I don't get it
I skip over a lot of posts for a lot of reasons, although gender is not one of them for me.
I finally found the ignore code and many of them get blanked out now - really? shouldn't people just not be cruel?
I know - I know, I have been told I am an idealist
I've never taken offence to anything you have said.

^this right here.
I'm already regarded as enough of a curiosity/freak and sexual challenge (a la Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines") in person; I don't need it online, too.
Although I'm new here, I'm not new to the Internet. On other forums I just don't read or respond to threads that start with phrasing which makes me feel like I've been brought in for token representation. I don't need that in my life.

Perhaps I shouldn't say anything, being an NT on an Aspie board but:
I'm sure getting tired of The Men Folk hijacking threads & telling us Wimmin' Folk what we are like etc. It's not just "Do Wimmin Like...?" although AO has said some pretty nasty things lately about wimmin & NT ones in particular.
The Game Playing thread on here.. 140lb (of B.S.?) fills most of a page with his " theories". Then he adds to it by using the word "b*tch in nearly every paragraph. (Oh.. Congrats to ME! I'm not Intentionally being a B*tch!, or he tells me I'm not.. Nice to know I'm just an unintentional B*tch. How does he know? He just DOES! (see wimmin really Are sarcastic. )
I was on late last night & he said something about not being a man hating .(something something)........ Lezbo. When I checked again this morning he had switched the Lezbo word to 'B*tch. ' Excuse me! If he's gonna use the "L" word, he could at least use it properly. "Lesbian". I'm pretty sure he would try that with childish euphemisms for Gay men, or transgender people. No, he felt entitled to do some name calling on a Women's forum.
I find his posts, 'Like, you know, like..so... Gay! ( If he's gonna act like a 10 year old boy, so can I.)
There was no Romantic Love until fairly recently. Wimmen didn't choose their partners, & neither did men. In most societies the parents chose for them. (Even pretty recently in N. America, esp. in the upper classes.)
So all his theories on Neolithic Love are just made up. Nobody knows what happened then & what the social morays were for mating. There is no oral or written history from that period for us to check out.
So just make $#!+ up??
I'm sorry, but I'm DONE with this stuff. If men have something useful to contribute to the Women's Discussion, fine, but if it's just more negging & veiled put downs, do any of us need to read this on a "Women's" forum?

I have always appreciated your input
and thank you for the rest - I agree (though there are areas I specifically stay out of to avoid too much exposure so I have not seen all that you have)

I understand your sentiment, but in defense of my lesbian and gay friends I must make a few points: first, not wanting to have sex with men does not mean that you hate them or do not like them. None of the lesbians I know "hate" men, or even dislike them as a category.
Second, there's nothing wrong with being gay, so using it as an insult is kind of weak. That's kind of like saying, 'she fights like a woman,' or 'she throws like a girl,' as an insult; it's only bad if you think that girls and women can't really fight or throw.

exactly - even though I am lesbian and a RadFem (I know this sounds cliche) but I actually have friends who are men - I just don't like being around one that pressures me for sex.

You are making the exact point that i was trying to make. For him (140lb) to make the assumption that "All/Most Lesbians man haters" is ridiculous! I was also trying to defend my Lesbian & Gay friends.
Here's the direct quote from 140 lb. input on the 'Game Playing" thread:
- " I wrote my post from "my viewpoint of what really happens" in some courting situations as a lead-in to how annoying self centered god's-gift-to-women, guy dumb-f*cks that seem to naturally assume that any woman that doesn't chase them to bed is a game playing lezbo."
Insulting may be in the eye of the beholder, but I find the term 'Lezbo" as demeaning as hell, @ least in this context & probably in any context from a straight person. Even if he has negged the
" god's gift to women guy", I'm still finding it pretty childish, & insulting. Is he trying to say that that's the way an arrogant man would see it, or is he saying that it is also his take..?

@Aspie Otaku Thanks for the apology AO.
The posts I was referring to with all the "b*tch" references etc. were not made by you. Please read what I posted again. Thanks.
