My original statement and yes, it is actually worded to be uncertain. Glad we agree, then, that the people posting on this thread are predominately from the US.
Then you are the exception that disproves that the individuals here are predominately within the US
I avoid ad hominems personally. When I have actually engaged in such things, I'm very effective at it. I chose not to.
As far as the other posters go, both male and female have made remarks.
P.S. You are still an exception
This cunning game of cat and mouse between you two stubborn people is interesting. Between both your ad hominem attacks, and you just being downright snarky, a lot of self discovery is going on between the two of you. Its interesting that neither one of you will give any credit to the other, even though both of you made some good points.

Alice and Fancy, lets be nice to each other. How bout it?
Like I said, I'm strictly avoiding using ad hominems. How many times has he insulted my intelligence simply based on my gender? How many times have I done the same? (Read--I haven't and I wouldn't because it would be untrue).
I know that he's trying to get a rise out of me and it's not going to happen.
Am I being snarky? Only on the point that he is deliberately twisting others' words in an attempt to personally attack them.
I have a whole lot of opinions about Fancy, himself, that I do not state because they could be construed as ad hominems. I used to be a moderator on several boards myself and am mindful of my host's T&C.

Did you just get dumped or is this a coming out?
Narcissism is a female construct. What else would you expect from a creature who spends an ungodly amount of time before a mirror applying face paint? Narcissism goes to the heart of female selfishness that the original poster ranted about in this Rant forum.
Listen, the fact that this became a long thread means my opinion was at least legit and creative enough to cause conversation.

Overall, the onus on the proof of whether a valid generalization exists is upon the declarant along with also proving that such behaviors do not exist in the opposite gender.

It is selfish to the extent that they do that because they want to be attractive to (all) males. I don't think it is really selfish, just evolutionairy programming...
You want to look more sexy because you want (all) men to find you attractive.

And this all happened because women are now allowed to vote? I'm sorry but you can't be serious.
The idea alone that voting matters anyhow is dumb, the idea that women ruined all aspects of life because they voted in the wrong people or are to blame specifically for socio-economic problems is just retarted, sorry.edit on 9-4-2014 by FancyName because: (no reason given)

If women cast 51% of the vote their way, then all politicians will swing to the female mentality in order to get elected. It's not retarded, it's really quite simple.

Now, ladies, listen up! If we call just sync our Menstrual Cycles we could CONTROL THE WORLD!
Muhahahahah
(cackle cackle)
It's really quite simple and hardly a secret. It's not retarded. People who are slaves to their selective perception will understandably see things differently, but I would not call them "retarded."
Yes, I hoped that you did have a headache in regards to having to think too hard. Sue me.
It's also why I'm reluctant to continually respond to the same statements that you keep dishing out over and over again. Like I've said previously, you're beating a dead horse.
I'd personally rather stay on the right side of the mods than not. My feelings towards you are irrelevant to the discussion.
