Remembering myself, Part II

[Dom R]

"ignorance"??

First, you poo-poo'd my ideas, because you had done "so much research", and I had "so little experience".

So, I took the time to detail, that i have had experience...actual direct personal experience, that you lack, and will never have yourself...

When you made a flawed statement of fact about how I[and by inference, all men] would feel about a situation, I corrected you, and took efforts to explain why and how you were wrong about it...

Yet after all that, when it came down to being faced with absolute proof that you were wrong, ... rather than having the grace and dignity to say, "oops.. I never realized that... I was wrong..." you choose to pretend like you are still right, and that I am a naive ignorant?

I would have hoped that all your "aging, advanced experience" would have taught you more wisdom and grace than that.
Someone "your age", should be able to admit they were wrong, with more dignity.

Someone your age, should realize by now, that for a woman to claim "men are this way", in the face of a man saying, "no, not all men are this way", is worse than ignorance.

I'm sure that your books on the subject of ED gave you a great deal of comfort and help during your issues with your husband. That's great. I was just joking about "throwing out the books".. Of course they have value. But thinking that they are 100% correct in everything, is foolish.
If a book tells me, "All flowers are yellow", and I find something that I know to be a flower, and it is blue.... then the book is incomplete.

ignoring the blue flower, and saying, "nope, the book is right!" is ignorant.
