Originally posted by BigDoggProblemMy experience of PE class in high school was painful: get picked last, get knocked down, cry, go back to locker room... Humiliation came with the turf, I just accepted it. Joined the chess club, found like-minded souls. Lack of cheerleaders for the chess team proved to be a relief.
Was it painful? π΅
-Removed-Firstly, you know she's probably a "she", so why insult her by calling her an "it"?
Secondly, by saying she should "re-apply" here, you're showing that you simply don't give a rat's ass about her problem.
So unless you're willing to actually provide a real solution to her, maybe you should just keep your misogynist mouth shut.
divegester and Suzianne there seems to be a communication problem
divegesterseems to see the problem from a solution point of view, which I would paraphrase:
"The situation is NOW as it is. If you want it to become better you can either expect others to change (highly unlikely) or you can change e.g. new account with new username or ask Russ for a change (not unheard of)"
Suzianne seems to see the point thus:
"Something bad happened and our task is to have sympathy with MissR and clearly to state it was not her fault, but those of the men she mentioned."
Please let missR decide what she wants. The problems are:
* if she follows divegesters advice she could be perceived as the one ducking down, and thus declairing those men right.
* If she takes her stand she could be perceived as a person who whines and is not ready to do what is in HER power to change things.
So which shall it be?

Why must you spend your time trying to figuratively rub GB's nose into some perceived slight?
though unfortunately the alphabet places you near the end of the list. You can be sure that there isn't a man
here, as Bobby wisely points out, who wouldn't trade the odor of locker rooms for the scent of perfume.

So good to know that there is at least one of you who thinks of us so fondly. Thanks for my part. There are so many girls now compared to when I first came here in 2005. I am trying to think of some that I have met along the way and invite them to join Popeye, we need more Olives in the sauce. π
Originally posted by redbadgerOK, look. We don't need to know about your penchant for dressing up and being beaten. What goes on in the privacy of your home should, in all decency, stay there and not out in the public domain.

Still I have to agree with him. We have some very fun ladies here on this site. I love them all dearly. They deserve to be honored but never patronized. I admire their stimulating conversations as well as a pleasant social flirt and chess game as well. I openly cheer for them...even the feminists.
I wish some weren't so uptight though. I guess I just don't see the problems as a real problem as MissR perception of it. I've never been in her shoes though. It's always a good idea to turn the fish bowl around and see things from a different angle I suppose. So I have to respect those who object.
Originally posted by cashthetrashThanks, cash. I too "have an ongoing appreciation for each of the ladies past and present who grace this site with their presence". With a few well chosen honest words, you've captured the very essence of this thread. Nice to see you back.
