Bullying and friends

[andrewducker]

This post rang a lot of bells with me. I was bullied a lot by boys (at an all boys school) - and nowadays a large chunk of my friends are female. I don't think it's nearly as simple as that, but I'm intrigued.

This.

I've a tendency towards androphobia myself. It's something you have to work against. Yup, women can be just as heartevil as men can.

After the last bruhaha with ferret, I'm really not surprised that he'd post about his own sexism. But it's interesting that he'd admit to being treacherous at heart.

I wish he hadn't, though: it just reinforces my own androphobia towards him. I'm sure he's got some likeable qualities. Even if his unlikeable ones are pretty nasty.

So, he realises that his choice in friends is based on having been bullied by a particular kind of person when young, and treated better by a different kind, and posts trying to explain his realisation - and that's _nasty_?

He doesn't say women can't be evil - he says that they weren't, while the boys he knew were. It's understandable that he'd be put off by that. Hell, I was.

Good to see you'll stand in his defence ;}P>

Sadly, you're misreading me. I said his unlikeable qualities were nasty. You've turned my words around somewhat.

You should get that looked at. It might turn malignant ;}P>
