Having read the posts about what the OP's girlfriend was saying, I do think standing up to her was a good idea, but it maybe could have been gone about differently, perhaps with either the direct approach, i.e. "I don't appreciate you talking to me like that all the time", or with some gently teasing barbs, for example with the dancing, "Well, you seem to be quite the expert on being a man. Is there something you're not telling me?", or with the complaining,"You'd certainly know, what with all the complaining you do?"

The second joke would be very offensive for the typical Eastern girl.


If she doesn't want to be offended, she shouldn't complain about so many (perfectly harmless) things that he does.


Double standards, tell me about it.


I think Who_Am_I was being sarcastic there. Funny how women are the only ones setting boundaries, have anyone ever heard of men setting boundaries and I'm excluding asexuals here... sorry :P


Oh, I was deathly serious.

Since you seem to be implying that women won't let men have boundaries, I hereby use the authority invested in me as a woman to allow you to have boundaries and to state and defend said boundaries.

A man with boundaries is like owning a bag full of Zim dollars.


So let's say that what I'm into is sodomising guys with my deodorant can. (I'm not, just to be clear.)
Oh, what's that, you don't want it? Sounds like a boundary to me.

Are we really comparing apples with apples here?

Are we really dodging the question here?
