One thing you would do differently

Fair. But its not even that complicated. And now there’s an interesting side topic.

- Dive makes an observation about Suzianne’s (a professed feminist) claim that women would tolerate sexual infidelity

- Torunn makes one of famous step ins, and then avoids the central topic.

- dive tries to tease out the specific and his post gets alerted

- Ponderable (who possibly alerted the post) steps in to help Torunn with an explanation.

Never mind Dive - as always things get too complicated for me.

What is odd about her perspective?

Tell me that you think that..

1) a generalised assertion that women will tolerate sexual infidelity isn’t an odd thing to hear from a female?

2) coming from a professed feminist, that assertion is even odder?

Tell me that you honestly don’t see it.

No, too much Dive, not worth the time.

Sorry Torunn; you play this card too often, and I just don’t buy it.

This isn’t complicated.

@divegeester said
Oh dear… someone has gotten upset and alerted my post because Torunn has been asked a question.

🤭

Or perhaps you triggered the auto mod for using the C word. 😲

Edit: It isn't complicated.

So you keep saying, week in and week out. And yet you continually feel the need to step in an question my motives and then back away with this “it’s all to complicated” gesture.

My comment to Suzianne was an open, honest statement. If you go back and read it again perhaps you’ll see that whatever Machiavellian intent you initially thought was there…simply isn’t.

Fair point Ghost.
However it would hardly be the first time one of my posts get alerted when I’ve asked someone a question.

Perhaps an example of horns over halo.

Feminist:
"an advocate of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes; a person who supports feminism:
"there are a million types of different women who consider themselves feminists but don't have the same agenda"

I’m aware of what a feminist is Torunn

Yes, I can't see the direct connection with infidelity. We differ in views, Dive, nothing odd about that.

@divegeester said
What an odd perspective that is, especially from a feminist.

Why?

David said, 'I have never cheated on any of my women. well not to their knowledge.'

Suzianne's reply, 'They know more than you think, and they either put up with it or just let it go.'

I don't think this is rocket science to decipher. If Suzianne is right and they know more than David thinks, then clearly they have decided to either put up with it or let it go (otherwise they would be out the door). - What has feminism got to do with it? It's a valid observation.

In what way do we differ?

[A reminder of my position here:
It seems an odd generalisation for female to assert that women will tolerate sexual infidelity. The assertion seems odder combing from a professed feminist.]

Or:

Dive misunderstands what Suzianne writes.
Dive thinks someone (rather than the auto mod) has alerted his post.
Dive gets into a huff and a bit shirty with Torunn.
Ghost steps in to highlight his errors.
