Cheers to Seabeyond, Redqueen, Boston Bean and the rest of you ...

for putting up the good fight against Misogynist assholes here and other places as well.

I noticed your block list.... That about sums it up.

Keep up the good fight and remember--- Real men don't whine and moan about Women having it better in life.

You really have taught me a lot over the last handful of months. I dont know that you can appreciate it. But, I have found it fun and amusing, the awareness you have given me.

I love men. and boys. I am mostly around them in RL, all my life. I see all kinds and in uniqueness, I have a blast with men. You have been fun because at first you were the one I was going after. But, in battle I came to appreciate your frankness and straight talk. I was able to appreciate the simplicity of who you are walking your own unique moral compass whether I agreed with what you were saying or not.

I love that type of awareness.

We may battle in the future, but, I am confident it can be done in a respectful manner. That is all I ask for.

Thanks for that. I have developed a lot of respect for you.

So many of the responses to tosh's rape 'joke' show we have a loooooooong way to go. Lots of fighting to be done, still.


ps, notice that loli joined us for a lively discussion and while there was disagreement, there was no rudeness, so please feel free to join in whenever.

Thanks for showing it's possible. A lot of people seem to sincerely believe that anyone who disagrees in here gets blocked.

being said about who we are, what we think, how we behave, that in know way is close to any kind of truth. one would think that the intent for open and honest communication should be expected. it makes having a real conversation challenging with some, when we know the crap being spewed elsewhere.

nobody has a problem (very few) with open discussion when the underlying intent is with respect.
