Rampant issues with feminism....

Women do spend huge sums of money on cosmetics, makeup, breast-augmentation surgery, cosmetic surgery, hair styles, hair colours, nails, dresses, accessories, shoes, etc. etc. Some women spend hours preening themselves in the mirror. Many even remove the hair on their legs, armpits, and other bodiy areas. What is the point of all that? Is part of the reason to make themselves attractive to men?
No, "women" do not do that. Some women do that; sometimes it is because they, like a professional football player, won the genetic lottery for the physical attributes considered 'ideal' for their sex, and they can hit the financial jackpot by capitalizing on that; some, because they've internalized the idea that looks are the only way a woman can achieve social status (similar to a male gym rat).

Even Amy Farrah Fowler went in for the bikini wax.
because 'the Big Bang Theory' is representative of real people...

Where did you get the idea that some johns enjoy the power play when it comes to sleeping with hookers??? Ever talk to one? Sounds like another fabrication by some clueless radical feminist. Guys like that would either just become straight out rapists, or they would find a sub on craigslist.

Stem cell researchers have created spermatozoa with adult bone marrow. Having bone marrow harvested isn't as pleasant as sex, but I imagine a few women would do it for the good of the many.

Of course it would be different women - still sexual reproduction, albeit with only baby girls as a result b/c there would be no men contributing Y chromosomes; still, one marrow harvest should produce enough spermatozoa to created multiple infants. And, yes, in an apocalypse that wiped out all men and all technology, we'd be SOL - but that wasn't the original premise. The original premise was 'men refusing to have sex.'

Funny you should mention blanket statements when I'm pretty sure you had no problem with women assuming all guys are rapists in another thread...

I was just talking from what I knew from experience. Actually reading that study has made me even more disgusted by those sorts of men than I was before.

Please quote a post where I actually said that, since the vast majority of the thread that I think you're referencing was one long straw-man of my actual position, which is that women basically have to default on the side of defensiveness because they have no way of telling the minority of men who are rapists from the majority who are not.
Besides which, there is a big difference between, 'I'm going to take steps to protect myself because some people are dangerous,' and 'I'm going to assume that all people are stupid liars who don't know what they want.'
'Physical injury and/or death' is a significantly worse outcome than 'not getting sex.' Even if the odds of people being wrotten are the same for either gender, the risk (= odds x severity) is much higher for women.

The " 'nice guys' aren't as nice as they think they are" part of this already got discussed so nevermind that. But I think there is a lot of truth to the "'bad' guys aren't as bad as you think they are" part too. I have seen (ok, read) many shy and introverted men equating shyness and introversion with 'nice' and also equating raucous extroversion as 'jerk' or 'bad boy'. Then when the women go for the loud extrovert man, they say "women claim to like nice guys but only date the jerks". In reality, many of those loud and raucous extroverts are nice. Being an introvert is not inherently nicer than being an extrovert. So when women wind up with them, they have in fact gone for the nice guy, he just is a loud nice guy.
Okay, but what about when you genuinely care about her and want her to be happy, and she comes to complain to you about how much of a dick the "nice extrovert" is being to her all the time?

And what about the fact that she'll sit there and claim to like nice guys but CONSTANTLY complains about how much of a dick the guys she WILLINGLY dates and CONTINUES to date are? If she really wanted nice guys, she'd stop going out with all the dicks and give someone who actually TREATS HER NICELY(hey, there's a thought) a chance, but she very rarely does.
No, not all girls want a**holes, but a lot of them do, whether they admit it or not. Or maybe they think because he's nice about 10% of the time(most likely only when he wants in her pants), that he's a nice guy. Or maybe it's not that they're attracted to the fact that he's an a**hole, but the things that come with him being an a**hole(a**holes tend to be "tough guys" who, in her eyes, are probably more willing to fight someone to defend her or something like that). I dunno, but I have to laugh most of the time when I hear women say they want "nice guys."

Has the guy in question ever asked her out? If not, she might assume that he's the one who isn't interested. After all, if she can be friends with people she's not attracted to, why would she assume that he is any different?
The vast majority of self-proclaimed 'Nice Guys' that I've ever encountered IRL and online have been actual a**holes who do not respect women and only go through the motions of being polite in order to score.

well, the guy in question is me, and while I didn't say "will you go out with me," I definitely told her about how I felt... and she kept insisting that she was interested in people based on personality, yet at the same time, she'd constantly say things similar to "oh look, a hot guy. I must speak to him!" She would complain to me pretty much every single day about a guy who admitted to me that he just wanted p****, and that he was cheating on her. Besides this, he would just generally treat her like s**t and use her for money and other things as well. She would constantly complain to me about him, but then whenever he wanted in her pants, she'd ditch me to go be with him. It doesn't matter now anymore. I'm past all that, but it doesn't change the fact that I always see girls with a**holes, and I also always hear them complaining about how they can't seem to find nice guys. But then when guys do treat them nicely, they want nothing to do with those guys beyond complaining to them about the a**hole they're dating.

Quit giving a cop out answer.
To be quite blunt, women are probably just as likely of being a sexual predator as men are, difference is that in the case of women, they often are under reported.
