Yup. There are plenty of male stereotypes that piss me off. If I'm lucky enough to have a son,I don't want him growing up thinking his role is to be stupid, or that if he shows emotions or sensitivity, he's weak.
I could rant on, but my boys at work are about to wake up. They are sweet, sensitive, loving little souls, and I for one am going to nurture that. With all the hugs and kisses I can get away with.
You constantly argue with the members of this community over trivial matters such as their typically acceptable use of words.
I believe you are in violation of your own rules #5 (by not having a sense of humour), #6 (by not getting along with others. I think it's time for you to walk away graciously, instead of instigating arguements and causing irritation), and you are most certainly in violation of rule #8, as you continually oppose your beliefs onto others.
Thus, I believe I have the right to ask you: Why are you creating divisions in society?
This is not a trivial matter. It is very important for early childhood development.
Children have a propensity to absorb information and to retain much of this throughout their lives (at least conceptually). If you instill information in them which is incorrect, they will probably grow up believing in things which do not exist in reality. This often does cause confusion and grief later in life.
This is how these Archaic concepts are perpetuated through the generations. If you are a nurturing mother, and you are unsure about the validity of something, please take the time to research these, or ask someone who knows.
They are sensitive and loving little people.
I have studied Early Childhood Development while obtaining my qualifications as a childcare professional. You are not a parent, nor are you a childcare professional. I don't usually like to say I know more than anyone else about any given subject, but I have a feeling I know more than you here.
Children are not stupid sponges. They have the ability to question their environment. I encourage that. I don't harrass them, like you harrass people who do not share your views. I have no problem with you having your views, in fact, some of your 'rules' are quite good. My issue is you seem to think you have superiority to us all and have the right to push your rules on us.
Again, I refer you to your own rule #6 "Try to get along with others. If you can't get along, graciously walk away or try to negotiate a mutually agreeable separation." People here have repeatedly told you they are not interested, yet you insist on harrassing.
In a similar vein, I refer you to your rule #8 "Do not impose your beliefs on others. Healthy discussion / debate is allowable." You have, by harrassing people despite their requests that you stop, gone beyond discussion or debate, healthy or otherwise. You are imposing your beliefs on others. Therefore, you lose credibility.
I had made no pretense that I was an Early Childhood Development professional, nor did I assert that I am a parent. This does not necessarily mean that I am not knowledgeable, in such matters. This is partly why I had asked for mothers to research the validity of these things, or to consult with a person who does know.
My experience, of late, is that humans are, in fact, stupid, selfish, greedy and stubborn.
It is a matter of contention, whether we actually are 'sponges'. It is now well known, that our earliest multicellular ancestors, were, in fact, 'sponges'. This information is readily available, for anyone who is interested.
I do not intend to 'harass' anyone. Your presumption that I have "superiority to us all", is incorrect. I feel quite differently from this. I feel that we should all endeavor to strive for a society which promotes equality among all people, with the mindset of a co-existence with the other life forms we share this planet with, in a sustainable manner.
I am merely providing information. It is your decision (and not yours alone), whether or not to accept the information provided. Please be forewarned, however, that I will challenge anyone who dismisses outright, the information provided, through ignorance, greed, stubbornness, selfishness, contempt, etc. I am also human, and therefore, fallible. Any person is also welcome to challenge me, for this reason.
I agree with you somewhat, that the Rules create a slight imposition on others.
My rebuttal to this, is that the Rules are far less of an imposition on us, than the multitudinous restrictive and oppressive laws that we are currently subject to. It is my belief, that if we all strive to live in accordance with the Rules, then much of this restrictive and oppressive legislation could be expunged and / or repealed.
As I had stated previously, it is my belief that so-called 'rights', should be earned through responsible behaviour.
I apologise if I have been somewhat overbearing. I have had an immense responsibility in attempting to Enlighten the world. It came much as a surprise to me. I had no idea myself, that after realizing the actual nature of the Universe, that this would become my responsibility.
"Your presumption that I have "superiority to us all", is incorrect. I feel quite differently from this."

"I agree with you somewhat, that the Rules create a slight imposition on others."
Not what I am saying. I am saying that the way you force these upon us all continually is the issue. Yes, you have a right to your beliefs. But it does not do you any good to harrangue people as you do. You constanty correct people's usage of words - when there is no need. You seem to be the only person who ever doesn't understand what these people are attempting to convey.
"I have had an immense responsibility in attempting to Enlighten the world"
Exactly why I worry for your mental health. Illusions of grandeur are a sign of serious mental illness. You are not the sole moral compass for this world.
My point is that you seem to have had a misunderstanding about what charli.m originally said. She was not CALLING them 'souls,' in a literal sense of the word, she was just speaking of their personal characteristics as people. Saying that they are 'sweet little souls' is basically just saying that they are special in a good way :)
Furthermore, in my experience, that is completely normal to say something like that in that manner.
Is it normal that I believe men are being portrayed as morons?

Thank you. That makes this momma smile. :)
Your boys are not "souls".
Please describe the Physical properties of a 'soul'.
They might be sensitive and loving little people, but they are not 'sweet', nor are they 'souls'.

I'm not a mother.

Please kindly go rule 6 yourself.
You also answered none of my points.

Your behaviour would indicate otherwise.

I should not write comments at 3am. Blah
Why are you taking what she said so literally?
In my experience, it is quite normal to refer to the nature of someone's soul (eg: sweet, loving, sensitive, etc.)
