Yeah maybe he's not a total gentlemen and broadcasts his selfishness loudly but I think suggesting he has no empathy for women and has deep rooted issues is extreme.
Thank you Get2Think. On the one hand, I personally find this kind of behavior abhorrent, but on the other, it is so the culture we live in. . .
Yeah...have you guys read his other posts dealing with women? Do you have any idea how this attitude is damaging to the women he gets involved in? Women end up with trust issues and PTSD from men with attitudes and beleifs like his and it is not acceptable or okay. Many men cannot relate or understand the pervasive damage this type of man does to women, unless they love a woman who has experienced a relationship like this.
ToothPasteDog - It is not the culture we live in and making excuses for the OP and others who have this attitude is a huge part of the problem. I am disappointed in your statement TPD. At one point in time slavery was the norm...does that make slavery okay? No, it doesn't. People like the OP prey on young naive girls (read some of his posts - he only looks for the young ones) and they mentally tear them down until they are a shell of their former selves. They get depressed and have no self worth and often turn to eating disorders and addiction to ease the pain.
That you give this behavior a pass because it is the "norm" is sad. You are still very young, I think if you stay in this field you will unfortunately learn why I am upset with your statements as you will have more experience working with women in recovery who are picking up the pieces in the aftermath of relationships with men like the OP.
Get2Think - you want to know what's extreme - that this type of behavior is tolerated and accepted. It's socially irresponsible to give this guy a pass on his attitude and behavior so he has no inclination to change and he can keep hurting people. His behavior needs to be called out for what it is.
It is never okay to objectify people - never. By admonishing my thoughts and opinion you are indirectly supporting his thoughts which are abusive, so you are essentially supporting abuse towards women. His attitude and behavior is extreme and should be met with resistance. He should be made aware that it is not the norm, it is not acceptable, and that he needs to analyze where these feelings are coming from.
To Both: Would you want your Mother, Sister, or Daughter involved with a man like this? Would you sit idlely by let someone like him give them the honor of cleaning his house and sucking his dick just to be treated like shit? I don't think either of you would want a loved one in that situation.
I absolutely stand by what I said in regards to the OP, and no, what I said is not extreme. I removed the extreme parts before I posted, believe me my response was a lot longer originally. It is an appropriate response for the extreme mysoginy the OP
consistently displays in his posts regarding women. The OP speaks like he is 15 years old who just dropped out of high school, trying to be some thug but is stuck in rural West Virginia, hiding behind church doctrine even though he doesn't practice what he preaches, because he feels the church validates him on some level and his mere attendance makes him godly.
In fact, this is a 29 year old man that preys upon young girls because he can manipulate and control them and it's sick. The more women reject him because of his horrible attitude the worse his attitude will get because he grows angry, and the behavior will only get more extreme. Keep in mind, he's already hurt and angry on top of being extremely ignorant with very little exposure to the outside world...in short, he's dangerous because he lacks education and critical thinking skills to fully examine his situation and how to build a better life for himself. If he is not given resources and pushed to grow as a person he is going to end up an abusive, angry, bitter old man who thinks he has been wronged by the world and he will keep displacing his hostilities on other people because he is owed.
