"...I make ONE remark on this BBS, and you immediately assume you know my WHOLE LIFE STORY! Wow... you put words in my mouth that weren't even there. I never assumed anything about your life other than what you made apparent in your postings. ...However, I also have seen situations where men blame women for everything, and although they think they're cloaking it in humor, they're still blaming women for some of their own failings. And you dare harangue me for assuming to know your life? Again, nothing I said went any further than what you put in your own postings. ...Yes, I have my share of aches and pains from the school of hard knocks... but I suspect most, if not all, people do. And, BTW, I walk pretty straight and tall. I'm not bent over with that imaginary chip you seem to think is there. Once more, you make the obvious more apparent - that chip is there for all to see. I apologize for the confrontational tone of this posting, but when you attempted to belittle my comment in posting #20, I felt like you were trying to put me on the defensive - that is a rather liberal tactic when they don't like the terms of the debate, and it tends to bring out the worst in me. I will not repost on this topic again, and I wish you the best in your life.

Actually, I wasn't trying to belittle your reply in #20... I am glad to see that at least *some* men are good fathers, and I have complimented personal guy friends for it.

Once again, you assume to know all about me from very little information. Do I resent some men? H3ll yes, but certainly not all of them.

And by the way, I'm NOT a liberal. Go smear someone else.

...that is a rather liberal tactic when they don't like the terms of the debate,

And on this BBS, it seems that some "conservatives" use the tactic of smearing any woman who doesn't have the main goal in life of finding the "right" man to obey.

I'm not married, but if my live-in boyfriend tried to act as if he owned me, I guarantee he'd be out on the street, on his @$$, in a heartbeat. I did have to deal with that kind of crap growing up (plus physical and emotional abuse), and I've never put up with it in the years since leaving home.
