The post that was quoted here has been removedAs you know, I've always had your card marked as being a man pretending to be a woman on these forums. The more self-consciously "feminine" parts of what you post often seem almost like pastiche or parody, or a kind regurgitated caricature of "femininity" that a guy who calls himself "Duchess" might come up with.
Your instant and direct resort to accusations of "sexism" and even "sexual harassment" on innumerable occasions ~ thanks to an almost laughably sensitive hair-trigger, a facet that makes you perhaps the poster with the least emotional intelligence on the Debates Forum ~ plus your fastidious 'old aunt biddy' ruminations ~ mostly appear fake and forced ~ like I said, much like a guy who calls himself "Duchess" might come up with.
Your comment aimed at lolof comes across as a quip made by a male and not one made by a woman. It struck me as a moment when the curtain flapped open.

Small difference but too generalizing, I admit. 🙂
From what I have experienced, seen happen and read in literature, choosing to marry or just live with a person of a different culture can result in difficulties that - if not immediately - often become apparent later on, no matter how much in love you were from the beginning. Many of those problems may be due to differences in up-bringing and culture:
who is the provider,
who is in charge of the money,
who is in charge of the family - who has the last say
how do you bring up the children (in Sweden physical punishment done by anyone is against the law),
I don't speak about men - or women for that matter- who come from similar cultures but those of different cultures. We are trying to reach equal rights here, not all cultures do.

Originally posted by lolofHi lolof, I agree with your post in a strict generalized basis. I have been married, first to a Brazilian, second to a white Zimbabwean born. We had children and the causes for divorce was never anything related to cultural differences but only to personal compatibility. Ireland is the 6th country I live, I have many friends from many different parts of the world and including multicultural couples with normal lives. I also know couples from the same country but different states who divorced due to differences in local culture and distances, with one or the other returning to their original birth places.

Anything can happen really. Russian women, like most Eastern European women, tend to be very beautiful. I don't think the accent matters otherwise I would be a heartbreaker!! 🙄 😉 🙂
P.S.: E. European men also are good looking, some of them astonishing. I see lots of them here in cork, both boys and girls, part of this new generation of migrant workers. And more, they are also very kind and nice people, the Polish specially.
Originally posted by FMFThis all seems moot, especially coming from someone whose own gender has come under question because of something you said yourself directly (i.e., not going through the listener's own filters like your comments here) about your "first husband".

"A moment when the curtain flapped open" indeed. I'm reminded of something someone once said about "when you point your finger at someone remember you have three pointing back at yourself".
Originally posted by SuzianneI don't quite understand what you mean but would like to say that I really like Duchess64. I don't care if it is a he or a she, but whenever I read his/her posts, I agree with them. I wish he/she would play a game with me but from the looks of it, his/her interest is only the forums. 🙂

Originally posted by SuzianneYes I have been "accused" of being a woman. 'Opponents' would riff on that instead of addressing topics and arguments. It was pretty funny. I've also used three different accounts. I am unconcerned by people pointing fingers at me over these matters. I think Duchess64's "impertinent remark" aimed at lolof sounded like a quip by a male and not a female.
