Foxy, you are right of course, and I take my hat off to you for your continuing patience with some of our more 'manly' contributors : )
See you all on another thread.

Suse.

Dear Suse,

Thanks for your kind words - your common sense,
and your well-reasoned posts.

And talking about words ...

Reminds me of this old joke.

A US border guard caught a man trying to slip into the
US from Mexico. The US border guard sent the guy back across the
border into Mexico. Well, the next day, the guy tried
again, and the day after that. This went on for a week -
and finally the US border guard had enough.

"OK Buddy, tell you what. If you can put the following 3 words
into a sentence - I'll let you in. The words are -
Green, Pink, and Yellow."

The man thought for a moment.

Then he smiled and said,

"The phone went Green, Green, Green. I pinked it up and
sez - Yellow!"

Not sure if the guy was allowed in or not though.

Dear Individual,

Nobody deserves a growl.

That just proves the point that rudeness is not just
a one gender flaw.

Dear Albie,

Thank You.

You've got a good heart.

Feminism is what feminism does.

When a male Opposition leader looked at his watch while a woman was speaking, feminists were scathing (OLO too)labelling him as a 'misogynist'. By contrast, for years notable feminists have been getting away with truly disgusting, neurotic and mad bigotry against men. Rarely has there been even a murmur against them.

Germaine Greer,
<British troops could turn into rapists: Germaine Greer sparks outrage on Question Time

And little girls learn to flirt through kissing their dads
Controversial feminist Germaine Greer claimed on Thursday night 'little girls learn to flirt with their fathers' - and sending in British ground forces to Libya raises a risk of 'them raping in their turn' in an outrageous appearance on the BBC...

Ms Greer's responses caused anger within the audience, with catcalls of 'absolute rubbish' greeting her comments on British troops, while one questioner said her remarks on a child's goodnight kiss was 'an awful thing to say'...
At one point the assembled panel were asked a question about the report for the Government by Mothers' Union chief executive Reg Bailey on the sexualisation of children. It was then that the outspoken academic told the audience in Norwich how children badgered their mothers for clothes which made them look older and for more Barbie dolls: 'There's always been this sinister culture that has gone along and it has always been sexual.

'The Barbie doll herself is a fetish, she's descended from a sex toy. 'Little girls learn to flirt with their fathers ... you know, "kiss daddy goodnight" and all this sort of business and you wonder whether what's happening in marketing is responsible or whether it is actually causing it.'

A father in the audience looked appalled by her comment. 'Who's going to teach my children to flirt with me? That is an awful thing to say.'..

Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens, who was also a panellist, said her comments showed 'how sick we are as a society that people introduce sex into a goodnight kiss from a father to a daughter. It is unbelievable'.>

Nobody deserves a growl.
Foxy,
Anyone who maggots off others & screws them in return not only deserves a growl, they need far more than a growl. But since stupidity is not yet a crime the feminists get away with a growl.

<Where they rape
<some poor young girl and then she goes to prison for 6years while
<they just go about their everyday life.

<Have you also noticed the 40 million displaced people in the world in refugee camps, driven <from their home and land by violent war-lords,(men with guns) Who then grab the land for <themselves.
.
<But they are nowhere near as awful as the male oppression has been
<towards women.

A similar tactic was used during the 1st WW to get men to join up.\

<As the Germans invaded neutral Belgium in August of 1914, the patriotic call grew as the
<propaganda’s slant changed from the legal discussion of treaty violation to a chronicle of
<both real and fictionalized war atrocities. With the heightening of the propaganda
<campaign, the invasion of Belgium became more engendered. “The appeal to duty,
<conscience, and sense of honor became a plea for the protection of the family” as the
<portrayal of the war became “a battle between good and evil”

<In describing and/or fictionalizing the war atrocities being perpetrated by the “Barbaric Hun” <on the “innocence” of Belgium,

The tactic of trying to control men by shaming them, is perhaps as ancient as the Roman's, or even older.
