371. you "encourage uppity women" as long as YOU decide they have a "valid case". you know what....?

Thu Mar 6, 2014, 11:22 AM

Mar 2014

fuck that shit, i say as a woman. you do not tell me whether i have a valid case. you do not tell me i am uppity cause i say fuck that shit, a man does not tell me if i have a valid case.

that simple. there is no need for me to read another single word in your post. the very beginning. NO

now. i addressed your post. YOUR demand, as a man, of ME, a woman about MY issues, not yours.

RIGHT THERE

NO!!!!

was i clear enough? any questions? do i need to clarify? i do not want you to have to ponder. no need. it is not yours. it is mine. i will do it as i see i need to do it. i will not do ME as YOU see i should do me.

there is no insult. there is no name calling. there is no UPPITY.... for christ sake. this is simply a woman saying NO to you.

actually men get abused by women but they are too embarrasses usually to report it. and of course roguevalley Mar 2014 #302

I belive she will. bravenak Mar 2014 #105

Regardless of what may happen in the future jberryhill Mar 2014 #113

She filed for an injunction against him. bravenak Mar 2014 #115

You and your landlord have a legally binding agreement on access to the property. Do the Graysons? opiate69 Mar 2014 #45

Why? Rep. Grayson had every legal right to be in his own home. Ikonoklast Mar 2014 #259

Divorce is a blessing! She apparently had an injunction against him for violence Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #193
