Sure, we're more or less enlightened these days, but even with all our knowledge, altruism, and progressiveness dudes want to pass on their genetic material (f***) and to do that to the best of their ability they tend to dominate in business and government.

In other words, past men created the system in which we find ourselves, and if we current men don't like it then maybe we need to be more inclusive of our other halves so we can change any perceived inequities we're experiencing. I'm just not sure we're going to really get away from our natures, though. Alphas tend to want to pass on their genetic materially (f***) really really badly, and thus they tend to dominate to ensure others don't get their opportunities at wealth and power which facilitate passing on one's genetic material (f*****g).

I'm not even going to touch what motivates a woman, but what I do think is really s****y is to deny them opportunity... But then again they have to compete against Alpha males in business and government and those dudes have their s*** locked down tight (aided and abetted by their supportive women).

Anyway. Women, and it's a fact, are far, far, far more victimized by men than the other way around. So, I'm not really sure what LDSFAQs is suggesting. While my life hasn't been an easy one by any measure, I was literally groomed to compete in this world for my share. I wasn't given much quarter, but on the same token the fact that I was held accountable and responsible for my actions, words, and deeds from toddlerhood through now prepared me to exist in a world that doesn't really give a flying fuckall about me or my family. Couple that with the inherent advantages I've enjoyed being male, white, American, and a GODDAMN EAGLE SCOUT and I was better prepared than many to end up where I'm at these days which is f*****g RETIRED AT AGE 44!!! Wubba wubba dubba!!!

Cry me a river boys, if you feel victimized. Reach on down somewhere around your perineum and see if you still have a set, because if you're bitching about the unfairness of life here in America you're a f*****g pussy and couldn't hack it. That makes you Life's bitch. Hop on your Rascal, take a trip down to Walmart, park in front of their deli, and eat yourself some greasy deep fried chicken... Because that's the only thing you're good at.

89% of men will be the victim of at least one violent crime.
Men are over twice as victimized by strangers as women.


Hey, faqs -

In these two stats, who is doing the victimizing?

I am! My spouse and I hiked 736 miles on the Appalachian Trail this last Summer, and we're going to do the Tahoe Rim Trail this June with our respective chitlins. I'm in the process of convincing her it's a terrible great idea to kayak the Mississippi in 2017.

And I do apologize for bragging. It's poor form, but when I read posts like LDSFAQs' nonsense I just rub my temples wondering how someone can let life kick him the balls and he rolls over while someone like Ms. Jack gets falcon punched and she turns around and just kicks the crap out of adversity. The former is depressing and the latter is inspiring. How can he not see someone like her and think, "You know... I got this."?

Also, faqs, for someone who has prepared since age 7 to be a super genius Marine ninja police officer marksman multi-tab internet guru, I find it curious that you did not know that Canadians speak English, oftentimes even better than many Americans do.

Wow, I've done parts of the Appalachian Trail, that must have been stunning to see all of that.

And please, your version of bragging is a pleasure to read-especially the Mississippi kayaking. Wow! Keep us informed. Tahoe is a very fun hike, I've done parts of that also. Have you considered hiking the Grand Canyon?

I agree about the ldsfaqs nonsense - your comparison to Ms Jack's story is so apt:
"The former is depressing and the latter is inspiring."

Jersey Boy retired at the same age as Cam. Went on to earn his BSN degree and then entered a second career. There are a lot of advantages in store for a person who doesn't screw up their military career.

Of course, there are also disadvantages as well such as service connected disabilities, but overall, you do get a good shot at making your life how you dream it might be.

As a matter of fact we did the rim-to-rim before I left for Korea in 2014. I didn't have energy to do rim-to-rim-to-rim which is shameful when there are kids running there and back. Literally running it. I'm not sure anything compares to that initial vista when you walk past the lodge. Just beautiful.

eta: It's amazing how many people who are completely unprepared to descend into the canyon think they can make it to the campground and back. The park rangers are constantly packing exhausted tourists out of there. Heh.

That's awesome, Jersey Girl. I'm seriously considering going back to school for a B.Arch.. I'm constantly fascinated by building design, aesthetic, use of space, etc... But, I don't know. I'm burned out on school right now (I was in masters program when I decided to retire and come to SLC). Maybe once I get my other daughter graduated this year I'll re-visit the issue. :)

I like how the "stats" make it look like almost no females die in war.

Are only male children killed?

War is a cakewalk for females. How dare they!
