Dear runner,

Perhaps this joke will explain why you need to get
out more:

4 Catholic men and a Catholic woman were having coffee
after Mass. The first Catholic Man tells his friends,
"My son is a priest,
when he walks into a room everyone calls him,
'Father' ."

The second Catholic man states, "That's nothing. My son is
a bishop, when he walks into a room, everyone calls him,
"Your Grace."

The third Catholic man smiles and says, "My son is a cardinal,
when he walks into a room everyone calls him,
"Your Emminence."

Finally, the fourth Catholic man sighs deeply and tells them,
"My son is a Pope, and everyone calls him,
"Your Holiness."

The men turn around and look at the Catholic woman and ask,
"Well, what about you?"

She calmly replies, "I have a dughter, slim, tall,
38 Double D breasts, 24 inch waist, and 34 inch hips,
when she walks into a room people say,
"Oh My God."

Foxy,

You say that runner should get out more.

However you have been repeating the very same (crude) quote - which runner has corrected you on - for many years on OLO, and since 2007 from a quick check.

What about challenging some of those very dated world views you treasure so much? They were most likely wrong at the time, as appears to be your quote, but you remain in your rut, regardless.

You should get out of that rut and get out more, maybe?

Dear OTB,

I'm somewhat surprised that you're taking the
banter between runner and myself so seriously.
Imagine if you had realised that I
was being facetious. ;-)

As for my outdated views?

This from a man who thinks himself sensitive
(simply because he's easily put out). A man
who calls females "Old Tin Fruit," and has memory
lapses regarding the former PM's surname, and
blames whatever he can on "Feminism," or
"Progressives." A man who talks a lot
(but makes no progress). A man who thinks he
knows it all.

Ah well ...
Boys will be boys and so will a lot of older men.

I've been pondering Suseonlines earlier inflammatory comments.

My perceptions (subjective opinions I know)
- Overall I suspect that men would be harder on genuine rapists than a lot of women when it comes to sentencing. Not sure if the gender of the victim makes a lot of difference, if it does it probably flows to a greater protective attitude to women than men.
- I think the other side of the coin is that the louder voices for reducing the burden of proof in regard to sex crimes comes from women. Men are less inclined to accept an innocent man being convicted based on unproven accusations than a lot of women. Especially so where the accuser may have a personal stake in hurting the man.

Ponder all you like RObert.
You and Onthebiartch must be bosom buddies in the way you think.

I wonder how soon that male taxi driver who raped several young drunk male customers will get out on parole?

Even now, many women who have been raped are made out to be sluts who asked for it by being drunk and dressed provocatively.
I doubt all those drunk young men were asked the same questions.

It isn't so long ago that rape within marriage was not a crime, as the married woman was expected to be available to her man whenever he wanted, and it was considered no one else's business.

So don't go on about the poor old males in society and what a hard time they get, because the women are finally standing up for themselves.
And they are no where near finished...

We still have a long way to go before rape is taken as seriously as it should be, and until that time, the laws will allow rapists out of jail to rape again.

What continues to intrude is some old dross representative of the flakey, fringe dwelling radical feminists of the Eighties and before. Some remain locked in a time warp.

As I pointed out earlier to the discomfiture of a now irritated poster, she has maintained her original views against all odds over the years and even recounts the same quotes and insults. Most people would be disconcerted to say the least if they were to be made aware they were living in a rut, and provided with the evidence to prove it.

Now I guess some might be offended by the observation that some play the same role, same scene over and over for years on OLO, and doubtless do the same in their private lives, because behaviour tends to generalise. Ye gods, lets move on!

Maybe they cannot and will not move on because they get their adrenaline from arguing and confirming their own opinions.

I posted a couple of relevant articles to stimulate some new thinking. But no, the bots repeat the same old, same old, regardless.

It is funny but it is also tragic to see rituals repeated over and over.

My 2c worth and cheap at the price.
