At the end of the day, this is the real point. It[i] does[/i] say a lot about who those people really are, and if this thread is any indication then I think it's really telling that those people don't like to be called out. You kind of proved my point for me, actually.[/quote]

What's that supposed to mean? Like I said I RP with everyone, of both the male and female variety, regardless of skin color, age or whatever other criteria they may meet. I didn't prove jack shit. That's you putting an assumption onto me. 

[quote=@Drache]And please, I never said I wanted or intended to dictate how this forum handles RP or what the forum rules are. In fact, I have said the opposite several times, in case you missed it. This thread is long and I know it's probably hard to keep up but you're going over things that have already been said by others.[/quote]

I'm just repeating it because you didn't seem to hear it before. Sometimes, people need to be told the same thing over and over again, louder and louder, before it hits them in the head like a brick, and then they get it. 

Or, y'know, just keep screaming sexism. Make everyone think you're one of those people.

[quote=@Drache]Also, without actually linking you to the women's shelter I donate to and volunteer at in my hometown, let me just say that it's a proven fact that jealousy and restricting a person from who they talk to online is a huge indication of a partner that is likely to end up becoming even more controlling and violent in the future and my recommendation will ALWAYS be for someone to leave a person like that because jealousy doesn't go away. But this is a separate issue and I spend a good deal of time in real life working with domestic abuse survivors, so feel free to PM me if you want to talk about that. <3[/quote]

OK ms. goody two shoes, I'm really glad you do all that work for women and all, but that doesn't change the fact that jealousy is a totally normal emotion to feel, ignoring the fact that neither does your volunteer work mean fuck all in the context of a debate. I work at the Defense but that doesn't mean I'm gonna start shouting my opinion of ICBM's off the roof. I'd like to read the study that states jealousy in whatever large or small amounts is objectively correlative with controlling and violence. Frankly I think you sucked that entire 'fact' out of your thumb. 

Your recommendation, similarly, doesn't mean jack shit, just like your assumption about me, because it's based on thin air and anecdotes. If you want to advise someone to do that, however, be my guest. It says more about you than me because while you're venting your, quite frankly, stupid opinion, I'll just roll my eyes and think 'wow who would've known people like this exist.' Jealousy doesn't have to go away. Small amounts of jealousy are normal and healthy. 

If your significant other never feels jealous, [i]never ever[/i] then perhaps you need to consider how he thinks of you. Maybe you're just one of many. Me personally, I'd prefer to be the only one, but from my understanding you have different views of that. That's OK. No outspoken public judgement from me. I'd just ask that you don't judge me either.

Give those women in your shelter my regards. I feel really sorry for them. Both for what they went through, and then getting stuck with someone like you. That [i]sucks.[/i]

Sincerely, someone who definitely feels jealous sometimes, and is definitely not controlling or violent towards my partner(s).
