But, a buying my therapist a new car, AND a new boat kinda helped me deal with at least the anger part. Some people probably think I'm still boorish, and an asshole, though.

and no, I don't think you contributed - well maybe you taunted a little...
but im just an eeeeevil man, so what do I know?

it's what I found out, you can't speak truth to feminists.
punt uit
it simply can't be done.
There are those rare individuals like SeaBeyond, but she's a rare one. She is actually capable of seeing both sides, and understand how both sides can see or be hurt by X.

If we're to have a healthy equality between the sexes, as we men give up our "natural power" they have to also give up their natural power, which I don't think they're willing to do... ever.

what power?
the short list:
women run:
The house hold
the direction of the relationship
ANY, and the level of intimacy
potentially how you see yourself (my ex, in the end, nearly destroyed me)
the conversation - there is no way a man can bring up a contrary idea in this discussion w/o being flamed into non-existence.
