With all due respect to the many sweet, sensitive and sensual answers
posted here - women need men because no one else needs women badly
enough to put up with the frequent, insulting, stereotyped jokes which
many women are hypocritical enough to conjoin with their "judge me as an
individual" rants.

Call it a pet peeve - but can you imagine a guy in a crowded office
likening his partner to a rather slow child or a household appliance and
getting a loud, comfy laugh? 'Cause I sure as hell can't, but I hear the
inverse all the darn time.

nom and i here tit and ass jokes....learn to laugh at yourself a
little...i love and cherish men.i'm raising a little man myself.

Hi Cutelil,
So here's the reason I'm grinding an axe. It isn't that I lack a sense
of humor, or that guys have any shortage of faults. The reason that tit
and ass jokes are considered "risque" and told only in certain
contexts/company is because it has been largely recognized that they
reduce the female persona to certain basic sexual attributes, and that
this does women an injustice. This is the same reason you won't usually
catch me perpetuating that meme.

Crafting stereotypes about men, however, in spite of having the same
socio-political effect, is not risque. In other words, it is not
largely given credence that this is doing men an injustice at all.

Speaking as a man who defies a great many of the stereotypes which
define my gender, and who feels that I should not have to conform in
order to feel virile or male, I have a vested interest in subverting
that paradigm. Long story short, it isn't talked about, therefore I
talk about it. Related subject - why are racial jokes taboo but fat
jokes OK? Some of these assumptions need to be examined.

Just my opinion, but I'll thank you for respecting it.
