You don't know me, but I have said some misogynic things in a few of my previous posts. I was wrong. Not all women are evil. Not all of them only care about money and nothing else. Ladies and gentlemen, a breakthrough has occured. What caused this way of thinking is (and you can always leave if this bores the &*(^( out of you) Well, I love my mom, but she was a control freak growing up - and she was always right. It wasn't a matter of arguing with her; she was just too smart; she knew exactly what was going to happen in every circumstance. Now the big one - I was sexually abused by my 14 year old babysitter at the age of 9. So, from then on, I began to hate women I guess. It was a sub-conscience apparition that revealed itself a year ago in a flashback. I seem to have stopped growing in that direction of dating and love after 14. Then the stories from all of my acquaintances about how "she cheated, or used them", and what else they could think of - that didn't help either.

I don't mean to sound like a drama king, or to ask for pity. I ask for neither. I only want to apologize to the women out there. Because of my misplaced anger, they do not deserve my rants. I am sorry. I really am in real life a nice guy, unfortunately misguided. I only hope that you all accept my apology.

Thanks for saying that. I hate you went through all the stuff that you did. I hope everything is okay now.

It's alright. Us women know we aren't all evil, but we also know that because of a few select specimins, the b***h term is well deserved.

And it really does suck having to grow up in an enviroment like that. Just stay strong. Someone will love you even with all the scars.

Dude, thanks.

Many men are asses in the described way with far less worthy excuses. :)


Although, come to think of it, I don't really see the connection between the early experiences and the outlook, but I'm Extremely glad to hear about the breakthrough anyway.

It's very hard to interact with people for whom you know you'll never be seen as a human being, and nice to know that sometimes that viewpoint changes. Thanks for troubling to share.

I haven't noticed you saying anything misogynistic.

^ I haven't either

But it's nice that you took the initiative to apologize. If you have crossed someone, then I'm sure they will appreciate this. :)

It takes much for one to look within; even more to recognize what one sees... but it takes a big person to admit their mistakes. Hats off.

Everybody is guilty of going on a rant once in a while, it takes a big person to come out and apologize.

I've had to do that a few times myself.

Oftentimes, I apologize, only to find out it wasn't really necessary.

Same with bastard *nods*

As long as you change your ways, I'll forgive you (even though I didn't read what you said)
