But someone didn't want to debate until the question was answered, and as it's written, it looks answered to me, but then someone didn't want to argue anyway even with the question answered. I mean, it could be misspelled, it could be correct, looks like someone was making assumptions about others to me? |

If you can't debate it as it's written then what is there to respond to? You're making claims that I never made. |

Geez it's 3:30 pm here in Perth and it's stopped raining, now i can go for a walk in da Park, will stop at my mate and gay neighbour Kevin's place to see if he wants me to walk his little dog, its a Pug, his other dog was put down last week a 15 yr old Jack Russel, I am the only straight male friend he has, he quiet and pretty cool.
But just thought I would let y'all know that it's nice in Perth and hope the sun shines through the clouds, and how if a gay plumber offered me a gay flag to hold I would decline, especially if he's in his work clobber, if he asked why, I would tell him the truth, which is that I won't take a flag that he has touched in case "his hand has been around a tool that's been in a sewer pipe" That may be taken as a double entendre, or not Cheers William ![]() |

I had a work colleague who wanted to get a vasectomy and the doctor refused for the same reasons that you stated against women. In my experiences also, which I acknowledge are not exactly the same, but if a couple want to have a more permanent form of contraception within their relationship I have found that doctors are advocating that the male get a vasectomy and not the female having her tubes cut and tied. |

I generally don't mind your posts as they give a different perspective. I've got to admit though, some of your posts lately have had some generalisations in them that I read as "All men..." I'll use this statement as an example... Quote:

My IT computer geek mates (over the past 40 years, with more and more students being interested in that area over the years, where I was very early) would look at your original argument and think you're clearly off this planet. Sure, at school in the 80's, there were a few males as you describe them, hmm, they left school at year 10 though where most continued. Year 11, there was only one or two and they didn't last. That's more than 30 years ago. Some people do bring out the worst in others though. Like someone making the comment in the quote above. It's complete garbage. |

![]() You edited your post after I submitted mine! I was referring to the "Most men..." quote! Last edited by JasonACT; 27-07-2021 at 07:13 PM. Reason: Edit: quote, not post! |

The irony of this is off the scale. Your axe to grind against men, and brazen claims that generalise all men as mysoginistic over and over again is what grinds my gears. Your views about men are completely archaic and deserve to be left back in the 60’s.

Which original argument? The one about pink ethernet cables? If so, okay that's great but my own experience in the IT industry is otherwise, I've witnessed it first hand else I wouldn't have said it. Perhaps it comes down to dudes acting differently around women than around other men but in my experience, pink ethernet cables are kryptonite to a guy who's trying to look masculine. It's low-key hilarious. |

I understand your confusion, you have had so many "must be told on this particular forum" experiences, it might be hard to keep track.
The one where you generalised about "Most men" only being able to express anger due to their conditioning. We've got plenty of pink cables at work, nobody cares, I mean seriously? Probably though, might be better to not bring out the worst in others by mentioning one off instances of stuff like this. For all I know, someone in IT knows you all too well, so goes out of their way to stir you up. |

Anyway, I still think it's rubbish. But... Had you said "Most men are being conditioned" and not "have been"... Then... "Most men" only being able to express anger due to their conditioning. Would not have been my conclusion. Still rubbish though. Very old ideas. |

Men alive today say between 20 - 90 years old so we're talking about a viewpoint from at least 20 years ago and at most 90. They were quite different to how kids are raised today, hence the "it doesn't fly anymore". If you don't agree that's the childhood that most men went through back then - that they weren't permitted to cry but that expressing anger was ok - I guess we'll just leave it at that. bossxr8, you can get triggered all you like at my referencing "most men" in that context but feel free to tell me how I'm wrong, it'd be more productive tbh. |

Kind of funny that this thread started as someone being against the 'thought police', which is fine. Everyone is allowed to have their own thoughts. The thread then got hijacked and kind of went the path of the exact opposite.
![]() These are my thoughts and how dare you have different ones. ![]()

If you are queer, gay, lesbian, whatever, that is not gender, that is sexual preference. And who cares what your preference is.

Not going to further “poke the bear” (Germaine, the man-hater)…. She is already aware that I’m awake to her continual anti-men trolling…
What I will comment on is vasectomies.. Got mine as a 40th B/day pressie from then wifey… We both saw it as a more preferable procedure, than the more invasive female alternative…. The procedure itself was simple enough.. 1 snip, 20 mins all done, and back to the pub! The lead up appointment a week before was quite involved however! Virtually a mini psych evaluation detailing how the procedure is rarely successfully reversible, and consequences of said “snip job”…. This carried out a week beforehand to give you time to think it properly through. So definitely NOT treated as lightly as Feathers mentioned! This was 25 yrs ago too, so probably even more stringent nowadays?

My wife had her tubes tied at 26, we discussed the pro's and con's of me getting done, she decided that while she was in hospital with twin babies (children 3 & 4), whilst I was at home with children 1 & 2, me aged 27, she felt it was easier for her to get done. However after watching her recovery I wish I had been done. The Pediatrician offered to do it with 2 bricks or for me to just go to the North End Vet Clinic - he was a funny bugger
