dreamingoftigers Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 She saved another woman. Would a woman be as selfless for a boyfriend or husband? I would've before h and I had a baby together. I don't think I could throw myself in front of a bullet for him but I would for my kids. It isn't because he's a man but because we are both parents now. I don't know if that makes any sense. In a way I hope he wouldn't throw himself in front of a bullet for me either. Our little girl needs us both cone what may. I guess it's a hard thing to contextualize.
Cracker Jack Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I don't think it makes sense to draw that conclusion based on a few topics here on LS. In fact, LS isn't a good representative of anything when it really comes down to it. But yeah, these topics are overdone and never help anyone. It just keeps the cycle going.
fortyninethousand322 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 This makes me sad. I mean, are you saying that if a Mother had to run into a burning building to save her kids, you think she'd just grab her girls and leave the boys to burn? Do you REALLY believe that? Well if the mother was anything like this guy maybe she lets all the children burn.
Author Woggle Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 This makes me sad. I mean, are you saying that if a Mother had to run into a burning building to save her kids, you think she'd just grab her girls and leave the boys to burn? Do you REALLY believe that? The kids are different. I wonder if a woman would do that for a boyfriend or a husband.

Yeah, that's nuts. This makes a better basis for comparison.
udolipixie Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 She saved another woman. Would a woman be as selfless for a boyfriend or husband? I just wonder if most women would do that for a male SO. That depends on the woman though it's telling you don't seem to wonder if most men would do that for their female so. If you're taking the shooting as your basis for not wondering about men and applying two men's actions to the general population then it seems you're overlooking the ones who didn't protect their so such as the man who left his wife and two children.
Author Woggle Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 There are already two proven cases of men doing that for a GF. I just wonder if most women would do that.
sally4sara Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I just wonder if most women would do that for a male SO. Then tell you what Woggle, why don't you do what that guy did and see how long it takes till a woman saves a guy. Will that make you happy? Probably not. You take happy two handfuls at a time and flush it down the drain. You are the black void where happy goes to die. I often imagine your wife running up to random strangers and asking them if they can see and hear her.
Author Woggle Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 I am not killing anybody just to test it. I will ask the women here who have men they are in love with would you protect them during a shooting or leave them behind?

Here's two proven cases of women doing that for a male partner so I guess that answers your wondering since you applied two cases to the general male population.

mesmerized Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 You certainly have reading comprehensions woggle or are very anti-female yourself. I CANNOT fathom how someone cannot see that in this forum there is 879879898x more Woman-bashing/hating than the opposite. There is truly no question about it. Almost every day there is a thread calling women awful things. You're not getting any sympathy here from me. Why am I wasting my time in this thread? 1
sally4sara Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I am not killing anybody just to test it. I will ask the women here who have men they are in love with would you protect them during a shooting or leave them behind? None of us, male or female, can answer that question. We don't know how we will react in such an extreme situation until we are in it. And it wouldn't matter even if we could tell you what we'd do. You would just not believe any answer of yes I would out of the female posters. BROKEN BROKEN BROKEN BRAIN
anne1707 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I am not killing anybody just to test it. I will ask the women here who have men they are in love with would you protect them during a shooting or leave them behind? Woggle This is an absolutely ridiculous question to ask. Nobody, absolutely nobody, knows how they will act in such a situation until they find themselves in that situation (and they then will probably do so without consciously thinking it through).
udolipixie Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I am not killing anybody just to test it. I will ask the women here who have men they are in love with would you protect them during a shooting or leave them behind? You can just google 'woman saves boyfriend' or 'woman saves husband' to test it as it seems all you need is two proven cases to apply to the general population as you did with men. As well as 'what you say' may not equate to 'what you do'.
dreamingoftigers Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Heelloooo. I would've for my SO. But not after we had our baby. Simply this: if the shot was stray there's say a 50/50 chance that it's fatal. That's not GREAT odds on survival. But decent enough. If I throw myself in front of h, who has demonstrated time and time again that he hasn't really valued me all that much, I risk orphaning our daughter because that bullet could easily pass right through me, change it's trajectory enough to cause it to be fatal for him too. Therefore changing what would've been a 50/50 fatality into two fatalities. It isn't because I wouldn't love my husband. I just love my daughter more. I would hope that neither one of us would place the other higher than we would place our kid.

Author Woggle Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 I am not anti-female but I have been holding this in and trying so hard to be positive since I got back and I just snapped. Things I have been reading just ate at me.
veggirl Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I am not killing anybody just to test it. I will ask the women here who have men they are in love with would you protect them during a shooting or leave them behind? :rolleyes: How would we know, unless we have been in that situation? I don't know if I'd throw myself in front of my BF. I don't know if he'd throw himself in front of me. I guess I hate men and he hates women? I notice you ignored my question about the baby, and 49s link. Cause gasp it made a man look bad?
fortyninethousand322 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Woggle, if it helps you get some perspective, I'll be honest, I would not take a bullet for a random girl and not even for a girl I was dating. Maybe if I was married or in a long term relationship that would be different. But just a date? No way. I'm getting myself and my loved ones out first. Does that mean I "hate women"? I don't know, I don't think it does.

dreamingoftigers Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I've protected h and bfs before him in different ways. I would get involved in protecting them in say an attack or something. Shootings are different. I don't think I'd run though. Unfortunately for me, my instinct is to freeze, which has been proven time and again. If it was a knifing or something that'd I'd step in for. I wouldn't be like those dumb chicks in the action movies who just stand there screaming "get him Kirby, get him!" Like WTF? why would he even want her after she's willing to stand there and watch him potentially get killed when she could've knocked the other guy on the head with the nearby shovel. As well, part of the discrepancy for the shooting reactions of men vs. Women is 2 fold. One, men are biologically set up to react much more quickly than women to threat. They are also more physically powerful. It's much more likely for a man to tosshis girlfriend on the floor and lay on top of her than vice-versa.

I am not saying anything will happen with you and CE but for arguments sake if it did who do you they will side with? I made the choice to not let it affect me. You can do the same if you really want to. I treat my relationship as a unique one and you should do the same with yours. 1
