    I really don't think there are nearly as many "man-hater feminists" out there as some think or fear. As with anything in life, you'll have people that distort a valid idea or movement and go too far. In part I think the problem is that more radical elements tend to make more noise or get more of the attention. I'm a feminist, and in fact it bothers me when people say they aren't because truly it's meaning is that provided by MidniteMassage above, and has nothing to do with man-hating or putting men down. The other thing--and sometimes this is deliberate but often it's just unconscious--is when a group has been privileged with power it's hard for it recognize it and even harder for it to give that advantage up. Whether it's wealth, race, age, or gender, certain groups in our society are given advantages. Which isn't to say there's anything wrong with being rich, white, young, or male, or that those of us who fall into one or more of those demographics don't have problems, but we're also often blind to the privilege we have. I say this because some men are threatened by feminism and are unconsciously lasing out at the loss of their privilege. So they'll point to those feminists who are radical or unfair and paint them as if that's what all feminism is and undermine the movement and change the conversation. To be clear, I in no way think that's what the OP is doing here. Rather, I think it's in part the result of those that are threatened by feminism distorting its meaning (along with the few radicals) that the entire word starts to lose its true meaning or give it a bad taste for all of us when it shouldn't.

    I think the answer to that question will be different for everybody, but probably does come down simply to what you can afford. Whether you see somebody one a year or once a week there is no objective right answer. For me, if I spent $5000 in a year let alone a month I'd be being irresponsible and spending more than I should based on what I can reasonably set aside for this. I know I'm not able to budget as much as many can but no doubt it's also more than others. I wouldn't say this is much different than most other activities in this regard. You've got to decide what it is worth to you and what you can afford. Admittedly this can be trickier than it sounds because it can certainly be oh so addictive. Now...how do you maintain the discipline to keep to any budget, whatever that may be? That could be it's own discussion! :)

    If you really want to make sure someone is serious, may I suggest... ...carrier pigeon! My own preference is also to go by email, but I'm also fine calling or texting as the lady requests. Part of why I prefer email is I feel I can introduce myself and ask any questions all in one go...I feel like I'm writing a book if I try to do the same message by text.

    Brad commented on Kate von Katz's gallery image in Converted Albums

    I don't comment on a lot of pictures, but this whole album is incredible. Very alluring!

    You'll naturally want the final word from MOD, but based on the latest rule wording (great change, IMO!) I don't see how the lady could be faulted if a guy mentions sexual services in a recommendation or even shares a link to her site. Since MOD seems to be saying you'll only get in trouble if you post about sexual services or link to a site that does, then I would assume in the above scenario it would be the gent that would have broken the rules, not the lady. Actually, even before this latest rule change, I can't see how anyone would reasonably hold the ladies responsible for a guy's actions. In no way is it her fault or under her control if someone else is ignorant of the rules.

    I like boobies!

    Brad replied to newboy's topic in Fun Threads

    When Bill C-36 gets my spirits down, there's always boobies to get them back up.
