I am going to try to tell you there are other opinions too
[Read the article: Conversations: Avril Lavigne]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well, first of all i do not master The beautiful language of Shakespeare so, please forgive me for that as i only speak and
write in portuguese and french - I think i could write in french - You're so intellectual i think you understand perfectly that language but let's suppose i do not offend you trying to say what's in my heart - I am an old man at leat by some criteria - i am 60 years old. Before you get furious against me i do adore musics from Wagner, Puccini, Mendelssohn and many others,, Avril Lavigne, Slipknot, Blink182, Faith Hill etc, etc, etc.
As you can see there's a very, very special place in my soul and
in my heart for that beautiful (i'm not talking only about her pretty
face or beautiful body ... don't be chocked i have tried for these 60 years (even though it seemed to be only 60 days!) to understand why people fear the body - of course i am suspect because for 58 years i used to think there is no god at all ...
well nowadays i am not so sure but i still believe the body
is something natural and it should not be considered something
mean - open your minds, please. So i adore that young woman also for Her beauty but i love her musics - i know she does not write them alone - she writes 90 per cent at least of the lyrics of them and she colaborates practically in all of them.
As a super fan i took my time to do a search of hundreds of hours so you can imagine i know what i'm talking about.
I had the honor of being at Her only show in Lisbon - i am not ashamed of telling you that i cried like a child some seconds before She has stepped on the stage.
Of course, i know you are laughing but, why not if it's good
for you. I am just trying to show you that you cannot force
the others to have the same feelings. When i was younger i had
sometimes the idea that i should not show my feelings or my way of thinking for instance in what concerns the human body. The
truth is that human beings are (and i too) idiots.
Before you use words like pedo... i tell you that i have a nineteen years old daugther named Gwendoline (read Gwendolyn) that i respect totally (curiously She's not really a fan of Avril!); i am totally against porno things with young people
; i don't really like pornography - i am rather naturist and vegetarian; I consider (as Seargent michelle Manhart said) the
Female Human Body one of the most beautiful 'Things' in this
Universe.
Before finishing i must tell you that my brain is in perfect
conditions of functioning - i am a teacher in computer science
and a programmmer in a half a dozen languages from Assembler to
Csharp or PHP.
I have said.
carlos,

Thank you so much
[Read the article: Americans more ready for a black president than a woman?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]First of all you will excuse me for my bad English. I follow with
interest American politics and thinking in general.
Your article is very important and thank you so, so much indeed.
I see that Americans are obstinate with Black thing. Notice
that i have never been racist so i am not worried with that. Nevertheless i see with stupefaction that Americans discriminate a lot of singers because the singer in question is not black or does not sing Hip Hop or that rap thing (i cannot call that music). I would like Hilary to be plus towards left wing if i could i would vote for Her because of the fact that she belongs to the beautiful half of Humanity. I am a man but it hurts me that human beings are so stupid and evil and do not recognize that Women are so beautiful and so important - shall i remind the brainless people that we would not be on this Planet without Women.
carlos from Portugal - i am 61 year old and have all my neurons in perfect state and i am not gay and do not dislike to be a white man - i would not dislike to be a black one if i was born as a black man - i would certainly not dislike to be a woman if
i were born a woman. Is it hard to understand or are we trying to be idiots really hard?
Thank you again for showing an important subject.

Yes
[Read the article: Thank you, Rush Limbaugh!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Some readers here might not like Hillary's policies or personality, but there is no need to offend and put down an entire gender because of their personal issues with a presidential candidate. It offends me, and should offend any woman reading the Salon."
I would say It offends me too and i am a man.

Thank You Again Joan Walsh
[Read the article: My last word (for now) on sexism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thank you again Joan Walsh.
As long as you will write these important subjects i will read all your 'Essais'.
damnthatxanadu:
'SEXISM is hate no more or less than racism! And it's right before everyone's
eyes right here and right now'
We must, of course fight the racist tendancies but i think sexism is still less
understandable because there is no excuses such as 'corporal odours' being
perceived differently from individuals of different ethnic groups.
Women, within an ethnic group are not perceived negatively by men otherwise
we wouldn't be here. So, i do not understand as a man how it is possible
not to adore and respect the 'Yin' half of the Universe (and the most beautiful).
carlos,
a male human being
