There is nothing new going on here. I have stated before and I will state again if needed, the thing that pisses me off is not a strong, opinionated woman. I feel that I get into debates with HP, GEL, LFL, Lil and even Corri, without getting as emotionally ticked off as I have with MrsNOP. Why the difference? One reason only – in my MrsNOP was mounting a continual “disagreement” over one little point after another in an attempt to push her agenda over mine. There was no rhyme or reason to it other that to try and discredit the entire premise of my position. And it was a position that I had clearly said did not apply to everyone, that I acknowledged was simplistic but that I felt had great, though limited, value.
The fact that I supported Schlessinger’s claim that the feminist movement perpetuates much of this matter is what I think was making MrsNOP mad, and what I think she was trying to cut down. If she doesn’t agree, then she can say so like Corri, GEL and others did. No, don’t minimize what she was really after. Go back and read the posts. There was not one little point that she did not try to challenge. And for what purpose? To shoot holes in what as been acknowledged to be a leaky argument?
I felt before, and I still do now, that she has a strong control nature and tries to exert that control on this board. But what I really hate is someone who does so without wanting to acknowledge the other person’s position. MrsNOP is not interested in a respectable discussion over differing view (though she claims to be). She likes to tactfully pry under as many stones as possible, uncover any inconsistencies she can, and then “win” by having tactfully back you into as much a corner as she can. There can be no other purpose to this that to satisfy her ego. For this reason I never went to lengths to engage her in discussion. I saw this fight coming up months ago.
