I Admire Old Chivalry Traditions

The feminists will go crazy at me I know but what's wrong with being put on a pedestal? Why is a little romantic gesture so abhorrent? Why does a man have to be treated so poorly when so many of them will worship the ground you walk on? Do they want to destroy hetero relationships, and the future completely?

I think the point was that back in the day, women weren’t given options. They generally couldn’t pursue a higher education or start a career outside a minimal amount of fields. No one cares if a man is being polite or romantic, the issue was preventing women from living the life they want. Hence why feminism started. You’re not being put on a pedestal if you’re being held back.

@666Maggotz So, what about today? None of us live back in the day, whenever that us, what about now. May a woman be put on a pedestal now, where there is more freedom for a woman to choose where she wants to be>

I’m talking about the original point of feminism. I have a friend in her 70’s who was forced to drop out of school at 16 because that’s when the female education ended in her day.

And exactly, but without feminism we would not be here. No one needs special treatment. You’re an adult. Act like one, you don’t need special treatment for having a vagina.

I imagine you meant "We're adults, act like one, we don't need special treatment for our sex." Strange how it seemed like you are used to lecturing. I'm sure you have never used your femininity to have advantage:) No one would do that! No males would use their masculinity either:)

666Maggotz · F

No. I’ve never used my feminity to my advantage. I have never been that desperate, or pathetic, to need to. My skill set and ability is all I need. If not, I will leave the situation, as it must be toxic if I need to use such tactics to get ahead. And I speak street, man. That’s all I know. @Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

Really? and you speak street. And that does not reflect any aspect of sexuality?

666Maggotz · F

No? What does using slang and improper use of grammar have to do with sexuality. Boi I am a dyke. I would never bother even trying to flirt with a man to get ahead. Men are are good for friends, that’s it. @Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

Dykeness does not mean you don't use sexuality!

666Maggotz · F

I can’t flirt. That’s why I’m single. I can’t even fake laugh at peoples jokes. @Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

It is a social skill to learn, to survive even in a committed relationship. What has stopped your learning?

666Maggotz · F

I haven’t deemed it necessary. I look up to the philopher Diogenes. He supported being honest. Saying what he wanted and doing what he wanted. I decided I wanted to be 100% true to myself as well. If you’re not funny, I’m not laughing. That’s just the facts.@Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

And so no room for white lies?

666Maggotz · F

Diogenes wouldn’t tell white lies. I felt better about myself since I took on his philosophy. So no white lies either. @Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

So, you know Diogenes personally or through the writings he released publicly?

666Maggotz · F

Do you know anything of Greek philosophy? His actions inspired me to be the person that made me most satisfied. That’s all that matters to me.

@Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

I do know of Greek and Roman philosophy. I accept it is some of the writings of some very smart and insightful people. I thought females would also be as insightful?

666Maggotz · F

I don’t see why that is relevant. Are the insightful because they are female? I would not say they are. Am I insightful? Yes I am. Because I remain true to myself at all times. @Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

They may have been less insightful or more insightful. We will never know. It would have been nice to have a choice

666Maggotz · F

What are you talking about lol 😂 go to sleep, old man. @Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

You don;t understand plain english. Sorry about that. Sorry you have to resort to rudeness.

666Maggotz · F

Lol I’m sorry you need to have this stupid ass conversation 😂 you’re starting to bore me now. Byeee grandpa @Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

So sorry if the conversation was too difficult for you. When I hear someone say "You are starting to bore me", I realise they are full of hot air and don;t quite understand the topic. Enjoy yourself here. Grow up please!

666Maggotz · F

Lol I said my piece and then you started talking about some irrelevant shit outside of feminism and it’s importance. I’m not interested in discussing philosophy with you, since you obviously know nothing of Diogenes or philosophers in his time. 🤷‍♀️ I don’t understand why you would think females would be more insightful either. You make absolutely no sense. Take your meds. @Zeusdelight

Zeusdelight · 61-69, M

Ho Hum!

666Maggotz · F

@Zeusdelight

Do you want me to say you win or something? i would say you have a Pyrrhic victory, but am not sure you would understand
