Us guys don't know how lucky we are.
Was woken this morning before 6am by the chipping of bricks. Looking from my balcony, it is all Khmer Srey doing the work. All week it is mostly women doing the heavy labour of shifting the bricks, sand and cement. Admirable, that shit is hard manual labour and of course they do it in the heat covered in clothing from head to toe. I ain't never seen a Western woman lug buckets of sand across her shoulders and I sure as hell haven't seen any chip and cut bricks in 27+ degree heat at 5-30am either!
I just got back from spending two weeks in Australia and New Zealand. Spent a night having dinner with a mate and his wife at their place. His wife had a couple of her female friends over to eat also. My mate cooked for everybody which is nothing unusual in Western society, these days males that cannot cook are a dying breed. Right? While 'he' was doing the dishes, I was having a chat and beer with him in the kitchen....I didn't have a tea towel in my hand. The women were in the lounge room, the rugby was playing on the TV for my mate to catch an occasional glimpse of, but the sound was off because the women were all talking and drinking wine. The rugby is on TV, the women are in the lounge room drinking booze and the men are in the kitchen. Guess who is being asked to top up the womens wine glasses? Hang on a minute...WTF is going on here. Where did the seventies and eighties just disappear to?
I'm a tiny bit joking. Those days where 'get me another beer sweetheart will you' are long gone in western society. Talking with the women later I know exactly where those days from the past era are gone. Down the gurgler never to re-appear again. After my mate did the dishes, we all had a 'discussion'. The four of us....my mate remained mute, (he has become a fast learner...apparently I am not) had a heated discussion on the definition on a Femminist. I don't really know how it came up and I don't really care. At least I now know the western female definition of it and I'm glad I do.
This is what I learnt in two hours. Femminists can get extremely angry if you have a differing point of view to them about 'their' topic. I don't think I have been told to "oh fuck off Chris" as much in two years let alone that two hours. My one 'fuck off' to one of them earned me stares of disgust and the 'how dare I talk like that' to her. My mate looked at me shaking his head warning me it was not an argument I should be contemplating at all. I couldn't help myself and neither would my mute mate, the poor sod. He is living with it every day.
Femminists want equal rights for women. I thought they already did have in Western society...am I wrong? Oh yes I am...I was told. They want an end to the "Patriachal' society. The society where men have made all the rules. For fucks sake....someone had to make the rules..just happened it was the dominant gender at the time. They want an end where women in advertising are not objectified as sexual objects. Can't say I've looked at a photo recently of any girl modelling lingerie and thought, 'hmmm she is just there for us males sexual objectification'
Labelling. You can't label women as beautiful or pretty. It is labelling them in one category only...ie as a sexual object to the male. One of the woman told me, her husband is not allowed to tell their 6 year old daughter she looks pretty on that day. He has to add that she is either doing great in school, was kind to someone or ate all her carrots or whatever. Telling a female that she looks pretty in western society is now a big no no! It can damage their self esteem by labelling them as....only pretty!! Shit, tell a Khmer women here that she looks 'srey sa'at' and it is like the best compliment they have heard all week.
Don't argue in the wrong tone with a femminist. I did and apparently I was showing a totally aggresive male dominance trait. Use all your words carefully...one word out of context, and they all clap in agreement at how arrogant and ill informed a male I am. One even suggested that I was a misogynist. I let that one slide because even though I am a well read man, I can honestly say I did not no what the term meant. Looked it up later and a male trait boiled up in me. Anger! I bought up two daughters at times single handedly, have four sisters that I love dearly and some amazing female friends yet I was called a misogyinist!!
What is the eqivalent word for a female misogynist. One that hates all men? There isn't one. Google 'femminist' and sure enough in the top ten google searches, you will read"man hater" in the lines somewhere. Hey, I didn't write it.
Last night while having dinner out, the waitress bought me another can of beer. As she put it down in front of me my Khmer partner immediaely took it and poured it slowly for me. As I was watching her do it I was thinking, I didn't ask her to do it, I don't expect her to do it and it certainly isn't an indication of any male dominance from me that she felt she had to do it. It was just a nice act from her. I said thank you and meant it.
I might be so wrong here but I don't think so. Femminists aren't after equal rights. They want more rights for themselves. Thank god I'm not a US voter...femminist or misogynist as the next US President. I won't be talking to femminists anymore. Not until they come to SEA and start stacking bricks and lugging cement at 6am in stifling heat. Might get to lose a bit of weight at the same time.

they may have been arguing in their name but it doesn't sound like they were doing much justice to their stated cause...i suggest it's maybe them you need to stop talking to...Chris K wrote: I won't be talking to femminists anymore
He's been in his room 35 years...time to let him out!
I read your long post and I have just two reactions:
1- there is a counterpart word for misogynist, it is misandrist.
2- I won't talk to "feminists" either. Some people (men, women and all in-between) are just nuts, angry, feeling awful in their skins and they can't be talked to.
There are some valid points brought by "feminists and feminism" like objectification, exploitation, sexualization, etc. but it is more worthwhile to have a discussion to think through and analyze their roots and reasons to be than to decry it with anger.

Well written and completely true...
There are a few Feminazi's in PP, but they tend to be overweight fugly cunts who have adopted new age / hippie or Native American names and blame all men for the fact they can't get laid.
Only thing uglier than an ugly woman is an ugly fucking fat feminazi.

Yes, the loss of white, male privilege is difficult for some men to accept.
Masculinity is in crisis. Modern Man And Failure To Earn His Power by Peter N contains some fascinating observations about this. Here is a snippet.
Masculinity is in crisis. Modern Man And Failure To Earn His Power by Peter N contains some fascinating observations about this. Here is a snippet.
You can't expect women to assume traditional roles when men are no longer assuming theirs.Throughout primitive and ancient times, the idea of “man” and “masculine energy” has meant something different from currently held modern views.
Central to the belief of many primitive tribal, ancient cultures is the idea that a male must earn his right to be a man through hardship - he must "earn" his power.
In modern culture, the idea of “manhood,” as a stage of male power as a prize to be earned, has become as far away from previously held beliefs as is possible. Instead, what we have are a set of “fake” rituals revolving around male dominated social activities that range from sports to dating/sexual milestones.
As a result, the word "man" has become a synonym for "male." When the reality is, just because you're a male, doesn't necessarily mean you're a "man" in the true sense of the word. And because of this weak association, a modern man in today's culture is a man simply because he is bigger, stronger and has male sexual organs.
Males no longer have to “earn their power” as a man - as a right to be considered a real "man" in the true sense of the word.
So what you're left with is a society that's filling up fast with emotionally immature "man boys" instead of real men.
The last time I was in Barangland girls looked like this:
They could also open bottles!
Seems like the times have changed

On the hash we have a nice little song that we sing for feminists:
Thank God that you've shut up,
You're always fucking bitchin',
Now drink your beer, get out of here,
And get back in the kitchen!

I think his point is rather that his wife will pour his beer without thinking or being told that she's being shamelessly exploited by the patriarchy embodied in her husband.gavinmac wrote:Is the point of the OP that guys who live in Cambodia re lucky because it's easier to find a wife who will pour their beer?

Do guys really get married because they are too lazy to pour their own beer? Why not stay single and pour the beer yourself?
Follow my lame Twitter feed: @gavin_mac
Pouring your own beer when you are single is fine. But if you are still pouring when you are married there's a problem.
