Firstly, great thread Mena - it's been a while since we've had a meaty topic here!

Quote:
I'm President of the USA and I'm having problems with Cuba. I discover that my wife, the First Lady, has been having an affair. This devestates me, I'm angry, I make bad decisions and the result is I affect the lives of millions. Okay, this is a really far-fetched situation but as the "most powerful man in the world" do I really have power? I may be able to determine the lifestyle of millions of people, but my wife has the power to make me happy - or even worse, make me sad. My real life girlfriend said something to me a couple of months ago. Her words were "It's scary how much you make me happy - but what's even more scary is how you have the power to make me unhappy". That really hit home. I have a better job and earn more money that my girlfriend and that could be viewed as power - but its not. She pointed out that we both have the power to make each other unhappy; and that to me is real power. Quote:

Sorry for the triple post but otherwise this would have been one amazingly long post!!! Anyway, this next bit is simply some light-hearted humour. There is some truth in it, but sterotypes have to have some element of truth....
Anyway, enjoy and DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!! If you stay home and do the housework...you're a pansy. If you work too hard...there's never any time for her. If you don't work enough...you're a good-for-nothing bum. If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay...this is exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay.....you should get off your lazy behind and find something better. If you get a promotion ahead of her.....that is favouritism. If she gets a job ahead of you......it's equal opportunity. If you mention how nice she looks......it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet..........it's male indifference. If you cry............you're a wimp. If you don't.........you're an insensitive bastard. If you make a decision without consulting her.........you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you......she's a liberated woman. If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy.......that's domination. If SHE asks you.........it's a favour. If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear......you're a pervert. If you don't..............you're gay. If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape...............you're sexist. If you don't..................you're unromantic. If you try to keep yourself in shape................you're vain. If you don't.................you're a slob! If you buy her flowers.............you're after something. If you don't....................you're not thoughtful. If you're proud of your achievements........you're full of yourself. If you don't....................you're not ambitious. If she has a headache............she's tired. If you have a headache.............you don't love her anymore. If you want it too often.........you're oversexed. If you don't................there must be someone else. - S

One of the things i find so interesting about this whole topic is that you could state almost anything you want concerning either sex, wether it be double-standards, common practices, or the total oddities, and apply it to whatever is being discussed. There are so many variables in the human race that you can't really apply anything to anyone in general without knowing them, because it is all a biased reaction. Yes, it is commonplace for the current day american male to catcall, but this applies to men between the ages of 15-50, and only covers about 50% of them anyway. (making up the stats, just trying to state my point) I don't really like taking sides in this matter, because i think it is close-mided for me to hold common practice against someone who deserves respect. I try and be as sexist as I am racist, not at all.
On the other hand, as for the reason this was brought up, I do feel that those men who take matter too far, and are making derogatory comments in means of intimidation, probably out of spite for some action made against them by some woman in the past, are causing totally unnecessary strife. They are taking out their anger on all women, and unfortunately distressing people like poor mena here. As for these bastards, they should be treated like rapists in central america. (rape a woman there, and your D*@K gets turned into string cheese) I think that these people simply take their efforts too far either because they are simply doing it to cause distress, or they are the type who don't want to hear "no". They have made multiple attempts to catcall, and have failed in these attempts, so they continue in their endeavors, yet their efforts are corrupted with bitterness. Some guys like that might have had to deal with nothing but teases, who lead them on and leave them hanging, but i still dont think it justifies their actions. O well, nuff sed.

You people are impossible. I am angry again. My second post was completely ignored and ppl continued with useless bickering back and forth. Look it is THIS SIMPLE! ALL HUMAN BEINGS WHICH INCLUDES BOTH SEXES have a complete and utter disregard for respect of eachother and it needs a lot of help if we are to grow as human beings!!! Women and Men are meant to fit together and create a beautiful spiritual bond in my opinion to fulfill eachothers lives... complete eachother. I think this is important. A sexual relationship is a thing to be cherished in itself and sought deeply for all of its pleasures. On the other hand, a platonic relationship is supposed to be all that it can offer as well so we learn from eachother. And at the same time, if you ever find a special someone I think that they should be your best friend.
Anywayz, with all that said, be proud of who you are. Don't feel bad for what other members of your sex and the human race have done. Just stand up and make a difference. Be a real man and be a real woman. Be a real human. PEACE BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!! BTW, I whistle or smile occasionally to girls walking by. I do not mean anything diragotory by it. _RED_ stuff

I think there is one thing we can all agree upon, no matter what, and that is that Happy Doughnut has been a big part of this forum for a good while, so the thought of her not being a part of it would be really tough, so lets do our best to show understanding and appreciation for her in anything involving her, especially life situations...

i dunno goodman, i dont think that the topic had her so mad at us that she's gonna leave, and i think that the standards of everyone here are high enough that we dont need to be reminded to support our brethren.. I just think everyone got off topic a little and started discussing man vs. woman 4 a few. hope it didnt really get to her THAT bad tho....

Once I was driving past a constuction site and there were a bunch of old worker men sitting and having lunch and when I drove past them I wolf whistled at them out the window. They seemed to like it...
