Just because there are idiots like... What was his name again? The guy who broke wind in here a moment ago? The one who can't SPELL or present a coherent thought? ... in the world doesn't mean we should all be placed into the category of oppressors. Some of us are allies.

On the one hand I agree with you. All men are not bad. I know lots of men who inspire me, whom I respect and wonder at. They often muster a singlemindedness which if channelled leaves my fuzzy logic standing. They work their butts off to support their families, shoulder financial responsibilities that would make most women quake, attempt daring feats that our maternal instincts recoil from, stay calm when we buzz around them in panic. There is little point moving from the specific to the general. Some men are mean, but so are some women. One mean man or even hundred of thousands of odious women-haters does not make all men, not even all "white men", bad. In fact, seems to me that the character of the mother, her own self regard, and the effort she put in particulary in the first three-five years, has an awful lot to do with how the man turns out ... Women are often responsible for the men they create. Too many hang onto their sons as vicarious lovers, for example, and leave other women to be knocked down by the nefarious fall out. On the other hand, you gain nothing by your language but serve only to prove their point. Happy Easter Devious Diva. Enjoy your garden. Hope you have some daffodils. Daffodil

Tim,

Check your spelling, you loser. On the one hand I agree with you. All men are not bad. I know lots of men who inspire me, whom I respect and wonder at. They often muster a singlemindedness which if channelled leaves my fuzzy logic standing. They work their butts off to support their families, shoulder financial responsibilities that would make most women quake, attempt daring feats that our maternal instincts recoil from, stay calm when we buzz around them in panic.

There is little point moving from the specific to the general. Some men are mean, but so are some women. One mean man or even hundred of thousands of odious women-haters does not make all men, not even all “white men”, bad. In fact, seems to me that the character of the mother, her own self regard, and the effort she put in particulary in the first three-five years, has an awful lot to do with how the man turns out … Women are often responsible for the men they create.

Happy Easter Devious Diva. Enjoy your garden. Hope you have some daffodils.

That's why know one reads your feminists blogs. I didn't do anything to you so why are you pointing the fingers at me? I like women I haven't done any thing wrong to them so why do you go on and on about us men as if we are all to blame. And then you pat yourselvs on the back and say thank you thank you for proving me right. It's a fucking joke. Devious (yes you are are fucking devious) all you want is an ego boost and someone to tell you you're a good little girl/ni**ger. Fucking give it up. You're a joke. No-one gives a shit. TIM

While they hate and oppress and marginalise you, they will claim that it is they who are truly being oppressed. It's one of the things they do best. The best way to fight them is to care about each other as much as possible. xx

I'm sorry for all the skinny little girls with unruly hair that have to grow up with the hate. I'm glad you grew into such a giving person; determined and dedicated to wipe out the hate and make this world a better place.

I feel all warm and fuzzy now. This is going to be a slow week blogwise. It's the Easter holidays here and there are other things I would like to be doing. Enjoying my garden in the sun for one... brownfemipower, I submitted to the carnival but I am not sure when it is out ? Thanks for suggesting it.

You ARE an inspiration. Don't ever stop standing up for what you believe in. For each one that hates, that says go back home, there are ten of us that love you the way you are. Thank you for sharing your point of view so honestly and poignantly with us. It is mind-opening.
