Quoting TheAenigma

Quoting libralady

 I´m tired now  Sleeping 

 

I don´t know about you, but I find it quite easy to disagree with someone without having to turn it into a major feud

 

We disagree....so? 

Do we have to argue all night now?

 

Precisely, that is why I went to bed............ I could hardly keep my eyes open let alone my mind fresh {#lang_emotions_lol} and of course, I had to try out my smilies.

Quoting TheAenigma

  But, as usual, you choose not to notice and would prefer to put me in some kind of "group"

 

 

 

 Easily done, as you are a natural when it comes to pigeon-holing  yourself and many other members

 

Btw,  you´re in grave danger of joining the "pompous" and/or "sanctimonious"  (your descriptions) club.  Does that mean I´ll have to move out? {#lang_emotions_lol_fast}    Oh, and I was enjoying all that time on my own.  GG won´t be happy with you, that´s for sure.  You must remain in her "popular" group and leave me out in the cold.  {#lang_emotions_cry}    (

Quoting TheAenigma

 And I have given my credit on a previous post.  But Libralady (and you) choose to ignore any positive posts I make about any of you

 

You actually make me laugh - all that "hot air and waffle" was so bothersome for you?  Nevermind that it was about REALITY.  Much nicer to read that you can give a couple of pounds to some nice agency and go away with a clear conscience eh?

 

 I said some of the posts were hot air. If some members don´t get it all there own way they seem to resort to bullying and name calling. Libralady´s suggestion about actually doing something instead of talk talk talking about it seemed refreshing. I know it might take a long time to make a difference.

Support Amnesty International - why don´t we as a collective group, support the activities of Amnesty International? 

 

It is not a feminist issue, but a human rights issue.  So come on friends in TC, male of female, let us do something collectively instead of arguing the finer points.  We all agree it is an issue that should not exist in the 21st Centuary.

 

http://www.amnesty.org.uk/content.asp?CategoryID=10220 Link is not working, so here it is.

 

Great idea libralady. If not Amnesty International some sort of group that offers hands on support. In my area there are shelters for abused women. I take food, cloths and useful items there. I have also taught some classes that helps the women and children.

 

As for hands on "one to one" help, often these women are in such a state of emotional and psychological trauma, it´s difficult to do, and can be counterproductive,  unless one is trained and has the required resources.

 

Like some here have mentioned, getting a black eye or bloody nose are not the all that can happen. Of course, if you are in a situation where the abuse is in front of you, you should take action, but be very careful and get backup fast. Thinking about plans of action in advance is the best idea.

 

There are truly some horror stories of abuse of female victims of rape. Women are left with not only emotional scars, but horrid wounds that need surgucal intervention. There are organizations that provide medical needs, but they need money.

 

Here is one that helps women with fistula, not a pretty subject, but it is one where major life altering changes for the better can happen with a relatively small amount of money.

I have deleted my post, because I think I was wrong and impolite to say those, though I didnt mean it rude. I have not deleted the posts in which I was quoted, not to delete anything other members have said.

 

Sorry for the offence, misunderstanding and inconvenience I have caused, it wasn´t my intention to do so at all, and sorry for the ones who have taken it much more personal than I ever wrote it to be.

 

Apologies
