Also, P.S. I, as a girl, when I was little was told to "grow up and get over it" also... but did I develop the sort of mind that should even think it's terrible to cry? No. I distinctly remember crying a few times in school, kindergarten and the like, for getting hurt or bullied and numerous teachers, other children, and my own parents telling me to stop being a baby about it, or to not cry. But, do I feel like it's a shame to cry ? No. I developed my OWN mind. I feel no sympathy either, towards the girls/women who act a certain way, and ultimately get treated a certain way. I DO feel sympathy towards PEOPLE who are putting a serious effort into everyday life, to make something of themselves, and either money, the government, jobs, etc. is a barrier. If your upbringing, and the media is your only barrier...or "fear"...I feel no sympathy. When I cry, still, I am told not to. By my boyfriend, by my parents, and others ... But I don't let it stop me. If I have to cry, I cry... and I don't give a shit WHAT people think.
\ And I think that's wrong too... when women go off about all men "sucking" You know? I try to be fair with it, but apparently you can't see that.
RE: and my own parents telling me to stop being a baby about it, or to not cry. But, do I feel like it's a shame to cry ? No. I developed my OWN mind. Well, there's a genetic component as well.
Don't get too worked up about him... He's proving himself quite well to be a troll... They get their kicks posting crap and hoping to get someone all worked up... You won't win with him -- he's convinced all women are evil and out to get him... That same victim mentality that he accuses women of having.
Dawn_sky: not so. A troll is someone who simply disagrees with you. All I'm giving is an alternate viewpoint. I'm not denying what a+o is saying. She's right on all counts.
Pay attention to what's being said. NOBODY is saying that folks who are for gender equality are bad. NOBODY is saying that men or women are evil. The OP was complaining about the professional victim class who wants a reverse sexism.
Yup, that's my motto. And sometimes EVERYONE can be an asshole. Right now I'm being a total asshole... It's the A.M. and I have my period, I just want to kick things... *kicks garbage can*
there are men who hate women, women who hate men, women who hate men call themselves feminists, men who hate women call themselves pimps, in some parts of society either is revered..... <not all inclusive labels, just common ones for either category> people are idiots, always have been, always will be, just look for the people who don't suck.....
RE: I mean misogynists........ A misogynist is a man who hates women. A woman who hates a man is called a misandrist, a homothrope, or more accurately, a feminist. Kidding about the last part. Feminists don't hate men. They think every girl should own at least one.
