Naw, ya know what?

This is all why I left here in the first place.
RI is the good ol' boys club, no tits allowed (unless we're willing to suck it - or perhaps them! - up). Clearly discussion of any sort that threatens the boys' points of view can't be had, and any attempts to engage in communication beyond what the boys want to hear is going to be met with failure (re: futile frustration); much less attempting to let them know any part of a woman's experience.
Its all our fault you know, original sin, ate the apple, etc. virgin/whore... whatnot.
This is why I burned out and quit with the feminism thing. Its a useless and futile task. You can't teach men anything, just like you can't change the world. The only way around it is to simply not engage with them, and pull your own little world together as best as you can, as individuals.
I'm outta here.
Have fun, boys.

I apologize for adding to this notion you feel. Best of luck in life.

You sound very resigned, Maddy?

I feel disheartened reading about her opinion of mans inability to change.

I second that.
Have your board, guys. To the ladies: you are much more tolerant than I.

Good now we can fuck up the planet even more without all your intervention!

WakeUpandLive, you really need to ShutUpandListen for a while. Take some time to think about it.

What, you already run the world, you got to rub our noses in it when we say we're unhappy about it?

Please don't leave me here alone women!

Well, that's just sad, Maddy. And Canadian_watcher too?
There were primarily three problematic and dense males that extended a misogyny thread to 83 pages, something that could or should have been expected. And now you condemn all of us and leave? Please don't go.
I'm sure I'm not the only male here who appreciates reading your viewpoints, Maddy, or yours, C_w.
Please reconsider!
Don't let yourself get wet today from yesterday's rain.

WakeUpAndLive's account has been suspended by Barracuda for trolling.
Also, I deserve to have my account suspended for being an absentee slumlord. I apologize.
Maddy and Canadian_watcher, please reconsider.

I like that. I think even though it was incredibly painful, things ended alright yesterday but I can see how various events today added insult layer #102 to injury.

Hey, ladies, dont run off! Dont let a few bad apples wreck your experience here. Please. I really like both of you guys, C_W and Maddy both, I really REALLY like the two of you and I would really hate to see you go.
Ive been avoiding the misogyny thread on purpose, for the very reason that I sensed there was a lot of acrimony in there, and previously when I posted in there, I felt that no matter what I said, I was inadvertently hurting people, which is something I hate to do, I mean HATE to do.
My point being that I haven't seen what has been going on in there, but WUAL is gone now, FWIW, and I'm thinking maybe that thread should just get locked, if this is the affect its having.
Let's all just relax and take a deep breath and get back to being friends, can we?
Hell, I fight with my wife sometimes, but we're still married. Still love each other.

Waugs why don't you just back off? Doesn't this fit into the validation thread? They're angry for a reason, let em be angry. They're good people.
