    ok ill try and map it out

    issue is that joke A. emphasizes all the ways a woman becomes invalid as she ages but a man will always be ruled by sex.

    so if no one wants to "have at" a woman who is past her "prime" then tell me who does the man who is always after sex then go after? (not all men are like this but im going with the inference posted) but really do you support the idea that as you age you will be replace with a younger model because all you are is the sum of your total physical fleshy parts? look at that joke again and just try and justify that that underlying inisinuations are not just THAT. we are not making fun of short people here . the issue is much deeper than that. you dont even realize how your own language and self-image is poisoned. "self - help" find some - and be whole ..

    and.. a woman suffers damage?(why is ageing damage? explain this to me please) but no mention of the damage a man suffers as he ages like balding and back hair and constant issues over never owning a good enought "insert hot car here " (to embrace a stereotype)..

    but he will seek out the chica who has less damage?

    that's freakN funny?

    whatever sisters and brothers - i find that the unsaid inference floating on this air wave i choose not to breathe in THX~

    I dont understand why it's funny to put yourself in this role. maybe i could have presented it better but wow.. it's so sad and well, frustrating to see someone willingly degrade themselves and hate themselves like that.

    =(

    really we need to question why it is we believe what we do. some unchallenged beliefs harbor so many fallacies that can compromise the quality of life. its very disturbing.

    peace,

    m.

    Actually you did NOT apologize for using this thread as a platform for your soap-box sermon.

    I did as you suggested and looked at your whole TEN posts here and found much of the same attitude conveyed. You come across as a holier-than-thou and arrogant individual who has no clue about what it's like growing up in a CULT for a quarter century and having the notion that MEN are in charge whether they're right or wrong shoved down your throat. I personally take affront to the concept that being born with a penis gives a person more privileges than if they were born without one.

    A little rebellion against that attitude in coming out of said CULT is justifiable and understandable. In case you aren't aware of the psychology of humor, people often use it to help them deal with painful emotions. For you to try to dictate to others how to deal with their frustrations is as arrogant as it gets.

    If you don't find humor in my posts in that section of the forum, may I kindly invite you to WALK ON BY. Nobody is forcing you to read them. If you find my posts offensive, feel free to IGNORE THEM.

    did so, you got freakN mad and missed it. that happens . so i forgive you.(and as i read on i think we both misunderstood eachothers intentions.. ill explain)

    EDIT>(doh, your right i did not apologize here but in a different thread on this forum.. your right i mention that at the end but please read on...

    I did as you suggested and looked at your whole TEN posts here and found much of the same attitude conveyed. You come across as a holier-than-thou and arrogant individual who has no clue about what it's like growing up in a CULT

    untrue i have been in the CULT for exactly that then left after being part of a witch hunt - and went to university thanks.( i was attacked for my intense interest in history and mythology . My friends sold me out - so to speak to the Elders and i was branded a bad influence . I didn't know my place as a woman. heee so you have misjudged me. i misjudged your true intentions too.

    for a quarter century and having the notion that MEN are in charge whether they're right or wrong shoved down your throat.

    now just because your experience left you powerless doesn't mean the real world is that way. you have the power. your post made fun OF YOU! and it degraded you.

    if you were burned that's fine. not all people will burn you as you will soon find out. And your language sister , from your upbringing is poison. You are unwittingly degrading your own flesh when I am on your side. Im sorry, i should realize that my anger for men and women in general shouldn't be so harsh with you who is the brunt of that kind of system. The world is like that - mean to women - but we can take it back. I fight for that. for equality and respect. your joke didn't have any of that.

    I personally take affront to the concept that being born with a penis gives a person more privileges than if they were born without one.

    I agree, 100% with that. and trust me i fight for that. but you will hurt yourself more by alienating men who have suffered from their own stereotypes. There are some good one's out there and more need to be made. You wouldn't raise a son with such anger towards (edit) WOMEN would you and hurt him a nd make him hate himself? NO! of course you wouldn't some mother's have done that. don't be so angry (which is deserved) that you alienate the good people.

    A little rebellion against that attitude in coming out of said CULT is justifiable and understandable.

    yes is is

    In case you aren't aware of the psychology of humor, people often use it to help them deal with painful emotions. For you to try to dictate to others how to deal with their frustrations is as arrogant as it gets.

    nope your wrong here im steps ahead of you (sorry not a dis maybe i have been out of the religion for a bit longer than you so i caught the implications here a bit faster ... you will to as time goes on). while you saw that males were ripped on you over looked the true inference of that joke. that is as you age you as a woman become less valid.

    If you don't find humor in my posts in that section of the forum, may I kindly invite you to WALK ON BY. Nobody is forcing you to read them. If you find my posts offensive, feel free to IGNORE THEM.

    I want to bring awareness to men and women. i don't think in the heat of your rage you really read and thought about my posts. I'm on humankinds side and i fight for the equality and not the inferiority of women

    Regards,

    Morgaine
