But still. Whether Jaq is trolling, or sane, or even real is a separate question from whether society makes an underclass of the romantically incompetent, and if so, whether that’s just jim dandy or ought not be tolerated.
Is it dignifying or feeding Jaq’s trolling to take his double standard of gender out of the question and give it a good hard go?
I admit to a certain paranoid temptation at times - else I wouldn’t ask: Might it not be true that some of us, right here on the dear old Straight Dope, find the very idea of interrogating social realities to be, in and of itself, “all kinds of nuts”?

Why this entrepreneurial genius married a man who believes that she has no empathy and would gladly watch him burn to death is a mystery.

Well, based on previous Le Jac posts, he’s a trillionaire genius who has accurately predicted every economic downturn in history, was born a poor black child but managed to work his way up to the top, has been everything from an insurance sales star to a civil servant and union worker, and perhaps someday he’ll regale us with how he actually invented the internet and played a leading role in building the transcontinental rail road system (plus help Ben and Jerry get started with their ice cream empire). He’s practically the Forrest Gump of the board…hell, he’s Forrest AND Bubba rolled up into one, with a bit of Lt Dan added as well. And he’s got his Jenny…
It’s even odds that his Jenny actually looks a lot like his right hand, though that might be a bit unfair. He could be left handed…
So the issue of whether or not Jaquelope is a bitter shell of a man was pretty well resolved minutes after this thread came into existence. That’s that.
But then even sven basically decreed that no gender has it harder than the other when it comes to looks, the media(wha…?), and the dating game by…giving examples of how one gender has it harder than the other when it comes to looks, the media, and the dating game. Don’t some of you feel a little silly arguing about how much harder your “side” has it?
This thread should have just been a relaxing pile-on but instead somehow veered into bragging about each gender’s rate of suicide.
Wow, did I sure as hell get your panties in a knot or what?!
But then you as a woman expect men to care about your precious feelings. Yet you even imply right here that you couldn’t even be arsed to give a flying rat monkey shit about theirs.
The whole idea that you can’t expect from men what you are unable to give, absolutely chaps your sensitive little hide.
And then you throw out the typical female shut-him-up insults: “he can’t get laid! he sucks with women!” and other typical childish bullshit that in no way establishes you as unpredictable, original or even witty.
You poor, poor put-upon woman. So self-absorbed that the males of the world are out to get you. You probably envision me by now as scheming to put you back in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant or some other overblown bullshit.
All you need to do is end your response with “doodoohead” to finish your magnum opus of hackneyed nonsense.
Man, women sure are bitches, am I right? You go through all the trouble to pretend to have feelings and even that’s not good enough for them! Whores!
It’s comical how you try to evoke sympathy for people thinking you’re a sexist asshole while making bitter statements about women as a whole. You’re like a talking totem of sexual failure.
I’m not here to evoke sympathy. I’m here to tell the truth. “Come home with your shield or on it” was a real phrase back in Sparta; and it’s still in effect in a subtle way now.
Ah yes, and the “you’re a sexual failure” shut-him-up tactic. Also both untrue and unoriginal. Yet another psychological defense you throw up to cow men into silence. You’re little more than a cartoon trope.
Yeah, we’re all pathetic. Of course, we’re also mostly enjoying sexually and emotionally fulfilling relationships. I guess I’ll have to just take what I can get.
Your weakness is you mistake the roar of animals headed for extinction (the pro-offshoring trolls) as “facts, cites and logic”. Or maybe you’re just getting REALLY pissed that fewer and fewer Americans are buying that horseshit anymore.
In any case you’ll be singing a different tune when people like me are referring to ideas like offshoring as a bitter ugly memory.
