I hear you Jake, and I appreciate your candid, lucid and respectful approach to handling my response. However, please don't let my number of posts or registration date fool you. I've been around nearly 2 years....I remember some of the older DJ's and a great many of the conversations (some good ones too!!) , I just sort of lurked for the longest time. Anyway, having said that, how does that change your response in regard to what I had to say?
Yeah I realize the way the world is (my life experiences are an adequate testament to that), and I have been screwed a lot of times and in a lot of ways. But all that does is make me want to be a better man. What's more is that I feel this post is unbelievably counter-productive in that way, not to mention cruel to women (don't take that as AFC). Again, I refer you the sister/daughter analogy.
I'm all for being aggressive, and embracing sexuality, but if at any time the more crucial characteristics are overlooked for the more menial, superficial ones, what does this say about your condition/position on the scale of being a man?
You can face the cruelties of this world without having to stoop to it's level and still come out on top!!! That too is an important aspect of being a man in today's world. If you let the world dictate the way you live your life or the kind of person you are, I think everybody here would agree that is the opposite of displaying all the qualities of being a man. Moreover, that is echoed quite explicitly in this post.
I look forward to hearing some responses.
I lurked for about year or so before my registration date, so I guess I've still been around longer than you have. I've been reading this since late 1999 or early 2000, I don't remember. However, it has only been during the past 9 months or so that this thing has really been sinking into me.
You and I are practically on the same page. The only difference is that I tend to take a more liberal attitude. You can't go walking around on eggshells all your life because you don't want to hurt people. Life's too short to play it like that. You need to relax.
