Even I (see my recent history) am not dumb enough to fall for that. You’re kinda nuts. :eek:

I am not into penii, as it is, but even I, a noted troll, have received compliments, and take them where I get them, because it’s too embarrassing to argue.

Bwahahahahahahaa!  
Wow, are YOU up the wrong tree - in the wrong patch of forest, too! :eek:

So, I know better - Having had to, in my duties and responsibilities working with the homeless on killin-cold winter nights, break up quite a few love-fests in various supposedly anonymous corners.

Dunno which planet _you_ come from, **Faylasouf** , but it’s an amusing one.

Just for fun (and to avoid work) I actually checked out one of the [messageboards](https://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingPosts1979236.aspx) that the OP linked to. To be absolutely fair, he linked to a google search, and this was the second link and the one that I randomly chose, just to see what board it was that had 90% of the women saying that the male member is ugly. Now call me crazy, but it seems to be just a tad less than 90%, say closer to 10%, which makes me wonder if the OP actually looked at his own links. If not, I encourage him to go to this site because I know he will trust it as a random internet sampling that as noted above, he linked to to support his hypotheses.

Bzzz.

Going to have to contradict you here - I have indeed seen beautiful vulva - the kind of beauty that stands on its own merit. Not super common, I’ll grant, but in my experience, not unknown.

Have you actually been homeless? Because I have and I can attest that you are flat out wrong. Homeless people are like other people, except poorer and possibly more likely to have mental illness and/or substance abuse problems; and lacking homes, so maybe unable to take a shower and wash their clothes when they’d like to. They still have relationships, and have sex just as often as anyone else, when they can find a safe place to do so. I have never seen a woman “put out” for a hamburger and a place to stay, though I have unfortunately seen a few of them do it for drugs. This has nothing whatsoever to do with how they feel about penises or men.

“Violence by women against men is regarded differently than violence by men against women”  
You’re incorrectly assuming that ALL violence against men by women is taken as a joke. I challenge you to find me a single case of female-on-male MAIMING other than cutting off his genitals where women worldwide erupt in cheers, laughter, and high-fives. You can’t explain that. Why is it specifically the mutilation of the penis that makes them jubilant? I provided multiple links. Everyone in this thread ignored them. Also I’m betting many of these supposedly “penis-loving” women in this thread chuckled a bit and said “you go girl!” when they read the stories. The only explanation for this phenomenon is simple and obvious, women find that part of the body so utterly repulsive that the act of its permanent mutilation brings them immense joy.

I don’t know about this new place my thread was moved, but it seems the moderator considers any viewpoints different from theirs as incoherent babble. Fair enough. Whatever you want. If you want to prevent anyone from discussing this valid subject that’s your choice, you’re the mod.

Wow, women really are monsters, huh?  
To mutilate men just because they don’t like how penises look. Presumably they also cheer when someone with a facial disfigurement gets stabbed in the face? Who knew women were so violent?

BTW I’m still wondering the answer to my question: You’re saying women don’t enjoy sex…do you think that the female orgasm is a real thing?

No actually they mutilate men because of cheating, divorce, an argument, or his loss of a job. I’m talking about the reason all other women laugh and cheer, not the reason some mutilate.

> [@Mijin](#):

My SPECIFIC point was that they only cheered and laughed when it was the penis mutilated. I don’t know what the hell’s your problem, you’re deliberately misreading what I wrote or you’re so hellbent on picking a fight and you’re in such a rage you didn’t take the time to read it properly.

Hell, I can’t resist.

Now that this is in The Pit, this may be the last non-inflammatory response you get, so please read it carefully.

The point is, on a subject such as this, or any subject that would assume a behavior or trait of any particular group, requires strong evidence. You do not have strong evidence. If it were up to me, Internet based evidence would be weaker than anecdotal, but anyhow. You need strong evidence proving the contrary of what is normally accepted, for your own argument, and like I said, you do not have any. A few videos is not cutting it (pardon the pun). This is why you are getting flamed on here. You cannot attribute something to an entire group of people without considerable amounts of evidence. You refusing to provide any other evidence than those video links is why others are contemplating and trying to figure out if you have an angle or a bias or not, and if so, why you are using such weak evidence (if you can call it that) to substantiate your bias/claim.

Sample sizes do not apply in this case, sample sizes need something concrete to base off of.  
If you went to any sort of College and passed, I am surprised you don’t know this. Find a free online course in statistics and methods of writing hypotheses and citations and you will get the same answer, you do not have enough evidence to prove your claim, therefore it is acceptable for everyone else to believe what they want/the contrary to yours.

Most men who’ve researched this topic perfectly agree with me, on women’s reactions to this crime I mean.  
You deny the fact, even when there’s endless videos upon videos of female audiences, crowds, news anchors, and show hosts doing the same exact thing, while there’s little to no women reacting in the opposite way. And you can go on any facebook page, on any twitter page, on any website, the women can be right-wing or liberal, it doesn’t matter. You’ll find the exact same thing all over.  
The fact is you’re demanding some peer-reviewed questionnaire about this topic, which you know is never gonna happen, and you think anything other than that cannot be discussed. That’s not how it works. People have the ability to see a pattern, and this case we see something that applies to most if not all women.

First, the person to which you’re replying in this post never said that “all violence against men by women is taken as a joke,” just that it’s taken differently. That’s an important distinction.

Second, regarding your challenge about maiming without cutting off genitals, I submit [Francine Hughes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francine_Hughes). You may not recognize the name. That’s okay; I had to look it up, too. But I knew the title of her book, and the movie telling her story. You might, also: _The Burning Bed._

After 13 years of spousal abuse, Francine killed her live-in ex-husband (he moved in to recover from a serious car accident, and never left) by dousing the bed with gasoline, and igniting it. She then drove straight to the police station with her children, and confessed. No genital mutilation.

Aileen Wuornos was a female serial killer who supported herself by working as a prostitute. She killed 7 men. None had their genitals mutilated.

Well my point was that if women are violent towards penises because they don’t like how they look, then why are they not violent about other body parts?

Also, still no comment about orgasms? How can it be that women don’t enjoy sex when it’s a physiological fact that they do?

BTW: Yes I am hellbent on picking a fight with a random person on the internet. See you in the car park of Shanghai Science Museum, 7pm on May 10th. Can’t make it? Then I guess you’re just chicken.
