I'm not talking about how different our opinions are. You are saying that my views are not valid, yet if I agreed with your views and supported your ideas then my views would be valid. Last time I checked you and several other women aren't much older than me. So do you and other females on this thread need to grow up? We can disagree but don't try to put down my experiences and lack of putting myself in bad situations as a way to disregard what I see. Don't tell me that I need to grow some more. You're just telling me that I need to grow some more until my mindset parallels yours. I don't question your validity, because that is your life.
Yet the women on here who constantly run their mouth with asinine ideas don't have a lot growing to do or a lot of learning to do.
I'll apologize for saying your views are not valid. They are certainly. I just have a hard time explaining myself and finding the right words.
If you agreed with me. I wouldnt have a reason to reply. It wouldnt be a issue of liking you or not. If I agree with someone, then what is there to discuss? The conversation wouldnt get very far on a subject.
I talk the most when debating with people.
I have stated many times. My issue with you is your lack of humility and empathy. You keep deflecting to other women but we're not talking about them. We are talking about you.
You think of things in black and white terms. You speak as if you know everything, which you dont. Its not even about putting yourself in bad experiences. One of the reasons, you bother me so much is because you remind me of myself. Of how I used to be, so again I apologize for invalidating your opinions. I know how that feels but the truth is, you still have much to experience. You've done things that I havent, so you have experience with that, such as going to college. No doubt you are an intelligent girl. Its life experiences that I focus on, values and integrity. Life is not as simple as black/white, right/wrong.
I agree with you on a lot of things, our methods are just different. You have a more masculine, pentrating aggressive/direct way of getting across, and I have a more feminine, receptive, passive way. I dont think insulting/scolding people is the way to help them. Rather see things from their perspective and help build. Which is why I stress empathy.
Prevention vs. Punishment
But yeah. Im logging off soon to take a hiatus.
