BM...i don't really know you...but the "man" comment is really offensive, i'm 20 years old and i know i'm an adult, how can you say that a certain age constitutes "manhood"
I am sorry if you've taken offense as it was not intended that way. I know of MANY who were younger and were forced to grow up FAR MORE QUICKLY than many "men" over 10 years your senior.
It is truly sad when a child/adolescent is robbed of that period of time too soon. And yes, it DOES HAPPEN FAR TOO OFTEN.
My comment was directed at THE AVERAGE BOY... You know, the ones who call ANY FEMALE who does not agree with their point of view a slut, skank, ho, etc. while beating their own chest in an attempt to PROVE thier perceived manhood. This is a CLEAR indicator of thier level of maturity. If one does not fall into that category, then they need not take offense. A MAN KNOWS THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE TO PROVE HIMSELF. HE IS A MAN AND HE KNOWS IT.
Why then would I be so vehement in my attempts to express my point of view? It is simple. As I find it INTOLERABLE for ANY BOARD member to use such derogatory terms when directed at ANY FEMALE for ANY REASON. I feel that when I can, it is my responsibility to ensure that this board continues to be an environment where women are NOT degraded.
If anyone is in disagreement with this, then that is fine. Exercise your right to scroll on down or put me on ignore. Hell, shoot George and email! But be warned, while this board ESPECIALLY THIS CHAT FORUM has very lax rules, I will not hesitate to zap ANY POST that I find degrading to women - PERIOD.
I can agree to disagree but be careful of your tone. Remember people, respect is NEVER to be automatically given - IT IS EARNED.
