myspace group for female aspies

Post Reply New Topic

hmm well i dunno... maybe it's this stupid country i'm living in right now... everywhere you go there's women-only this, women-only that, ladies only, etc etc etc.... it's sickening and degrading... as if guys are 3rd class people... and are women upset over this? hell no... and for a guy to even speak up about this injustice is seen as "unmanly" etc... BS i say...!

anyways, hopefully i'll be off to australia before very long... it'll be nice to live in a normal country for a change...!

For centuries there were "men-only" clubs and events, and women were second-class citizens. We could not vote, if we got a job we were considered to be lousy wives and mothers... and it was generally accepted and tolerated. Women were treated like property, like slaves. If we were to do that to you men, you'd probably all commit suicide. It's amazing what women have tolerated.

As for hitting a LADY, a LADY would not hit you in the first place. If a WOMAN hits you like a man, then she should be able to handle the consequences. If a woman hits you "like a girl" then if you're any kind of real man you'd grab her hands or do something to immobilize her instead of hitting her back.

Women have constant hormonal changes that can make us hysterical at times, add to that the Aspie meltdown and you're a total loser if you would hit someone in that condition. Tell me: if an obviously pregnant woman hit you: would you STILL hit her back?

There are also some women who are so shy and insecure that they would never speak up in a forum such as this one where they might be misinterpreted or otherwise derided. I'm sure the same goes for men, but for God's sake: no one said the MEN can't have an exclusive group of THEIR own also.

Maybe it's because I'm over 40... or maybe it is because I have five children, one of whom is an adult... but when people are childish I feel it's important to call them on it and point it out because they may not realize how silly they sound - especially Aspies who tend to be on the "young" side emotionally. Don't be such big babies!

I was not meaning to directly call you childish. It is the act of protesting something that is not harming you, and that you would probably find to be boring if you WERE admitted that I find to be childish. It's the behavior. Sorry for not making that distinction in my wording.

It's not just women who stand in your way: due to such things as affirmative action, the white male is last in line now for EVERYTHING. Behind all other races, women, those with disabilities... etc.

I don't find that to be right and proper at all. I think it's overcompensation. We should all be treated equally and when it comes to jobs our experience and abilities should be considered without respect to gender, race or any other criteria. Unfortunately, ever since FDR we have been inundated with people who believe they have some sort of RIGHT to things which are really not valid. I don't believe in any kind of entitlement. But that's another topic for another thread...

When we had REAL slavery, I wonder how many slaves (male AND female) ended their own lifes rather than suffer that indignity.

A lot of slaves committed suicide. Has anyone ever seen Amistad? And there is a statistic I read... can't remember the exact numbers, but of the slaves that started the journey only a small percentage actually made it to the Americas, they died by suicide and other violent causes.

I still don't see what is offensive about a women's only group? What am I missing here?

Do you think men and women should not have separate restrooms, either?

Back on topic,

Thumbs up to the hotness of Hale_Bopp!

Yes I was being literal, I thought it was a comment on hale-bops appearance. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

I don't see it as sexist at all; I think this is a very good idea. ^__^

Disgruntled guys, look on the bright side: it's a way to see all the Aspie women without the men standing about in the way.
