There is an old joke on the internet (specifically IRC) which I will not quote verbatim but:Erana said:It just bothers me when people waltz onto the escapist and assume that we are a pack of men. (with men mentality)VicMcSeven said:As an American woman I find it highly offensive that you assume every woman in the country is some psychotic pervert with twisted insides. For every one woman you hear about that does those sort of thing, there are hundreds of kind, loving mothers and excellent, caring teachers out there doing their best to be good people.
Also, if we're going to talk about what's wrong with America's women, what about the sicko pedophile MEN out there? Hmmm?
And there are definitely less than 50% of girls out there that are bi/lesbian. In fact, every girl I know is absolutely boy-crazy and I'm sick of hearing them natter on about how great their boyfriend/boy-toy/friend-with-benefits is in the sack.
Ideally, we think of our posts in the context of a multifasceted audience.
Even then, I wouldn't like this sort of thing in an all-man forum...
Personally there are a couple of things that come to mind as an Aussie male, the first is that it's not just the women doing crap like this - the guys do it all the time (especially with the pants-around-my-knees-showing-my-ass mentality that is so goddamned prolific - curse you gansters!). The other two are that it's not just stuffing a few notes in the bra (though that annoys me immensely and is mildly revolting when they're anything but washboard flat around the stomach) - it is everything. Australians will be (at least passingly) familiar with the "ladette" concept and it is prolific all over the place. The feminist movement has created a generation (or two) of females who are more manly than the men (irony) and it is disgusting.The Internet, where the men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents
I'm reminded of a situation where two females were discussing, quite loudly and with great detail, the bodily fluids and items expunged from their mouth and nostrils during a particularly solid round of gastro combined with the flu. In a coffee shop. I was ready to smack them, my own morals be damned.
Finally, I should point out that there are women (like my own partner) who are still very lady like, who dress appropriately and keep their language moderated where necessary. They, like us gentlemen, are a dying breed, yet they still do exist.
There is still hope.
