(1,173 posts)I never insinuated that you'd kept company with a rapist. I merely restated my life in terms of not having been around rapists, the life you then exaggerated into some sort of "squeaky clean" form which I never said it was. I think you're reading WAY too much into my posts instead of reading exactly what they say; only through almost a wishful reading of my post could you have inferred any insinuation for not only did I not insinuate it, I didn't even think it - in fact I thought you were a female poster, so of course I wouldn't then insinuate you kept company with rapists.
The reality is that I never posted about hurt feelings. What I said is that stereotypes are wrong. That I'm rather wordy when I discuss things doesn't denote any sort of emotional element, but instead a desire to be thorough and exacting when dealing with sensitive issues. But for all of my words many have still branded me as a misogynist, a liar, and have put words in my mouth, so I guess my effort was in vein.
