"Feminine" or Emotional Men

[Robert.Evans]

It is swell, considering nothing about feminism encourages you to physically attack men for no particular reason.

Which means what exactly?

Your post is unsatisfactory. I mean the general "your." Not actually "your" post per se, just posts very much having all the same traits as "yours."

I hope the joke is as obvious as I think it is.

Hilarious.

As in, feminism is not related to the couple you mentioned...

Hilarious.

I thought you might like that one.

The general feminist attitude though prevails. So how would you think they were separate?

Um... the general feminist attitude, and the condoning of any woman to do any douchey thing in the world that you can come up with, are two entirely separate things. There are no feminists writing suggesting anyone to do anything like what you have described. To put it quite bluntly, feminism does not mean "anything terrible thing a girl does is okay with us!" It also seems disingenuous to suggest that the actions of a woman who may or may not even be a feminist herself, somehow represents "feminism" with her actions.

So what did you do, paint flowers on the bombs?
Shame that some women can't be happy with who you are. Why do they insist on trying to prove that they can do what a man can do? Why not prove they can do what a woman can do? Which apparenly you don't understand.... 'archery'!

Shame that you can't be happy with who some women are. My grandmother was a Marine in WWII; would you have scolded her for "trying to be a man" or whatever?

A marine? meaning she did what? And no, I would not allow her in the forces, though i have to add, you shouldn't kill anyway.

It was poorly worded and meant women in general. I should always assume I have someone sensitive on the other end I guess who can't read between the lines

Welcome to Robert Evans' spin zone. ^_^

You certainly do. Now you have confessed it, you better make sure you live by it.

You as well, kind sir.

Now, can you take that in the context that it was meant or are you going to take it as a threat.

lol

Good choice I think. Women should have a quiet and gentle spirit, to paraphrase the NT, which is difficult to do if you are in charge of others, in my most humble opinion.

Saint Paul, is that you?

I don't know what she did; records are scarce. I don't think women were allowed in combat at the time. That being said, women have been fighting for millenia. Look at Boudicca or Joan of Arc.

Joan of Arc never actually fought in battle. She was more of a mascot than anything else. She did wear male attire, though.

Huh, the more you know.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Huh, the more you know.

There are stories that she would weep and pray over the bodies of both the fallen French and the English. She apparently didn't like violence.

 

[vaguelyhumanoid]

That makes more sense of her being a Catholic saint.

Lol, there are some very nasty Saints. Joan was my Patron, though.

Who are the nastiest, I wonder?

Saint Paul, is that you?

Paul was an apostle. do you disagree with God's choice? Or do you follow the world?

Often times, women in the military back then fulfilled more support roles. Besides in medical, they were also administrative, supply, and more. The military is much more than just fighting, it takes a lot to make the machine work and most service people fill supporting roles.

I have heard some women say about there partner that they want to share there emotions with them. Now, personally, I do but not with everyone. So take this as constructive criticism, but people seem to go through there life like they are asleep, especially men.
Now, I don't know if this perception comes because I have Bipolar Disorder, but I really see men ( and women too !) deal with perceived problems either nonchalantly, or I get the feeling they really couldn't give !@#$%^&*()_ . I am surprised by there ability to deal with problems that way.
But touching on men's inability to share there emotions with a female or male partner, do you feel like women are given permission to express there emotion ? Do you believe, as I do, that society wants you to "be a man" and suck it up ? Do you also believe because men do not have either the vocabulary or the "permission" to get emotional ( angry/ sad / whatever), that men do the majority of violent crimes ?
Let me hear your opinion.

I'm not sure if society is particularly against men showing emotion, not in the modern western world anyway. The vast majority of men I know show their emotions all the time (we're a group of friends in our 20s). And on TV over here in the UK, emotional or as some people may label it, feminine men are a part of most shows. If you were to watch an episode of x-factor, men openly cry more often than the women lol

On a personal level, I'm not a very emotional guy, not because I am worried about show casing my feelings but simply because I like dealing with things on my own and share my personal thoughts with a very small, handful of people.

Aye, as a former marine friend (a killing machine) told me, 90% of military personnel are REMFs.
(Had I been drafted, that would'a been my aspiration.)

Your aspiration would have been to make bad decisions that get people killed? . There is a difference between support personnel and those without experience put in charge. I wouldn't say 90% of the military are remfs. Though I did know a few. An LT I worked for was one. Thought he was hot **** as a pilot and knew everything. My Chief had to redo most of LT's paperwork and the ace pilot himself once brought his helo at such a bad angle he actually hit the tail rotor blades on the ground and tore the tips off of them. Yep, real hot shot pilot right there.

I'd be more of a Sgt Bilco.

To my friend, one is either out there killing *****s, or one is a REMF.
