Admit One

[the dark side]

sorry this is late, i was up the local comic collectors club last nite (yes, consider that tonites admission, i collect comic books). they had a pretty awesome special guest and no way was i going to miss it.

@hirnwirbel, thanks for explaining the issue in a way i can understand and providing me with those examples, you know, you are more tolerant than you think.

as for the nonsense, well, i came up in a pretty conservative household, with a family with very old fashioned views on gender, my dad worked and my mum stayed home and raised me, and my dad has no patience for my autism issues, its my mum who understands. so, i quess i do have some very traditionalist views on gender, as well, that was my experiences of them from the cradle up. i hope it explains why i sometimes come across as being about 40 years out of date. come on, i live in rural northern england, it is outdated up here sometimes! even if we do have a feminazi problem. so yes, @chronofox i was being serious.

@hirnwirbel, indeed, i was fuming the other night, totally at detonation point, i mean, saying shit about my freind is bad enough, but to actually say it to her and make her cry, that is beyond unacceptable! beleive me i was thinking some very unholy thaughts for a few hours afterwards! you are right, i dont gain much by being very closed minded and so traditional with roles, but, well, im not too sure how to open my mind that much, the fact i can accept strong females at all is thanks primarilly to dianna rigg ("the avengers" re runs), comic books, the old tomb raider titles, the original perfect dark, and the 2 no one lives forever titles, the media can only open my mind so far however, and i am not sure how else to open it, as well, my main experience with women is primarily the church, my mother, and my freind, and all are very traditionalist! its a bit of a catch 22!
