself be fooled into believing my ex and nz’s family court system were fair, and that nz was a fair country instead of the anti-father feminist shithole I discovered.
I’m sad too - to see you so blithely label me mysogynistic. You’re patronizing smugness reeks of gross irony.
I’m simply offering a warning to all western men about the perils of relatioships with western women under feminist law. You’re labelling that mysoginistic seems perversely naive to me (That’s a benevlolent interpretation too).
But then you’re welcome to try being in a relationship with a woman in the west. Hopefully you have more success than I and the miraid of other shafted guys I’ve met over the years.
If you do I’m sure it will have alot to do with the fact that it’s DUE TO THE 2 DECADE’S OF MEN”S RIGHTS ADVOCACY I’VE PUT IN WITH OTHER MEN.
And you are?

hi steven i read your post and your comment and i agree with you that it is not our faullt that the laws re relationships/property/kids are so blatently biased, but i dont think that is what grant and also “eye of the tiger was talking about. I dont really know what grant was trying to say when by “take responsibillity for your relationships” after all the law is against us. but i get what they were saying particually aabout the “escort girls” i dont choose to be single to shag hookers, im single because i was kicked in groin by my ex and the system. i do conform to the this idea of bachalor, most prostitutes are not much older than my daughter.i dont like the idea paying a woman to have sex with, i didnt realise at the time but thats what i was doing with my ex.he strung me along and did me overbut i dont find the idea of have sex with a women who has had sex with countless other guys that night appealing at all!

I don’t think Stephen was talking about his own experience. What I get from it is talking about being single in general terms. In fact he was copying from another blog. I don’t see anything wrong with escorts over a certain age, maybe 25. A lot of women now think that in a relationship ‘giving’ a man sex is the only thing they have to do. The point I was making is that western men have too much to loose from getting involved with western women; they have such contempt for men that its only a matter of time before they kick him out (75% of marriages are ended by women I believe – quite different from the common perception of male abandonment).
Being male and single is bloody great. I don’t think feminism has given most of us any other worthwhile choice but its a pretty good choice nonetheless. Friends of mine who have been shafted are now pretty happy with their lives. This doesn’t detract from the issues they still have over custody, access and the unfair results of property division that they may never properly recover from.

misogynistic means a man who hates women. Well at least the dictionary isn’t bias.
I did think for a moment that there was a word for women hating men but now I see it is fair for there is a word for men hating women too.
How sad for both sides for hate is …
well what’s the point explaining on deaf ears. Man hates woman while woman hates man. How lucky we are this is only a small minority radical group.
But how lucky I am for not being involved in this.
