F@#$ men and the self-aggrandizing pedestals they stand on...
Edited on Wed Aug-09-06 10:53 PM by Writer
I'm not getting into this one, only to say that I used to be a woman who believed men got a bad rap from the uprighteous feminists in our society. I am now over that notion - COMPLETELY.

I am on a bitch tear that you're going to limp away from, bleeding profusely in a way you don't want to.

6. If you respect me, I'll respect you.
That's how I work. The good old Golden Rule.

26. Post #6's version is an inversion of Post #11's inversion.
Regardless, the Golden Rule has its limitations.

Anyway, I'm sorry you hate men, and that certain men have recently pulled heinous shit on you.

Take care.

15. I've been disrespected one too many times, 'tis all.
No attention to details. Forgets what's important to a woman. Uses his power to manipulate and control. Can't control his goddamned libido for long enough to utilize his common sense.

(You may not have been following other threads of mine as of late. And if you knew me, you'd know how many times I've been through this.)

21. I remember reading some of your posts
but none along this theme that I can recall. Sounds like a jerk, this guy.

Maybe redirect your anger at him wholly instead of what seems to be spreading it among men, possibly hurtfully?

23. It ain't just him...
I've got one at home, too. And I've had others before him. I'm not messing around with their stupidity anymore.

14. Well, take it from me and his OTHER ex-girlfriend....
not all men are bad, but many are.

I just found out the man I was dating for the last year has/had a girlfriend for the last FIVE. He lied to both of us. She called me at work last Friday - we are now very good friends. :D

20. Thanks...
But I'm okay. I've been pissed at him for other reasons for months - SHE just got a major kick in the face, finding out about me, however. I LOVE her though. We've talked every day since Friday. Including one marathon talk of 12 hours.

Really, I think we'll both only miss ONE thing about him ... and it's nothing to do with his personality. ;-)

18. Hey Madrone!
Jebus! I am sorry you went through THAT. But glad that you established a rapport with the other wronged party. :hi:

I hope he gets his one day. :-) You deserve better.

24. I KNOW!
Totally beeeee-zarre. Yep - Mary is one COOL chick. She's in Sturgis right now, getting some major ride therapy. What's really funny is she is almost 20 years my senior.

Dude is a major alcoholic anyway - and someone I've been trying to detach from for some time. He's very obsessive, and makes it very difficult.

How's you?

22. We must have switched places
Because I used to be the uprighteous feminist until I got my ass kicked from here to the moon and back (emotionally) by a few girlfriends. Now I'm just in the void with feminism, I don't know where I stand.

But I am sorry that you are going through these hard times. I've been following your posts on your struggles and it sounds like you are really dealing with some humanity. I am so sorry. It's really hard, seeing fucked up stuff go down and not being able to do anything about it.

25. I appreciate that... here's my take on women...
jealous. Antagonistic. Catty. At least they can be.

Maybe I just hate all people right now?
