Wonder woman, think thrice

Yes I did read what he wrote. She dignified it with a response. She is an also ran in the 'he said, she said' melee. Not the choice I would make, but certainly illustrates why she is not more esteemed. Like I said, "now I get it." Interestingly enough, most of the writers with deservedly bad reps seem to be men.
I am surprised she has the time to post so much, given her employment situation. Must be cushy, or trust fundy. All the more reason to be gracious and well mannered in the face of abuse.
Btw, my other posting to this thread is advice, under the nom de keyboard 'best wishes'. I agree with comments about the sorry state of the editorial staff in various threads. I would not pay for the 'premium journalism', 'good writing' or 'red stars' they present. The letters on the other hand, with or without stars, are a hoot.

Excuse me? Yeah, maybe i dignified it with a response, but why did you decide to butt in? Maybe you should be gracious and well-mannered, and not butt into other people's conversations and keep your mean comments to yourself.
Perhaps I run into the "he said, she said" melee, but you posted a whole independent post with exactly the same kind of arrogant and bitchy remark that you accuse me of making, saying that now you get why i am not more respected. Why share this, just to take a stab at me? There was nothing substantive in that post in relation to the subject matter. Perhaps you should have just kept this sentiment to yourself, if it's not relevant to the topic.
"cushy or trust fundy"? It sounds like you just want to insult me. Perhaps my summer associateship is cushy, though i stay later at work than most people with real jobs, but it is certainly not "trust fundy." Because, as I am sure you know, most people who have trust funds don't actually need to work.
And even if it were cushy or trust fundy, i don't know why it would be more reason to be gracious and well-mannered in the face of abuse. Is it because you expect me to be a well-mannered trust fund baby, or because you think that all trust fund babies should be forever groveling at the feet of the "real working people"?
I find it particularly interesting that Wonder Woman has nothing to say to Parson Jim, even though his comments were much more vile, but plenty of scorn for me.

Not cooking for your husband is now an atrocity?

Is a woman who cooks only for her son but not for the husband even though he often (50% of the time) cooks for her normal? Is this a happy marriage? This is what my brother gets for trying to be a good person and an equal in the marriage responsibilties WITH AN AMERICAN WOMAN. I could name more atrocities I know about in marriages around me, but this is one example.
1) This is an atrocity? What kind of warped world do you live in?
2) You think this only happens with American women? Have you ever been married to a non-american woman? any of your friends? What do you think they are like? More importantly, do you think that all women, from all social backgrounds, from every country except the US, as diverse as Chile, Mozambique, Japan and Romania act the same way?
I find most feminists whiny, deluded, demanding, arrogant, snotty, immature and irresponsible. HENCE, I utilize this same attitude in communicating with said feminists. and PREDICTABLY, you feminists DESPISE IT. Notice you do not care AT ALL that we men NORMALLY face this assault every day from you women.
1) "whiny, deluded, demanding, arrogant, snotty, immature and irresponsible" -- I think you have a massive case of projection.
2) I'm sorry, what assault? The only men I've ever heard complain about things like this is you salon message board whiners. All the real life men i know are very different from you and Parson Jim.
suspect I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body. THUS, I DO NOT BUCKLE UNDER YOUR THUMBS UNLIKE MOST AMERICAN MEN.
1) I mean, really, you suspect you're a lesbian trapped in a man's body? Maybe that's the source of your problems, your confused sexuality, and not the nature of american women
2) I don't want anyone to buckle under my thumbs. I want to have an open and honest debate -- it's you who is always whining.
co- conspirator against the world
See, again, maybe you're a sociopath, and that's the problem, not american women.
I know, I know, you think I am just telling you stories. But I speak from my heart. It is not relevant to me if you believe me, but it hurts that you are so callous and bullying.
Oh! Oh! my heart is breaking. Learn how to take it, if you dish it out, boy. You want to sit on your overweight ass and indict all american women, spew your insults and your incessant whining on these message boards, but then you want people to not hurt your feelings?! You must be joking. If you don't want people to hurt your feelings, perhaps you should stop saying stupid things like "all american women are gold-digging, superficial, selfish, anti-housework, entitled cruel bitches..." It would be just as idiotic to say "all american women are loving, nurturing, sweet, self-sacrificing, etc..." It's just too damn broad.
