My comment about women getting pregnant in order to avoid a draft was simply thinking of a WARTIME draft. If 2 years of military service were a requirement for ALL Americans before the age of 25, I doubt that intentional 'accidenta'l pregnancy would be an issue, since you'd just be postponing it.
And a co-ed service requirement would be equal as hell.

The act of 'chivalry' is what defines a man between a gentleman.
Your mannerisms, your demenour, how you respect yourself, how you treat people, it goes along way. I don't think concepts like these are "old-fashioned."

DaBudha,
equality != indentical You're right, equality means equality: e·qual·i·ty 1. the state or quality of being equal; correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank, or ability. Equality has zero to do with roles, gender-based traits or any kind of behavior at all. Women seek equal rights. Women seek to be equally valued for equal abilities and hold equal status for equal performance. How does this translate into, "I want you to treat me exactly like you treat a man?" I think I know all too well the kind of woman you're talking about. Spoiled, self-centered primadonnas who think the world should bend over backwards to please them. And their man should not only bend over, but do back-flips. And their only job is to look pretty. They don't say much interesting unless you care where they got their hair did or what shade their nails are today. I can't handle 'em and I'm a woman. I avoid them like a plague. They're called narcissists. Sounds like you've been dating this personality type. Stop. Find someone like Stinky. And stop generalizing your personal experience to a whole gender. This is why people are calling you sexist and whatever other words it was you objected to. It's bigotry. Quote:
In general; if a significant amount of people are treating you in the same negative manner, you're doing yourself a disservice by refusing to look at what you might be doing to contribute. We typically do reap what we sow. Playing the victim doesn't get anyone anywhere, even when they are truly a victim. And it sounds to me like you're a victim of your own closed mind here. You're not being logical about this stuff. You're focused on arguing your point and aren't considering opposing viewpoints. You refuse to swap moccasins. That's why your mind is boggled. If I was one of those who insulted you, know that wasn't my intention. Just the truth as I see it. Seriously, you did not come across at all intelligently in your original post. I skimmed most of the rest of the thread after that. I've reread some a bit more attentively. It appears you did tweak your persentation style. You do not appear to be stupid. You do appear to be ignorant. ig·no·rant 1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man. 2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics. 3. uninformed; unaware. 4. due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement. I too am a different person on the internet. This is because I have edit and logoff. I can step away until I can be less emotional and more respectful if I feel offended. In fact, there is one person I'm forced to keep in my life that I refused to communicate with outside writing. Eliminated the heated arguments. So if you seriously were looking for a civilized debate rather than a fight, your original post boggles my mind. If you're looking for agreement, I doubt you'll sway most of these folks. I'd like to see someone with the guts to come in agree with you though. I'm quite sure your belief is not unique. You really stacked the odds against yourself posting in a Women's Issues category on a cannabis forum. Focus thy rebellious courage. Use it for good. Start a "'The War on Drugs" is dead and the DEA killed it!' or "'Reefer Madness is dead and Science killed it!" crusade. Srsly. Armed with a bit of study of debate and some good research studies, you could become a hard-core advocate. Hit the books!

I will not, now or ever, take back what I've said. I brought up a sensitive topic, and I have an opinion that most people don't like. However, I never ONCE blamed ANYONE for ANYTHING. I'm merely giving my viewpoint on a topic. If people choose to think me ignorant because they REALLY don't like what I say, that's just fine. I won't try to change someone's opinion and there isn't a single person here who has given me an example of what I'm blaming people for. Yes, I'm an asshole. I guess that's just too bad, but my point stands.
P.S. I've gotten 3 positive reps for this thread and not one negative. What does THAT say? P.P.S. Make that 4 positive reps.

It says you got some reps from people who either liked the discussion itself or were themselves as misogynistic as you are. You got twice as many negative comments in response here on the thread itself and got those from people of both genders, so the negative reaction you received still far outweighs the positive. The ones who liked it and agreed with it weren't brave enough to post that up front, and they were probably wise not to do so.
I just reread your original thread and again marveled at the offensiveness of the "swift punch in the jaw" comment. You cannot see that because it came from an attitude in your head, but you also don't get the concept of chivalry as courtesy, clearly. One thing's for sure, those men who don't see the value of chivalry are never going to fall into the category that women regard as sexy. Not because of some fantasy of knighthood. That's silliness that people on the outside looking in read into that term. Intelligent women can take care of themselves. It's sexy because the courtesy/chivalry that shows on the surface translates to someone who, in intimate situations, goes out of his way to, well, satisfy. That's why it's sexy to see a man who is courteous/chivalrous and an immediate turnoff when he's not. I'm pretty sure that's also why you're not meeting women! They're looking past you at the ones who aim to please. |

Pos reps and no negs? It's probably either because no one wants to agree with you in public, or they just like the discussion... I mean, hell, if it matters so much, I'll give you a neg based on the punch in the jaw comment... but I'd rather jsut TELL you that it was really fucking rude.

I personally don't give a hoot about rep and rarely give it. Some of it is to folks I totally disagree with if it's a good post(open-minded, respectful, well constructed, rational or insightful regarding the issue, helpful or hilarious to me personally. I don't give people negative rep at all. In the case of seeing something truly f***ed up, I report. I'm not sure why you expect folks to open their minds to your points when you refuse to even read theirs objectively(or all all it appears in some cases.) Again, I challenge those who agree with you (via rep) to have the guts to actually join the discussion. Might make it a bit more balanced. |

Personally, I don't give bad rep to ignorant people. ( See mmjnoobs above post for definition of igrorance). You obviously don't know any better.

Chivalry will never be dead if at least one person believes in it and has the honor and fortitude to follow his heart. I, for one, worship women.. it may not seem like the most intelligent quality, but it is genuine and its not going anywhere anytime soon. If I hold a door open for a woman and she were to give me a disgusted look or blatantly refuse my polite gesture, I would give her a hurt smile and continue through the door, holding it open behind me. I feel it necessary to point out that I hold the door open for anybody that is near me, and have never been turned down. Maybe its the way the act is carried out?
I have also given much thought to women in the military during my lifetime, as I always thought I would spend most of my life at war. If I was in a hostile wartime environment, I imagine I would be more than delighted to have any female presence I could interact with. However I could very well see myself compromising my own life to protect hers, be it rational or not. I dont honestly know, though, and it doesnt look like I will end up going to war at this point. I would be delighted if the situation didnt have to exist in the first place. I love women and I refuse to stop spoiling them
