I find it amusing how you accuse us of sexism. I'd make a counter-argument, but I find it hard to concentrate with Ronald Reagan staring at my face.

Gorbachev had the same problem.

[Bottle]

Thirded but I don't see what is so scary.

The way people talk makes me feel like a feminist version of Ozzy Osbourne, who bites off the testicles of the bat instead of biting off the head.

[Minnas]

But hey, don't take my word for it. Feel free to keep thinking that you know women's minds better than the women themselves. Divorce lawyers need work just like everyone else these days.

Ah. I see. It offends your feminist sensibilities to have someone point out that your body aches for a child, even though your mind rebels.

Nowhere have I said it's wrong to overcome your biological urges. It's amusing however when some of you claim to be so special as to not have those urges at all. Veritable superwomen.

Hahahahaha! You're telling this Bottle. Well, Bottle, for example, has stated that as woman, time and time again, she doesn't want to have children. So you're telling Bottle that she knows shit about herself and that, since you hold all the knowledge in the world, she indeed wants a kid?

Yo Bottle, you don't know anything about yourself, according to the stellar rants of Hiddenrun. What do you think about that?

[Hiddenrun]

In any case, I do apologize, as I had earlier stated I would bow out of this thread. Certain posters took that opportunity to come back, hours later, and flame me. I shouldn't have stooped to replying to such obvious baiting. I apologize for letting my annoyance interfere with my promise, good day.

That meritted a chuckle.

Bat testes are really small, you should eat more dear, men don't like women who are stick thin.

Also, I don't think it's that you're an evil feminist, so much as you cut straight to the point. No flowery language.

Ah yes I see.

Now I too am scared.

I think it's the same spiel I've heard from dozens of dudely dudes over the years. This case isn't even one of the more entertaining ones...my favorite was when I declined to set up a second date with a guy due to lack of chemistry between us, and he informed me that the real reason I wouldn't go out with him again must be because my "biological clock" was ticking and all I cared about was getting pregnant.

I was 19.

[Minnas]

How old are you, Hiddenrun? 10? Re-read the parts you bolded and tell me, do you understand, really understand, what that person is saying? Read in between the lines, you obnoxious poster.

Here, let me help you:

I'm not talking about my boyfriend's problems since I don't think I have one.

At this moment, it's best if he doesn't consider me anything of his because I am unfit.

And in the end, this is neither your concern not anyone else's.

Yeah, talk of biting off testicles makes any guy feel scared.

Sadly, I think I've run him off, so it's unlikely he'll be responding.

So THAT'S who that was.

I had my money on a wax mannequin version of Harvey Keitel.

It doesn't really matter. All he did here was present his insecurites, didn't source shit and claimed he was "just being flamed'' for stating something.

Boohoo.

Why would NOT going out with someone imply a need to get pregnant? I would think the opposite would be the case. Anyway, good on you for avoiding contact with someone who has no idea what he is talking about.

I like to call it Bro-logic. It's like the time that a guy dumped me because I wouldn't fuck him, and then called me a whore.

I'm sure you just missed it. I don't believe for a moment that you read this and were just hoping you could claim it wasn't said.

I regret saying those things but it was how I felt last night. Undeniable. No one here, least of all you, have any right to judge me for this.

But we can still judge you for the "otaku" thing, right?

Right?

Do not question Bro-logic it is always right.

Now that I have read through this thread and gone over ever inch of text, I have this to say. This has been significantly derailed because of the actions of Hiddenrun, who purposely baited the OP on the first page with his nonsense about some alleged boyfriend. His behaviour had caused a domino effect. All of his remarks toed the line and were at least nothing more than comments designed to bait the females who are posting here.

Hiddenrun, if you didn't want people to react badly then you should have double checked the nonsense that you spew about women because frankly, it was rather sexist in nature, which leads me to believe you intended to troll here. I suggest you wise up and fast.

Nanatsu no Tsuki, all I will say, is for your post (where you did a flame), I will only say this: I expect you to know better. If you're feeling emotional when you read something, hold out on clicking the submit button. Wait two minutes then look at what you wrote.

It seems as though you are unable to read. I pointed out that anyone who has had more than one relationship has, by definition, experienced a dysfunctional relationship. Else the relationship would not have ended. The poster I was responding to suggested that someone who has had a dysfunctional relationship could not comment therefore on any relationship. I brought up the point that it would be very odd indeed to only allow persons who have experienced perfection (ie, ONE relationship) to make such comments. Are you up to speed now?

That's not even remotely true. Two people can have a wonderful relationship that ends for one reason or another and it could have been completely healthy and successful.

Very true. There are plenty of "functional" reasons why a relationship might end. I actually think it's a major problem with the culture in my country (America) that we view any end to a relationship as a failure, while a relationship that is still together has not failed (at least not yet). In my experience, that's not a real correlation. Plenty of relationships are completely and utterly dysfunctional and failed but they endure for years on end, while other relationships are brief and end soon but were completely functional from beginning to end.

This actually can be linked right back to the topic I think, because the OP was basically about how perception may create reality. If relationships are perceived as only failing when they end, then that sets up a deeply sick culture for dating and sex. That creates a culture where ending a relationship is automatically a bad thing, a failure, regardless of the reasons for that ending. Because of this perception, people stay together far longer than they want to, and often far longer than is healthy for them, because they don't want to "fail" in their relationship. So because people are so determined to not have "failed" relationships, they end up remaining in genuinely failed relationships a helluva lot longer.

What concerns me is that the OP may think that because her situation seems like failure, only temporary, that she is incomplete and that no one can love her or appreciate her. That destroys and nothing can be further from the truth. A woman isn't just a woman because of her capacity to create life. A woman is so much more: daughter, sister, friend, student, worker, cousin, human.

I have to say I do respect you much more now, Minnas.
