How am I supposed to know? I never said I understood how women think, maybe some woman in the forum might answer this for us. Also, I have no idea if the answer would change if she is or not a feminist.

I can only answer for myselft, I do not represent the vast majority.
Although I do admit I am generalising, the social constructs right now, as I see it, are permitting women to hold disdain against men who cannot hold their own in this world and also be able to support a woman. When a woman cannot do this, as I see the social pressure, it is accepted and even welcomed, as a woman who 'requires' support. This reinforces the old values that women are demure, and they require male help. And they do not!

Both genders have equal rights to receive help, and not be prosecuted for "not being a man" or "being a woman."

These outdated ideas that are at odds with feminism, of women not being able to hold their own, of men having to be able to support women, is what I'm arguing against - for both genders!

Viagra should not be covered by insurance. Both promote sexual irresponsibility.



Okay, yeah, I'm going to change my opening post, evidently I'm being misconstrued here XD
