Nono...of course you can be large and healthy. You can be a larger person and be running 10ks fit to whup someone thinner but couch-potatoey's ass.

I just put up the beginnings of a nice wooden arch over our front gate.

Madam, you have just made me choke on my cup of tea in hilarity (also, kudos..let's reassure this young chap that his sex life is only going to get better (as long as he respects his partners...)

Since so many animals engage in it (really, almost all mammals and a fair few birds) then we have to assume there's an advantage somewhere. Nature does not engage in non advantageous behaviour. We think that there's some kind of allopatric advantage in the bird species. For the mammals, our tentative bet is that…

Define disrespectful? under what conditions does anyone have aright to belt anyone?

you are correct. sigh.

You're hilarious. So what do you do for a living? Are you a driller? a miner? a smelter? (If so, I will gladly pass you on to the women I know who do those jobs..)

also, please answer what you don't agree with advocating social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men.

well that's terribly good of you. what do you mean by being disrepectful?

I've had a 14 mile run and a great bit of carpentry to my name today. I am so, so up for playing them at their own game :) It's my post workout workdown. Fear not for me. I have my scientist/historian/hunky swedish dude just howling with laughter at Mo and sending screen shots of his posts to this pals...they are most…

They weren't feminists? So they didn't believe in:

Eeeexactly. You treat people with respect, they have a much higher chance of reciprocating. Clearly this is too advanced for some.

Hmm. So. You love women (I'm sure it's not recipcrocal) but you detest all measures to get them equal rights.

New kinja is a nightmare. I try to respectfully rebut opinions I feel are ..well..crappy. But you do have a point. I will hereforth ignore our wee pal Mo and engage with those I agree with .

Snort. What on earth do you mean by this. WOmen can be sexual creatures. I hate to break this to you but women ARE sexual creatures. We generally love sex. The kicker is that we only love it with people who respect us. SO you're right out, boyo.

NO, you fear female sexuality. You don't like women. Maybe you like guys, and there's nothing wrong with that, you should be true to yourself.

Good on you sir. What these unreconstructed a-holes don't get is that you you get MUCH MORE lady action if you're a decent dude who respects women. Still, let's not clue him in, eh?

You will shame women? Oh my. Well, then expect women not to want to sleep with you, if we're going to put it in the most brutal terms. You have every right to have "a standard" but so do we, and I have to tell you that you don't meet my standards. You have a right to have your standards but you have no right to…

Thank you. Exactly what I've been trying to convince this chap of for the last ..way too long.

It's cultural. My friends kids from the deep south call me "miss Skadi" and my friends kids from Umeå call me "tante skadi." Both show a degree of love and respect which is accorded to those who are not family, but are still beloved. Like in the UK I am "AuntySkadi " (or the AntiSkadi, as I say, with their accent.) I…
