It happens to be true. If it weren't true no one would even comment on it.

That's true

So these 2 lesbians took a poll of  brain washed college kids between the 
ages of 18-22 with some older ones thrown in with an average age of 26 
haha
Let's take another poll 10 years from today when those 20yo males are 30 and 
are older and wiser and see what they have to say.

Why would any male college student even have a partner or gf? At his age he

This is funny. Many females think they're in a "relationship" ( a female 
term) but if you ask the guy he'll just say he was "hooking up" or she was 
his fuck buddy  lol

This is nonsense. These guys are just pussy whipped types who give the girl 
everything she wants. That's a female's idea of equality.



>> Older women who perceived their male partners as feminists reported
>> greater relationship health and sexual satisfaction.

Disgusting. Old females should not be having or thinking of sex. As a doctor 
I've seen many over 40 yo females and I can tell you it ain't pretty.

Yes, that's believable   lol  Mr. Hefner, do you prefer the Playmate of the 
Month or Betty Friedan?

I really had to take some Xanax after reading that  lol

Don't suggest it to us; suggest it to them.  That kind of follow-up survey
is done fairly often.

Who said that the psychologists were lesbians?  Who said that the subjects
were brain-washed?  Those are your words, not theirs.

And don't answer "They must be, or their views would be the same as mine." 
A group of 242 may be fairly small, but I would believe the average result
with 242 against one man whose samples are always one person. 
A "wilderness of single instances" cannot produce a scientific, general
result.

Just as I cannot say that my doctor, who handed me a few toy farm animals
from his jar of rewards for 4-year-olds and told me to offer them to senior
citizens as competition prizes, is like that because he is married and his
wife never lets him out of her sight.  More likely, it is the other way
around; such a childish man needs to be under constant supervision for his
own safety.
