I take it, I hurt your feelings with the truth?
I warned on the first page of this thread, that you would not be able to handle the truth and get your feelings hurt.
There's a difference between "not being able to handle" and "disagreeing with"
There's a also a difference between "a truth" and "an opinion"
It may very well be the truth that your opinion is that women have no value outside of sex. That does not make it a truth.
Who knew that there were so many little boys on CD who are scared of women?
From statistics and the fear of being labelled, it is only getting worse. the drastic rise in Single Motherhood, is the perfect example. Lonely women so miserable today, they must bring others into their misery to hate men. It is not going to get better until the gender roles are corrected.
The irony of women is that they dress to attract. High heels to show their shaven legs off, low cut blouse to show cleavage, perfume, and five pounds of warpaint, etc,, for the purpose of....demonstrating their abilities, level of education, etc...I think not.
Men are attracted to women because of sex. Without the reward of sexual pleasure with women men would rather go fishing, hunting, or sit around drinking beer and talking about sports.
If women truly want to be looked at in a neutral manner then I suggest they start wearing Burqa's, dress like a nun, stop shaving their bodies, lose the warpaint.
"My eyes are up here."
"I'm not looking at your eyes."
You haven't noticed people disagreeing with your statements, as taken generally, throughout the thread?
I'm sure you have.
Which label is that?
No, not really. You would be wrong. Just a bunch of name calling and labeling.
I have heard statements to be short and say I'm wrong, but not explain how I may be wrong. There is a difference in facts and emotional response.
Just like my friends who have read this board observed; when people spent hours posting so vociferously to defend a child molester you can't help but wonder if they have child porn on their own computer. Myself and many posters here said it too.
In this case, posters who are constantly starting threads and posting to slam women and even saying or implying they "have no worth".....you have to wonder if they are posting from a prison cell or are on home confinement for some crime. People who commit crimes against society frequently dismiss their victims as being subhuman or having no worth.
This board get's "weird" to say the least. It's the elephant in the room to a casual observer.
However I do agree that both men and women can be "evil."
I think the article and many posters may be confusing regular relationships an courting habits with sexual harrassment in the workplace.
Both men and women should not be having sexual relationships or making flirtatious passes with their colleagues at work. Period.
In regards to attraction and the why women dress up - as a woman, I'll note that I don't dress to attract men. I never have. I dress the way I want to look good for myself or to look professional and decent at work. If I'm going to the club and want to let loose, I'll dress in a "loose" way for me to have fun. If I'm going to a sporting event, I'll dress with support of my team, etc.
I think too often men believe that women are dressing for their attention, when not all women do this. I do admit that some do and honestly I look down on those sorts of women. A man's attention is not all that great most of the time to me and maybe because I'm married or something. But IMO men don't need a woman to dress a certain way for them to hit on them. I've been hit on while I felt I look like a bum. Guys never seem to care lol. To this day I get men trying to flirt with and date men in various places - stores, the gym (which is why I stay in the ladies area most of the time), libraries, taking a walk at the park, etc. I'm not trying to attract them. People are just naturally attracted to each other. But at work, it needs to not be around.
I'm disheartened by all the stories in the media of sexual harrassment. Especially in the case of Charlie Rose and today I saw about Tavis Smiley and all the other men so accused of late. To me it is ridiculous that these men were trying to date or having sex or walking around naked in front of co-workers. That goes way beyond attraction to disgusting, unprofessional behavior.
That said, I also think all the firings are getting out of hand. I wonder what sort of policies these workplaces have for sexual harassment. Usually people aren't fired for first offenses/reports and I do think that these men should have been given the opportunity to stop the behavior. From what I remember of Charlie Rose in particular, the last incident I thought they said it happened in 2011. If that was the case then IMO he should not have been fired, maybe suspended and put on notice but termination is usually the 2nd or 3rd step (unless something very serious occurred, and please note, I do think his incidents were serious but IMO they were so long ago and if he had not done anything since then, I would have just put him on notice about any future reports would end in termination).
Who knew that there were so many little boys on CD who are scared of women?
We're not. We are worried that if we show any attention to some women we'll be falsely accused of harassment.
Being falsely accused is as good as being convicted in today's world. The college world adopted this attitude a few years back prodded on by the Obama administration.
