Why don’t more ladies post in some of the off-beat threads, like GAL and Politics? We always treat women with respect. However, if you want to argue and throw insults, those are some really great activities. I mean, let’s face it: ‘Bra Rash’? ‘Getting Ready for a Wedding’? Snnnnoooooorrrreeeee…
Come over and throw some insults, tell us how Hillary got ‘pokerized’, and why raiding a quilting thread out of Britain was just plain wrong!!
What if my adopted daughter from China invites you? :)[/quote]
You might try practicing: “My daughter.” “My daughter.” “My daughter.” Maybe if you say it enough times without the self-congratulatory add-ons, you’ll actually sound like someone who is capable of parenting a child.
You don’t sound heroic when you talk about the box your daughter was born in. You sound tactless and cruel. You don’t sound smart or successful when you talk about your wife’s tenure. You sound weak and insecure.
For the love of God, stop. It’s painful to witness.
That’s the girl you were debating buying a vibrator for?
Dude…

Wow, what a bitter and unhappy person you are! I post a pic of my beautiful little girl (who is now 7) and you turn it into something like this? Such bitterness!
Look, don’t be so upset when you see someone with a fulfilling life. Build your own. Don’t go through life bitter that no man would have you on a stick. You bought into the idea of the modern woman and got fooled. Such is life, if you don’t think it out.
Find a decent man at the AA meeting or rehab and go from there. Sheessshhhh…

Yes, presumably that’s the very child HH saved from a rat-infested cardboard box in China when he told his tenured-professor wife who earns quite a lot of money that he, he himself, Headhunter, wasn’t satisfied merely devoting his life to children professionally as a down-trod teacher of mostly imbeciles and only occasionally an intellectual diamond in the rough, but he wanted to take it one step further and actually save a girl child from her life of certain misery if not for him.
Of course, he was only kidding about the vibrator. You know, trolling. Checking to see if anyone is a hypocrite. Because HH wouldn’t exploit anyone for his own satisfaction or perceived gain.
Hi, HH. Let’s see, you’ve previously called me a girl (ouch!). Now you’re further suggesting that I’m unhappy, bitter, manless, un-had (lol) and…drunk? How do you do it? It’s like you know my every weak spot. Such unerring accuracy, it’s astounding.

Oh, Emily…somehow I just knew this thread would take a twist like this. Did you not?
My thoughts on the child subject: should that really be your child, she is lovely and very precious and it would be in poor taste for me to say otherwise. She really is a beautiful child. However, when you want to come out into the public and brag (for lack of a better word) about what a wonderful person you are for giving her a better life, that is your reward. If that doesn’t make sense, it never will.

HH is a troll but you’re an asshole for ripping him. What have YOU done to help the world? So he brags a little about getting a kid out of poverty. What’s your mental problem about that?
I thought you were a woman too. What exactly are you? Let’s here what you’ve done. How have you made the world better other than talking shit from mommy’s basement?

Yes, the little girl is beautiful. No question. You’d think that would be what her father focused on, wouldn’t you? Rather than the horrible, hurtful things that happened to her 7 years ago.
Standndeliver, lol. Wow. You’ve caught me off guard. I’ll have to think about what you’ve said. Plus, I’m on my way out.

EmilyQ, let me start off by saying you always have good posts and I agree with the things you say almost 100% of the time. I don’t think that HH deserved what you said UNLESS he hopped on one of your threads and ripped you apart first (then I hang my head). I think I saw somewhere that you are a counselor? Maybe you are reacting strongly due to what you see daily.
I thought HH was just trying to be funny but everyone takes things differently.
I agree with Tootles. Honestly who doesn’t brag about their kids? and if one of yours would be living a horrible life or worse, dead, if she weren’t with you, I think a parent would have some pretty strong feelings about that.
I’m not a parent, so I could be completely off base… OK, this is a really lame analogy, but our current dog is a rescue, and my feelings are that if we hadn’t rescued him, he may have been euthanized or ended up in someone’s backyard for the rest of his life.
So part of the relationship involves feelings of having avoided a tragedy… that tragedy being my not having this wonderful companion. Sort of like a reverse fear… Now, if I were to adopt a child, I’d really think I’d have the same type of feelings, only much stronger.
I assume that whatever statements are being taken as offensive are coming from this reality having a normal dynamic in the parent/child relationship. Hey, I could be wrong, I’m certainly no shrink, so please correct me if I am assuming incorrectly.
However, Headhunter, I do hope you don’t refer to your daughter as being “my adopted daughter” 100% of the time. I didn’t think anything of it because I wouldn’t have known if you didn’t specify.
HH is a crusty and provocative guy with a good heart. This is a place with thousands of people and just as many opinions and personalities, but there’s no need to start individual wars over them.
All that said, and back to the topic, I like it when guys participate in the Powerful Women discussions. It’s nice to have male input on any topic. I stay away from politics for the sake of my blood pressure. I enjoy religious and philosophical debates but they usually get way too heated and illogical pretty quickly, so, avoid those too.
Damn Emily!
Everyone knows his daughters nickname is “Po’ Girl from China, Whom I saved”

A lot of women need that advice, myself included. I enjoy hearing something other than YOGA AND LETTUCE from 99% of the population (not here!). If nothing else, it’s nice to know there are guys out there who appreciate girls who don’t try and replicate the malnourished body type our culture loves so much.
I’m speaking out of a very long lifestyle of body dysmorphia and eating disorders, and men telling women it’s OK to eat substantively is really quite a big deal for me to hear. So don’t sell yourself so short.

I admit, I was rather amused by the mental picture of a guy dressed like a Spanish conquistador trotting along behind me holding my boobs while I grocery shop and walk the dog and attend classes.

It would be a real bitch to try and run that way.
I think that it would be easier if there where two, one on each side taking care of one boob a piece.

That actually sounds quite comfy; it would make a good bra commercial:
“Los Manos. The bra so comfortable it feels like your breasts are being gently cupped by a Spanish conquistador.”

I’d buy that! VS has stopped making my favorite, this would be a wonderful replacement. I hate it when they discontinue something you love!
