...the overwhelming majority of trolls who level insults behind the security of their LED screen wouldn't DREAM about saying such things in person, for fear of being held to account for their words.
Your obvious word-play is heavy-handed and plodding.
As stated, childishly pathetic.
You consistently seem to gravitate toward the immature, for some reason.

Originally posted by lemon limeHow does the suggestion that he is a "henpecked male" fit in here? Does the idiom mean something different in the USA? Men agreeing with feminists or feminism or welcoming the achievements of feminism does not make them "henpecked males". The word "henpecked" refers to men who are to some degree oppressed and have autonomy- or assertiveness-related interpersonal problems in their relationships with women.
And I wasn't suggesting he has some sort of interpersonal problem with women, I was suggesting he's bought into everything he's heard from women about the womens movement. Although, some guys will sound like they've bought into all of it, when in fact all they are really trying to do is to score points with their women acquaintances.
Originally posted by divegeesterdive, it's my observation that people are who and what they are wherever they are online or offline; and behave in ways time and place appropriate or inappropriate depending on their level of maturity and character. The relative anonymity of an online nickname and option of an avatar create both opportunities for positive and temptations for negative behaviour. -Bob
What do you think?

What's up with all of these questions and comments? Did I strike a nerve here or something?

But don't be put off by his rates.
He's just looking for the occasional "thumb's up" from his fellow dumbed-down trolls, so you don't even have to file a claim with your insurance.
Originally posted by FreakyKBHI can say the same thing, and any of my internet contacts that know me IRL would back this up.
As a matter of fact, yes: I wear it constantly.
Unlike some, I type out the words imagining the person to whom I am responding (if it is that specific) as though they are within my physical periphery, and I theirs.
I couldn't live with myself knowing I've represented something about myself other than what I know to be faithful and accurate.
In other wor ...[text shortened]... to stand by what I say at any time.
I wonder how many herein can honestly say the same thing?

Originally posted by FMFSpeaking for myself. I either say just what I think or remain silent. As far as violence goes, I try to avoid it as much as possible. If it comes to that, I fight to win anyway possible and I do. It's not so much being a "badass" as it is having the training and knowhow to handle situations. The biggest badasses I've ever met in my life are more often that not unimpressive in appearance and very humble, calm and levelheaded.
It comes across as you being an 'internet tough guy' alluding to an ability to handle some notion of "violence" that he himself has raised in an online discussion.

Originally posted by lemon limeI suggest that you have a long talk with your daughters. They might explain
Oh, and by the way Drew... I am the father of two sons and three daughters, who are all adults now. I don't presume to be anyone elses father and act like I have a right to tell anyone else what to do. What I've been talking about comes from a fathers perspective.
to you that what you refer to as "women's rights" are actually human rights.
If you guys are done with the tape measures, I'll just say that I'm tired of people talking about women's issues in black and white. It's always either "Well women are so fragile and air-headed that we must protect them", or it's "Nah, it wouldn't have happened if she wasn't acting/dressed like a whore."
There happens to be plenty of middle ground between these two extremes, which happens to be where most women live.

Originally posted by lemon limeThis is not a use of the word "henpecked" that I am familiar with.Maybe it is an American thing. Presumably you seek to contrast yourself with Handy Andy so I take it you see yourself as not "henpecked". So does this mean you would see yourself as being more assertive ~ sort of more able to remain in charge ~ with women than Handy Andy, is that what you're saying?
