Only in your own mind, honey.

Exactly. When I use a word like that on these forums, I mean it as an insult.

:?:
I thought that you were flirting.
Well, I'll take as a flirt, even if you dish it out as an insult.

Definitely not flirting in my case. It's basically an alternative to calling someone an uneducated child, if you do it to someone not a close friend or in your immediate family. It's like if a Japanese man were to refer to a colleague, with whom he has no relationship outside of the office, as 'Hirata-kun' instead of 'Hirata-san.' Or, even worse, as 'Hirata-chan,' something reserved for small children and (sometimes) young women. There's nothing wrong with the suffixes -kun and -chan in and of themselves; Mr. Hirata and his siblings and parents might refer to each other with -chan, for example, and his close friends probably refer to him with -kun. For a colleague to do it would be a dire insult, though.

Edit: It really grates on my when someone uses these terms on me, but I'll make allowances if someone is old enough to be my grandparent.

At the hospital I refer to patients as 'sir' or 'ma'am,' and it really bothers me when some nurses/caretakers call patients 'honey' or 'sweetie.' It really bothers a lot of patients, too; I have been able to work with patients that other staff said were "difficult" simply by addressing them with a little human respect.

I have talked. You just don't understand, so... yeah.

Btw, there are 18 pages in this thread and no ofense by any women because of my misandry so far... it's funny how you don't give a crap about men. I would call it prejudice and misandry, but your heads are too hard for this to get in.

No, you don't stand corrected, because you don't know that you were "bested by a greater wit" since my first post.

Personally I can't understand why some members of this site are obsessed with feminism or so called "nice guys".

then i challenge you to continue to tell me that "men are oppressed too so women can't say they are the marginalised ones anymore".

This is one of the most ridiculous straw men I have ever seen on this forum.

You: "Men who advocate for their rights are illegitimate. Men are not oppressed."
Me: "Men have some disadvantages relative to women, but generally are better off."
You: "Oh, so women aren't marginalised? What about sex slavery eh?"

Not only did I not say that women are not marginalised - quite the opposite - but imagine if I had said "women should stop campaigning for equal pay, homosexuals are executed in Uganda and Iran!" You're acting just like the MRAs you claim to despise, behaving as if rights are a zero-sum game, and trivialising very real problems on the grounds that other problems also exist. If you were truly interested in equality, you wouldn't make light of the attempts of other rights campaigners.

I asked the same question earlier in this thread and have yet to get a coherent answer.

We have to be obsessed about something, don't we? The Feminists obsess about Feminism, and the Nice Guys obsess about being nice.

The Libertarians obsess about Libertarianism. The "Conservatives" obsess about whatever is on Fox News. The gunslingers obsess about guns.

Plus, if we get involved in a discussion about Feminism, then the Feminists will flirt with us. Some of us find the sexual tension to be enjoyable. :wink:

If we try to argue with Libertarians, "Conservatives" and gunslingers, then they will just get mad and tattle on us, and get us in trouble.

I resemble this remark.

I only did that ONE TIME, and the only reason I did that was because I got mod-spanked first, probably because someone on YOUR side tattled on me to begin with. I'm not pointing fingers and don't plan to, but I find it odd and reasonably suspicious that I got called out for responding to something you started. Sorry you had to be a victim of me making a point. I do take some comfort, as you should as well, in knowing that bus-throwing works both ways.

For the record, I harbor no hard feelings for anyone here.

I suppose that makes sense.

I just have trouble making sense of the sexual mind at times.

Carry on! :D

One thing that I've noticed here, too: people tend to be extremely specialized about their obsessions. People who are obsessed with guns would not touch a topic like this with a 10-foot pole, and vice-versa. The gun discussions can go on for scores and scores of pages, and I'm barred from participating in them, for fear of "riling up" somebody. Maybe it is just as well--"riling up" a gunslinger can be bad for your health these days.

They are too busy polishing their gun barrels to be interested in talk about sex. :D

I have always found it amusing that a man who is a ballbuster is usually seen as a powerful leader who makes sure things get done and get done right, whereas a woman who is a ballbuster is usually seen as some kind of unacceptable monster (or just a "b*tch" to a lot of people).
