In college I walked out of the back door of the house I was living in just in time to see two women put a quart of oil in the engine of the VW convertible Bug one owned. I dashed over, yelling, “STOP!!” “Why?” one asked, confused. “Because that’s the CARBURETOR!!” I yelled. She and her friend had poured the entire quart of oil down the carburetor. I had to take the carburetor off and clean it out. It took a while, but I finally got the car running. After three days. I told them they should give the car to me before they destroyed it completely. They declined. I also knew a woman who, when her car wouldn’t start, hit the battery posts with a hammer. She broke a post off. End of battery. She also thought the way to tell if a car needed oil was to wait until the red oil light came on. She also blew up an engine driving it when the thermostat was stuck closed. She didn’t believe it would blow up, even though I guaranteed her it would. I’ve also gotten two women’s cars – both of whom were strangers – running by simply cleaning the battery posts. One was in a gas station and one at a bank. I also once changed a woman’s tire in a parking lot, staring at her in disbelief as she tried to change it by herself with the wrong tools. She couldn’t figure out how to loosen the first bolt. The humorist P.J. O’Rourke has written that without men civilization would last until the next oil change. I’d have to agree with him. The feminist Camille Paglia, though a lesbian, is surprisingly not a man-hater. In fact, she understands that men created civilization, and has famously written that if civilization was left in the hands of women, we’d be living in grass huts. I’d agree with her, too. I am completely mystified how some women, maybe even most, have no sense when it comes to the simplest of mechanical things. I know a mechanic who won’t let his wife drive the car. I understand. For another example, again in college, I found a woman trying to take the front door off the hinges with a screwdriver. When I asked her what she was doing, she said the door wouldn’t shut, so she was going to take the door off the hinges to find out why. I told her doors don’t come off using screwdrivers, especially using little toy plastic ones about three inches long, then spent ten seconds diagnosing the problem, got my hammer and pounded down a finishing nail that popped up from the floor, preventing the door from closing. Occasionally, let’s say when I’m outside, I’ll look around and subtract everything invented by men. What’s left? Almost nothing. Cars, houses, streets, heating, cooling, advanced technological society, advanced intellectual accomplishments, medicine, dentistry – gone. What’s left? Paglia’s grass huts. There are no female Aristotles, Newtons, Eulers or Einsteins. I wish there were, but there aren’t. Women in general do two things: have babies and determine the comfort level of the home – otherwise most men would live in a pigsty. I once worked at a place that employed mostly women. At the end of the shift they would all gather together and complain about men. Women may think men complain about women, but they don’t, not to the degree women complain about men. It’s not even one percent compared to what women do. The difference is that when men complain about women, their complaints are almost always justified. Women, on the other hand, always seem to have vague complaints that consist mostly of blaming their problems on men. And it’s always about their relationships. These women would complain and complain and do it in front of me as if I was invisible. The other men who worked there were never around when these whine-fests erupted…which was every night. Maybe that’s why they were never around. I also know that when many wives get together they mostly complain about their husbands. Do they think they married down? I thought, what do these women want? Men have created/discovered close to 100% of everything in the world, in fact created civilization, and apparently that isn’t enough for them? I occasionally run across women who tell me, if women were in charge we wouldn’t have this or that bad thing. I ask them, so men created civilization and are supposed to hand the keys over to you because you think you can do a better job? That problem is that they didn’t know what men have done, and if told, probably wouldn’t believe it. Some of them think there is a suppressed history of women geniuses who invented all kinds of wonderful things, or that they are as a sex “oppressed,” which is a close-to-meaningless phrase that’s supposed to explain everything. It’s a bizarre situation…one sex that has created civilization, and the other one has created almost nothing and complains about the gifts given to them.

You can start in now.
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson
In the West this has already been done. It will be the end of Western Civilization. Western women are mostly a liablility for men, it has not always been this way, but it is now.
Funny? Marie Curie comes to mind. As well women have made a mark in the biological sciences. However, your writing is less than forthright in that for centuries women were locked out of and discouraged from "dirty" activities such as engineering and often treated as little better than chattels having fewer legal rights than her own male child. I know one young woman of my acquaintance who knows her way around an engine better than most men. She buys cars and fixes them to resell for extra money. Granted that she is an exception in that regard. The feminine contribution to civilization has been as a complement not so much as a competitor. What we call "the social graces" are to no small degree of feminine inspiration. They make life a little bit more livable. Oh, and how many of the great inventors had mothers? The logical extension of your argument is basically that offered by the feminazis that women should be engaged in direct competition with men in order to best them in the things they do well. Of course men who are good at feminine pursuits are generally called "Pansies or Homos". So, you can't have it both ways. An accurate reading of history neither supports your position nor that of the militant dykes.
"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha
You have lost total touch with reality. Over the edge, round the curve, you miserable ingrate. You were born of woman, forget your Mother already???? You should be banished from the Kingdom. When farm and ab get thru with you, there will be nothing left.
I suggest everyone read the book The Myth of Male Power.
Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!! Who's the author? Probably some lesbian dyke NOW bimbo. The only myth is in the eyes of women. Let's see you name 10 profound inventions attributed to women. How many nuclear power plants have been designed by women, or even a coal or gas fired power plant for that matter. I'll save you the trouble of looking it up---zero, zilch, nada! I could go on for weeks and months, but I'm sure you got the jest of what this thread is all about. I'm sure that book you are pushing everyone to read is a myth in and of itself!
You can say that again and again. My one son works in an office that has union employees. They outnumber the men throughout the union. The union president is a woman and for the last 3 0r 4 contracts, they have capitulated with wages and benefits. Since they were secondary wage earners, they didn't forsee the economic meltdown we are currently experiencing. Their husbands for the most part were the primary wage earners. Now that the good paying jobs have been outsourced and or moved overseas and the husbands out of work, these women are between a rock and a hard place trying to support the family on what wages are left after their givebacks. My son says all they do is bitch and try blaming everyone else but theemselves. They complain about not having enough money left each payday to buy nice fashionable clothes and many he says smell like French whores using that dime store toilet water instead of having enough money to buy decent perfumes. But hey, it's the mens fault don't you know!!!!!!
Dr. Warren Farrell and BTW it is a pro-male book.

LOL..... chickens coming home to roost for most. Why this is what they wanted a stay at home 'kitchen bitch' n control of the finances! I can hear 'em roar!
It is a good Read. It is anti-male-hating, which is rare these days.
I've come to the conclusion that you may be just really gay, Turtle. This entire article is nothing but bitching and complaining from beginning to end. I think the women you refer to are merely trying to keep up with you in the bitching and complaining department. And it is obvious you are left feeling insecure about your abilities to keep up. Yawn.........
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations
I'm not happy until you're not happy!
Wow, that statement is ON TOPIC. And your argument about the topic......uhm... non-exixtant except for launching an ad hominum.....jeez. I suggest to save Western civilization, any females exhibiting feminist tendancies or shows disrespect towards men should be buried up to thier necks and I am NOT joking, the wimmins have gone too far.
The topic was Turtles complaining and bitching about women bitching and complaining. How could I have made that more clear Lysander? : ) I say it's still up for debate if Western civilization deserves to be saved.....

OK. ...I'lll give u a pass on this one, Turtle can be gay alright LOL. And BTW I do agree as it exists today Western Civilization may be unworthy of salvation.
Over the edge, round the curve, you miserable ingrate. You were born of woman, forget your Mother already???? hear! hear! my first thought when men complain about women is what do they think of their mothers, sisters, daughters???? and the sweeping generalization is very myopic.
astute point... another very important point is that, statistically, men and women process information differently. men tend to process information sequentially while women tend to process information simultaneously. obviously, one is not superior to the other as Turtle seems to think unless his diatribes are more tongue in cheek than arrogance. ;)
Methinks Sir Turdle enjoys stirring things up a bit.

I would be amused if college actually taught the truth. "Not only have men created civilization, it's overwhelmingly been the accomplishment of white men, who have created/discovered 97% of everything in the world. If blacks had never existed the world would have never even noticed. Arabs, Asians Indians, anybody from south of the border, Asians....altogether their accomplishment add up to 3%." Imagine the uproar. The truth is the last thing many people want to hear.

That's not true. Women civilized us men. Ideally we are different but we complement each other, and we men need their calming influence. They nurture, we protect, and both are necessary. Without their influences, civilization would have died in the cradle. And it would have been a very bloody death. Then the 3 kike religions and feminism took over and fucked it all up. .

They'll blame it on men.
It will be the end of Western Civilization.
