Married people are alone too. Loneliness is the human condition. But married people experience extra stupid things besides loneliness. like?

stupidity is a human condition, too.
but women have held great power throughout history. there's not a man alive that incur the fear that a woman can create in a person when cruelty is combined with power. ...and i think queen elizabeth saw quite the period of excellence, maybe? maybe you could google that. ...maybe i could, since i refute that statement of women being in power for the first time in history thing.

Very true crow.
I hate it when people try to characterize sexism as having the same components as racism. Sexism is not a situation of one gender oppressing another gender. Sexism affects everyone. Both men and women are victims of sexism. Both men and women have sexist attitudes about women. Both men and women have sexist attitudes about men.
There are two lines of conversation that are certain to make any discussion of gender issues impossible. The first one is abortion, the second one is "who has it worse?" First of all the question is unanswerable. Secondly the question is demanding that we pick a side, where there should be no side to pick, we all live in these communities together. Third the question demands a polarity where if I recognize one gender "having it worse" it means I shouldn't care about what the other gender has to deal with or that I should even try to make their lives worse than they are.
Being a men's rights activist does not mean I don't also stand up for women and care about women's issues. I care about issues that both genders deal with. I choose to focus my attention to men's rights issues because for one, as a man I am in a better position to discuss them- and for two, there are plenty of people already focused on women's issues that I don't feel adding one more to the mix will help. Also the situation for women in our society tends to be improving and has been doing so for 50 years now. The situation for men is getting worse.

By "getting worse" you mean "becoming equal". For the two genders to become equal men must lose the things that made them privileged in society. Men are losing things and women are gaining to put them on an even keel which is what the feminist movement has brought about. For example men have lost the ability to make the final decision in a martial/family situation, allowing the woman to have a moral/social/legal/financial voice.
At one time women were not allowed to vote, own property, do anything without her husbands/fathers say so. That male power has been largely removed so women can do everything men can in the law. How that is anything but a good thing is beyond me. To be honest men don't need activists to support their rights because they have always had the right to do as they please more or less, its just now women have that right too.

I am married and have been with the same female for 10 years, 1/3 of my entire life, so I will give my view on the situation. The exact same thing makes marriage good and bad, comfort. You can do and say anything with someone you are that accustomed to. On the other hand boredom and complacency becomes a problem. Self improvement drops. I am truly of the belief that men and women are not designed to live together. Our minds are not configured the same, thus misunderstandings are immanent. How often have you heard someone of the opposite sex tell you, "you just don't understand". Often for most. It is because we as both sides do NOT understand. Part of our communications with each other is based on presumptions, that the other side has a basic understanding of where and what thoughts are based from.

Hrm, page 2 has wandered from the original statements so my comment seems out of place.
