If tis was a woman saying to a man

'you've been out of order today, you know what you've done'.

It's a nice guilt trip, but not particularly constructive if what he thinks he's done isn't what you want him to correct. Or if the argument just goes round and round with no real content and no progression. :)

'you've been out of order today, you know what you've done'.

But that's not what I did, was it? :rolleyes:

I said go and read your own words, to see what you've written.

I haven't given you a puzzle, I've pointed you at the evidence. :rolleyes:

If you don't wish to consider the evidence that's fair enough, but don't then invent the evidence.

If you don't wish to consider the evidence that's fair enough, but don't then try and lay the fault of your own inaction back on me.

ok cool you go reread your own words then, ~I'm satisfied that I've not done anything amiss.

Taken from the other thread,

Neil:

The bullying gang you've tried to raise by flirting.

That has seriously cheered me up, thank you so much, I really need that right now.

That's made my day :D

Well I was hoping you'd narrow it down a bit

:biggrin:

you're so satisfied that you've done nothing amiss, you gave me an apology ....?

FFS. :lol:

You do wrong. You apologise. Then you and the guy you've blow kisses at round up on me, where you claim to have done nothing wrong.

I draw your attention to the title of this thread, one you yourself created. :lol:

Ah. I think there's been a genuine misunderstanding here. When I started this thread, I was referring to what happened to bunique and me, and the girls in the article tony linked to - not our spat.

I think at one point I actually referred to it as bullying. I've always thought of it as a form of bullying, rape is to do with dominance rather than sex.

So, rather than thinking of it in terms of men dominating women, I tend to think of it as a particular person using whatever's to hand to dominate another.

Now, that could be the use of sex as a weapon, but, to me, a woman's sexuality can be used to beat her over the head with by anyone, both men and women.

You can pressure her into being pure and respectable, you can pressure her into being available.

You can then subsume all of it under patriarchy. But the main issue, for me, is that one person is trying to screw with someone else's rights to their own body.

And it's nobody else's business what someone does with their own body, as long as they're not hurting someone.

I did read through the first day (Friday) that you reckoned was the day that I should retract, and all I could see in there was me saying I wasn't bothered by Page 3, and men could be seen to be demeaned by it as much as women. I don't see anything wrong with that.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
