Pool, can't you see that a lot of people don't agree with you and you're not going to agree with them?
Just let it go man. You're culture is different and unless you're born in a western country or us westerners were born in you're country, we can never really see eye to eye. Not completely. You seem like a nice guy and people are not going to think of you in that way when you're defending this thread.
Let it go. Then we can all just get on with it and forget about it. :-)

Actually, my background culture is rather similar to pool's. I come from a Middle Eastern background so this kind of thinking (that women should be submissive to men and just aim to get married and have kids while the man works) is something I often encounter in the extended family even here in Australia. So I'm familiar with this thinking and I can see it for what it is.
If you want to know, I was pool back in my teenage years and early 20s. I used to say similar things about women and not realize how misogynistic I was at the time. And I was never mean to women (to their face), more like I just didn't see them as fellow human beings on the same level as men, and I would join other guys in saying crap about women in general ("You can't trust women", "It's rare to see a woman these days that's like our mums", "You have to let women know you're the man in order for them to respect you", "She's a fat psycho bitch, can't stand her evil smile", etc.).
But you know what changed? I grew the fuck up and realized my gender does not give me inherent right to think of women as lower than me. This not only means I should stop thinking bad stuff about ... women ... but also stop thinking I need to protect or support or do stuff for them at all costs because of the thought they're not good leaders and can't get things done as well as men.
Yeah, pool lives in India, so he can blame his culture for his way of thinking about women if he wants (or he can reagrdless change his attitude and thinking about women and maybe help trigger some revolution there), but however you look at it, sexism is still sexism (doesn't matter where it comes from).

Is that what you think?
I knowthat you're now spinning your previous comments on this and other threads in regards to your positions that...Gender stereotypes should NOT be challenged, women are out of place when they pursue goals outside the role of caregiver that 'evolution' and nature has assigned them with, women are essentially incompetent in the workplace, and that women should work very hard to please you.
I could probably tie this in with your insistence that women in general are conniving, prone to lies and false accusations, and extremely vulnerable to alluring siren song of decadent slutdom...but I don't feel like it right now. lol
Well...Addressing this bullshit seems rather redundant now, doesn't it?
Have a good day.
Let's not change the subject to other threads, unless of course you feel you can't defend your position here, that treating women good is oppressing them and belittling them, feel free to point out my failings in proper communication in other threads about other discussions.
Good day to you too.
Rambo says hi. :')
No, sir...We're not gonna play this stupid little game.
Offering corroboration is NOT changing the subject.
All of those crap positions below, which you happily spew out on a regular basis, bear no resemblance to the "But...but I love women. I don't want them to work hard all week. I just want them to be happy...Because I love them!" garbage you've been trotting out over the past day or so.

I understand why you don't want me to bring these things up. They fly in the face of everything you've said for the past day or so, expose your honest views regarding women working outside the home and adhering to their assigned roles, and demonstrate your capacity for lying.
I'm more than willing to accept that people from different cultures often won't see eye to eye on fundamental issues. However, pool routinely makes merry sport out of lambasting women in general, women of the West in particular, and the crime of rape on these forums. Yes, he's young, and yes, he's apparently "kind of sweetie" sometimes.
But, if he's old enough to generate multiple threads depicting women a sub-par sluts and whores who lie about being raped, then he's old enough to deal with the pushback, IMO.

It's not that your love life is "eeeew".
It's that you're a narcissist who clearly views women as trophies rather than fully human persons. It's all good -- you get what you pay for. If your only role in the household is as the Provider, don't complain ten years from now when you find you've settled for the Leech. In life, you don't just get what you settle for ... you can only choose from those whom you attract.
You perfect mate is, of course, a shallow person who sees nothing more to life than soap operas and spending your hard-earnt piasters. And you'll deserve her.
I agree with you Irrational and maybe I'm just making excuses for him.
I guess I just want us all to get along. I was hoping to appeal to that side of things.
