Finewine you are a very selective reader, if you read my posts, you'll see I both complain about the demasculination of men via feminisim and support it re my own personal ends

(that'll be my sense of humour).
I was making a general statement about the clash between genders. My statement was not directed specifically at anyone on this board. I did read your posts and saw both your support and complaint.
My statements never are meant at anyone posting. My statements have always been a comment on what I've observed about the particular topic of the post not about the person who writes the post.
I have read your posts and understand your sense of humor.
Are you being defensive?
I am not oppressed by men so feel no need to cut off their balls, not in any real sense. Sexuality should be irrelevant here, but I note some use is against you.
Well, there you have it. What is needed then is a better clarification of why women cut off men's balls. I wouldn't do it because I felt oppressed. I never have felt oppressed by men. I love the male gender. I actually prefer to be with them than women. Is that undignified??? Why?
In talking about castration, I would want to say I would castrate a man
because the frustration to me of his inability to hear what I am saying and feeling is insurmountable and I want to get his attention to shock him out of his complacency or because he emotionally mutilated me and I want him to know about it. (verbally not literally and by verbally I mean, "You asshole, I should castrate you for doing that or saying that." ) Am I no better than a man who emotionally mutilates a woman if I resort to verbal catration that you and bells promote. I am no different and nothing good comes from any of it but a venting of our feelings attacking the other person. Does it move forward any good solution to the conflict? NO. it becomes silly tit for tat childish immature behavior between "adult" men and women.
Sexuality can never be irrelevant, TOR. That is where we disagree. This is a thread about sexuality.
Some women I note, hang on the words of men and disregard other women and even try to rally support for male causes...compliments,flirting awash, very undignified
RE disregard other women. That makes it sound like it is a them against us issue. Why do I not have the freedom to rally around any idea I choose be it from a man or woman? Are you not making sexuality relevant with your statement. Maybe I am misunderstanding you. Please clarify that for me.
Why are compliments and flirting undignified?
Do they somehow demean your significance? Why do you let them demean your significance? What causes you to feel that they demean your significance?
What is undignified in celebrating my sexuality as a woman? Why should I want to hide it or think it undignified?
It seems to me that if sexuality was not relevant here then you would not feel the compliments, flirting awash, etc.. is very undignified.
When I think someone has done something nice or good, I'll compliment them.
Why is that a bad thing to do and why is it undignified?
What is incorrect about making a person feel good about him/herself?
If we expect men to rally around female causes, why can't a woman rally around a male cause?
Brent is an 'unusal' character (likeable though), and I would hope by now he understands my sense of humour enough to know that when I say men and women are different but designed to compliment each other, this is my true view, and that women being superior, or men is NOT.
Agreed, we are designed to compliment each other..
