virgiomonkey: ......This will be interesting one...What....!!!!...Careful... American Ladies can get quite upset and vicious if any constructive criticism is put to them,only they can dish out the Criticism....Correct American Ladies.....????? J.D
Constructive criticism? Or tiresome generalization, perhaps?
You say in a more recent post that we are all part of humanity and you tell another writer to think about that...to accept and embrace all. Yet time and time again, you single out American women as a group to be avoided at all costs. Where is YOUR acceptance?
If I am a harsh, bitter, money-grubbing, high maintenance, ungiving, uncaring, selfish woman....call me on it and offer some of your constructive criticism. If my biggest crime is the fact that I am an American woman, then it is you, sir, who needs to re-think your attitude.
I must go to work in a few minutes...so if you reply, I won't be able to answer you soon. I just want to add one more thing.
There are many insensitive things that can be said about others as a group, but for the most part, people have learned to step back and check themselves before saying something. I don't condone prejudices towards any group of people, and most intelligent people don't, either. Discrimination against races, sexual orientation, gender, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs... I am totally disgusted by this and, generally speaking, even those people who bear such prejudices know it's unwise to voice them publicly, for they will likely receive an earful in return.
You, sir, are prejudiced against American women to the point of continued verbal slander and defamation towards our character... MY character, as I am an American woman.
I doubt I could make you change your opinion, and you are entitled to your opinion. But I say to you that each time you do this (slam us, that is), you are insulting ME as well as others. I don't take personal insults very kindly.
Have a good day.
