please find the word "routine" in that post, cuz maybe im goin blind. and im not arguing with the condom issue, condoms are always a first line of defense and should ALWAYS be used during an ONS. ive never gone without one only in a "serious" relationship, where she was on the pill, and i took her virginity. and that trend will continue. if the word "routine" was used, then yes, it was stereotypical and false, but im sure all you ladies out there dont go to work, walk in the door, and snap your pretty little fingers cuz you forgot to get dressed that morning. is there a sequence to your actions every morning? do you do things in the exact same order every day? no. your not robots. and that is not what glen was saying, it IS true that women do a hell of a lot more to start there day, and i commend you for that, i could never do all that shit every day. oh and i wasnt asking you to put the health issues aside, I was putting them aside because im not a gyno, therefore speaking on them would be like talking about trigonometry, two thing i know nothing about.
No, the term "routine" was not in his post, but my impression was that it was implied. After all, all of my arguments are from my perspective, so they are valid. Just as yours are valid from your perspective. Regarding your comment about ladies and getting dressed for work, same applies for males. Both men and women shower and get dressed in the morning before work. Men may use aftershave, women may use perfume. Not all do. And women do not do a hell lot more to start their day as you claim. I shower, get dressed, and eat - only. You? As established already, these are stereotypes. Glen's comment was over the top and I feel very stereotyped and even ridiculed by it. In my opinion, how dare someone describe my female nature like that. I'm shocked that someone can even argue his post so strongly because it is SO ridiculous. Having said that, I'm not trying to attack you. Women vary, and men vary. I take 5-10 minutes in the shower on average (maximum 15min), and 5-10 minutes to get dressed. Then I eat something and head off to uni or work. Now tell me where I fit in Glen's post. One of my closest guy friends takes 30-40 minutes to get ready (but I have experienced a whole hour!) I don't know why. He's a straight guy too, who dresses pretty simple, and only gels his hair. See why stereotypes are absurd?
do you wear makeup? do you do anything to your hair beside throw it into a ponytail and leave? if not, bravo!! what do you want a cookie? or how bout a gold star? yes, some guys do take a long time, just as some girls dont. just because YOU dont do it, doesnt mean a VAST majority of women dont. im not attacking you either(having lots of fun) and im agueing it because im not seeing how it is "SO ridiculous". it seems rather valid to me.me? i barely remember to breath in the morning cuz im in such a fog, i just shuffle around all morning. its a fact that woman get much more done than men, not a stereotype, and thats a good thing. by denying one of the many strengths that the fairer sex have over men seems absurd to me. what he said was not a stereotype, more of a generalization based on majority, like polling. maybe generalization isnt the word im looking for, its something else im sure
I'm not "denying one of the many strengths that the fairer sex have over men." My point was that Glen's post was ridiculing women and stereotyping them in a way that downgraded the difficulty for them to take the contraceptive pill daily. As we have established, women are not all the same, and our debate has made Glen's argument quite unrealistic. Cheers to a good debate
I dont understand why people think that calling an individual a moron online is more insulting than generalizing at least 50% of the population. Where is the logic there...
people need to understand we live at a very rich period of history and this ISNT going to last we are at about the peak of oil production we are near the peak in lots of other things certain metals uranium natural gas . and you can be sure that the standard of living is going to drop for most people , you can see this in the third world where because we are replacing oil with biofuels and food prices are skyrocketing and people are starving ,their going up in developed countrys too but nothing compared to what their going to . now at the moment a single women can bring up a child and its pretty easy you have welfare and you dont in the industrial world have single women and babys starving to death . you may say what the hells he on about its not easy bringing up a child on your own , but compare being a single mother now to say the victorian period and things are going to get worse than the victorian period . so you childish men can play you games now but lifes going to get a sight more serious , and you girls better understand that things are going to get a hell of a lot more serious and you need to be careful as hell on who you have sex with and if your going to have a baby get a husband .
First off, if she said she'd want an abortion and she was more than 5 weeks pregnant, I would have to kill her. If she said she wanted to keep the baby I'd deffinetly try and make a relationship happen but if like the OP stated you have no feelings at all then I'd still support the kid.
