If I were the 'feminist' you assume I am I wouldn't have pooh poohed your silly 'sisterhood' comment.
For the record I wasn't 'upset' so again you flatter yourself, I just call BS when I see it. You were making silly little comments about being chums together when people obviously have quite deep differences that you seem to think aren't worth discussing. This has nothing to do with gender or didn't you notice?
I assume you have no or very little sense of humour because really you are being completely anal about this feminist v men thing, you probably should stop labelling people as well.
Well people, you see now how arguments happen on here, a comment is posted, another follows showing that the first posters comment was completely over reacted to, insults flow, assumptions pile up and pow, we have a class MT argument. Thank you realg for demonstrating how someone grabs the wrong end of the stick, ascribes motives, blusters and makes disparaging remarks because he didn't take the care to think about what he wrote. It is careless to assume for a start that the people he was talking to are actually men lol, a simple remark would have sufficed instead of a quasi hail fellow well met platitude that was condescending to all.
Posts are read in the tone of 'voice' and the emotion of the reader, if the reader is angry, upset and dislikes the poster then that poster is ascribed the same emotions. so the reader, realg, being angry and upset assumes I am, he assumes because of
his not my life experiences that I must be one of those rabid feminist he so hates, he assumes this too because I pointed out something in his posts, this made him angry. this leads him to think I'm the angry one, the person who is has an agenda to push feminism.
Long time posters here will tell you that I must have in the past ten years or so only mentioned anything to do with being female a couple of times, usually on the female section and more often than not about something as mundane as what sports top or chest protector is best. Even those you dislike me will have to admit I don't have a 'feminist' agenda, most don't know my gender. I say what I think, people don't agree, that's fine it would be a very boring place if we all agreed, ugh.
So, some people cannot be reasoned with, some people on here are tsutcherppenish, sent to try our patience but life is too short to worry about it. And the answer will always be....Gurkhas!
