Yes, Really

[poliphilo]

One of the stimulating things about LJ is that you never know when the Messerschmidts are going to come diving at you out of the sun.

Mainly you're among friends, but it's a public arena and anything is possible.

I like it that it's public. Yeah, I do really.

Ouch
Ouch
Ouch.

Wow, I just read the comments that I think are the ones in question. I do "sort of" see what she means, but she doesn't know you at all, and frankly, while I don't really know you either, I think that there are plenty of guys on LJ who better deserve such attacks. I don't know you in person, obviously, but from reading your entries and comments, you seem to me to be anything but a chauvinist or a man who wants women to feel inferior. Even though I admit that many men scare me, I hate these so-called feminists who attack men for simply being men. Like that equates them with misogynist pigs. I also commend you for seeing it as interesting and lively. I'd probably be annoyed if I saw something like that left in my journal :)

Thanks, Jess.

Yeah, well no-one likes being shouted at, but I've gotten over that bit now- and the conversation that has developed since has been fascinating.

I see what she's getting at too. It's just that she's so bloody angry.

Yeah, that's just it: she doesn't even freakin' know you! ;)

She's angry at men. I am a man. Therefore she's angry at me. I get the feeling there's nothing I could do or say that would make much difference.
