I am re-posting this as written from Quora because I think it is relevant at any age. I hope you enjoy it.

I am really old, and I know death is imminent

Most of my friends have passed away, and of those remaining, they suffer from health problems in some way

I am myself totally deaf and partially blind. I live by myself

A Woman Should Never Hit A Man

But they do. A lot. 

A man has very few options when faced with a violent woman. A man has to exercise precise self-control when defending himself from a woman who goes all out to injure him. Even under full attack, men rarely hit back, but when they do the woman often gets hurt. Sometimes badly hurt, as happened to Ray Rice's wife, Janay Palmer Rice.

death threats and promises by feminist groups to shut it down. It was a great location along the Lake St. Claire and an old car rally showed up on the weekend as well ... Bonus!

Speakers included living legends like Erin Pizzey from the UK and Canadian Senator Anne Cools, who knew of each other's work since the 1970's, and subsequently became such great friends that they now call themselves "Soul Sisters." Other famous writers, intellectuals and activists included

Historic First International Conference on Men’s Issues going ahead in Detroit, Michigan

Boko Haram Slaughters More Men And Boys

Most of mainstream media continues to suppress the fact that Boko Haram singles out and slaughters men and boys. Aminu Abubakar reports that 400 - 500 males were slaughtered less than a week ago, but this story detracts from the Bring Back Our Girls campaign, so it is largely ignored. 

 

A Voice For Men comments on this tragedy, but feminists are completely silent, it's only males after all and many feminists will see this as progress towards their goal of culling the males to 10% of the population. There just are no words to explain the
