I must have misunderstood you, then, or I do have you confused, which seems less likely. I've known you since practically my first week here! What were you alluding to, if it's shareable, when you've so disdainfully mentioned single women raising boy children or women parents being able to understand boys?Quote:

According to Dr. Green, of the Columbia Celiac Disease Center in New York, where I have gone for evaluations and advice, most people are not really meant to eat gluten.Quote:

I do not think that the majority of women understand the male mind - and have very incorrect perceptions about what being a man entails. Most young men don't know how to act, or think, anymore. Just read what the kids write on the forums here. There are some notable exceptions, fortunately. This is the way the society is - men are as just much to blame for it as women. At one time, boys worked along-side their father and learned certain values - this is no longer possible for the majority of boys. The parents are working away from the home - and bringing the kid to work with them once a year doesn't cut it. Men are becoming feminized, at the expense of their manhood. It's been happening for a while, and is getting worse. The metrosexual males are now in the mainstream, and annoying, but the gangbanger types are almost exclusively the products of single-mothers' households. They do not have a good family, so they try to compensate for it by creating a perverse, violent imitation of one.
The only way to remedy these problems is for men to reclaim their rightful place in the home, and society. Since this isn't going to happen anytime soon, and possibly never, it's going to be a worse world in the future. I'm saddened by this, but that's my opinon.
Wow.
To be honest I hadn't thought about my pet theory in 20 years. I do believe there is a connection there but I have not pulled out the old college text books to plot out the demise of western civilization as it relates to womens rights. Of course there is more to it then that. Duh!
What amazes me is the ire it raised in all of you. We have pot smoking doctors and med students telling me...
I believe you're mostly annoyed, Slowlickity, because people have used very simple logicâ??and fine wordsâ??to point out unassailable facts.
Talk about condescending. I feel like I have been personaly attacked and am about to be chased off the site because I chose to openly and honestly state my opinion on the history and effects of womens liberation in America. You all disagree with me. Fine. But why the hostility? Surely it works against convincing me of the wrongness of my side.
I have never claimed to understand women so maybe you all can help me. Would you like me to be the neaderthal Marine the government trained me to be, pretend the things you have said don't hurt, and go on a vernal rampage assailing your liniage? Or would you like me to be the wimpering liberal mama's boy who say's yes ma'am. Whatever you say ma'am? How about I treat all of you as I would like you to treat me? I have tried to do so. have you?
Birdgirl. i have been a fan of your's since before i joined here. I am very disapointed in you attitude twords me. You may think I am wrong but I have not been rude. Did I ask if you and Dave were podiatrist? Have I asked what do they call the person who graduates last in his class from med school? DOCTOR! No. I will assume Dave knows of what he speaks when telling us that The rise in heart disease among women is not related to the stress of work but I am very very surprised to hear it. I have not studied it but I sure do believe I have read it more then once in the news. Maybe I learned something from you. I will be sure to read closer next time it comes on the news.
- Slow -:(
If I was rude, I apologize. I do. I've appreciated you, too, and I still do even disagreeing with you. I mean that, and I don't want hard feelings to linger on here. I certainly don't harbor any. If I could, I would like to shake your hand and show you that I mean this very sincerely. I enjoy a good debate, but I do get carried away sometimes, and you can tell I'm not short on opinions!
It's very important to me as a med student and my husband as a practicing physician to make it clear that we're strong cannabis advocates but not actual users. I will submit to any drug test to prove this point, as will he. Before I entered school last year when my older sister was enduring the last of her final chemo treatment, I joined her in some tokes and enjoyed them, as I did back during college, immensely. But since entering school last August, I had to give up cannabis and cannot, as one who's undertaking the study of medicine and will be asked to abide by laws with regard to both illegal and legal drugs, be a cannabis user right now. My husband doesn't smoke for the very same reason. He would risk losing his license in this state if he were to do so. He actually never smoked even in college because he never learned how to inhale and was always in athletics. Nevertheless, we both know it's important medically and largely hamrless recreationally. Along with places like this forum and NORML, it'll be people like us who change this country's cannabis laws, and it's important that while we're trying to help do that and educate others about its benefits, we're free from any personal attachment to cannabis so we're above reproach medically and ethically. Hope that makes sense. It was important for me to set that part of the record straight.
Lest anyone think I'm not a true believer in cannabis, when the day comes that I've finished school and finished my career, I will set Guinness smoking records. I'm going to have a lot of lost time to make up for. With luck, by that time, the attitudes toward it will have changed! And I hope sincerely I'll have been a help in changing them.
Can we declare peace, Slowlickity? I hope so! I'm glad you're pro-family and traditional. I consider myself both those things as well.
Thank you Birdgirl. That was a very nice post. Maybe when we both retire we can shake hands and pass the peace pipe. lol
My turn to confess.....I haven't smoked since college too too many years ago. It dosn't suit my personality well. I just recently began growing to help my sister who is soon to be confined to a wheel chair for her arthritus (her hubby is a podiatrist BTW). It really helps ease her pain. Some of the experimental drugs she has tried have been truely awfull (she went into cardiac arrest durring one transfusion). She is only 49 and is in excellent health in all other aspects. Pot is the only thing that really helps consistently.
Thank you again Birdgirl. Our disagreement has been nagging at me and I'm glad to put it to bed.
Your pal;

I found this website the other day and i want to know what you guys think of it. Personally, i agree with some things on the website but not all. It talks about repealing the right for women to vote:p ! Thats crazy everyone should be able to vote i think. I do agree though when it talks about women staying home and raising the kids instead of working. My mom stayed home and raised me and i wouldnt want it any other way.

Glad to hear back from you! You're more than welcome, and I am glad to reconcile things, too. Sorry to hear you didn't find weed to suit your personality. I found it simply marvelous. A wonderful natural antidepressant and very pleasant, although it didn't make my lungs or heart happy, but few things do. I have asthma and heart-rhythm trouble. When my beautiful older sister, who is now at rest and out of pain, was enduring those final chemo side-effects, it was like a miracle drug. Dave, who hadn't been fully convinced before, was instantly won over. My whole family was (and here I mean my parents and in-laws--people of the generation that simply thought it was harmful, evil "dope." Glad to hear it helps your sister's arthritis. There are lots of members here who get similar benefits for various rheumatic conditions. Makes me mad every time I think about it that in most states, they are put in the awkward position of having to break the law in order to get the help they need. We all need to keep fighting the good fight on that.
You take care, Slowlickity. And have a great week ahead. I've got to go study genetics now, doggone it.
Sorry, I've been away but I'd really like to jump into this conversation. Some male input for your consideration.
Recently I've begun to think of feminism along the same lines as I think of communism. In theory, it's a good idea, but in practice it seldom works well.
Women have definitely been mistreated in the past, and still are, all over the world. So of course women banding together to work for equal rights should be a good thing, but in every single case that I have witnessed, feminism has just led to a lot of elitist man-hating propaganda.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there aren't totally legitimate feminist groups out there, I'm just saying that every woman I've ever personally met who claims that she is a feminist have been unfair and unreasonable towards all men and non-feminist women.
I hope I'm not offending anyone with this, but it's the honest truth. Again, I'm not saying there aren't real, well meaning feminists, I'm just stating that I've met many so-called "feminists" and they've all been elitists, and pretty bitchy.
To any feminists on here... what are some goals that you're actually working toward? I honestly don't see how women (at least here in Canada) don't have the same rights as men. So, I'm probably wrong about that at least... sock it to me.
