It's times like these that make me long for the days when I could drink coffee... Hiya. :"dang" From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913) Ding \Ding\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Dinged}, {Dang} (Obs.), or {Dung} (Obs.); p. pr. & vb. n. {Dinging}.] [OE. dingen, dengen;akin to AS. dencgan to knock, Icel. dengja to beat, hammer, Sw. d["a]nga, G. dengeln.] 1. To dash; to throw violently. [Obs.] To ding the book a coit's distance from him. --Milton. 2. To cause to sound or ring. {To ding (anything) in one's ears}, to impress one by noisy repetition, as if by hammering. From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913) Dang \Dang\, imp. of {Ding}. [Obs.] From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913) Dang \Dang\, v. t. [Cf. {Ding}.] To dash. [Obs.] Till she, o'ercome with anguish, shame, and rage, Danged down to hell her loathsome marriage. --Marlowe. I wanted to be clear on that. "I grow incensed when I hear of unanswered entries to the moral ledger." We have that in common. Hence My Ferocity in the Face of the Misogynist... "Bleep the dang culture, lorrie." Agree, again. "Don't be tawkin' ‘bout no “women,” coey. You bes be tawkin' ‘bout yoself." LOL! I'm quite surprised that you find Me "desensitized"! "To me Jr. was just some guy too stupid to know he wasn't experienced enough to fly a Saratoga in unfavourable conditions." That's the spin... "After I read about JFK Jr. yesterday, I took a long swim, showered and went to a party with my wife. I don't think I have thought of it until this morning (perhaps someone mentioned it last night). I just can't understand how folks get so dang wrapped up in the lives of celebrities that they actually start wailing (The Pricess Di thing was dang hilarious)." Isn't that a bit insensitive to the "feelings" of "identification" and grief, over the loss of that "beloved figure"? I think so. I may not understand it, but I see real sadness in some people. "This is likely why the news folk are so dang happy. They are friggin' with your emotions." You're saying they have "news"...I saw FOX really get off on the wrong foot with Zahn...she was Tickled. "...rabid man-hating feminism." I can only assume that you refer to Female Separatists with your phrase... I talk about the 90% of the male population, [My Estimate], who truly despise Women and all things Female, such as Empathy, Compassion, Cooperation, etc. They find it threatening to the Established "master/slave order", which is achieved and enforced by the sexual objectification of Women. "Some women are desensitised to misogyny because they never had fathers to train them in how a man should treat a woman." Not to berate men, however the question is begged...Where are these "men". What caused them to be "absent"? "A whole lotta women out there are craving the strong gentle love of a man, and having never really had it from their fathers they jump at the first apparent opportunity that presents itself to them." Believe Me, JP...many Women have "had it" from their "fathers"...I would reckon that they are some of the first Women to do as you describe. "They just don't have enough dang self-respect to demand the highest of the men they encounter." You're describing a result of Child Abuse...the problem stems from the abuse. "That is the dang problem. And many men don't have enough self respect to conduct themselves as gentlemen should." Or, they have no respect for Women or Life...the result of the unfortunate positive reinforcement provided by a Misogynistic male culture. "It really came to me as no dang surprise at all that you have had difficulty with your dad,... We were buddies for most of My childhood. I think he was a great father for 0-12... Then I started to have "opinions". He was very much from the schools of, "children are to be seen and not heard", and "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything...", you get the idea? The "master/slave" training alerted me to the impending oppression that society/culture imposes upon Females. "...and in many such cases women enter the world terribly vulnerable to doggish men. I hate to tell you this, but Girls are vulnerable to men, little boys are vulnerable to men...Women are vulnerable to men, and men are vulnerable to men. There's a pattern here, JP. "They often end up getting crushed. Or sexually molested/raped/abused/killed, without protection from other men. "Strong loving fathers are an absolute requirement to building a healthy self-respecting woman." I think My Father did a Fantastic Job of that! "And wise nurturing mothers are absolutely required in building strong loving fathers." I agree. However we live in a culture of "denial". Most Women are beholden to their spouses. This is a complex issue. At some point, men have to take FULL responsibility for the damage that they seem compelled to inflict. You cannot blame the Woman...we're only 51%!
