No no no! its Helena who is the “anti-male, feminist zealot”, can’t you see!?!? She said “thinking with your dick” to someone! ---

Incidentally, I asked my husband if he has ever said someone is “thinking with his dick,” and he looked at me like I was speaking Martian and said " Yeah, cause we do that." I am having a hard seeing this this as anti-male. It’s more “has actually met males.” ---

It’s more “has actually met males.” Your hubby’s reaction proves my point: very few, probably close to zero, males ever use such an obtuse phrase, and it’s not okay for females to do it, as it is a sexist stereotype that men are horny pigs. ---

LOL my husband was saying that he characterizes other men like that all the time- any time they are making decisions with genitalia rather than grey matter. ETA: I read your response to him and to the point that “men are horny pigs” he said “CAUSE WE ARE!” ---

He looked at me like he had no damn idea why I would even ask. You know, others got the idea. Yet you faltered. You seem to lack reading comprehension. Are you sure you belong in University?

My reading comprehension is fine, thank you very much. I just had a long day today is all; tired, spend some time in the gym. Anyway, I’m not a misogynist. End of story. **Esco** needs to get as far away from that woman as possible. ---

Just the responses in this thread prove what I said. > > It’s not that I _enjoy_ poking libs with a stick, but damn, it gets tiring reading idiotic bullshit and namecalling responses every day whenever I post something. It’s like listening to the monkeys in the zoo gibbering and throwing shit all over the place. It was funny for a while but not any more. OK. No name-calling then. Just this: [ol] [li]Posters have pointed out to the OP that referencing the hateful words of a deranged comic-book villain calling women gold-diggers is NOT sound counsel for someone seeking relationship advice.[/li][li]Posters have pointed out to the OP that using terms such as “bitch” and “broad” do not reflect well on the counsel-giver in such cases.[/li][li]Posters have suggested the OP is wrong to brand Helena330 an “anti-male, feminist zealot” for using the phrase “thinking with his dick”, because this really is a common phrase used by men and women alike.[/li][/ol] While other posts have included what could be seen as anti-conservative (or anti-Trump) remarks, I don’t think the above points are in any way political. I think they are quite rational, indeed, common-sense observations. Don’t you? Yet your first contribution to this thread is, > [@Clothahump](#): > > They’re liberals, dude. Any time you say anything based in logic and fact, you’re automatically wrong and evil and bigoted and thinking with your dick, etc. OK, so if you despise ridicule in response to “logic and fact”, please address the logical points I laid out above. And if you truly understand the liberal mindset so well, perhaps you could explain to the OP why MOST people here have chosen not to side with him. Heck, you don’t have to agree with us, just show a modicum of objective thinking. Put down the stick and \*study \*the monkeys. \*Learn \*from them! Meantime, please consider this. > [@Helena330](#): > > **Cosmic** , if you truly are in college, it’s about growing as a person, not just earning a degree. Take a class outside your comfort zone, maybe a sociology or psych class on inequality or gender(gasp!), just one class. Discomfort means you’re _learning_. When you have over a dozen people telling you you’re wrong, while it’s easy to dismiss us as “libtards”, it’s possible the problem is you. I’ve been on boards a very long time and have made a lot of stupid posts, and have deservedly gotten beaten down for them. But I’ve also learned a lot from those experiences. I sincerely hope you’ve taken \*something \*from this, even if it’s just the realization that you have a lot to learn. Coming from a person who has been called an “anti-male, feminist zealot” with daddy issues by the OP, I think this is a very gracious response. What say you? And to **Helena330** , that was very classy. Good on you! ---
