Author Woggle Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Actually, I think it's wise not to base your happiness on having any other person in your life regardless of what's between their legs. And truth is, if you date a lot, your heart will get broken. I know Woggle doesn't have the best track record with posts about women, but honestly, shouldn't we hear what the guy actually said first before jumping to conclusions because I've seen growth in Wog these past few months. I certainly don't defend misogyny in any form, but I just don't see it here in any form other than preemptive presumption that can become its own self-fulfilling prophecy. I am not a misogynist in the classical sense and truth be told I probably will make a good husband because I don't believe in gender roles and I am not marrying to have somebody cook and clean for me. I do those things quite well for myself. I always make it a point to say I am not against all women but I say what I feel about many of them these days. I am a man so I can only look at things from a male point of view and that is what I was trying to give my cousin. The dating world has almost become an emotional warzone these days and if you are lucky enough you can meet a wonderful person and get out of the battle but if not a person needs to know how to be strong enough to survive it and still live life to it's fullest. I am not teaching him to hate women but to be strong enough to bounce back from heartbreak. The truth is that it is a rough world out there no matter what is between your legs and if you are not string enough life will eat you alive. Link to post Share on other sites
westernxer Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I was telling him not to base his happiness on having a woman in his life and that often than not they will walk out on you and break your heart. I think it's good advice to not put your eggs in one basket so early in life. People are gonna hurt not matter what, that is inevitable, but more power to those who learn to not be suckers. The sooner the better. Link to post Share on other sites
Becoming Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I didn't mean to imply you are a misogynist, Woggle. Sorry if it came across that way. I just think what the women may be reacting to is gender stereotyping that is a persistent theme sometimes on LS, and that hurts us all from seeing the beauty in the complex mess that is a human being.

whichwayisup Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 My 16 year old cousin was just dumped by his girlfriend and I gave a man to man talk. He was feeling great afterwards but then my aunt calls me up and chews me out saying not to teach her son that crap. My aunt is not a bad person but she doesn't understand man to man bonding and that is what was about with my cousin. I was simply telling him the truth that will prepare him for life. I'm sorry, but your Aunt has every right to be upset. That's her son and even though he is your cousin, you can't taint his future relationships and make him bitter at 16 years old. No matter what you've been through, those are your experiences, not his. It's not really fair to jade him and make him freak that women are bad and out for blood. Not that you said that, but ... Well... You know... Link to post Share on other sites
