Then they call us misogynists.
Yeah, 'cause you aspie males never complain about NT guys giving you a hard time. Only aspie women do that about NT women, because sexism.
I thought we agreed to not talk with each other again, didn't you add me to your block list?
Yes I did, but it doesn't seem to work because I can still see all of your posts on every thread. I don't know why they bothered to add that "foe" feature if it doesn't even work.

...probably the same reason they created a women's forum for men to complain about women-- lack of thinking it through.

Then have some self control and ignore my posts.

. I've never been that active on this board before.From now one, every time I see a lady who is criticizing men on L&D about how much they whine and complain about women, I am gonna reply her with a a link to this thread and with some like "Before you patronize us, go see your own gender here how much they complain about women".
/ anyway...go on with your posts, this thread will be...very very useful.
Here's a quote from Boo, explaining that he's trolling the Women's Forum as some kind of misguided retaliation for women posting things he doesn't like in the L&D forum. In what possible way could this kind of speech be regarded as respectful toward women?

There also members like wilburforce, Yippy, waterfall,....and few times androbot but not much (yes, I am naming them as to be fair, no, you are not one of them at all, hurtloam is not one, iliketree is not, sweetleaf is not, Olivemom is not, the lady mods are not...and many others - most of the ladies here I have no issue with at all; and those latter had objected to real sexist posts before, when it's really sexist) - who so often interpret posts made by males (including mine) from sexist perspective - and project women-hating intentions on us - they try so hard to interpret stuff between the lines as sexist.
You know, most males are heterosexual, so normally most men on L&D will talk about personal experiences with women, which might be bad/bitter experiences as well.
My "trolling" post (as named by Yippy) is simply a reminder that women can also have bad experiences with women (or men), like how we've seen it in the other thread and may talk stuff that might sound bitter- anyone who seeking to be offended will be able to find an interpretation to be offended - if I am going to be extra judgmental then I could judge on the bitter tone they used of their personal stories with women, and I could nitpick stuff from their their posts to make them (the female posters who told their bad experiences with women) look and sound as misogynist. My "trolling" is very inspired from the ways of Yippy and co. in particular
.Some points:
-There are gender war legacy issues. The folks affected by that gender war stuff have sensitivities as a result.
-Everyone has had their own exposure to negative experiences with the opposite sex. That can make them biased.
-Women in general irrespective of neurotype will experience frequent misogyny as a part of just being alive.
-People with social deficits, will probably experience more misandry/misogyny as a result of cheesing people off/saying the wrong thing and so forth.
-There are cultural differences, what is considered sexist to someone in a progressive country may not be viewed as sexist by someone from a more traditional country. The women you have named are American and Canadian, fairly progressive countries, I don't consider them to be trolls, they disagree with sexism when they see it.
I have watched Androbot be so very agreeable and reasonable, even empathetic, only for you L&D guys to turn her into the whipping girl. Not cool. It sends out a warning message to other female posters.

This is my opinion about all this. We are on an internet forum. It is entertainment and socializing. Some people do come here for support they need from others and some people come here to pass the time. Other than serious issues in the Haven and such, nothing that is said is really going to have a big impact on anyone's life. It's things typed by basically mostly strangers on the internet who have no control over what we do, where we go, what opportunities we have, etc. In other words somebody here who is a misogynist isn't actually doing anybody any harm. He's not refusing to admit us to college, and he's not firing us for telling him to keep his hands off our asses, he's not telling us we can't be a cop or a doctor or anything else. He doesn't refuse to give us a loan or refuse to rent us a house or finance our car. His words and actions can't actually do anything to us or have any effect on our lives. If a misogynist or a misandrist or whatever says something on here we can either tell him off or scroll by. He can't actually do anything to us, and if he's getting his jollies bothering ladies online then he doesn't really have much real world power and influence to begin with so he's no threat.
We are not such delicate little flowers that we need to remove and ban people for their opinions and thoughts and views are we? I thought the whole point of feminism is that we AREN'T delicate little flowers who need somebody else to step in and fix things for us because we are just too fragile to do it ourselves and will get the vapors and fall into a swoon if we have to ignore a douchebag or tell off a jerk or anything else. This isn't confronting somebody in power and authority in your life for God's sakes. It's ignoring somebody or flaming them instead on a forum on the internet. It's not all that important in the big scheme of things, and if somebody feels that it is such a huge, major deal that it deserves all sorts of attention and discussion and action, then maybe they need to recalibrate "important" and put things in perspective. Such as the internet vs real life. Such as a typed message by someone you will probably never meet or interact with elsewhere vs somebody who is actually causing a real problem other than twisting panties in a wad.
Basically, ignore them. As a guy I used to work for was fond of saying when he was sick of somebody's s**t, f**k em if they can't take a joke.
It's possible to ignore. Really. Even for us delicate and fragile and emotionally brittle women and even for us aspies who despite being on the spectrum do still have the power to use one finger to scroll past somebody we don't like.

Fine, I omit androbot :-/ I was kinda hesitated abt her - she did some drama before on me by wrongly interpreting stuff I said (upside down its true meaning).
Cultural differences? No, it's not that, the no-issue ladies are also Americans, Canadians, Brits...etc. And almost all are feminists in its true meaning.
