Airhead - there are many of us here who empathise with how you are feeling, and unfortunately Rob doesn't appear to be one of those. Perhaps with maturity he will learn when to speak and when to shut up.

Rob The Badger · 30 Mar 2005, 16:46

Maturity is of little relevance, here...

You know what.. My longest relationship was only 2 weeks...
This guy Mikko was visiting and he was going home but we had I fight... And I never heard of him anymore...

I think that he was upset about that I´m strong minded and no-one and I mean NO-ONE can say to me what to do... That´s my temper.. No-one can dominate me... I think that´s why I don´t have boyfriend.. Maybe I´m too strong minded...

Biter · 31 Mar 2005, 23:28

No such thing babe. Just been dumped myself and facing major nastiness as a result so i know how you feel

Rob The Badger · 01 Apr 2005, 12:15

Nothing wrong with being strong minded, but of couurse you need to make compromises, no use being a battleaxe.

Airhead - sorry to here that - there are some horrible people about - Take care

I think alot of the "superiority" issues that some people have stems from their upbringing actually. Most of us are moulded by our environment.

I know both men and women who are some of the most agressive, nasty "me" people in the world!! Members of either sex can be brought up to be way beyond "strong minded" - unfortunately, some actually cross into thinking that they will and can do anything they please with no consequence.

Me - I've done my best to teach my boys that ALL human beings should be treated with respect. Of course, neither has reached the teen years yet so I still don't know that my methods have worked completely.

I've tried to show them by example that men and women are partners in a relationship and that each sex has it's own strengths and weaknesses.

Airhead, you have unfortunately encountered one of the neanderthal male minority (yes, minority) who is of the opinion that any female is a male's plaything. I feel your pain and empathize with the situation. However, one piece of advice . . . do not answer his physical attack with one of your own.

Doing so will only give him cause to further escalate the situation. Go to the autthorities - at school, work, or legal and fight that way. Get every witness and fellow assaultee you can muster. You may be surprised how often this "man" (and I use the term loosely) has attempted the same on another.
Fight back by using your brains instead because obviously, this nitwit, has little or none!

Well put Debbi

Remember airhead - YOU HAVE RIGHTS

SEXUAL HARASSMENT - Sexual harassment is unwanted, deliberate or repeated sexual behavior: comments, gestures or touching. The person hearing, seeing or being touched does not want this attention and is frequently uncomfortable and embarrassed. Sexually suggestive objects, signs, magazines or pictures may be sexual harassment, too.

If it continues - report it - someone must stop this person. He might think it's funny - but it is not & he has no right to do such a thing.

Then don't post on it - leave it alone - but others are interested & concerned about a fellow human being

Pixie · 09 Apr 2005, 15:41

Woah Rob! If anything happened (gender is irrelevant) to ANYONE on this forum which distressed them and which was caused by someone else, surely the first response should be to provide a calming influence...??

...anyway radical feminism is something completely different - and I've never heard of anyone actually believing in it...I assume YOU are a feminist anyway, as the only relevant principle is that everyone should be treated equally, and that means whomever is subjected to violence of any kind should be given equal support...

Hope you're feeling better airhead - watch out for the shock kicking in after the anger...xx

Rob The Badger · 09 Apr 2005, 16:49

People aren't equal.

Exactly - we are all here - I think - not just for the love of Meat but also to show support for fellow members - come rain or shine

Youre right...some people care about the feelings of others and think before they type. And I know thats bitchy but its true.

airhead · 11 Apr 2005, 21:39

I wanna thank yous lot. A lot has happened, still hate the little arses guts, but was forced to accept his "apology". Did it for the only fact that i'm friends with his twin and it was half an hour of arguing with him until i gave in for peace's sake. Watcha do for a friend, eh?

Rob, people are equal, just that some like to think their bigger and better.

Thank you, i love a all! :)

Rob The Badger · 12 Apr 2005, 22:57

Please don't assume I don't care...I care about justice and being fair. Forgive and forget and all that, love thy neighbor and whatnot, turn the blind cheek and all that jazz...
Pragmatism is better than melodrama anyday...now please stop with the jabs, it's getting rather mean...
