    I just find the notion of "man's work" and "woman's work" abhorrent. Not because I don't think men and women have different skills that are more appropriate to certain jobs; more because these notions are being deduced by argonmatrix from a (false) idea that both sides have always had the capacity to choose.

    Who will take up the cause? Who will help women reassert their right to know their place? Who will step up?

    (EDIT: but please don't let this deter you from answering the other half of my post. I'm interested to hear your response to my points.)

    I would have loved to. But unfortunately, my account was banned.

    I was warned that what I was doing was "borderline trolling". I asked what that meant, so I could avoid doing it any more, but I was not answered.

    I guess that these aren't free speech forums after all. Too bad.

    Tell me, what are these guidelines I must adhere to to be allowed to post here? I read the rules, and as far as I know, I didn't break any. Please let me know if I did.

    But as of right now, it appears I was silenced because my "free speech" did not further the true agenda behind this site. That isn't free speech at all.

    Seriously though, please let me know exactly what I did wrong, so I can avoid ever doing it in the future.

    Still nothing?

    Like I said, please tell me how I violated the terms and conditions of this website, and what exactly I did to be banned, and you have my word I shall adhere to them. I am not in charge here, and like any other user, I must abide by the rules. I am willing to do so, but I need to have them more clearly defined, because I obviously broke them in some way to have my account deleted.

    Actually, I didn't see you violate the rules (which seem to be...selectively enforced in the first place).

    I just saw you act like a mouth-breathing trogdolyte.

    I didn't read all 60 pages of this thread, but I think the outcome is sad. I feel like a real issue has been addressed, and then abandoned after being polluted with spiteful words like "feminazi." Do yourself a favor, and put that one next to the N-word on your list of things you just shouldn't say. It makes you sound hateful, angry and ignorant. There are much more eloquent ways of making your point that are far less offensive. I'm only going to make this one post, and unless I've been addressed with a civil question, I'd be glad to watch this thread perish into the depths of the archives - if not locked.
    It's too bad that now I can't feel open enough to share in this thread some of the misunderstandings about my own Christian values, because I'm now afraid of being categorized as a self-righteous pig. So instead I'll simply say this: Women are a gift from heaven, and should be treated like angels. Even the ones that burned off their wings long ago.

    You're probably right. I'll try to keep that in mind.

    Listen, I'm not above admitting that sometimes i shoot my mouth off. I'm only human, and I get easily fired up about subjects I'm passionate about. That said, I probably went about this in the wrong way.

    But what really irks me is the fact that I was shut down for no apparent reason on a forum which touts the fact that it is a free speech forum right on the front page. That really gets to me. I mean, my opinions might not be popular, but when we start silencing that which is unpopular, freedom of speech ceases to exist.

    I am perfectly willing to abide by all the rules here in order to have my voice heard. But I need to know what I did wrong if I am to avoid it in the future.


    ***It's too bad that now I can't feel open enough to share in this thread some of the misunderstandings about my own Christian values, because I'm now afraid of being categorized as a self-righteous pig.***

    I feel the same way. Perhaps not to the extent you do, but I certainly sympathize. It seems that people with strong convictions are viciously attacked these days unless they either keep quiet, or change.

    ***So instead I'll simply say this: Women are a gift from heaven, and should be treated like angels. Even the ones that burned off their wings long ago.***

    I'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I can treat people perfectly civilly even after an argument on a point where we completely disagree. But when people want to directly attack me instead of converse with me, I all to frequently respond in kind.

    Far to often, instead of matching me point for point, people will just write me off as a bigot, a lunatic, or a hate monger. That's akin to putting your hands over your ears and shouting. I assure all of you I am a well educated man. Simply because my opinions greatly differ from your own bears no relevance to my learning. Call me ignorant if you like, but you will hear no such insults coming from me.

    "Educated" is not the same as "civilized".

    Just saying.

    Again, I posted a perfectly civil response, asking what I have done wrong. And again, I am silenced and banned.

    I have read the forum rules, and I am trying to abide by them. Please, tell me what is banning me.

    Understand that I am going to be posting here regardless. It will be under a different name eventually. And I would like to be part of this community. So please, tell me what I did wrong so I can avoid any future accounts being deleted.

    Either that, or simply tell me that you banned me because you didn't like what I had to say.

    If the latter, then please remove all indications of this being a free speech site.

    Pretty brutal when it comes down to it. Regardless of if the guy was an ass, whatever happened to freedom of speech?

    Whoa whoa here, did my post get deleted, or did I forget to hit the enter key or something? I guess I'll post it again. What I said was, regardless of if the guy was an ass, the outcome was brutal, especially on a "free speech" forum.

    You know the great thing about all this? The fact that you don't have the power over me you wish you did. Nor do you understand the fervent devotion to my cause, or even what my cause truly is. You can never know how many user names I already have here, nor how long they have been here, nor what specific purpose they serve my ends. Nor can you avoid the fact that I can access this page whenever I want, posing as anyone I wish.

    If you truly understood the concept of war, you would understand what it means to feint, within feint. What it means to guide the direction of those around you, but giving them the freedom to believe they are in fact the ones controlling themselves.

    Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. And ignorance is truly bliss.

    But wisdom holds true in all it's forms.

    You strike at the tail of the serpent, mistaking it for the head. Best of luck to you.
