Men bashing

[Misshalfway]

Ok. So from what I hear you saying, you didn't accuse everyone and that you feel that certain advise is inappropriate and that you feel you were falsely accused by me.

I did agree with you on the other thread that harsh words were used in some posts and were not helpful to the OP. I did want to disagree on two counts....first that man bashing and telling someone to get away from a spouse are two different things....and second, that telling someone to get "away" is not necessarily telling them to divorce or telling her never to come back. In my opinion, most of the posters were telling her to take a break and clear her head. She clearly needed to calm down and heal a bit so she could see things more clearly -- and perhaps see her husband more accurately too.

I know you don't agree with me. You have made that clear. Which is fine. You caused me to stop and think thru my position....something that is healthy and something I appreciate. That is all I am trying say. Agree to disagree. Yes. what a good idea. And if I haven't explained that I understand your point of view better, I am sorry. Just don't like things exaggerated as they seem to be in this case. And I said so. If I falsely accused you or misread your intent, I am sorry.

There is a bias against men in the Church at times. We hear leaders address morality as if females are the helpless little damsels in distress and the ultimate manefestation of purity and innocense, especially in regards to premarital sex and pornography. These boards seem to convey that view at times. It took a bunch of threads that seemed to associate porn and men and a lot of posts of scientific data for some of the posters to admit that females look at porn too and do other things. And my personal experience has taught me that there are a lot of females out there, non LDS and LDS, who are all sweet and innocent by day but have a libido that turns them into lustful virtual vampires if you take them out on a date at night.

Women verbally and physically abuse children more than men, yet men commit murder and rape more than women. No gender is superior in the morals and ethics context. So we should try to stear away form gross generalizations in regards to men are so this or that.

Gross generalizations, in general, are dangerous.

I never thought my generalizations were that gross, maybe a bit crass but never gross. :)

That's a dangerous statement, Ben.

(Alright, I admit it was too obvious. But what was I to do? Pass up the opportunity?)
