Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

Again you are getting carried away again IMO, Swim.

Where have i asked you to change?
How many people you enjoy beating up is immaterial to me.
I will say though that it could easily sound like an insanely jealous husband taking violent revenge rather than just having a word in his shell-like first!

I would also like to know why you consider that your comments acceptable, yet mine are considered as "whinging"?

I see no point in prolonging this silly discussion anyway.
You are what you are, and I am happy as I am.


P.S. Ruthio has made an interesting point in her post.

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

Using women and children as an excuse to conspire to inflict Grievous Bodily Harm on men who "cross the line" is rather excessive, though .....

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

Good point.
I didn't want to become an enabler ...
When my brother was pestering me to go to bed with him I threatened to stick a knife in him. I told him straight .. he'd better keep watch over his shoulder as I'd just wait for him to go to sleep one night and stick him in the gut. I hoped I was suitably menacing. He never bothered me after that.

I don't know whether that makes me a thug or over-reacting but I didn't want to become a victim.

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

Everyone has a natural disposition towards violent acts. Luckily, most of us never end up in the situation which would catalyse the actual event.

This, in part, is thanks to those who are willing to act on our behalf (police, army etc). We should remain grateful to them

As for swimfeeders, all I can say is thank god he's batting for the side of the innocent and oppressed.

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

I must be very fortunate, as no man has ever touched me inappropriately.
I suppose most men l know or have met, show some respect for women....even when they are drunk!
I would say, most men are decent people and those that have behaved inappropriately, are in the minority.

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

What it makes you is a very brave young woman indeed

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

which is and which post?

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

ruthio - clear thinking is beginning to prevail - thank you

and NOW: as an encore?

another one bites the dust!

I don't know if you need any 'stand over' men in the 'Metoo' movement but I'll volunteer if Swim will??

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

The dictionary tells me that a "'stand over' man" is Australian slang for "a person who uses intimidation to impose their will" or "a person who extorts money by intimidation", i.e. a violent criminal .....

Re: The Me Too Movement and Me...and Possibly You

ever heard of the term 'tongue in cheek' Omah? - it's a very old english term ? maybe older than even you?

ps: humor is permitted even on this web and helmets/hats can be docked if desired?
