AFAIC, he was doing very well up until the last few lines of the third paragraph.

Hmm, I don't really get why smartaz is being labeled a troll or an idiot here. Why is his/her post any more misogynist than the recent posts by enlightened western men suggesting that women should have c-sections or surgery so they remain desirable or "good in bed"?

Strong stance + leaning far in one direction + newbee = troll.

Generally.

Time will tell.

I made the post because it is true!!! It is not a suggestion, it happens all the time in Brazil - mostly because the women want to "stay good" in bed.

I do not remember anyone saying that women should have C-sections for this reason...

How do you know I am a "enlightened western man?"

I didn't use the [sarcasm] tags, and you took me seriously?

Well, just for the sake of argument, I think SmartAZ is correct. He has given all the reasons why we are in such disarray in America today - namely that women have adapted to the new social environment and are pushing ahead after taking over more than 50% of the workforce since the 1960's while men/boys are still in shock that it could happen/be allowed to happen, have NEVER recovered from the shock of seeing a female presence standing beside them instead of behind, and have been severely crippled in their job and familiar relations but prefer to whine and be hostile and resentful instead of growing and adapting for themselves

If he's a troll, he's a well-read one.

I don't think he's a troll, though.

I'm with Wolf. Not attacking anyone or their opinion. Just posting his (?) view and giving the reasons why he holds them....a hundred years after they went out of style.
Of course a lot of things I believe in have gone out of style, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.....just out of style. :p

edit- Now here's a troll.

So I'm a moron because you don't happen to agree with me?

So you think it's important to be "up to date" even if the country is falling apart because the current fads don't work right?

I'm disappointed. I thought this crowd could do better than that. How did you folks learn to spell so well without learning how to defend your positions?

Smartaz you're obviously not a moron, if you wish to continue the arguement ignore the barb and follow up. Sometimes when you're new folks prefer to just smack. UT's points deserve to be addressed and I'll have to do it if you don't but I've got goat housing to improve.

I never learned how to spell. Ask Wolf if you don't believe me. I can get pretty argumentative, however. If its worth arguing about.

Yeah, well, I've gotta wash my socks. I'm not sure yet how long I'll hang around here. I was hoping for better discussions. I mean without the insults.

Try using fewer yourself. That generally helps.
