What constitutes Misogyny?

Sorry, pal, but to be quite honest it's your behavior here that I have a problem with, not Willow's. If you'd like to continue discussing this topic, I suggest you keep that in mind. It's too bad if you don't like it, but I'm getting weary of your voice.

Please don't request specific examples either. They won't be forthcoming. And I'll repeat to you what I told WakeUp:

Quote:
...it would be more helpful to the discussion if you might simply accept that it is in the concensus of the women here, and reason out for yourself the "why" of the thing. Give some credence and then take some responsiblity and see what happens.

Is that some type of ban threat? Because you, and possibly 2-3 others, are weary of my voice then you are going to ban me?
And you refuse to provide any examples? Do you see a theme here?
Someone doesn't like what someone thinks. And without having to provide any reason they can just dismiss them.

Look just ban me now. Go to your destiny. I'm not going to provide any reason for you to ban me and you and others will have not
create more and more elaborate criteria to get rid of me that will stretch all logic. Review the thread if I engaged in the behavior
that C_W and Project Willow did to me, I'd have been toast pages ago.

If you going around accusing men of it then you better be ready and willing to listen to what they have to
say about it.

Would you respond so to a man if he accused you of racism? Try to imagine that. If you expect to have any sort of dialogue you will not speak to me that way.

Hello? Yes, yes, yes. I don't know why this is such a strange concept of having the right to tell someone whether their accusation against you is
accurate or not.

And the quotes totally reflect your thinking.
If misogyny is something that is not about me why am I having to constantly defend myself against charges of it from you?

You don't have to. What you need to do is come to an acceptance that you are wrong, and move to the next level. If you can't then you need to move on to another thread, because what you are doing is trolling imho, and I've given you all the slack the rope contains.

I'll note that you are to be considered an authority on racism as well as misogyny.

Given the above, hopefully I am still considered an authority on my own thoughts and will not be required to defer to your authority over them and so I may be allowed to inform you, plainly and clearly, that your characterization of my thinking is absolutely wrong.

If misogyny is something that is not about me why am I having to constantly defend myself against charges of it from you?

Because your feelings are so hurt that you have not yet been able to comprehend and therefore consider what the women here have said?

See, I'm sorry but I don't think I'm wrong and if people keep on quoting me I will reply. I would love to be done with this thread,
but you know what? Certain people continue to accuse me of misogynistic behavior without providing any real examples. Disagreeing
with three women on a misogyny thread I don't think qualifies. Like I said before don't call my name if you don't want to talk to me.

If you accuse you have to explain. It's that simple. Stop accusing me, explain or stop quoting me. Simple messy democracy in
action really.

Then you need to accept that everyone is, at this point, aware of your position, and walk away from the stalemate.

This board is not a democracy. Welcome to your imagined dystopia of not being the authority on what women feel. Let it go, or I'll suspend your account, Norman Rockwell notwithstanding.

OMG, I've been missing an entire thread about penises!

Please suspend my account. I ask out of protest because I never claimed to be an authority on what women feel, I just held two on this thread to be accountable when they accused me of being misogynistic. Just do it, it will be a great object lesson for all I believe.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[barracuda]

Just do it...

I'm not doing anything just because you asked me to. Why don't you just cut your losses instead, because you're standing on a principle that has no footing at all.

:sun:

The penis thread is actually a viral video produced by... uhh, nevermind.

[seemslikeadream]

This is a peonie thread? How'd I miss this? I love peonies!

[brekin]

The principle I stand on is holding people accountable
when they accuse me of any ism. If they can't, then they
are probably using that ism for whatever personal agenda they want.

But how about this? If in the next hour no one agrees with what
I've said so far I'll exile myself from this thread forever. It is 1:27 right now.
I won't be posting in the interim.

[barracuda]

How 'bout this: if in the next hour one woman thinks you need to rethink your position, you'll agree to leave the thread.

I think I can work with that. Ladies?

I wouldn't be surprised. You can never trust what men have to say about their dicks. I demand evidence.

I don't feel this is a fair preposition for a mod to be making.
