There's something bugging me, been bugging for a long time actually...
Used to be, in the past, i find that i always feel kinda offended whenever i read/hear a man/guy/male being insulted or yabbed or taunted or whatever, by a woman.I feel like i'm the one those things are being said to. Anybody else ever feel like that?

Just so u understand what i mean, this feeling of emotional hurt is totally independent of WHY the guy is getting his bacon toasted - it doesn't matter what he wrote or said AT ALL! As long as its a guy getting thrashd by a gurl, mehnn, my incredible hulk starts growling. Even if i eventually realise the guy was wrong, i still remember it and ACTIVELY look for the first opportunity to get ''revenge''.
I actually feel that way, but to a much lesser degree, when its a guy thrash-talking a woman. I generally stay away from woman-woman exchanges; they're just too messy.

So... There i said it. I'm not really that way anymore; it still hurts, but i just try and forget it. Generally i just walk away from online exchanges now - not worth the bandwidth. Other times i just throw in a sharp rejoinder and say 'Shalom'

Sooooo... Anyone else feel this way about things? A psychologist, maybe, can u tell me why i feel this way? Replies, replies...

Lol

Where have u been? Is this another sign of boredom?

Well, to ur post, I guess it's a mindset thing.
The mindset that says women are always wrong no matter the circumstance.

The mindset that says a woman should never talk back to a man.

The mindset that says women should be quiet when men are talking and so on. A very wrong mindset I must tell u.

Now that u are more enlightened, your mindset is changing and u are beginning to see such actions less offensive.

men generally are more protective of themselves (or their interests), than women are of fellow females.

@Tg, hellooo
No, i'm not bored. Just felt like posting again.
I'm more ''enlightened'' now, u say? Mmm. Mmmmmmh. Ok, i shall ponder upon it later at leisure. Mmm.

@tpia, i'm a little flattered that you find time to comment on my thread. I'm trying to remember what i used to dislike about u...
''Men are generally more protective of themselves...''; really? I actually think it's women who are like that. You got any facts to back this up?

^you're one of the people i hate most on this forum, however, that doesnt mean i have to cuss you out anytime i post on a thread opened by you.

tpia... i wasn't cussing u out, i meant what i said. I am flattered. That part about what i used to dislike was just a tease. I'm sorry u misunderstood. And I was really interested in why u thought men band together more than woman; i assumed u'd read a journal or survey or something... U always used to have a link or two to back up your views.

So... Will u tell me why u think so now?

no biggie, just explaining my commenting on a post doesnt mean i like whoever started the thread, or the folks posting there.

people seem to assume such, dont know why. I guess for some, they only post if they like the postees or whatever.


on the banding thing- its just what i noticed, i'm sure there might be written research somewhere if i look for it.

Isn't dat a strong word to use? Well, may be u don't mean 'hate' in d real sense of the word.

I believe no one is unlovable.
