Oh, Dave. We might have had something so special

Why I'll never date a feminist

by Dave Hon



No doubt, there are men who should be buried underneath the prison. There’s plenty of examples of how the justice system has failed victims. But, it also fails men. The Father’s Rights Movement reports that only 14 percent of custodial parents are fathers. Mothers are more likely to be awarded child support. Women are more likely to graduate college, they live longer, are less likely to die in the workplace, less likely to go to prison and extremely less likely to die in war-time combat.

When it comes to dating, I don’t care about any of that. Unless you do.

I used to think dating across the political aisle was not only possible, but practical. Hell, if James Carville and Mary Matalin can get along, I can date someone who thinks my genitals automatically give me privileges that they don’t have, right?

Wrong.

People who are more loyal to their gender and not their significant other don’t make good partners. They will always look at you as inherently more fortunate than them. They’ve bought into the “battle of the sexes” mentality and it often pervades their perceptions of romance. Romance turns into a power struggle rather than a partnership.

There are complex advantages and disadvantages to being a man or a woman in America. No doubt, men enjoy privileges that women don’t but that boat goes both ways.

2. Well, Dave, I'm not sure you can afford to be so picky.

But it is certain that feminists won't want to date YOU in any case.

I doubt if he's doing any better now. Or maybe it was some guy just like him.

Bitter much? Dickhead or anything?

Yeah, dude, I'm sure the feminists are mourning your absence from the dating pool.
