There iare age/gender related sections on WP
Women
adolescents

LGBT

Perhaps you want to reflect why these are necessary?

I don't think the women's section is necessary.

All people experience loneliness. There's no need to make that about gender. Suggesting that male loneliness should deserve special treatment in L&D is absurd. Also, people are free to talk about their experiences with trauma in whichever board they want to. It's not just a women's issue. It affects everyone.

I don't see you as a white knight.
I see you as a good man who is loyal to his friends and will protect them.
Skunks can be that way too. 8)


Thanks, but you only know the persona I allow to be visible on the open forum, such is the case with all here.

Good man is a stretch :lol:

I only know one person on this forum who has the qualities of a true white knight, although admittedly I haven't spoken to everyone at length. That one person does not befriend people to pump up their ego but rather to give genuine support in constructive ways.

Just a reminder that women can be 'white knights' too because the term is gender-neutral.


I believe they were also the first member I had PM conversations with.

And then you feel guilty, and defective for not being able to do this. :oops:

Uh no, but thanks for the speculation. I left WP on my own which had nothing to do with Sly and nothing to do with being "hounded out". I left because of a misogynist who was harassing me but I didn't discuss that on the forum or to you, because PRIVACY. You started a thread about me leaving without knowing why I left, and other people filled that thread with gossip and speculation about the reason. At no point was I forced to go to AF or any other place, but thanks for your concern. Also it had nothing to do with the fact I was supporting a certain member through a PTSD crisis which had nothing at all to do with American politics, but I didn't say that either because PRIVACY.

Get a grip and please stop with spreading misinformation which isn't true.

It's not exactly a safe space imo it may give the illusion of this but it is so no different from anywhere else (It may even make it easier for toxic people to choose a mark)

Having said that, I have no problem with it existing if it actually helps Women.

For many years I thought we were friends.
I didn't realise until recently I was a burden to you.

I asked you if we should downgrade our friendship to "acquaintance" status months ago, and you said no.
Why was that?

To be klear.
We are NOT friends now.
We are "Acquaintances".

All good now?

Yeah, and then people write crap like what Pepe just said, telling me that I've been hounded out and I'm a gossip when in reality I don't want anything to do with other people's problems. Pepe asked me to befriend his partner and I said no, because I was overextended. Pepe's partner asked me to support her and I said the same, although I did say I would help her on the forum as needed. Her previous partner accused me of supporting her when I wasn't. I reiterated to Pepe in February that I don't want anything to do with gossip. Now other people think I'm supporting or gossiping to all of them, or even to others, and apparently I'm taking sides LMAOOOO when in reality I've had all sorts of people writing to me for information which I'm not giving, because again that's not my style and I repeat I don't want anything to do with this -- except to help other women on the forum.

It's not easy being a decent person is it?

It could be a good place to talk about female reproductive health, but it's attracted the notice of predatory types at different times for sure.

That's a great idea.

There is a certain thing about a bulb when it's overpowering and then its light becomes dimmed down to the normalcy and equality. Such is with extremist views and entitlements. It's not that the beast is helpless. The beast is not willful to give up its power when it has been oppressing for so long. It doesn't dream of equality. :idea:

I can be someone's friend without them being a white knight for me, or having them tell the forum I was ousted out in some sort of conspiracy or as the result of bad behaviour. I've never had so much as a warning so I don't appreciate all the trash-talk you've been posting lately, accusing me of being in cliques or girl-gangs or having a vendetta against anyone. I'm not 12 years old. We were friends at one point to the extent we talked about our dogs etc., but other people were given the impression quite erroneously that we were best friends or something? Sorry dude. No offence but we were never best friends so I don't know why people were given that impression when it only made them upset.

As for white knights, you told me you like to white knight people and I know you've white-knighted several. That's between you and them, and none of my business. You suggested you wanted to white knight me, and you even offered me money from your life insurance if I would tell your lawyer my name and address. I believe you offered the same to other women at that time. Uh. Sorry. That's a red flag unto itself, but I only mention to illustrate the point you seem to think our friendship was on a much deeper or more supportive level than it was.

I'm not ashamed to say and I've said many times that I could be "friends" with someone but it doesn't mean I'm their therapist, and they certainly aren't mine, because that goes above and beyond the scope of WP especially when I'm juggling so much in my private life and we all have complicated developmental diagnoses. In the past few weeks you've attacked me and my "friends" with odd allegations which aren't true, so it's best to say that "acquaintance" will suffice from now on.

Misrepresentation.
I NEVER suggested YOU did anything wrong.
I was 1,000% on your and slyfox's side.
I was prepared to get banned for you two.
