to go of a friend who has just been on a sex tourist trip to Thailand?

[Hairyjumper]

Single male friend, just been on 2 weeks holiday where he paid women to fuck him.
Have had quite a cerebral discussion with him about it.
He says it is not seedy , no pimps blah blah.

I thought I was open minded but it just seems wrong.

dittany I must address you one last time. Firstly, I did not see your post asking me not to address you before I made my last post. That is because I wrote the post with various interruptions over a period of time and my browser doesn't update the page when I'm editing.

If this is to be my final response to you I will be honest and explain one of the reasons why I respond to you the way I do. I have a daughter who has just entered secondary school and I know her life is sometimes made a misery by playground bullies of the girl variety. They call names, sneer, deride and say who is 'in' and who is 'out'. There's always a leader with a strong character and a gang of rather slavish followers, some of whom do the leader's dirty work. The followers have themselves often been bullied and, in any event, are too frightened to stand up to her themselves. 'Yes, dittany; no, dittany; you're so clever, dittany; you could wipe the floor with me, dittany, if you wanted to, dittany; can I be your friend, dittany'. I tell my daughter to stand up to these bullies, especially not to overestimate them or descend to their level, to see them for what they are, and to be her own girl.

This is not your playground.

LOLOLOL at Dittany being the playground bully.

Can I do your hair for you today, Dittany?

Your shoes are really cool Dittany.

Anyfucker said she didn't like them, btw...

come on Dittany you cant have a go at him first then say "do not respond back" and also how rude of you to say "if a girl says no they mean no" a little out of context.

But Andre, some of your post are too long winded. you could of said half of that in one sentance.

we?

"word soup"

spot on

Dittany, you smell of wee

No I think he thinks we're all your acolytes because of course, we can't have worked out feminist positions for ourselves, we're all just copying you because you're the cool one.

for Andre

No 4?

Ha ha No 4 really sums it up.

Nope, plain case of 1, 2 and 3. 4 is just a sop to those who use the term "Feminazi"

Thanks slug - enjoyed all the definitions, specially 4. . Been cool talking - sorry for being long-winded.

didn't understand most of Andres long winded post but he was spot on about Dittany's moral outrage and feelings being more important than the end result of reasonably talking to this guy to try and show him the truth of what he doing and and hopefully to try and get him to change his views on using prostitutes. Even when i sometimes agree with what you say Dittany - your constantly ranting, angry delivery just makes me want to stick my fingers in my ears.

of course i know what i will say will be rubbished because Dittany must ALWAYS have the last word.

OK slug - we can agree to No 3.

Yup, ccpccp - agree with No 3 too!

beonyabampot "Dittany must ALWAYS have the last word" - Not today, maybe.

The main point in my hypothetical exchange between Dittany and the man is that they each go off in a flounce with their respective illusions intact. Someone's been forgotten about. Guess who?

Yes FFS, on what planet is it considered extremist, angry, unreasonable and ranting, to be outraged about rape tourism?

Dittany - don't watch 2 and a half men, you would explode.

I had a ranty moment when I watched it. It is a complete disgrace.

The problem dittany is that a handful of prostitutes just got their mortgages paid.

Oldest industry in the world...

It's not the oldest industry in the world.

It only came into being with the advent of patriarchy.

Before patriarchy, women were not defined as objects, but humans.

There's a school of thought that says pottery is the oldest industry in the world.
