I see where you're coming from, and I'll tread lightly as to not imply that domestic abuse is ever justified.

I'm all about healthy boundaries, but I stay keen to the fact that I am not an island unto myself..my actions inspire others to make decisions, and vice versa.. these comments are the perfect example, I am not responsible for the comments that have come my way, but I'd be fooling myself if I said I didn't contribute…

Ok, i'll cop to my shittiness, that was definitely a practice of hyperbole. But at the same time I have to realize my shittiness is going to contribute to the shittiness of others(name calling, etc.) So you were right, responsibility lies within the self, but never discount the power of contribution.

"Don't get me wrong — the way we act in relationships should be mocked because people, by and large, are morons and morons deserve derision. That being said, we're a diverse group of morons. Some of us over complicate things, some of us overly simplify. We can be manipulative and mean. We can be nice and dumb. This is…

If I were a homosexual man, I'd call it grown up encouragement, I'm not so I'll call it childish name calling.

Then inciting a riot shouldn't be a crime, hiring a hitman shouldn't be either.

Perhaps amongst hermits; but with society and social relationships, bullshit is universal. The only reason I feel comfortable pointing out the bullshit in others is because I realized my bullshit long ago, and came to terms with it.

Men realize the stupid shit women do all the time, also how we might be responsible for said stupid shit, welcome to the grown ups table.

Well, cultural framework is somewhat inherent to our actions, but only in as so far to determine choices, not feelings. And sexual readiness would be determined by the behaviors, not necessarily the physiological occurences(a slippery slope to hetero exclusivity again), though I would say the holding hands and kissing…

Sorry, I suppose with all the fertility talk it does smack of heteronormative....but i would hope seeing the universality of human attraction would encourage people to stop discounting non hetero preferences as unnatural. Different equipment, similar programs, I'd say.

I don't see it as such a generalization, I would imagine the only differences in non hetero people are the specific hormones in the potential mate that specify sexual readiness. I suspect the reaction of the pursuer is also subject to certain levels of adaptibility based upon what it is percieved that the pursuee is…

It's ironic, the Model T, Bug, and early Corollas may have dominated due to assembly line efficiency..but no car company today has the chutzpah to make a light, cheap, rwd car anymore..sure Toyota/Subaru tried, but the GT86 triplets are too low volume, and too high priced...VW, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, etc.. have the…

Well, ultimately she did assault him, so I'd be in favor of either a civil settement of his choosing, or a jail sentence under the charge of domestic violence..to make it somewhat fair, she can choose between the two.

No, not no choice, societal pressure. Please don't misinterpret what i'm saying here.

No, this seems like a real thing, exclusive to China as far as I've seen. There's no doubting the millenia of patriarchal influence there, but their portrayal of women seems to follow a dichotomy, one as helpless maidens, the other as a souless "dragon lady". And how the patriarchy carried out in government and…

Yes, a veritable reaping of what has been sown, still doesn't make it right. If the quest for equality entails an oppressive attitude, then what equality can come out of it?

So reading the comments it seems most are replying as if this took place in the US or Europe, wherein if a girlfriend sucks, you simply dump her and try again. This is China, where masses of unwed men outnumber the amount of eligible women, thus creating a power structure by which the woman can basically demand…

Ours is 6 as well..high spirited and lovable, but has issues with personal space, as in her hugs are not voluntary, they are mandatory..it was cute at 3-4, but that mess doesn't fly in school. Also take into account she's the size of a 9 yr old, so i'm paranoid I'm going to get a call from school about some boy she…

I think the body shots were off of each other, and dog food can shred your insides...but the real point is equality..like i said earlier, my Y chromosome gets what you're saying, and I can't say I'd have turned down a hot teacher or drunk aggressive sorority sister..but the side that has a daughter realizes that times…

It does bring up an interesting scenario that may or may not have already happened: Drunk guy at sorority party wakes up and realizes he had sex when he didn't want to, we tend to prejudge women if their accused male rapist is conventionally attractive, I could see the inverse for men if their accused female rapist is…
