Clarie,

Just take a deep breath and remember:

Re: Russ is sexist.
 

See there is no way, even in jest I am going to lower myself and the rest of man kind by making comments such as that.
I understand the full impact of what happened now, and Claire I apologise for my comment, but at the time I was merely saying what I thought from the information Russ posted. Most people here will tell you I dont mince myt words I say what I think. I know it can offend people and I will apologise when I think I was in the wrong.
However, I think that Russ has rushed to label himself sexist still, an apology would have been enough, branding himself sexist is just going too far.
He was being himself and the comments and actions he comes out with are what make him, him. By pointing out what he has said is sexist and making him "realise he is sexist" you have forever changed him. Part of him will be missing and thats the part he will not show again in front of you and your friends.

I appreciate that it wasnt your aim to change him, but unfotunately that is the consequence. It can be argued it may have changed him for the better, but again that is a matter of oppinion.

Again, I apologise if I have offended you by my previous post, It was poorly written.

Re: Russ is sexist.
 

Thanks for the apology, I appreciate it. However I must disagree here again, with no disrespect to your opinion intended. I do not agree that I have changed Russ forever, nor that from now on part of him will be missing. I simply don't want him to make sexist jokes in front of me. To suggest that part of him will be forever missing is, forgive me, a little dramatic to say the least. If I had the power to irreversibly change people forever then I would no doubt be in a very well paid government job. ;)

No, you'd be teaching ME how to do it :D

Re: Russ is sexist.
 

But Clare, there is a part of Russ missing, and it will be forever.

It's his hairline :disturbd:




Russ, I'm sorry, but there's no way I could let that one past :p:



EDIT: :welcome: by the way :)

Re: Russ is sexist.
 

Haven't read the whole thread but here's my 2p anyway...

I can change my own tyre, polish my own shoes and put a shelf up. But if my boyfriend wants to hold the door open for me, pull a chair out for me, take my coat, offer me his if I'm cold or carry my bags for me I'll gladly accept. PCness gone mad has ruined everything and make things that are good old fashioned chivalry and turned it into a form chauvanism. Which is sad. I'm independent, emotionally and financially, but if my other half wants to make me feel special or cared for and protected, I'm not going to refuse....

Very well put OrangeBird.

Well put OB and yes I do apreciate being treated with courtesy and respect as do most women (I suspect). To me good manners are very PC and it all just goes to helping make the world a more pleasant place to live.
