Indeed, the conversation has become warped. What just happened here is quite typical of American society. Someone takes something someone else says and warps it around to mean something else.
I need not re-quote what I said, however if you go back and re-read it, you will find that not only did I never imply that all women are "trailer trash", in fact, I implied by my very comment that there are indeed women who are NOT trailer trash.
My comment basically says that there are different types of women. Yes skirts-dad, some women are trailer trash, and some are not, and nobody is perfect, but American culture has it's fair share of men and women alike that are indeed "trash", and quite a few that are not. I'm not going to apologize or get a dressing down for speaking the truth.
Just as I do not know all women, nor do you. Of course I realize not all women are trailer trash, however I HAVE met my fair share (who I do/did know by the way) who fit the bill... and I've met many who don't.
Why is it when I say "not all men are rapist" the female rape culture gets all up in arms, and yet when I make a remark that there is a percentage of the female population that is... shall we say, less desirable, these same type of people get upset with me because I had the audacity to claim that not all women are faultless??
Now I understand what you're saying, and I agree there are indeed some upstanding women (and men) in the world. Quite possibly in the majority even. However in no place in my comment above (quote it if you can) did I ever imply many or most women are trailer trash. My use of the word "typical" has been taken out of context here.
Let's stop reading into every thing I say as though I've got some ax to grind all of the time. I'm not asking, I'm demanding, it's wearing thin and I'm getting tired of it. When I read comments on this board, often times I read something that could be taken either way but I endeavor to give the writer the benefit of the doubt and assume he meant no ill by the comment. Why I can't get the same in return is a mystery to me. But it's going to stop, or I'll zip my mouth shut online and off and go mute. I'm not some backwoods hillbilly monster, and I go through great lengths to not be offensive to people. But I'm starting to realize it's a futile effort. Hence my little rant here. It seems like someone's always got to get offended by every little thing that comes out of my mouth...
It stops today.
