It's ok... I'm sorry I said that. I didn't mean it to be rude. I'm glad that it was therapeutic for you in some way. I'm truly sorry you are having a rough time right now.
And believe me, the male perspective is taken into consideration. I would HATE to be a man! I'm in no way a feminist (isn't that a shocker :)). I do take advantage of situations in which I really shouldn't because I feel I have an upper hand, due to being "flirty." But, I honestly and genuinely feel that both parties gain from the experience. Say for instance today, I flirted with a desk clerk to gain information about a prof that I had to see and didn't have a phone number for. Now, I got the phone number, but he received attention that he wouldn't have had that day. That makes it an even deal, see??? And I don't discriminate. I flirt with old men while waiting in the doctor's office just to pass the time... Now, I ask you, is that so wrong? I think men do it too.. And if you were in my area, I'd flirt with you just the same :)
I don't think you need the greatness of a woman in your corner. I think you have the greatness inside of you. It took quite a bit of courage to post what you did. You had to know the backlash you'd receive. That's courage! Not that I agree with your post, but I agree with posting what you feel, in a civil manner of course. You could have left out the insult (I'm only joking dear :))
I'm all about speaking your mind, even if others don't agree. It's better to say what you think and get ripped apart for it than to just go with the herd when you don't like what they're saying!
Now, what can I do to make you change your opinion???? :)
