re: post #119

Aren't you over-dramatizing your point? I made my thoughts in my posts very clear. I hate no man. I have no hate in me. None. Can you, and everyone else here understand that? Why has this ruffled so many feathers here? I don't understand how anyone can be so unaware to these facts of past history, and present ills of society. I know there are decent men of past and present, and I enjoy knowing some of them. There is no hate in me. I hope you will come to accept/take my word for it.

Do you wonder why so many people have the exact same read of your original comments?

You mentioned in your initial post that you wouldn't let any man into your life as you have a son. Before that you had listed all the evils that men do, but THEN you turn around and mention these "male friends" of yours.

Um, maybe I'm whacked out, but why aren't you romantically involved or try to be with any of these high-quality men that are friends of yours??!!

I don't quite understand what's keeping you from being with someone in a committed relationship if you know all these good men. If your friends are married or not attractive(though at a certain age, these standards have GOTTA change) then surely these high-quality men have high-quality friends???

... and present ills of society...

Such as public schools which indoctrinate instead of educate?

Such as tens of millions of abortions?

Such as rampant divorce and broken homes? Such as the increased drug use, and promiscuity, and gang violence amongst teenagers from broken homes?

Intriguingly, none of those problems trace back to men.

Nor does the "gender gap" that got Bill Clinton elected twice.
