So, obviously, feminists will have an issue with that view.


feminist do not represent women,alot of women hate feminist.

Feminism is not one single, unified group. Just like not all animal's right activists are nutcases from PETA who force their kids to have a vegan diet, not all feminists are like Andrea Dworkin.

OTOH, a lot of words get spoiled by a few people. I'm white, but I probably wouldn't call myself an Aryan (even though, technically, I am). I also don't see anything wrong with "white pride" other than negative associations. If "feminist" is adopted by enough nasty, destructive, narcissistic people, is it too much to ask the nicer women that you allude to to distinguish themselves from that?

Yes, I've noticed. :roll:
Quote:
1- In every relation _ friendship or dating _ there is a person who is dominant. Human behaviour 101.

You are not correct. First, there academic term is "ethology," not "behavior." For humans, dominance theory is usually covered in psychology and communication classes... and, yes, I have taken both, and done well in them, as well as ethology classes. Work groups will almost always have a leader, who may or may not be "dominant" in the sense that lay people usually think about, and probably is not "dominant" in the ethological sense (controlling access to scarce resources). Other people will take on other necessary group roles: peace-maker, translator, representative, etc. In friendships and partnerships, it is unlikely for one partner or the other to be dominant in the ethological sense; one partner or the other might be the leader in some situations, and not in others. For example, with my last relationship, my boyfriend was the leader in the kitchen because he was a better cook than me. He also usually set the schedule when we were doing social activities around town. When we were camping out in the boonies, I set the schedule; this wasn't because he was "dominant" in town and I was "dominant" while camping, it was because he enjoyed town activities more than me and I enjoyed wilderness activities more than him.

But that doesn't fit your convenient little narrative of dominance and submission, does it?

2- I keep being flat-out right.

Only in your own mind, honey.

3- I'll adress two paragraphs in one: that post judgement is confirmation bias, not objective post judgement. Hence, a prejudice.

This might help you:

Quote:
4- Would you please adress the point, then? (If you don't remember, it's the argument of the primate behaviour)

No, actually, it's still argument about you not knowing the actual definitions of basic English words, and pretending to be psychic. Also, your fisking sucks; please take the time to use quote-brackets.
Quote:
6- You're lying now. You must be pretty desperate.... you said explicity, in brakets, that you didn't mean to be sarcastic with that observation.

:roll:
Dude. See the dictionary above. Saying 'I'm not being sarcastic' means, roughly, 'I'm not deliberately misstating this in a bitterly humorous way.' I accompanied 'I'm not being sarcastic' with 'I've seen this actual behavior on this forum.'
Seriously.

Quote:
7- The emotional impulses that everyone has but that you're not even aware of. You're 38 and still not aware.

You said I was being emotional - with the implication of 'more emotional than usual,' or 'more emotional than normal,' with respect to a specific comment that I had made. Given that I have the typical Asperger's issue of not being emotional enough, I'm curious about what you specifically meant, especially with regard to that comment.
Quote:
8- Do your wrok, honey, as I did mine.

The burden of proof is on the person making the affirmative claim or accusation.
Quote:
9- Thank you. You just admited one of my points: you can have negative feelings and not be a bad person if you don't act based on them. Meaning, I can be a good person and have prejudice.

Not all bad feelings are equally bad, and not all bad actions are equally bad. Saying that a person can still be good if they have some prejudices... yes. But having prejudices as a minor part of your personality is a different thing from being a prejudiced person, as a major part of your personality. It's like the difference between being angry (temporary) or being an angry person (all the time).
Quote:
10- Wow you are serious! 8O

So, yeah: you were lying.
Quote:
11- You've lost the train of thought. Read the thread again because you don't even know what you're talking about anymore. I was puting you in either the nice girls or the nice girls (TM) category. If you say you're in neither than you define yourself as bad person? If so, why are you even arguing about this?

Dude....
I'm disagreeing with you about what the point is. That doesn't make me wrong or bubble-headed. Also? saying I am neither does not automatically make me a "bad person."
Quote:
12- You'd be surprised.

No, I don't think that I would be. You haven't said a single novel, surprising, or even very interesting thing in this entire thread; you misuse basic English terminology; your logic is a complete fail; and you not only have the Aspie trait of completely lacking a Theory of Mind, but you seem not to even be capable of understanding, or to be uninterested in understanding on an intellectual level, that there is such a thing. You have done nothing but parrot pop-psychology and pretend that you are psychic, and then throw fits when yo are told that you are not psychic and that pop psychology isn't accurate.

edit: this isn't worth arguing any more, especially given that there's a problem with the usage of basic English. Modus Ponens, you get the last word for now.


1- That's cute.

2- Well, since you have brought the "aspiness" into the game, let me tell you: you have 8 more years than I do and, yet, you have about half of my life experience _ insight into the workings of the mind included.

3- Well, I'm not a native english speaker, nor did I ever live in an english speaking country. Yet I'm absolutely certain that I speak well enough to convey the idea I was expressing, were you not anal retentive.

4- "Oh, mustn't adress the main argument! Must keep throwing dirt into the guy's eyes!"
:roll:
Do you think I have time and patience to adress your points in a very oderly fashion? If you repeatedly made points worth of it, it's possible that I would. However, you keep refering to me as a pseudo-psychic. That deserves zero intelectual respect.

5- Lying your a** out of your own pit again.

6- Either you're lying again, or you have a bad memory (neither a new thing from you in this discussion).
I said:
I do not have a problem since I am openly misandrist and misogynist. You are the one who, like everyone else in this world, has these emotional impulses and still don't admit them.

7- No. The burden of proof lies with the person who claims that, although humans are primates, their sexual behaviour is different from the other primates. That is the extraordinary claim and you have to prove it. Not with politically correct propaganda. With facts.

8- So, again, you admit it: you are prejudiced (although, possibly, not in a strong sense). Therefore, by your own standards, you are not a nice person. You are (at best) a nice girl (TM), the homologous group of the group so hated by these feminists.

9- I was lying? That doesn't even make sense. As I said before, I am not a psychic, nor am I pretending to be one. Just like I know what you feel when you hit a piece of furniture with your pinky, because I have one, I know how all people feel on many things. That's called experience, not psychic phenomena. Is that so hard to understand?

10- If your point is that I'm pretending to be a psychic, create a new thread to make a fool out of yourself, please. This is to discuss the ridiculous denial of the friendzone. And my contention, related to this topic is that these are the feminists who fight the internal fight of denial of desires of submission to males.

11- Ugh... do I have to remind you of the pinky analogy? Not only I'm aware that people have different motivations on a certain level, I'm aware that almost all people have the same motivations on an even deeper level, with little variations. You're still at the previous level. Therefore, you're right: it is not of much gain to be discussing this _ except it's me who do not gain anything. It is fun though, I admit that.

If you wish to respond, please adress the main argument, from which the contention follows, about the sexual behaviour of humans vs the sexual behaviour of other primates. The burden of proof is with you.

your belief that everyone is compelled to hate everyone else is false. just because you feel that way you cannot assume that everyone does. this is the theory of mind business that was pointed out to you earlier that you ignored. you are a human being--but it is a logical fallacy to assume that because you are human, and you have certain feelings and react to situations in certain ways, that ALL HUMANS feel the same as you and react the same as you. For example--everyone feels pain when they hurt themselves: some people will deal with that by crying, some will jump around and swear, some will get angry at themselves. this is because human beings are UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS.

this is also a logical fallacy--you are assuming that all primates' sexual behaviour is the same: they are not. chimpanzee sexuality is quite different from that of bonobos, and they are two of the most closely related species of large primates. before you tear someone else up for their "ignorance" about primate sexuality, make sure you know what you're talking about first.

@ModusPonens: LKL and I are typically on opposite ends of arguments, but what she said about burden of proof is true. Whoever makes an affirmative claim is obligated to support that claim with evidence. It can't be with someone just making extraordinary claims, the reason being that exactly what an "extraordinary claim" IS exactly is itself debatable.

And typically "extraordinary claims" arguments are not used in this way. What I've always heard was "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." That's just anti-intellectual, dishonest goal-post moving. So even if LKL WERE making extraordinary claims, which I don't think she is, then you'd still be in the wrong.

I should distinguish myself, because of some women that 99,5% of the average people have never heard of, dont even know of their existence, and dont have any importancy on normal life, only because of a few guy, having whatever issues and totally obsessing about that and searching on purpose for ridiculous videos of self-announced "speakers of feminism" that beside you, noone even knows of?

Look at all that topics in the forum here: So how many of those videos showing some weird gals and how many topics about nice guys and similar stuff, were posted by men, and how many actually by women? So who seems the one paying far more attention to all that stuff, and who seem to be the one, that are affected by that? ^^

If it would not be for the few bunch of guys here, that seem to have too much time to spend in internet for searching for stuff, they can obsess about, I would not even know of the existence of all of that, because of these people having absolutely no importancy to normal society.

So how the hell can I be expected to react and distinguish myself, that 99,5% of humanity does not even know about, if not being totally obsessive about finding anything totally unimportant, having totally no effect on daily life at all, that I can use as excuse to blame it for all my problems.

Oh, I have a mental disability. Could that be the reason, why 98% of people automatically reject me, as they do with everyone else as well, that has this mental disability? - No, it must be that unknown womans repsonsibility, saying some nonesen in an video, that 99,5% of people rejecting me, never heard of.

Oh, I have an mental disability. Could that be the reason, why I have a sh***y time finding a job, just as everyone else with the same mental disability? - No, it must be that unknown womans responsibility, saying some nonsense in an video, that 99,5% of people rejecting me, never heard of.

Maybe the information, has not become public, but Asperger is an mental disability (or special treat or however someone want to praise it) that causes us in average, to be sh***y at socializing. And because of us being sh***y at socializing, average people prefer to spend their time, with other people that are not as sh***y at socializing as we are. Thats normal, thats as well as we do: We prefer to spend time with the person, that causes us to be more happy, when we spend time with them. I am betting that 95% of the guys, blaming here some obscure wanna-be feminists, noone ever has heard of beside the ones posting that stuff always, for their problem in dating womens - have exactly the same problems when it comes to socialize with men as well. Simply because of it not being any male/female issues, but simply an "I am in general sh***y as hell at socializing." I mean, what for did you get your diagnosis, when you dont read at all, what you have been diagnosed for, and instead still search for weird reasons, what might be responsible, for us being sh***y at socializing and people rejecting us?

Exactly! Very good analogy! Everyone feels pain, but everyone reacts in its own way. That's exactly what I'm saying, but on an
emotional-impulse level. But if you want a demonstration I'll give it to you. In the following video Louis CK (stay with me), a brilliant comic, makes everyone expose their racist impulse. What you will see is a situation in which almost everyone exerts the deffense mechanism called reactive formation in psychoanalysis. But nevermind the technicalities. What is important to understand is the following: if you have a negative feeling/impulse, but you cannot accept it because you think it's very wrong, you imediatly (and without being aware of it) try to react with the opposite feeling. It's a sort of compensation on the surface for the negative feeling on the bottom. If you don't understand the point I'm trying to make after this, I don't know what to tell you. What I'm talking about happens shortly before 3:00, but you have to watch it from the begining.

About primate sexuality, relatively fair point, although very weak. I tried to google "list of matriarchal mammals" and there is nothing worth reading out of the search results. If there were many, I'm sure there would be a list. Not a proof, off course. This can be compared to newtonian fluids vs non-newtonian fluids. If you bring me a new compound which is fluid, I'll start by assuming it's newtonian, unless evidence suggests otherwise. In the same way, it's completely reasonable to assume that the behaviour I mentioned in primates (which, from what I gather, is the rule, not the exception; and even more compelling if you consider all mammals) is aproximately the same in humans.

hate to be a nit-picker, but that's actually not a reasonable assumption--otherwise assuming that humans get around via the trees like orangutans would also be a reasonable assumption, which it obviously is not. animal behavior is not newtonian physics. primate behaviour is extremely complex and diverse amongst the various species.

I am not sure of what was said in the subject, only caught some floating thoughts as I scanned the issues. so the argument you have with the poster is your own.

But I will say this, men and women are not built the same, we have different needs, nor only for our selves, but from each other. if this wasn't so then there would be no gender in our self identity. there is no such thing as equality between the sex's, we have different needs which helps define us and our relationships. this does not mean one sex is better or more then the other. if anything we need each other in order to grow. like two pieces of a puzzle we complement each other and the bigger picture, even though were not built the same.

I have the needs for sleeping, eating, keeping my body at an healthy temperature and playing a bit Civ5 tonight = engaging in an hobby. So exactly what about my emotional/psychical needs is so different to your needs? ^^ (That I have the physical need for tampons once a month, I know myself.)

i am "built" just as differently from other women as i am from men (obviously i am not speaking physiologically here because i am physiologically female). i have always FELT just as different from other women as i do from men. i don't feel i have much in common when it comes to how my mind works with what is generally regarded as "feminine", or with people who would describe themselves with that word. my needs in life never seemed to match those of my female friends growing up--nor would they now likely if i still had any female friends, which i don't. my best friend is male.

so how does your binary idea of gender deal with people like me? i guess we don't exist.

Still you not a male, so you do not truly know, your just assuming.
Without knowing what really goes on in a males mind you have nothing really to compare too.
And as such, even though you do not recognize it, you may still have a vary feminin personality, and if not that at least more of that of females needs.
The funny thing about humans, is that as everyone has slightly different genetics, so shall the variations of us. so there are some exceptions.
