[QUOTE=Hanako] Do men really love women? [/quote] Well, not _all_ women. You’re asking a lot there. > [@Hanako](#): > > Men are perverts. No, men are _pigs_. A subtle but meaningful difference. ---

I love women in general. I have two daughters and a mother that I would donate critical body parts for. My little girls are heiresses and are being raised so that they would make a traditional husband miserable some day. Now, you didn’t specify what type of woman we are talking about here. You can truly love daughters and mothers but never truly trust a woman with a ring on her finger especially if you bought the ring in the first place and brought this on yourself. Note that this can be the same female playing different roles which have very different goals. I do think that modern society has screwed up the power in the sex balance equation. Women have gained a tremendous amount of power over the past 40 years or so and men have gained little or even lost ground. A female that exercises all the power she has now is a force that isn’t easy to be contained even legally in things like child custody arrangements and financial split in case of divorce.

What are you smoking? I said that. ---
