'Forced' to marry

[bostonparis 0]

I certainly know where you are coming from, but I see your statements as filled with judgement.

I used to be curious about why women reacted so defensively to me, but my collegues often say that I don't argue like a woman, so women are intimidated by me. I cause a kind of disconcernation in their expectations of how a women would express herself. That's why other women's judgmental comments are not seen as judgmental next to mine.

No, you argue like a child. Hon.

I would be really interested in seeing how long szsz's marriage lasts! lol

You know, I haven't based my personal opinion that you would be an awful sociologist on your closed-minded opinions. I've based it on your basic misunderstanding of statistics, your judgmental knee-jerk responses to other people's lifestyles, and your inability to demonstrate an ability to reason logically. I just don't think you've got what it takes to make it in academia, and I sense a little bit of bitterness from you toward those who do!

Alex, you amuse me. A few days ago you were asking me what a social scientist was. Now, you're such an expert that you think you can critique me. I don't come here to work. I have worked in academia, and I see what they do to impressionable young minds. Not pretty!

I would be really interested in seeing how long szsz's marriage lasts! lol

Probably longer than yours.

No, you argue like a child. Hon.

Please come up with a new line.

Uh, when did I ask you what a social scientist was? You can't just make stuff up. But I'll give you the B of the D and assume you're thinking of someone else.

How childish.

But in all seriousness, you say that women are intimidated by you because you argue like a man... when really, you argue like a child... that was my point in bringing that up again.

LMAO. Oh yea, stroke that e-peen of yours.

How's life in that little box of white and black working out for you?

So far, a lot of heat, not much light. I said I'm game. Is anyone willing to move beyond blind emotion to show me how right they are instead of just stating how wrong I am?

If not, your empty criticism is boring me and wasting my time.

Um stop posting on an online forum? Just a tip.

Repeating it doesn't make it so.

Something constructive would be offered by now, if you had anything.

THAT'S the problem. No one here (I don't think, I'm speaking for myself, anyways) is trying to change your mind, or trying to show you that you're wrong. What we (I) am trying to explain is that you have an opinion, and so do I, and even if we do not agree, it does not make ME or YOU right. Argh!!

If I had anything FOR WHAT???? You just don't get it. I thought you had a reasonable side. Clearly, not so much.

You asked me on the thread where people were arguing about how many Arabs were Christian. How soon you forget!

How do women and men argue differently? This is overgeneralizing IMO, not only about arguing styles but about women's expectations. Also, seems irrelevent on an online forum where half the time we don't know if it is a woman or man we are talking to unless the name or pic gives it away.

Just fyi that was me....and I only did so to find out whether you are a professional one, or a self-proclaimed one.

Tsk....How soon you forget
