alameda, honestly, I don´t understand how somebody as intelligent as you can be so completely uninsightful.  Your posts are condesending and insulting to many members.  Perhaps many members are unsulting as well, but at least they acknowledge their shortcoming.  You are content to insult people and then act surprised when you get the reaction that you deserve.  Your posts are irritating to many of the more feminist women here.  Just because we happen to agree with eachother about your posts, doesn´t mean we always agree with eachother.  GG and I have vastly different political views, but NEVER once has she insinuated that I am stupid.  You have a habit of talking down to people and then claim how culturally sensitive you are when you can´t even be sensitive to people from your own culture!

 First of all, you do realize the US is a multicultural country, don´t you? So when you say "people from my own culture" I find it curious. Obviously I am not culturally kin to the people you discuss, and choose to align yourself with.

As for my posts being irritating, they irritate the same people over and over again. Those same people have attacked others who they don´t feel are "liberated" enough. They constantly make fun of Turkish/Islamic society. Others seem to be athiest evangelists, constantly picking arguments and undermine others beliefs.

Femminist? How about the other side?  I don´t swallow "their" idea of femminism, I prefer to be more concerned with humanity, not one gender in particular. I think some females idea of being femminist is unrealistic and also chauvenistic. If I express that, that is my right. It is not being insulting if I don´t agree.

I also don´t think I have ever called you stupid, that is your interpretation of things, not anything I have said.

Anyway, this is tedious. You girls have fun cackling over my posts. Glad to see I´ve provided some entertainment for you.

 Tell me dear sweet innocent alameda....when have you ever seen a post of mine that is insulting Turkish or Islamic society?  When have you ever seen a post of mine that is spouting my religious beliefs? 

I think she was talking about me, I recall she didn´t like me criticizing the impact of religions on people´s behavior. However when DD posted a summary of what I said she applauded her post.  

 No, she was talking about "us".  We are all the same in her thin little book.

So you mean I´m not the atheist evangelist?

 Oh no...you are...we all are.  We are all lumped together as god-hating-turk-bashing-mean-girl-imbecile--feminist. 

 Will this be the GHTBMGIF-gang? (Couldn´t you come up with something easier to remember?)
