Paranoia? And how am I thinking that you are insulting, harming, or degrading me?Quote:

Nice assumption. Delusional is also a good psychology term to embrace.
Bumpas... your a crazy mofo

Whoah, let's not get into psychologic namecalling. No-one here is delusional or paranoid (or schizophrenic, or obsessive-compulsive, or anything else) until one can show a signed slip from the doctor's.
I'm certified ok.
:crazy:
Then get your flatbed from the dust and present us a freakin' note. :pQuote:

I've created a logoset for our mutual friend/contractor cause I had nothing better to do, wanna see?
Gerbs, that term was NOT directed at you. The statement was a direct reference to my previous post.Quote:

Too clarify, my previous post said that a feminist I know (who is a good friend although we disagree on many issues) said pulling out a women's chair or opening the door for her is "degrading", in that the man is subconsciously saying "women are too weak to do this for themselves"
I then went on to say how when the doorman opens my door for me when I leave the appartment I do not feel degraded. Thus this is obviously in the mind of the person walking through the door.
If you see the doorman as "putting you down" by opening the door then you are paranoid.
I apologise if you thought the statement was directed at you.
I dare to disagree, how do you think I learned linear algebra??Quote:
Seriously though. I don't think the stereotypical librarian can seduce anybody with her sex appeal to force me to learn the Dewey Decimal system.
Flipshark, let me be the first to apologize for my untrue assumption.
However, that level of paranoia is ingrained into the woman/minority via repeated offenses. Think about it this way. If you were treated that way, everyday, you'd start to look for the signs of that a person will treat you in a "second class citizen" manner. And it will ultimately lead to a bit of paranoia.
As a minority, I tend to pick up certain things, especially from racist people. Shake their hand, and watch their reactions... some people I have seen where they shook the man's hand before me and after me, both of the same colour as them, but me? They would slyly wipe their hand on their jacket or such - and no. My hands are not sweaty or wet :p
Also, while walking, seeing women clutch their purse when I walk past. And I'm wearing a suit! Or to even see how security does like to follow me around... and again, I'm usually nicely dressed.
Women, you have to see how men sorta treat them as either an object, somebody weaker to them, or somebody less smart as the men. It would induce some form of paranoia. I've had women friends talk about their jobs, and dude... they go through a mental hell if they were to allow themselves to fully get bothered by what happens, but they have to remain aware of that different treatment. Sorta in a place where if they say something, the people may not even notice their subconscious behaviour. I know I've caught some racists people in the middle of their actions, and they honestly did not know they were doing it. But they realized they were guilty of it.
Just another point of view.
I do understand what you're saying, and it is something I hadn't really considered. But then again this situation does create a paradox of sorts. If you are consciously being overly careful not to act different around someone of a different sex or race, isn't that also another form of sexism/racism?Quote:

In other words, if I act different around someone of a different skin color/race/religion or sex, simply because I'm paranoid that they may be paranoid. Doesn't that sort of keep the prejudice between us?

I believe from experience that 99% of women are equal to men, my mum brought up five boys and 2 girls on her own and as far as i am concerned she did a fantastic job, none of us ever got into any trouble with the police,used drugs or anything like that and she was not able to have a job so she was just living of what the goverment gave her and back then it was a pitence compaired to nowadays,but my mum was also degraded by my dad because he used to physically abuse her in front of us kids, but she faught for her rights and came out on top, and i soon was in her shoes, i got into a relationship with someone that loved to degrade me verbally and physcially and in the end he rapped me because he couldnt have what he wanted and no one has any idea how humiliating and degrading that is when a man does that to you expecially when he keeps contacting you and threatening your sons life as well as your own,so in that 1% of women they find it very very hard to be equal to men when they do things like that and in some cases as well its hard to get a job because you are not a man,reasons i have been knocked back from jobs that men do is you are not strong enough,there is only one toliet any excuse really except for them to admit they just dont want a woman to work there because then its discrimination, i could keep going on but i think that most of you would get the idea at what im trying to say yes to me most woman do have equal rights as men but then there are the few that don't,maybe one day the few women that have been knocked down so many times will find the strenth to stand up and fight for there rights i know that i am and i know i will win i wont let any man bet me down ever again and i will have equal rights as any man.
quite possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life...Quote:

Nonono, not what I meant. I spent like 20 minutes writing, then rewriting, a reply and realized I was jumping into a minefield, so I gave up. But I couldn't keep my mouth shut, so I just wrote what I did. I tend to feel a lot of the prejudism is a chicken and egg thing.Quote:
