Because you declare it so? Ha. Or because you don't think a woman is good for anything except one usage?

OK. Let's just go over a few of your posts and shed a little light on why I think you're just plain nuts. Note that I didn't say women were nuts as you are apt to project. No, I said YOU. YOU ALONE.

In post 132, you stated: "But guess what: I moved on. I don't blame the shortcomings in my life on someone else. I work to fix them MYSELF. How novel. Some of these whiny guys could try it."

Then, in post #152, you state: "I've played by the rules all my life..he was the one who started taking vacations with boyfriends.." and in #188: "Men who cannot establish relationships with home-grown women tend to import. Sorry, but that is how it works."

Sounds to me like you're projecting your shortcomings upon others quite well. It also seems that those who recieve your elegant scorn all happen to be men. (Its also telling that the guy that you claim to have been married to decided to date men. Perhaps you left a fine impression on him.) How much does that chip on your shoulder weigh?

Then there's the embellishments. You claim to be quite an acheiver as noted in post #522:"I got a good job. I now have BETTER things than I did married. I OWN FREE AND CLEAR a house in the best neighborhood in the city (with no $$$ from the ex). I drive better cars. I MOVED ON. ON MY OWN, with no help from a guy. I did not WHINE!" "I am SOOOO special!!!". Or, this one: "Nobody pays my bills but me. I have a good, professional job and I do not need the financial help of some woman-hater who believes manhood is defined by misogyny."

Also, see #636: "Tee hee. Taking on a mortgage is such a trivial undertaking.". Its hard to own a home "free and clear" while taking on a mortgage.

More of the same in #675: "With this kind of hostility in the work place, doing the mundane is not trivial. Men don't have to justify their jobs. I had to justify myself daily, and I had to be better than any man in the same job, just so no one would damn me as incompetent." Here you are, claiming to be better than anybody else, or at least any of the "men". But of course, anybody can claim anything on the internet. Proof is a little harder...

And perhaps a bit more elusive than one might expect as shown here in #724: "I've been using PCs since 1974 to operate scientific instrumentation like FTIRs, GC, and HPLCs...I have been at this awhile, so stop stamping your feed and crowing how knowledgable you are because of your kiddie geek slang." That's a lofty claim especially since PC's weren't around in 1974. And this coming from somebody that hasn't a modicum of knowledge about a few simple HTML commands, yet claims to be better than everyone else. Save the claims for your resume.

And of course, your claims of superiority are also blemished by this response "Except that I can discern that there are males who are black and females who are black. Can you not tell the difference?" to this post "(and most of my friends are men, because I do like them--I just don't expect much) Replace "men" with "black" and see how it looks. Not pretty, is it?" where you completely miss the simple concept of word substitution. That doesn't help the verbal score on your SAT at all.

The circumstances of your marriage and subsequent divorce also raise concerns as to its genuinness. I mean, first you state in #152 that.."he was the one who started taking vacations with boyfriends.." Then, in #635, you claim that "I handed over paychecks for 10 years to the 'joint' account and was lucky to leave with my life." Finally, back in post #205, you ascertain that "And then there was my ex trying to kill me...for a $35,000 insurance policy."

Now I've got to get this straight; each of these situations strengthens you divorce case. The total of them makes him out to be the scum of the earth in the eyes of all. And yet, you propose that "Mine was in the courts for 7 years and cost $25,000." As well, you state "I lost everything of $$$ value in my divorce." I simply cannot see how you could have had to deal with those situations and still end up spending a small fortune and 7 years fighting it; especially in relatively liberal Ohio.

No; I suspect there's more to the story if it is even true. Which I doubt.

I've watched your posts throughout this thread and that other "he-man whatever" thread. Your tactics are consistent. Any time anybody calls you on your sometimes outrageous claims, you make some snide remark about men "in general". Here's a few of my favorites:

"I just know better than expect much from men. They're okay to work with, and better to talk to than most women, but the maturity isn't there."

"I like men, at a safe distance where they cannot harm me or my animals."

"Ah, the good old days when men could abandon wives and children. Is this the kind of society men long for?"

"Men fantasize about women as nonverbal slaves, that's why they think Asian women will be the answer to their adolescent wishes."

"Yes. I contradicted all-knowing, all-powerful, should-control-everything men."

And of course, everyone's favorite: "What sane woman would want any of the hateful misogynists posting here? Why don't you just go forth and kill all the women and make the world perfect?"

You paint with a broad brush; no, with a spray gun with no nozzle. You just close your eyes an squeeze the trigger. You know exactly what goes on in the courts, yet you claim otherwise. The stats are way against you.

I suspect that you have such a huge chip on your shoulder that you simply cannot help but be abusive to those around you; particularly males. Any time a man makes a comment critical of you, you cast it off as some kind of blanket statement about all women and then proceed to demonize him. You've done that to me once or twice including the opening quote of this post, though it doesn't stick too well.

Your credibility suffers. You are not the ideal spokeswomen for women. You've tried to hijack this thread, tried to make legitimate claims out to be "whining" or "woman-hating". You've demonized those who choose not to put you on a pedistal. But other women are seeing through your little rant. They know that you are just like the feminazis, playing word games to try to get what you want. Sorry, darlin', but that dog don't run here. You're trying to fool conservatives; we don't get fooled too easily.
