Why don’t some men want children?

No, men DO want children. So do women. Humans have evolved to instinctively desire children and to leave behind healthy offspring. If we hadn’t, the human race would have died out a long time ago. It’s just that some men don’t want to be da…

What is it about the British that makes them so fond of dystopian fiction, e.g. 1984 and Children of Men?

Q: It seems like a lot of dystopian fiction is set in future England, such as 1984, Brave New World, V for Vendetta, and the new movie Children of Men. After leaving the movie I wondered if there was something in the British character that made them predisposed to writing dystopian fiction.

A: Well, in the cases of ‘Brave New World’ and ‘1984’, I believe the authors’ respective backgrounds would play a part in the setting of their novels and on the nature of their work.However, setting wise, one could say that at the time of writing for both novels- 1930’s to 1950’s- Britain was still essentially seen as the centre of Western civilization and thus it seems logical to me to set a story about the extreme progression of civilization; an ‘uber civilization’ if you will, in the spiritual home of Western culture.Another thought on the matter could be that socialist Orwell felt that Britain could be the only place for the socialism of his ‘1984’ world to thrive in. I remember reading that Orwell was an opponent of imperialism and had seen first hand the supression of Spanish anarcho-syndicalists by Communists, and it is possible that part of his conception of ‘1984’ was some sort of timely hybrid of Nazi- and Stalinesque socialism and oppression transplanted into England as if it and the democratic Allies had lost the second World War, leaving the Communists and Nazis to move in and take over.But then, my English cousin once told me that England makes you gloomy and melancholy (melancholia is known as the ‘English disease’) because the public transport doesn’t ever run on time, the food is awful and the rain is disheartening.Of course, that’s just his personal beliefs, but then he is an Englishman.

He hates our children? Men feel free to answer this as well! Not all Feminists please.?

Q: I need some real help! My husband and I just had our second son a couple weeks ago, and I have noticed some serious changes in him ever since. He has never been what you might call…sensitive, or helpful, but he loves me very much. We are both young (23) and despite using VERY good birth control, now have two beautiful kids. Our first son is 16 months, and our second is 2 weeks old. My husband has always been an avid video game player, and can be rather childish and immature sometimes. We have always butted heads on issues like diapers, going to the grocery store, taking out the trash, and keeping the house clean. Basically I have to accomplish all these chores, or beg (literally) him to help with them for a couple days. Case in point, I am still recovering from the emergency c-section birth of our newest son, and there are six bags of garbage sitting out on the balcony, waiting to be taken out. I don’t ask more than once, maybe twice a day because I don’t want to be a nag.So the main reason for this post…He is having a hard time dealing with our children. He has been losing his temper with our toddler quite frequently. He won’t feed or change the new baby, even on nights when he has the next day off (which is the only time I ask him to do it)he won’t feed the new baby a single bottle so that I can get a couple hours of uninterrupted sleep. On his day off he sits around the house playing video games, and insists that I play too, if we get interrupted in the middle of an ‘important’ part by one of the kids he gets angry and starts pouting like a child himself. He won’t help with the dishes or anything else on his day off, he doesn’t even pick up his own dishes. Even the days that I am having a really hard time, he won’t help me when he gets home from work. He won’t feed our toddler dinner, or get him ready for bed. He just comes home from work and launches himself right into an all evening session of World of Warcraft (which I play with him after the kids are in bed or napping just so that we do SOMETHING together). But when I decide to go to bed he gets upset because I can’t stay up later.I have tried to talk to him about this, his usual response is, “I hate this.” “I hate having kids.” “I hate babies.”. Don’t get me wrong, he can be a great father, for about three minutes at a time, after that he gets bored and loses interest in his kids. I love my husband, and I realize that having two unplanned kids in two years is stressful…but I’m the one that had to have them, take care of them everyday, and still take care of the house. I don’t know what to do to make him happy. I honestly don’t think that I can take on any more of the responsibility, It’s already like I’m a single parent. Has anyone else dealt with this before, or any men that can give me advice on how to save my marriage, I love my husband dearly, but I fear we are headed for divorce if things don’t change.

A: Well.. and this is very good advice… Women and men mature at different times. He is right now going through the “Maybe i should have done this instead of the family thing” routine. When women do that, we cry or get depressed or get downright mean, when men do that, they show outward signs which usually to us women look like laziness and being insensitive to our needs.If you stick with him, you will be doing him a great favor because in a few years he will put away his childish things and focus more on the family. If he doesn’t by the time he is 28-30, then you two need to have a serious discussion about family values. Right now, he does not want to hear about family values or love or what can be in the future. And telling him these things will be more of a nag than asking him repeatedly to take out the trash. I read above where one person said to basically nag and he will give in. Well.. that is not always so. Some men give in, and others walk away. However, usually when men are nagged they do the exact opposite. It is like telling a child what to do, and your husband is not a child, he is a grown man that is battling something within himself, just as us women do everyday.I have noticed the exact same thing with my husband when we were younger and he did change his mind once our son started to have more of a personailty, believe it or not. When our son started coming to him with problems, and asking him questions and saying “i love you daddy”, my husband’s whole tune changed. Him saying “I hate babies” ask him why he said that. He may or may not mean that.. but I am guessing he says things like that when you ask him to help you. getting him to help you with small things will be the beginning…. and how you do that is when you are changing the baby, purposely put the baby powder or diaper rash cream about 3 feet way, close to him and just say “Hey baby, can you please hand me that powder?” and when he comes over, he inadvertently has helped with changing the baby and gets around the baby more. If he works, the last thing he wants after a hard day is to be ambushed by both kids. He needs time to relax. And he wants you to ask him how his day was. I do not know his schedule, but asking him to watch the little ones while you cook, or do something else for him is a good idea. That does three things.. brings him closer to the kids and makes him feel that he is taken care of and needed. But make sure he gets a good 30-45 minute breather after work before you ask him. Sit with him, and do not bark at him or tell him how you feel.. ask him about him. He needs attention right now, especially with a new baby in the house. He needs to know that you still love him and that you can still care for him as well as caring for the children. Play a video game with him for 10-20 minutes, ask him if he wants to teach you a new game, look at his interests, which i see you play WOW with him.. that is awesome.. tell him you need help with it, but not too much.. see what I am saying? This makes him feel needed in an area that he can totally help you with. So he is needed successfully. Men are not as complicated as women want them to be ;)And as for that trash, go ahead and take it out, but take it out when he is playing a video game or not doing anything to help, and do not say a word about it. Now, if you are hurt, call your brother, or ask a neighbor to help you.Just remember that if you treat him the way you want to be treated at all times, things will run more smoothly. About the person who stated to bust up the video games, it would be like him busting up a decoupage or scrapbooking or whatever hobby you have just because you spend too much time with it. His video games are his release. Without that, he would be much worse. Setting ultimatums does not work as well with a lot of men, as women think either. Again, treating your husband like a child is not good advice. He wants to know he is the master of the home, in control and on top of the situation… even if he isn’t 😉 Your love and patience with him will overcome the situations. If he tries to fight you, or says hurtful things, calmly handle it by simply saying “why are you talking to me like this? are you okay?” That helps a lot as well. Focus on him when he is in these moods.And in return, I promise you and the children will get more and more attention as time passes.I know it seems that by doing all of the above that your needs and your need for attention would be dimenished and that you are not getting what you deserve, however that is not so…. By talking to him and focusing on him, he will, in turn, be focusing on you by communiating back and inadvertently helping with the babies.

Us men are rather stupid about what the gals think about sex?

Q: Most men must not pay attention to what the gals say and do. Men mostly think that a woman after she is over 30 is not so good at sex any longer. After a woman has a child men tend to think she is not very good any more. I would like you ladies out there to set them straight. I find that you gals over thirty and yup way beyond that are so much better to be with than the young are. I like to look at a young pritty girl but after that i much prefer you out there that know what you want and are not asamed of it. If only I could keep up with you ladies.

A: dumb azz.
