Thank you for your trolling comment Fr0d0.
I thought this forum had rules against trolling.

Yeah, I heard there are good ones out there. However I also heard there are ghosts and demons out there.
Personally, I have never seen either.

You'd be long gone if that were true Dotard. It was a serious point.

No, that was Grade-A flamebaiting.

Yeah, I edited that out since I'm really not the one to be telling anyone what to do regarding relationships.

LQTM, Great quote. Many women I know have a general mistrust and loathing of other women and I've long held that you should be wary of any woman that refuses to befriend other women.

Have you been in a workplace where there are alot of women? Its a war zone, they peck at each other, make conspiracies, form circunstantial groups, etc... I guess the biggest mysogenists are women. Great quote Min
As to mysogenism, well IMO its wrong, you shouldn't paint them all with the same brush, but I see were you are coming from Dotard. I also think you should do something about it, what exactly, I don't know...

Hmmm . . . my knee-jerk reaction is to say "What the fuck? I let guys hold the door for me and I don't hate men at all. They're great with a little nudity and metal music." I'm just kidding, but I do get the urge to say "We're not all the way you see us, myself included." I wasn't around for the feminist movement (which I know endures), my mother was a stay at home mom and I have come to love and respect many men in this lifetime." However, I know that such simple words would never change a person's opinion when it has been being formed for many years. I would never attempt to undertake the task of changing your mind because it seems you are happy in your position.
I expect that you will distrust and dislike me as much as any "real" women. However, I do hope that you can realize that I'm not a man-hating bitch and converse with me as you would a man as much as you can for the purposes of this forum. For the record, if I was at a funeral and I saw a man grieving, my first instinct would be to hug him. My second would be to send over a shitload of meals in tupperware containers after the funeral. I do suffer under the feminine illusion that food is the best way to comfort someone.

Personally, the most other women that I have worked with at one time is one and she was my best friend. I was in a mostly male business before I started writing. Nonetheless, I can picture that very scenario. Perhaps that is why I don't work with women. I do have girl friends, though.

If I was knew you IRL and you sent me a bunch of food after a death in my family I would think it was great! That very thing did happen for a while when my mother was laid up in bed after back surgery; the people of the church we went to made sure we had meals every day. It was like a pot luck at our house every day for a couple months. Woot food!

I love cooking for other people. It kind of makes me feel better, so it's natural for me to cook when something sad happens. It's also helpful for the family. Yep, WOOT food!

Nudity, yes. Metal music, no!

I can't stand sexism. Almost as much as I hate criminals.
I've been with many girls (and not in any kind of relationship wise). They've been great friends and two girls I've known have actually defended me when I was out numbered by a few greatly disliked bullies, one landed one heck of a blow. They are strong, bright and wise. They are as capable of just as much as anyone else. Which is why I find it terribly annoying when a rare few men show such sexism towards them. I'm also not very amused when seeing girls doing the same back. There is no point to be found in sexism, none at all.
I would fight along side girls as I would with men. Probably fight harder along side girls, seeing as I would put more effort into it to make sure they don't get hurt. I can't stand seeing a girl get hurt. Makes me feel terribly quilty.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
