And I am also sorry, but I am the kind of femme who would literally go insane if the most important worry in my life was the "right" hair, makeup, and nails. Therefore, it's not very "fun" for me to be stereotyped in jest.


This was not about you in any way shape or form. I don't even know you.

And your comment "And I am also sorry, but I am the kind of femme who would literally go insane if the most important worry in my life was the "right" hair, makeup, and nails"... where was this insinuated?

I am a Girly Femme to the T, but it is not the most important worry in my life... I guess you have some stereotypes yourself coming out. Maybe you need to look at that.

Have a nice day

i sometimes feel that the world has been stereotypical for so long, and especially in the name of comedy that people are shocked when someone says. "hey, that's not ok"

My Femme is not obsessed with her hair or nails or looks or lipstick.
She is a capable warm intelligent funny talented wonderful human being.
She is awesome and I am a lucky guy to be married to her.

That's awesome! I AM into my looks, clothes, make-up, hair, nails. whatever. But, I also am a warm, caring person, I am very successful in my career, I am a awesome friend, and know the people who have come and gone in my life have appreciated me and felt lucky also to be with me, and I was with them. Hair and Makeup do not dictate that. It also does not make you any less than other people.

Other people have posted funny little things in here... and I was doing the same.. and YES what I posted is important to me! Please don't take that away or make it about yourself. It is mine, and I love it.

Thank you :-)

Your welcome.

And what a wonderful list this is! i feel it's fabulous that all of us femmes are different and unique, what a boring world we would live in if we were all the same.

You directed your list to ALL Femmes and maybe would have been better if you posted from you *me* place. :)

I am not saying we shouldn't call out "isms" I just think another thread can be started to address that directly. We have a whole site for that. Why not use it. :)

All opinions are of value in my eyes. I have nothing against anyone here and I'm not here to argue. I would just like to see this area maintain it's purpose which is writing and poetry.

Cheers,

Scoobs

So you know ,I meant absolutely nothing ugly towards you.
I could have chosen friendlier words . I own that and apologize.
Things happen where they happen is what I have noticed.
Ever start a thread about one thing and it turns into twenty other
topics? I have.

I was following the title of the thread.... sorry for the confusion.

I have to think hard to think of discussion threads that DON'T take a long and winding road - usually consisting of several 90 to 180 degree turns.

It's kinda what I find cool about the internet - it's like real conversation.

If I sit down with friends - we may start talking about something serious and pressing - then someone will have an ADD moment and we'll be off in that direction - then someone else will remember something about their trip to the grocery store and you just continue like that - playing off of each other.



So - what about softball?

Dude 02-23-2012 06:04 PM

First base / outfield but have skipped a couple of seasons due to nerve issues. Apparently if you can't feel part of you hand - it effects both offense and defense lol and I can't play if I'm mediocre. Can't do it.


Soooooooooooo


before my career ended I did manage to turn an unassisted double play :) that was on the "bucket list" and I got to strike it off.

And I'm very happy that ESPN shows a fair amount of college ball.. and I'm VERY Happy that the big players are still valued players in the sport.

Yay for power sluggers!!!

People of my heritage are often stereotyped into movies and *just in fun* makes fun of us.

They think it's ok because it's "just in fun". It's not funny to us.


The fact that you capitalized the word ALL , added a *lol* then a *just in fun* sounds to me like you knew you were about to piss off a bunch of people.

Nothing on your list applies to this femme, just so you know.

Everything in her list applies to me, just so you all know. I've decided to follow suit and talk about myself and because I'm certain you all care.

Right? You know you do!

I'm fully aware that it was not about me. That was the entire point of speaking from *my* space, in trying to clarify your ALL comment. That is where the perceived insinuation occurred, just as the case with the original OP. There were no stereotypes involved on my part, nor anything that I need to look at. I was communicating *my* thoughts. Not attempting to lump you or anyone else into a category. Unfortunately, I am not always the most eloquent communicator, especially when I'm trying to understand my own thought process...lol Like you said, I don't know you. It was nothing against *you* as a person. As a matter of fact, I've enjoyed reading some of your posts around the board in the past, and thought you seemed like a genuine and interesting individual. I apparently come off a lot more harsh and personal than I intend sometimes.

Yes! The *me*'s and *I*'s spaces, rather than the general inclusion. These are what I was trying to get at, but in such an obviously confusing and roundabout way. (Like I said, sucky at thought processes sometimes.)
