I know people aren't like that, people would rather be right just for the sake of being right,I'm not like that,you can look at my previous posts and you'll see for yourself.
Actually, I can't. I see a young man, diffident and throwing out a loud voice in an effort to convince himself of the rightness of his own views.

Show me one valid reason thump.
You've been shown many valid reasons already, in this thread and in others. If you cannot see their validity, okay -- carry on, wot-wot. Your mentoring is not my responsibility. You can keep your own filters up if you like, and see things only as you wish, as you've been doing here, or you can make an effort to step outside yourself and see things from another point of view. That decision is yours alone ... but make no mistake, if you are public in your denigration of an entire class of people, you will get pushback, and I will be in there.
I will tell you from experience: as I grew older, I learnt the hard way to value the women in my life more, and to not relegate them to the ornamental status which seems to be their place in your life. What you see as adoration is seen by many women as paternalistic condescension. If you really want to learn the views of women, of all sorts, you'd do best to drop your filters and simply listen.
It works for me, and has made me a better man for it.
But hey, it's your life. If you want to ignore the views of women, it's all good. I mean, they're only 51% of humankind. Have your heyday.
