Women are crazy. Men, to, are crazy. Children? Crazy. etc.
I must say, that article does not show many things I recognize from my dealings with women.
Interesting article.
I actually think it works both ways...more aggressive women "gaslight" too: their husbands and coworkers, male and female. I know because I am guilty of it myself.
We're all a little crazy; male and female. I'd be the first to admit there are times when something hits me the wrong way and I react; and it may have no rational basis on it.
Can't speak for all women as I am an oddity myself, so I don't always fit into a neat stereotype.
Right, but some genders (like the female gender, for example) and age groups (like the teenage age group, for example), are a lot crazier than others. :bored:Quote:

Fair enough. Let the record show I didn't call males stupid; that was all Cain :p
I used to think women were insane. Then I had kids. Women don't seem so insane anymore...
Well, we purposely seek out relationships with known crazy people.
Stupid seems apt. :)
Uh-huh, this sort of gaslighting never gets done to men. Just doesn't happen. And no one ever uses the expression of emotion, real or feigned, as emotional manipulation itself. No, this is purely about the patriarchy trying to control women.Quote:

Cain's earlier remarks. Men are dumb, women are crazy hysterical.Quote:

Why? Well loopy is a more specific type of crazy, it indicates a cycle, a repetitiveness that only women* can truly comprehend (or endure).
*Some men can gain a limited understanding of this loopiness but only through continuous exposure to the "loop" over an extended period of time (20 years or so). Sadly it would appear this hard won wisdom is of no benefit to either party unless the male is willing to accept that his role is to always have the last say in any discussion... "Yes dear"
There is also another factor associated with the "loop" which is that physiologically, psychologically and chemically Women are complicated, while Men are not - this can lead to the belief (or realisation) that the former is crazy (loopy) and the latter is stupid (simple).
Then again, what would I know, I'm just a man.
:D
Stereotypes exist for a reason. Usually that it holds true for the general case, no matter how much that rubs the feminazis the wrong way.Quote:

Except the blog DID assert that it was pretty much exclusively directed toward women. That's the point of the blog, and this particular stripe of socio-political feminism.Quote:

Not all music using violins, cellos or harps are 17th century baroque. Just ask John Williams.
To be honest I do think it's mostly directed towards women and possibly children, but in that case mostly girls. But that's just my belief.Quote:

Articles like this are written to be polarizing, the author needs to go all-in to make the point. Unfortunately, life isn't like that. Life is those frustrating shades of gray where sometimes a behavior is OK and sometimes that same behavior is not OK. It is incumbent upon all of us to learn the difference and understand why. When in doubt, err on the side of listening versus talking.
So, this inability of yours to carry on anything even resembling a conversation... is it just a natural talent, or do you have to work hard at it?Quote:

Spoken like someone who's never been in a relationship with a woman, might I point out. Also, and this may come as a shock to you, but you are not all women. Your inability to have anything resembling a normal, adult conversation doesn't apply to all women anymore than your j00 fetish does.Quote:

Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so honest, so thoroughly square;
Eternally noble, historically fair.
Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat.
Why can't a woman be like that?
Why does every one do what the others do?
Can't a woman learn to use her head?
Why do they do everything their mothers do?
Why don't they grow up, well, like their father instead?
Why can't a woman take after a man?
Men are so pleasant, so easy to please.
Whenever you're with them, you're always at ease.
Would you be slighted if I didn't speak for hours?
-Of course not.
Would you be livid if I had a drink or two?
-Nonsense.
Would you be wounded if I never sent you flowers?
-Never.
Well, why can't a woman be like you?
One man in a million may shout a bit.
Now and then, there's one with slight defects.
One perhaps whose truthfulness you doubt a bit,
But by and large we are a marvelous sex!
Why can't a woman take after a man?
'Cause men are so friendly, good-natured and kind.
A better companion you never will find.
If I were hours late for dinner would you bellow?
-Of course not.
If I forgot your silly birthday, would you fuss?
-Nonsense.
Would you complain if I took out another fellow?
-Never.
Why can't a woman be like us?
Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so decent, such regular chaps;
Ready to help you through any mishaps;
Ready to buck you up whenever you're glum.
Why can't a woman be a chum?
Why is thinking something women never do?
And why is logic never even tried?
Straightening up their hair is all they ever do.
Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside?
Why can't a woman behave like a man?
If I was a woman who'd been to a ball,
Been hailed as a princess by one and by all;
Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing,
Or carry on as if my home were in a tree?
Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going?
Why can't a woman be like me?
:heart: Crow, one of my favorites!
Yeah well I was clearly taking the piss with my post - I thought it was pretty funny really. :(Quote:

The loopy ones are the most fun however. :p
Your humor is sweet and it's clear you like women, unlike Cain and his patronizing poison. ;)Quote:
