Author loony Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 That was more directed to your response to the answers you've received. I am definitely getting pissed off with the attitude that some people have displayed here. They have hardly read what I had posted and instead have jumped to conclusions about my character. Some people have used this thread to go on a rant about feminists without having read my argumentation at all. Sorry, if my replies are then not as sugarcoated and feminine as you would like them to be. Link to post Share on other sites

lindya Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I don't know. loony seems to be the most aggressive one in this thread and the most intolerant of differing opinions. Just because a woman disagrees with a man doesn't automatically make that man misogynist, threatened, or bitter. Disagreement leading to intelligent debate can be a great thing. If I were to state "I believe that many women are still oppressed" then that's an opener for discussion or debate. I would expect to be asked to provide clarification and examples....and to concede that even if my statement is true, it's equally true that many women are not oppressed. If I say "many women are still oppressed" and a man responds with fury, sarcasm and ridicule, then what could have been a healthy debate simply turns into a hostile mobbing exercise. By the by...I remember an old boyfriend saying that most men who woke up with breasts and a vagina (of their own, that is) would embrace feminism with a passion and aggression that would make Andrea Dworkin look like Passive Housewife of the Year.

Yes, Daddy. You are always right. lindya, I don't think it matters if you say "I believe that many women are still oppressed" or "many women are still oppressed". Link to post Share on other sites

Author loony Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yes it can. But calling everyone who disagrees with you bitter is not intelligent debate. You know what. Go through this thread and then tell me who uses the word 'bitter' first and tell me to whom it was addressed, ok? Link to post Share on other sites

Unless I missed an earlier instance of it, it was first used by Blackfrost in reference to a girl he apparently knew in Seattle. My previous comment was in reference to your use of that though, in addition to references of men being threatened and narrow-minded simply for having their own opinions.

tanbark813 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 And who is the next person to use it? And where did I use this word? I believe the next person was RecordProducer. You used it in response to her on page 12. By the way, if you click those numbers on the upper-right or lower-right side of the page you can peruse the thread yourself. That way you don't have to keep asking me to look for you. Link to post Share on other sites

Author loony Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 You lost me. What have I failed to back up? Here: You asked a question. I answered. Then you spout off about how bitter and threatened all males are. Please. Just because a woman disagrees with a man doesn't automatically make that man misogynist, threatened, or bitter. I was just giving you an example with 'bitter'. You're trying to make it sound as if I'm the one here who is picking up fights while the other posters are oh so polite and friendly. But whatever, I'm not going to marry you and you're not going to marry me and we will live happily ever after just like in the fairy tales, so stop bugging me. I've heard your opinion and that's it. If you can't contribute anything more useful to this thread than your judgment of my character then stop posting. Link to post Share on other sites

Happy couples Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Some women would like to keep their name for independent purposes. This creates problem when the man is not comfortable with his masculin power. If the man and women understand and respect each other, whatever the case will not be a problem. When two people get married, they become one, but they are also still two. Names are just names, traditions are just traditions - whichever it is. If two people are happy, and two people understand each other. Even your last name is "ugly" and "really ugly"... doesn't matter does it? As far as both are happy and loving each others, they are only names... Link to post Share on other sites
