Rev:
I was not directing this personallay toward Mystic. I have not been on this website long enough to even develop any sense of what she is like or an on-line relationship. I am writing about the concept of flaunting, in general. By ideaology I mean the invisble and dominant values behind action (I am using this term in a sociological fashion). I am wondering if Mystic did not mean "flaunting" in its literal mean -- where that is how i am intrpeting her usage of the word.
Again, the underlying ideology or unconcious goals of flaunting is public humiliation and showing public domination
Mystic:
Please keep in mind my comments were not to be directed toward as a person. I do not even know you. My comments are strictly direct toward the very real ideas that come from words.
The literal use of "flaunt" - at most (pay attention to how I say AT MOST) - is that it's attention-seeking.
When I say "flaunt", I'm just showing what I got. Period. Like my hair, my legs, my figure, my manicure/pedicure, my talents, my knowledge, my wisdom (you get the picture, right?).
You're grasping, hon. You just took off on a whole adventure into another world after the mention of the word flaunting.
Maybe if I say another word you can go off on another tangent.....let's see....how about the word apple?
