[quote name='dmaul1114']Magus, you always fail to think of the issue of scale.
Sure, men get frowned upon often for sleeping around etc. That doesn't change the fact that it happens to women MUCH more often and that there are numerous studies showing this.
It is not even. Not even close to it. It happens to mean, but women get labeled negatively for being promiscuous much more regularly and severely than men do.
You're one of those people who has strong opinions with no backing other than your own personal anecdotal experience, and yet go around arguing like you're an expert on everything.[/QUOTE]
Sorry but I disagree. First off I would argue in this case that most studies do not look at a broad enough field, most stuides I have read tend to focus on a very narrow perspective such as just women, just men, only in the workplace or only in dating.
Second as for me always being right, maybe, we can never know that about ourselves. I would argue that you and others at the politics board show its more true of yourself though. First off almost everyone is hard to the left or right and never takes a centerist approach to things, if its not your view you blow up. Second I will point out that people at that board are hardly experts in every(or even any)field. I have believed things and bowed to scientists more times then I can imagine, same with the social sciences and lord knows the last few years iv had an education in economics where I have had to say I was wrong more times then I could imagine. I never claim to be an expert on these things, but I hardly think you, camoor, knoell or unclebob are either. We are all the same, except for the fact that again I tend to disagree with all of you vs picking the same side every time.
I will add to that being an Aspegers kid(I hate labels so I dont really consider myself one, but its what psychologists who know better then me deemed appropriate) gives me a VERY different view of the world. I dont interact with people the same way as you, im more of an observer then someone who interacts(and when I do interact it ends up like this!). Right or wrong its given me a very different perspective of things and to me it shows that you all run around making excuses for yourself to keep world views both yourself and society have placed on you. This is why people in the same social class or clique all just happen to listen to the same music, like the same hobbies, dress the same way and vote the same way, because it is what you have been trained to do and its what you must do to keep your view of the world and thus your psyche balanced. I know it sounds crazy, but its how I view the world and it really does make me laugh that you accuse me of it since its one of the few things I pride myself on not doing. My biggest fear in life is that I may be lying to myself the way I think you all do.
Just that I talk in such an honest way as this even though it isolates myself from the rest of you and gets me made fun of should say something. But eh as I said chalk it up as crazy if it helps.
Heck both my Japanese teachers were drove up the wall by my flirting! They were demons though who believed in keeping their blessings to themselves...sniff.
