For better or worse the "big tent" contains many people who don't subscribe to the planks of the Republican platform championed by the religious right.

Actually, I know this. I'm not the religious right, although I still uphold values that say it's wrong to just use people with no remorse or responsibility. Maybe that's just me, but I don't think so.

And the majority of women who do uphold "conservative family values" are already off the market. Most of the marriageable (and I use that term loosely) women in the US tend to lean left, with all the incumbent baggage. Their own behavior in the singles scene is what brings out the negative attitude seen in some posters. They wouldn't be "disposable" if they didn't put out at the drop of a hat.

You act like all conservative marriagable women were born on the same day and are all gone, despite the constant births of new daughters every day.

But as I stated several hundred posts ago, just let these guys have a place to vent without adding fuel to the fire. Provoking and taunting just leads to more of the same, as well as more deeply entrenched animosities.

One would think that the "higher angels" of conservative women would direct them away from threads like this instead of y'all wading into the fray with both fists clenched.

Discussions of women, politics and relationships is of particular interest to conservative women, I'd think. And we've had ~good~ discussion about feminism, marriage, and relationships on this thread. It's not all about fists clenched. Those seeking a place to rant and bully are the ones who should be deemed out of place here, not those who are actually interested in discussing these issues with other conservatives.

That rules out politics as a career choice for you.

The pickin's are mighty slim. The 1988 models to the present are certainly off limits. And the models prior to 1975 have waaay too many miles on them. With that as a limiting window, it's in my best interest to be open to checking out the foreign makes as well.

This is the first thread of this type in which I've actively participated. But I've read quite a few. And some Freeperettes do attempt to stir the pot and pick fights. Whereas the guys tend to rant and then are forced to take up a defensive posture.

Ranting is an ingrained part of the forum. You've been here long enough to see it occur on most topics, as have I.

Bullying (until the moderator makes a call) is more a matter of opinion. Some may consider the calling in of a gaggle of like minded individuals to gang up on an unpopular idea as bullying. And that happens all the time, not just on this thread.

For some, this may be the only safe place for them to get something off their chest. Cut 'em a little slack.

As an analogy, if you had an agitated animal in your barn, wouldn't it be more prudent to just let the animal relax and calm down, rather than poking it with a bunch of sharp pointy darts?

After all, females are supposed to be a civilizing influence on us Neanderthals. If Conservative women don't play that part, we're all in sorry shape.
