I am in no way prude, but why do they go out dressed in the way they do and feel it necessary to drink themselves into oblivion?

Not that young men and drink are any different, but we expect young women to behave in a way more befitting to the gentler sex.

Well I hope bednobs missed out a word!

No need to get offensive AOG.
I'm not playing a "game" I'm giving what I believe to be true and honest responses to what you are saying.
Please refrain for using me as a scapegoat simply because people have got it RIGHT about something you have got WRONG.

I don't think she did. I had to read it twice.

[bednobs]

no, i don't think i missed out a word - but now youve got me thinking you may not have read it right - - you get that im saying i dont want to be thought of as a piece of dirt right?

[Prudie]

I see it as an obvious typo, she meant than not then

[Zacs-Master]

Actually I've re read Bednobs post and whilst it makes sense she misses the point about equality.

btw, if anyone is intending to report that crass remark he's just made to me, please don't ... I'd prefer that it was left intact.

A slight tweak

//"You've displayed an attitude which suggests that you think men should protect women and hold them in high regard."
speaking as i woman I would rather that,, than men think i was a piece of dirt to be looked down on.//

[Islay]

Lol sorry bednobs I reread that and popped a pause in and now I know what you were saying!

[bednobs]

what i am saying is i would rather men held me in high regard than not

I much prefer the summer race meeting 'What Is It With Some Of Today's Young Women?' threads

[Islay]

Well you made this thread more interesting Bednobs

It seems such a shame that in their quest for equality, (and no problem with that, I hasten to add), women have allowed the pendulum to swung too far the other way and all the advantages of being female are hastily being eroded away, thanks to the minority hardcore of so called feminists.

Call me old fashioned, but that is how I like my women. Sqad

or as Mae West said in old fashioned times " When I am good I am very very good and when I am bad.... I'm better "

but that is how I like my women. Sqad
didnt Mae like her men like her coffee - hot and black ?

We all know from the Hogarth Gin Lane etchings that drunkenness is a modern phenomenon

[campbellking]

I live on my own, and don't feel the need to be protected by anybody. I do, however, feel we should show higher regard for those who are more vulnerable, and will happily, for example, give up my seat for an older person, be that a man or a woman. Last week I helped an elderly man who had got into difficulty crossing the road, who was courteous enough to thank me. I just wish that people of both sexes would treat people how they would wish to be treated themselves.

Wow ...it gets even worse!

Fixed your typo's for you AOG.

[pixie374]

Lol :-)

Piltdown man. LOL. I sometimes wish the demographic of AB was a little younger. I work with quite a few women in their early 20s and whilst I'm sure they like their men to be chivalrous, any suggestion that they aren't equal would meet with a very cold shoulder.
