76. am I also free to not have you boss me around

I am free to start a thread if I choose (and what happens to a thread i start on almost ANY topic?)

In the same way, I am also free to NOT start a thread if I so choose.

The fact that I (quelle horror) choose to post in threads that others have started (and thus keep them alive and on the front page (again quelle horror) to disagree with things I think are wrong or narrow-minded, seems to me one of the purposes of a discussion board - for people to discuss.

And I may note, that I have NOT said anything in this thread about violence against men, EXCEPT in the context of a meta-discussion that was started by somebody else who said "why do some people always do X?"

Of course, that was meant to be a rhetorical question that "we all understand" the answer to - because they are sexist pigs with some kind of personal defect (whether that defect is intellectual, emotional, or some combination of every defect known to humanity). Except I proposed a different answer.

In fact, before ANYBODY "whined" about men, somebody else made a post about them. "Waiting for the usual suspects to show up and start whining about men" and then some people who felt they were being talked about, called out, and disparaged actually DID show up to talk about a subject that SOMEBODY ELSE had introduced.

Which sorta proves my theory, some men show up to talk about men, ONLY AFTER some OTHER people FIRST show up to BASH men, or even just to BASH the men who always show up to defend themselves after they have been bashed.
