if you were invincible

All the women in my life here in Indonesia and back in the U.K. are "bold, independent women".

Funny that you refuse to acknowledge them here.

In fact you can't even see them. Missing the point yet again.

And if that were true, you would be a far better man than you display here.

If I thought your behaviour and Duchess64's behaviour on this thread marked you out specifically as "bold, independent women" the likes of which I know in my life and understand well, I would say so.

I think your demeanour and rhetoric, the both of you, on this thread, exhibits something entirely different.

It's not "boldness". It's not "independence". Instead, it's just a proclivity to engage in a weirdly intense form of highly personalized insults, to which I do not reply in kind.

But it is true, Suzianne. Why do you doubt my word when I say that all the women in my life here are "bold, independent women"

You either think sexual slurs are OK or you think they are not OK. There may be men who use sexual slurs against women, but I have never resorted to such slurs. Why have you resorted to them in my case?

BUMP for Duchess64.

Again, out of touch.

Does it hurt that much?

Your actions do not, in any way, match what you say.

But we're used to that. More so lately.

This is just generic scornful personalized drivel. It doesn't address any of the substance of what is being discussed.

Well, that is the definition of independent.

And yes, it is bold to be independent in these forums.

Some women will not be prevented from speaking their mind.

Some actually think it's abhorrent. This does women no favors.

But why does "speaking their mind" have to manifest itself in sexual slurs against someone, like me, who doesn't resort to them?

Wow. Totally and blissfully not self-aware.

Do you even listen to yourself?

Apparently not, since you actually say you never lie. And then you say this.

"FMF - Missing the point since 2005."

This is generic off-topic stuff too.
