Make better partner choices. One thing I've noticed in my life is 'nice guys' sleep alone far more often than the jerks who treat their women badly. Perhaps you can explain that to me.
I'm sure most men think of themselves as 'nice guys' but studies have shown that men do have a distorted perception of how much they actually do about the house..and I'm not sure what you're saying is actually true. Nice guys are more likely to end up in a lasting relationship.
A Personal perspective.
Over the last ten years I have loved/cared deeply for 12 women, all of which said to my face that I was a "nice guy". None of these women cared for me as I was not their type.
Nine of the women had their partners cheat on them,
Six were verbally abused regularly and in public.
Three were physically beaten.
And One was struck across the face with a cricket bat.
So from this experience I feel that the Saying that "Nice guys finish last" is true.
Still, I would like a lady to explain to me what women look for in a mate.
Sadly this doesn't work. Guys will always assume that I don't know anything about cars because I am a woman. It doesn't matter that I know more about cars than I do about cooking. I still get patronised.
C'mon Es. Of course they do. They're also going to assume that you don't anything about football because you are a woman. Just like women assume men don't know anything about home decorating or child rearing. I don't know diddly about football, and one of my best friends here knows lots. As soon as she starts talking authoritatively about the game, guys are thrilled.
As human beings can only interpret the universe around them using generalizations, they make assumptions based on the first evidence that they have. If, once you demonstrate your knowledge about cars or whatever, some fool still thinks you don't know anything, then be done with them. But rest assured, that happens on both sides of the aisle.

All I've got to go on is my own experience as a woman, the experiences of all the other women I've ever talked to and all the books and studies I've read on the subject (and even though a lot of those books are written by women, I'm sure they still use reason and conscious thought to come to their conclusions).
I'm sure some do. And I'm sure some use bias and partisan rhetoric and push their agenda.
The point is that people AREN'T equal. They never have been. They never will be. Not to mention that plenty of people still willingly embrace traditional gender roles. And there's nothing wrong with that. But the idea that there would be exactly 50% male and female CEOs, fighter pilots, physicists, and football players absent some perception of discrimination is just silly.
For example, a number of the women here in law skool are complaining because they don't like the fact that their career will suffer if they take a few years off to raise children. They act as if that's some discriminatory practice. It's very simple: A) If I take that same time off to raise children as a male, my career will suffer as well. B) They can always start their own law firm and pay parents at home who aren't bringing in revenue the same amount as associates the bring in enormous revenue. Shockingly enough, none of them ever do. And none of them ever will.
It's all about choice. If a parent values child rearing more than they value their career, they should not be surprised that others, who spent five years getting more experience, will have better career prospects that someone who raised children for five years. The fact that most families still choose traditional gender roles for raising their children isn't mass discrimination.

Of course, my dear, any "gentleman" is most welcome, as long as he understands that his membership is in support of the highly intelligent, gifted women involved in this project 8}
You may not think it but you were lucky it was a clean break. A dislocated shoulder is often the outcome of the type of fall you describe and that can lead to long term problems. Here am i teaching granny ( nursie ) to suck eggs. Ach well, hope you managed to see most of the one moose town before you high dived.
Ah, but it was not just a "clean break" unfortunately. Two fractures, one at the rotator cuff insertion. It's been a long road back. After six months I still have only fair use of the joint. Lots of physical therapy in process.
I high dived within the first ten minutes of the tour, but had seen the town before. It's just a two hour drive from here. The bennie was that I spent the rest of the day in a recliner being visited by all the guest celebrities on hand from "Northern Exposure." That took a bit of the sting out of the events of the day.
