heehee, My reply to you would be the same in any definiton and on any thread, sweetums.
I don't like men or women inaccurately labeling themselves and suffering from hasty generalizations
that have compromised the quality of peoples lives. in sexism or in rasism (for men and women)
but i wont rehash it here ive said it 8 times now on 3 different posts so ill just let ya catch up =P.
i've used this forum as a minor platform for both men and women because
I like to take time here and there to voice my opinon and try and make life less of an act of segregation and more one of unity and peace for better relationships
and better living.
it's nice to throw out other viewpoints and i realize that some might/have misunderstand me, and that my presentation may
not be to your liking. but be that as it may /shrug. point still stands...There are many fallacies and negative connotations here (and on other
threads) that deserved to be addressed. Sometimes we don't question why we believe what we do. We dont challenge the foundation of the harmful beliefs
that we take for fact (when they are just opinion or a down right lie). Just because it seems like these things have always existed doesnt make them fact. Racial
inferiority existed as fact until the myth was debunked. Same needs to be applied sexism on both sides of the court. IMO It's good to ask ourselves if we are refering to ourselves
in a negative way - or if we refer to others in a negative way and if these ways are valid solid definitions or just someone's out-dated opinion. It's good to keep an open mind and not live in habit. And it's good to remind eachother of it. I dont
mind being critiqued . We are communicators by trade, human beings are, so i like the interaction and i learn where i can, as best as i can, and add my voice to mix just like everyone else.
heee
. Hey i had some nice insights on eve ... you didnt like that either? <giggles> Wild Turkey looks great in an Apron btw.
Oh, don't let this be you ( i love this quote and it applies to me too. i'm not exempt. i dont want to give that impression)
"Many people would rather die than think. And in fact, they do."

and thank's for all the smiley faces heee (wicked mouth. i like you!)
peace,
