all aimed at me..
I'm just disappointed because nobody replied to my comment on another thread - I was looking forward to the usual MN reasoned debate
So I'm going to re-post that comment here, as I think the point I'm making is worth debating - it's occurred to me so many times whilst reading threads on here.
I read some of the venom and abuse on MN directed at men who are being typical blokes insensitive, blunt, bossy, thoughtless, forgetful, un-emotionally aware etc, and think... How would it be if this were Men's Net (is there one?), and the women described in posts were displaying behaviour that often seems just as unfathomable and unacceptable to men as theirs do to us? If the men all piled in and labelled the OP's DP as a bitch, controlling twat, cunt etc, and recommended he make her grovel, do penance housework, cut up her clothes to teach her a lesson, dissolve her hair with Nair... I reckon any woman reading that would be utterly outraged. I know a lot of the 'revenge' comments are made light-heartedly, and that's the spirit in which I read them, but it always strikes me how one-sided it is, and how many of you would be if you read 'light-hearted' comments like that about women on a male-dominated website.
Just a thought.. I'm in controversial mood tonight.
