Politics Please say rock bottom is getting close

Great. Forty nine years of my wife telling me what I think and how I feel and now you want to be the next one up.......maybe someday I'll get credit for an original thought......

 

Sorry you are confusing words. Never once did i tell you how you feel. I told you how your posts read. If you are unable to differentiate the two, I am sorry, I cant help you.
but like many things here, one statement gets twisted into another. All good. Used to it…

 

Lots of omissions and some truths. I found it funny. Im finding it even funnier how some flock to counter it, but never counter the lefts’ inaccuracies and omissions.

I never agreed with it or disagreed. But what i did know is it would undoubtedly be misperceived as me being the bad guy for posting what i considered humor.
Some funny shit!

 

I find the women’s rights portion to be pretty accurate. I find slashing the gov. Not so accurate.

I appreciate the dialogue but just read the few other posts. Violins etc.
childish posts.

I find it a huge double standard that only certain people are allowed to discuss certain things here, but those same people will assert themselves in any topic, period.
We could start with the double standard of how I've been berated for trying to explain how i felt a woman may feel about something, but yet women are fine telling men how they should think, or not think about things.

It is very difficult to find truly honest dialogue around here

cue the childish posts about violins etc.
some peoples’ hypocrisy knows no bounds.

 

Oh, women's rights.
An adjudicated sexual assaulter who has been charged with sexual assault by a dozen women, some underage. He brought rapist Tait brothers back. Two members of his cabinet credibly charged with rape. He wants to outlaw all abortion. Drastically cut education and public health,which women care a lot more about than tran women playing sports. Older women are more dependent on social security, which is being wrecked. Slash Medicaid and SNAP. Eliminate public schools. Yeah, women just love that.
Women's contributions erased from Pentagon Web site, Smithsonian and other government sites. Eliminate all programs in private companies that help women overcome discrimination.
Even if you believe bigoted unscientific claim trans women aren't women, that's not priority.
Deporting rapists? So thousands of random men dragged off the streets and sent to foreign concentration camps without charges or trial are all rapists? If I said something like that you would probably call me hysterical feminist man hater.

 

Nope. But what i wouldn't do is ask anyone if they have a violin. Id attempt to engage in a mature, respectful conversation. Not resort to childish antics masked with passive aggression.

 

Great post.

I think the women's rights is accurate because i do not see how allowing a male transgender compete with females is protecting women's rights and pushing for equality. By using the same standard, the numbers don't matter. Only a few or in mass, To me, its wrong and a huge double standard.

I agree i think most speak truly on their feelings. But i think their feelings are biased and far from impartial.

When one says “i think your posts read as…” and the response is “dont tell me how to feel…”

or when one says “i think that women might feel this way or that way” and the response is “a man is telling women how to feel”

There is a blatant twisting of the statements to feed a hostile emotion basically claiming another is bad, when that individual was simply trying to engage in intellectual conversation.

When these people twist things like that on me personally? When they are people I've gone out of my way to be kind to? I find it completely disrespectful and basically spreading lies about someone….me.

Ive never once called anyone a man hater or tell anyone how to think or feel.

It prompts me to ask, why would someone twist words in such a way if they didn't want to portray me as the bad guy?

Again, great post and i truly appreciate your efforts. I think you know i consider you a good friend even if it may not be reciprocated, but the reality is you are but one person on this forum and there are others who portray bitter hatred and twist things around to validify the hateful behavior.
This twisting behavior seems to be fairly unanimously supported around here simply by the lack of posts correcting those who twists words around.
So when i speak of double standards, it’s this right here.
Some will rail all day, every day about all the injustices going on, but support verbal inaccuracies and then trying to justify such inaccuracies with more spin.

Some people around here love to point fingers but are either unaware or don't care that they do the same thing they bitch about every day.

It no longer bothers me, but I don't mind pointing it out, since it has had a direct effect on me in the past and has affected my relationship with this forum.

 

I don't consider it a right of a transgender to once be a male and then compete against females in physical competition of any sort. I don't see how that is protracting their right. Right to choose? Right to vote? What rights are being denied by denying a male transgender the ability to compete with females?

You didn't really address the twisting of words in response. Im very interested to hear yours/others’ opinions on that.
I have a feeling no one will comment for the very reason i previously laid out.
Is it okay for someone to deliberately twist someone else's words around, painting the person as bad or some sort of evil?
What justification is there to allow this and if it isn't justified, then why don't more people here speak up and correct those who do twist words up?
Would it be because there is a sect that will back up their brethren even when they are wrong and framing others inaccurately?

 

Hush. He's the victim in all this.

 

Not all women think the same way. But even those who have strong feelings one way or another about trans women in sports acknowledge very few are directly impacted.
Equal pay, health care, reproductive rights, childcare, education, social security, violence against women etc. etc. are higher priorities for vast majority of women.

 

And Trump opposes them all.

 

Trans men want to compete against men. Trans women want to compete against women. Pretty simple. Learn the game then post? Or, not anymore. Ha.
