I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them. Robin Morgan, Ms. Magazine Editor
The nuclear family must be destroyed… Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process. Linda Gordon
I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig. Andrea Dworkin

Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Andrea Dworkin
The institution of sexual intercourse is anti-feminist. Ti-Grace Atkinson
Rape is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear.

Politically, I call it rape whenever a woman has sex and feels violated. Catherine MacKinnon
The more famous and powerful I get the more power I have to hurt men. Sharon Stone
Ninety-five percent of women’s experiences are about being a victim. Or about being an underdog, or having to survive… women didn’t go to Vietnam and blow things up. They are not Rambo. Jodie Foster, quoted in The New York Times Magazine
The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race. Sally Miller Gearhart, in The Future – If There Is One – Is Female

Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience. Catherine Comins

I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He’s just incapable of it. Barbara Jordan, former Congresswoman

Man-hating is everywhere, but everywhere it is twisted and transformed, disguised, tranquilized, and qualified. It coexists, never peacefully, with the love, desire, respect, and need women also feel for men. Always man-hating is shadowed by its milder, more diplomatic and doubtful twin, ambivalence. Judith Levine
Women have their faults / men have only two: / everything they say / everything they do. Popular Feminist Graffiti
We are taught, encouraged, moulded by and lulled into accepting a range of false notions about the family.

Yet hiding from the truth of family life leaves women and children vulnerable. Canadian Panel on Violence Against Women
I do want to be able to explain to a 9-year-old boy in terms he will understand why I think it’s OK for girls to wear shirts that revel in their superiority over boys. Treena Shapiro

I am only using Suarez's case to tell you that a player cannot regain his full fitness without playing regularly and also that a player in a new league and team may need time to adapt.

"Falcao is living on past glory"

2013/14; played 1392 mins and scored 9 goals

2014/15; played 128 mins for Lille and scored 2 goals

2014/15; played 540 mins for Man Utd and scored 2 goals and assisted 3 goals.

Meaning that he has contributed to 7 goals this season.

And considering that he's just coming back from injuries and he's in a new league. You will need to explain your "living in past glory" for me to understand.
Hmm. How has he contributed seven goals?
How many games has he played for United and how many hoals has he scored?

And gor goodness sake stop quotong figures ftom that mickey mouse Ligue one.
You may love Radamel Falcao,but I love Manchester United. I have no other club so I will say what I frel benefits the club and not the player. Right now Falcao is a passenger amd should take his rightful place on the bench while young James Wilson starts.

Let me know the performance of a player who scored 31 goals in EPL last season(54 in last two seasons in EPL) moved to Barcelona on a transfer fee of 75mil pounds, earning around 200mil pounds per week and scored 1 goal with 5 assists in La Liga. With the standard attained by Suarez in EPL in the last two seasons, he should be banging in the goals in La Liga right now.

Mind you, nobody on the forum is saying Falcao has reached his full fitness. We all know that he still needs some improvement.
It appears you conveniently forgot a certain biting incident at the World cup that led to the suspension of a ceryain Mr Suarez.
And by the way,how has a thread about Manchester United suddenly delved to become about Suarez,who is not and jas never beem a United player.
Falcao is living on past glory and that is why Momaco got rid of him as soon as they could and United picked up a dud cheque.
By the way this is a player that no one is sure of his real agr.

For what Luiz Suarez did in EPL last two seasons and considering his huge transfer to Barcelona, why hasn't he "hit the ground running" as your logic implies?
Stop this your clutching at straws argument. Can you compare the performance of Suarez at Barcelona with the performance of Falcao at United?
Look at the body language of the two players. Suarez is performing while Falcao looks lost.
Any way lets watch Falcao against Stoke in a few days then we can come back to argue if he is worthy of being paid 265,000 pounds a week.

Calculate the number of minutes he has played and tell me if it's his fault

He has started just 4 matches out of 19, scored 2 and assisted one, that's not a bad run if you ask me
At 265k a week,he needs to hit the ground running. His body language on the pitch does not imply he can do this. He might score the odd one or two goals here or there,but in the end he is not what United need now to teturn to dominance.
I cant see him being at OT next seadon. This loan deal has fiasco written all over iy from day one.

It's not paid from our pockets. We needed drastic and desperate reaction to our poor 2013/14 season. We needed to lift the mood in the dressing room. We needed to take risk. Falcao was already a big earner before we bought him. We bought him as the best striker in the world. To bang in goals like Suarez did for Liverpool last season. The chances are coming, we have to wait and see.
This is rich,coming from someone who believed and insisted United should keep faith with calamity David Moyes last season.

Man Utd sign Falcao on loan for £6m
2 September 2014 Updated 00:31 GMT
By Simon Stone - BBC Sport
Manchester United have signed Colombia striker Radamel Falcao in a £6m season-long loan deal from Monaco.
Falcao had been linked during the summer with a move away from the French Ligue 1 side, whom he joined for £50m in May 2013.
The 28-year-old scored 11 goals in 20 league appearances for Monaco, and two in three games this season.
Falcao was United's second deadline-day arrival after the £13.8m signing of Daley Blind from Ajax.
The versatile Netherlands international, 24, has signed a four-year deal with United.
Falcao's move, meanwhile, includes an option for United to buy him for £43.5m at the end of the loan spell.
The player will earn approximately £265,000-a-week, while it is not thought Monaco are paying part of his wages.
The striker told his new club's website:
"Manchester United is the biggest club in the world and is clearly determined to get back to the top.
"I am looking forward to working with Louis van Gaal and contributing to the team's success at this very exciting period in the club's history."
United, like most of Europe's top clubs, had been made aware of Falcao's availability over the past 48 hours.
Premier League champions Manchester City opted against pursuing a deal as they could not make space in their squad for the Colombian.

his first touch was inside box-6, he was too close to the goalie and lloris ain't a slouch. rooney's chance was at the edge of the box with the goalie to beat.......how did rooney's control took the ball backwards? grin
they all missed chances but rooney's chance was the most glaring, the easiest to finish. it's a disgrace he squandered that good ball from carrick.
rooney didn't play deeper than carrick, rafael, valencia, etc. how did they manage to create more chances on the day than rooney?
the same argument applies to chicharito - why did we loan him out? cheesy
We loaned out Chicharito to make way for this has been called Falcao. Thats the plain truth.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Caveatemptor(m): 9:18pm On Dec 28, 2014
coogar:
if fit, falcao should play every game. at least, he gets into good positions and he shoots on target more often than our regular strikers. it will take time before his team mates understand his movements & runs. i trust him more to terrorise opposition's defence than RVP, rooney or wilson.
You guys are funny and living on hope. The hope that the Falcao deal will not end as a fiasco.
If Falcao was as lethal as he ised to be would Monaco loan him out to United?
This guy has been living on past glory and past reputation.
He has used that past reputation to engineer this loan move to United.
I bet Van Gaal jas seen through him but just has to playhim because of the money involved,quite similar to the Brown Ideye situation at WBA.

I think you are taking it too far. He is working his way back to fitness. He will get there soon. Even fit strikers sometimes have lull.
The brutal truth is that Falcao is NOT the player he once was. He is slow,finds it difficult to control the first ball,and constantly gives the ball away to opponents. He constantly falls to the ground and is apparently lacking in fitness and confidence.
I just can't see Van Gaal approving a permanent deal if he continues with such poor goal scoring results.
Falcao as he presently is can NOT scare any defender in the EPL. Lets be honest with ourselves.

Has James Wilson been effective so far?
I`ll rather keep on playing Falcao than playing Wilson who has not brought anything to the team.
All our strikers were poor today. Why single out Falcao?
He only needs to calm down. It seem he`s too much in a hurry in his game.
The rate at which Falcao falls to the turf shows a player lacking fitness and confidence on his own ability. He is just not the player he once was because his body has been ravaged by injuries.
The amount of money being paid for this guys loan deal is ridiculous considering he has done practically zilch sine he arrived OT.
The loan is even more annoying considering the fact that we released Welbeck and loaned out Chicharito,Nani and Zaha.
Is Falcao better than what we've got on current form? I say a big fat NO.

coogar:
falcao will start again surely.....
rooney, RVP, mata, etc have had worse performance before now and they still got the chance to play. we need tall players against stoke.....
I do not think Falcao should start against Stoke. In his present form Ryan Shawcross will have him for breakfast,lunch and supper.

Odunharry:
City 2 vs Burnley 2 na wah o
That is why our draws with Villa and Spurs are annoying. We should have cut down the gap a lot more. Now we got a tough,tough visit to Stoke where we NEED to pick up three points.
Does Van Gaal persist with the ineffective Falcao or turn to rookie James Wilson?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Caveatemptor(m): 5:42pm On Dec 28, 2014
coogar:
how many times has he started?
this is the first time falcao has started a game for us without scoring or assisting a goal. he gives us the fear factor, our midfielders just need to adapt to his game.
Coogar,
What I am simply saying is that for the amount of dough this Falcao loan deal is costing Manchester United this guy should be sticking the ball in the back of of the net more regularly.
If I was A defender of a vlub facing Falcao in his current form I would be pretty confident I could keep him quiet for 90 minutes.

SailorXY:
you didn't have to lie. if he's had a poor game, it doesn't mean he's been short one 'when he plays'. Mata has had terrible off-days, same with van Persie, same with Smalling, same with di Maria, etc; yet these guys are integral part of this team & this goes to show that no player is perfect. unfortunately, everyone that had a chance today was off - Rooney, van Persie, Falcao, Mata all had glaring misses & Falcao's was not the worst we saw.

what this team sorely lacks going forward, is directness & pace - exactly what di Maria brings when on song. Young really did well but the moment he was moved to left winger, he became anonymously anonymous again. the more reason I'm not opposed to a Bale bid is cuz he's a perfect compliment on the other flank, & another option when di Maria is not available altogether.
My friend,
Falcao was signed on loan to score goals. Has he done his job?
Please can I know how many goals Falcao has scored since he arrived?
So where is the fear factor?I don't sre any.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Caveatemptor(m): 5:07pm On Dec 28, 2014
MrTA:
Its just one of those games that our strikers have let us down.

Atleast Mata was good and really improved.

I definitely won't sign Falcao this summer based on his performances so far. His wages and sign on fee arent worth it at all.

Tough away match at stoke next.
Signing Falcao would be a bloody waste of money. Chicharito would put away all the chances Falcao is squandering. We need to bring him back when his loan expires.
Falcao was once one of the most feared strikers in the world but right now he is a liability and a passenger on the field.

coogar:
falcao gives us the fear factor.

we must sign him.
I don't think Falcao gives any fear factor when he is falling on the turf half the time and kicking the turf instead of the ball the other half.
If Falcao wants to be signed,he needs to start doing his job and sticking the damn ball in the back of the net. Right now Falcao is a shortage and when he plays its like we have a shortage of one man.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Caveatemptor(m): 4:06pm On Dec 28, 2014
I think we dropped another two points today. We should have put this game to bed in the first half. Rooney,Van Persie and Mata should have scored. And why os Falcao always on the turf? Appears he is not fit. I wouldn't recommend him being signed at the end of the season.
De Gea,Carrick,Mata,Young and Valencia were solid as usual,but in all honesty we got to be putting games like this to bed especially as I feel Chelsea may slip up today
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Caveatemptor(m): 11:06am On Dec 28, 2014
I think Manchester United and Van Gaal are begining to get it right. Now if we could just get the tight result at White Hart Lane it could be the catalyst to jump start our season and blast us into the new year. As good as Chelsea and Mourinho are,I still believe they will slip up somewhere along the line and will be caught.
But first things first. Spurs..

It starts with the design you have for your marriage. As far as we are concerned, the good, the bad, everything is joint. He makes a little over 100% what I make but everything goes in one pot. Even when I had no income, it was always one pot so if I found myself earning more, nothing would change.

We have a "household income" and "household expenses" it's never been about Mrs or Mr's income. Big ticket items/ideas are discussed before purchase/commitment because it is "our" money, not his or hers and when either of us spends, it has nothing to do with the ratio of contribution.

It's a very simple model and it's worked from day one.
A reasonable approach to marriage.
Kudos.

A husband and wife are meant to be ONE. They are meant to compliment one another. Marriage is not meant to be a competition between two people but a partnership. My husband has always been a good provider for my family but if the shoe was on the other foot,I would certainly try my best to play the role without grumbling or making him feel bad or less of a man.
Themadame,
Lovely contribution. Marriage is certainly not a competition between two people. It os a loint venture.
