I think X_Rebel is taking his time to reply now ....
Can't make up his mind whether to go for
- 50-50 (in case none of choices left fit his theory) - ask the audience (he's slowly realising that none of the audience agrees with him - male and female) - phone a friend (frantically going through his phonebook trying to find someone who'll give him answers he wants to hear)
OR
He's thinking that his bird in his hand is better than one in the bush and has left this dating site!!!!
Unfortunately my hands have never had the pleasure of shaking those of Phoenix, Soli or Kidda ... If they were clay in my hands the resulting pieces of art would be a masterpiece in honour of who they are as people!!
As for you, X_Rebel ... Amazingly people with very little thought of their own, often end up trying to insult or belittle those who don't agree with them because their only capacity is to recite something they've heard somewhere but they are incapable of thinking of their own arguments in response to what is being said to them. No wonder your idea of a perfectt world would be for all males to be blindly following their King's orders of what kingdom to invade next. Would save you having to do any thinking!!
If the above paragraph is too long for you to read in one go, let me know and I'll break it down for you
Too much to read? What's the matter? Afraid you might read something to disprove your theory? Or are you too busy doning your shining armour to go and fight for your kings kingdom?
Soooooooooooo ... when a woman suggests something, because you have a brain, you find out what it's about. Positive or negative outcome? Then you have 5 options:
1. Positive outcome ... You like the sound of this ... a) You agree to be a part of it ... Because only good can come out of it ... b) You don't agree to be a part of it ... because you're too bloody proud and you're mift you didn't think of it yourself ...
2. Negative outcome ... You don't like the sound of it ... a) You agree to be part of it anyway ... Life is about taking risks and getting the adrenaline flowing ... You can always blame her when it goes wrong ... b) You don't agree to be part of it ... It will go wrong and you don't fancy the hassle ...
3. Who cares if it's positive or negative. It's bound to lead to trouble. History has shown you that women are trouble. You decide there and then to turn gay and only share your life with your buddies the men ...
4. Same as 3 but you can't be doing with that gay lark so you decide to live you life amongst you buddies the men and be celibate ...
5. Who cares if it's positive or negative. It's bound to lead to trouble. History has shown you that women are trouble. You decide there and then to live the rest of you life in a monastery ...
to many feminists women who recognise you for what you are are on this site ...
which probably also means too many woman who've been there, wore the t.shirt - though they didn't like it - and finally mustered the courage to through it out in the garbage!!!
Abusers always blame the other person (or anyone else) for their actions!!
It depends which century you add the "more power" to ...
A woman should have the power to make decisions and purchases etc about the things that pertain to herself, and the power to be equal to their partner when it pertains to the household and family.
I've been reading all the posts even though I haven't contributed. When I read your post about Jibiz's brother I was shocked by your comments.
You are still judging that couple's choice of how they live and love one another by complementing one another's skills and personalitites and acheiving a balance between them that works for them both.
You are judging them according to your own experiences which were based on "control" and which by your own admission failed to provide a loving environment. The 2 are not related ... your experience is about control (one over the other) , theirs is about loving acceptance of strenghts and weaknesses side by side, they each do what they are good at without letting their pride dictate who should do what.
May be examining your feelings about what makes you so adement that their relationship is doomed to failure ... You think the scenario is the same as many others ... but is it?
You were talking about men being subjugated by women in your OP, that would be about power and control ... Jibiz was talking about balance achieved between 2 people. No similarities there. It's not about "what it could look like from the outside". It's about what the relationship is founded on
Yeah!! All great here. My son (20 yrs old) came to stay for 10 days and had a fabulous time. Him and Gman get on like a house on fire!!! Which means we all enjoyed doing stuff together!!
Because they can never be counted on financially and the reason they are STILL financially irresponsible at their age is because they have always had SOMEONE in their life who had bailed them out ... Guess what? Your next!!!
... about 4 years oldish ... comes to me to show me a shape she had drawn in red felt "Mummy ... what's this shape called? "Darling ... that's called a rectangle!! Well done!!
A few moments later ... she returns with another shape she's drawn in blue felt "Mummy ... what about this one, what is it called? "Ah! That's another rectangle!!! "Don't be silly Mummy!! That's a bluetangle!!!
RE: Woman leading men to their downfall???
Nah!!! Cheers!!! Just made myself a real cuppa, like what they make in England!!!
