I think that you give men far too much credit. Most of us, when seeing a woman cry, are confused and want to leave. Emotion, especially non-violent emotion, is an alien concept. Most of the people that I know (and I am speaking of the males)have a narrow view of the world. Their existance revolves around what affects them. Soft hearts and tears are viewed with suspicion. Few these days can see the truth in sincerity. It is a sad thing, and we lose our humanity for it.
   Excellent writing, by the way.

Thanks for promoting regressive stereotypes, ass.
meh.

So, nB, do you believe idealism is more useful than pragmatism?

I don't see the pragmatism here. Faithless and I are both being idealists.Pragmatically, I doubt it matters.

You think its unlikely that, realistically, a lot of men do behave in the manner Faithless described?

I also believe, realistically, that a lot of men do not, and that less would if they were not constantly bombarded with expectations. I have known plenty of guys who would act stereotypically macho around other guys, but would become considerably more sensitive in a comfortable situation where they knew they would not be judged. Bear in mind, I'm not trying to argue that "all men are as sensitive as women", just that statement made regarding all men, or men in general, are almost never accurate.
meh.

Do you also believe that there are people who read Raymond Chandler mysteries then go out to solve murders?

I would not make the mistake of generalizing all men into any catagory. That would be wrong. What I was referring to is the general insensitivity of the average human male. As a member of the aforementioned, I observe those around me, almost anywhere that I go. My statement was a reflection of what I have seen. It is unfortunate that most males tend to be as I described, but I do not by any means mean all of them.
Oh, sonovabitch.

Welp, another good thread shitted-up.  Good job everyone.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

I liked it. Yes, not all girls are this way or all guys that way, but it would apply to many.

Unfortunately, the guys who really need to read this kind of thing usually don't read this kind of thing.

Oh indeed.

Excellent, Nigel. Found this via Sheered's bump and I liked it a lot. I would add a pair of mittens, but you've got more than you probably know what to do with. :)
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.
