Men and Women Are Not Equal

More proof.

These lyrics to country artists Little Big Town's hit, Tornado.

They represent a whole genre of female revenge lyrics, where physical violence against men is celebrated as normal and justified.
Thought you'd take a swing, try another girl, try another night
But it's the pain that brings my force of nature back to life
I'm a tornado, more disturbed than an F5. 
Hey I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around
Toss it in the air and put it in the ground
I'm gonna lift this house, spin it all around
Toss it in the air and put it in the ground
Make sure you're never found, oh yeah, mm 
The winds are getting stronger and the sky is falling through
You ain't got much longer, 'til the rage rips off the roof
I'm a tornado and I'm coming after you
Imagine the outrage if a male were singing about this kind of murder to a female?

Men and women are not equal.

Useless Men?

This incredibly brain-dead op-ed piece in the New York Times , written by a "man", informs us that since (male-created) technology allows women to have children on their own, men are no longer necessary. This is a wide-spread meme today and one more indication that men who are looking for an ally in solving their problems need to take care. My response to this ludicrous exercise in self-hatred  is very simple: Women make babies. Men make civilizations. ---
