quote: ORIGINAL: yellovv i'm a man and i know many other men in all races, we tend to agree that we assume and rush to judgement quite often...vanillia or not...if you know anyone who's not like this and he's a male, then he is an anomoly I find this an incredibly sexist view. Any outlook which claims to know something about someone based on something as arbitrary and subjective as gender is flawed in my opinion. Where does "male" stope?

No matter -how- you define male, you still don't know anything about the person you're defining except what gender they see themself as. You certainly have no way into their worldview.

I drop out of chat without notice. It sucks, but I can't always explain why I've vanished. Occationally, when someone is harassing me, or simply talking in a way I'd prefer not to be addressed, I will simply drop the chat. I'll admit, this is -not- polite of me, however sometimes you're not left a polite out in a conversation. I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR SITUATION. I'm simply offering two other possibilities.

quote: ORIGINAL: topcat M. Yellovv- First off, my sincere complements- you have started from a poor premise (IMO), but you are hanging in there and responding respectfully- Thank you. Now, I am sure you can come up with a dozen reasons that person might have gone 'poof' other then their being false about hir gender, can't you? I wonder if your jumping to that conclusion reveals a preoccupation on your part more than anything else? I don't want to give you a had time- I really did want to salute your ability to stick with it after a less thatn great start, and your calm responces to the sort of ribbing that others have taken as attacks in the past.. welcome aboard stay warm, Lawrence i nood to you topcat as i still stand firm on view and my reasoning. people may not agree with me, but this is how i see it. i just reread the thread and yes, i do come off as a complete dick...what can i say, i typed quickly and some of my responses were not completely described. i respect all the women who have responded, but it seems as though i have become an enemy [&o] btw, thank you for the welcome...been apart of this community for less than a day now

Yes, it is a wonderful thing that you have manners and are considerate. In an ideal world everyone would be. Unfortunately that is not the case and there are alot of people who do not care about what the person on the other end of the monitor thinks. That allows them to hit the power button with no thought of anybody else. @}PaPa's}slave}-- Ai! laurië lantar lassi...

That's not the position I'm taking. I am most certainly not a man. I'm not going to speculate on the other person since we know nothing about him other than the fact that he stopped chatting with you. ~stef

hi Angelica, Yes, I did catch that, but considered it more 2 different questions and decided to respond to the one that I felt like talking about :) As far as the origanal post... Well, I live close to the west coast, and have known people there all my life. I don't see it as regional thing, more as a ::ducking:: age thing. Having a children that are within 4 years of your age, (and being 20 years older than you), I have sadly watched how jaded many young people are. Luckily, I have seen many learn that everything isn't as negative as their generation wishes to believe. On a side note,, I am curious to where the logic of the picture comes from at all (unless it was an nude, which if you ever read the boards you will see aren't as appreciated as males want them to be)? You have one in your profile, she already knows what you look like.

I like the way you'er saying what you have to say. This is mostly just a big issue for me, especially with the current emphasis on the definition of marriage. I adamantly dislike generalizations based on gender and wanted to stress that gender is pretty much as arbitrary as anything else.

::laughing:: does the fact that you skipped my suggestion about it possibly being age mean it's possibly close?

quote: ORIGINAL: EStrict ::laughing:: does the fact that you skipped my suggestion about it possibly being age mean it's possibly close? O, sorry Sandy, i didn't see it...i'm a bit shock to see how fast this topic has been responded to. i honestly doubt that it's an age issue as maturity doesn't corralate with age. Maybe I’m wrong but I always use this analogy to explain it….when I was 15 and I wanted to ask a girl on a date, she said I was too immature and she went with an 18 yr old guy. When I was 18, it happened again and the girl went with a 25 yr old guy. Now I’m 22 and when I ask a girl my age, she says I’m not mature enough and she heads towards a guy in his late 30’s. I understand that every woman aren’t like this, but you get the idea that age and maturity, or a more “clam demeanor” has any correlation because everytime i get to that age or now other guys who are that age, usually or still is quite immature. it's just a perception issue that's the problem

EStrict -> RE: guys who pretend to be girls (10/24/2004 11:42:04 PM)
Ahh but see, again that is a different issue. I never spoke about maturity. My 17 year old son is one of the most mature people I have evern known. I am speaking generations and expectations. I know 50 year olds (male and female) who behave worse than my 2 year old in actions. That is a lack of maturity, not a lack of age. I am speaking more the way peers in high school decide what is cool or not,,, or determine what is just stupid.... You say every man you know. My point is, you are only 22,,, and were you may be more mature than the other 22 year olds you know, in this matter you may be just jaded because of how those who are you age react. The men I know in their 60's have things that they react to differently than the men I know in their 40's, and the 20 year olds I know... that doesn't mean they all have the same level of maturity as everyone else who is their age.

Well, Well! I had things to do today and came home so tired I took a nap! And look at what I missed! Welcome to the boards yellowvv. I can't really add much to what has already been discussed except this. I am sorry you had someone leave you in chat, for whatever reason. It happens all the time. I seem to have the opposite problem, in that I am polite and have a difficult time ending the chat with a sub/slave! LOL Now, I do hear from male subs all the time who are nervous as they find they have been chatting with males who represent themselves as a FemDom. Haven't heard of the other way 'round, but I guess anything is possible. And yes, if that was the case, you should have been told, but it isn't good to jump to conclusions. I did notice you use the word "assume" a few times, so, oh this is so trite...(ahem!) "when you assume you make and ass out of 'u' and me." Also, take another look at your favorite saying attached to your posts. I really hope you don't feel that way! Welcome, again! Sorry I missed this while it was happening!

BeachMystress -> RE: guys who pretend to be girls (10/25/2004 12:44:48 AM)
smiles I have had a lot of fun reading this thread. Thank you folks. ok, yellovv, the avatar LadyAngelika uses is a drawing by Namio Harukawa. There are two people in it.. one is a man suspended up side down. Does that make it easier for you to figure it out? And IMHO, if it would have been a man posing as a woman, he probably would have had a fake photo all ready to send. You probably hit a woman who for whatever reason, bailed. It happens to all of us. Do not take it personally or be upset by it. Shrug, sigh and move on. Welcome to the boards.

Sorry I missed this while it was happening! yes i do assume because it's a natural reaction...i did say it many times because i am not trying to hide this fact, but from some of the replies i've gotten, i get the feeling that i may be the only one in this board that does this? i know that this can't be possible as people assume many things, it just may be that they don't do it in a negative outlook. O, and for my sig...i thought it was funny so i used it, i don't believe in that honestly because i do understand and see that my life would be sh!t if i lived that way and i cherish my youth and my life.

Whats the purpos/point of it? What in the world are they getting from it?
