the education system coddles hyperactive boys compared to girls- who are hugely underdiagnosed. It also does not favor girls even slightly; girls and boys are given the same opportunities and boys choose to squander them. The system was MADE for boys in mind. also, take until account that girls factually do worse academically in coed settings while the reverse is true for boys- and yet girls still outperform! it's clearly not solely the setting that is the problem.

Women attempt it less because they care more about burdening their families with their deaths. They're also less successful because they choose less messy, lethal means ie a gun for similar reasons. This also doesn't take murder-suicides into account, which are overwhelmingly done by men (and TO women).

I find it funny(tragic), that the people (men) who are the most likely to yell about children needing two parents are the ones to think that women need to be the only ones to care for the children.

Love how she sais this book is reseach based, when she basically asked men if they prefer chocolate or vanilla icecream, and then infired that women just like the opposite of men. Thank you for pointing out all those flaws.

"If we apply ourselves, we can be just as tough as women." <- Connor is the best! 😄

Men and boys don't have a problem expressing themselves at all. They express joy, anger, depression very well. And ones who get violent are absolutely expressing themselves. Let's no longer pretend that's men's issue instead of the WAY men choose to do it. also, heartily disagree that women don't appreciate men enough. Wives make post after post after post about how blessed they are because for horribly bare minimum stuff like their husbands not cheating, not abusing them, or putting the dishes away like he's supposed to.

re: secular people, for the most part that's not true at all. the women come back because they like the guy or are desperate (since we're taught we're not worth much without male validation). or more sinisterly, the guy is very manipulative, possibly a red piller or PUA, pretending he'll love her if she sleeps with him, or using games (pretending he's unimpressed with her so she'll work to do what he wants). also, many men don't really care if other men don't make their wives/gfs orgasm and some even admit this. the failure will fall on the women, not the men

"why is [him being bad at pleasing her] never an option?!" because society raises men to be sexually selfish, see his own orgasm as the point of sex. :(

you're not "supposed" to want sex; it's not a duty. it's completely up to the couple

Holding your wife responsible for your anger is not just dangerous for her but demeaning to their relationship! What are they, a couple or a mother with her child?

"If he wanted to, he would." He can see that pile of dishes; he just doesn't want to do them. that's not "man bashing", that's lazy person bashing.

I love suits too but the guy is right, it's not comparable to formfitting leggings. It's the equivalent to a cocktail dress or evening gown. Think Grace Kelly's stunning costumes in her Hitchcock roles! I have never met a woman ever who was physically aroused by suits. Attracted? Absolutely. But a woman a man finds hideous can still turn him on if she's got a body type he likes and is wearing leggings.

the proverb about dripping rain is actually not as bad as it sounds initially. as Giselle from Nagging Thoughts wisely pointed out, it's a woman trying hard to fix a problem that her husband is deliberately ignoring, much like the widow consistently coming at the judge to fix her problem like he should.

"withholding" implies she has something he is owed. no man on earth is entitled to sex or any part of a woman's body.

thank you so much Rebecca!! that is precisely why I dressed somewhat immodestly in some of my teen years. I had been bullied before over my looks and clothes and it left me anxiety ridden. Dressing that way was how I tried to protect myself.

That commenter was so right on! and yeah, I think if most men actually cared about their wives' needs, they would ask. If he cared, he'd make an effort. Men aren't stupid. Women have been patiently explaining ourselves till we're blue in the face and told we're wrong about our own needs, bodies, and sexualities and of course God. If he wanted to, ladies, he would! I love Sheila but I do think she's a bit too nice to men, and in a way male authors rarely are to women.

That "ENTJ" is 100% not a ENTJ. Can't commit? Craves adventure? A thousand hobbies? That the exact opposite of high Ni. Ni focuses on a singular goal and finds it super hard to waver. They are committed,particularly when combined with Te. He is clearly an ESFP. The wife could be an ISFP but in guessing she is an ISFJ because she sounds- from what I can guess from the limited info- focused more on group harmony (Fe) than values (Fi). this is why we study the functions 😄👍
