I’m opening this thread because your comments in this one have totally derailed the discussion and frankly, I’ve about had it with your constant misogynistic bullshit.
Your comments are obviously made to inflame. Congrats. You did it. You totally switched focus from the OP’s request for advice to your sorry excuse for an opinion about how relationships work.
I have no idea what your mommy did to you, asshole, but get some fucking therapy and get over yourself. My god, I really pity the self-loathing you’re going through, but most of us have enough difficulty finding our way in relationships. Your constant drawing a line in the sand and pitting men and women against each other needs to stop.
He always reminds me of the single and bitter 20somethings I work with that worship Tom Leykis.
Sample of the Leykis 101 ministry for those fortunate enough to have missed it:
:rolleyes:
smith is just a schmuck.
The OP of that thread though, is a wussy schmuck.
Charming. And goes right in line with a post msmith made just the other day about dating.
Lest anyone think I am perhaps going overboard in my accusation of consistent misogyny on the pittee’s part, I give you a random sampling of msmith537’s view on the differences between the sexes and interpersonal relations in general.
Decoding “womanspkeak”
More “decoding woman-speak”
Why one woman is pretty much the same as another.
The “science” of social dynamics.
There is way more, but reading this stuff just makes me even more pissed off at him.
Christ, that guy has some serious woman-hating going on.
msmith is the antagonist from every teen comedy made in the '80s.
Seconded, sorta. I don’t think HSHP is a schmuck… but good gods he needs to stand up for himself.
That’s exactly it! While he’s an idiot, he’s not a colossal idiot: he’s really one of those idiots put on earth for comedy relief. Things are bad for you, and then he pipes up, and you think, “hee hee! Okay, at least I’m not that much of a loser.”
He annoys me when I notice him, but like a sip of Zima, his nastiness is ephemeral.
Daniel
Seconded! (not thirded, 'cause I don’t think he’s a shmuck either.)
Anyone who can make the sweet AngelicGemma lose her composure to the point where she draws a Mod warning in an IMHO thread is automatically on my bad side.
In other words, OP, I support this pitting.
You forgot this gem of a thread.
I don’t know; either msmith is one of the most openly misogynistic guys around, or he’s a 16 year old nerd living in his parent’s basement who’s never even spoken to a woman. Either way, his shit is definitely getting old.
And he’s not even right about women. He’s just plain wrong, and I’m tired of his insulting me and my gender. I have never done the things he accuses women of; none of the women I know conduct themselves like that, but somehow he’s gotten the idea that all women are lying, manipulative, evil bitches. He seriously needs to meet a better class of women, if his attitudes are based on experience.
I’d guess he’s more this guy who happens to have seen every teen comedy made in the 80’s and thinks that’s behavior he should emulate. I just hope he goes away before he discovers Tucker Max.
Eurgh. I got as far back as this one and decided my bile level was quite high enough, thank you.
Schmuck I might be, pal, but I’m coming to YOUR town.
So unless you want me whining to you in person, chill. :dubious:
The women who pull those stunts don’t think they’re doing anything like that either. Frankly, I know several women who act just like msmith describes. Heck, three friends of mine are dating women like that, and who now control their lives. It’s kind of sad.
Of course not all women are like that. I’ve never dated a woman like that, and I know lots more who aren’t. But I’d say that there are a huge number of them that pull that sort of crap.
If women are acting like that, don’t men have any responsibility to tell them it isn’t acceptable, and dump them for it? If the women keep getting what they want with bad behaviour, where is the incentive to act decently?
And I’m still not buying that the majority of women act like that. Some, sure, but I wouldn’t agree it’s even half.
And I’ll be happy to let my girlfriend kick your ass.
While you’re here, go to one of the Chenoy’s restaurants for a slice of strawberry cheesecake. It’s so dense, it’s like eating a particularly decadent brick.
I’m not saying the men don’t have any responsibility. If they’re allowing themselves to be doormats, well, it’s nobody’s fault but their own.
I might. I’d be willing to give the range of 40-60%. This isn’t to say that many men aren’t manipulative and controlling in their own way right back, of course.
So what? There are a huge number of men who act like mysogonistic, arrogant dicks. Being a mysogonistic, arrogant dick isn’t the domain of men any more than being a controlling, mind-game-playing harpy is the domain of women. Rant against the behavior, not the gender.
