I am tired of asking you to quote the f*cking post so I'll stop. You and I know that the reason why you cannot quote the post is because I didn't call you a hyena in it and you were just labelling false accusations against me.

After you made a false accusation against me you are still asking me if the matter is serious?
Are you kidding me?
What annoys me more is that you are sticking to your lie, you are not even apologetic and you keep pretending you don't know what you did.

This is what I said,

Even a five year old will not interprete this post to mean that I am calling you a hyena.
Just get off my back already, I don't want to continue this issue with you so I'll let it end here.
But if you piss me off enough in your next post then I will reply.

Just because he does not want to admit he was wrong?

Anyway, I don't have a husband that beats me in real life, I am just trying to make life better for women and to empower them from being so dependent on men, that's why you see me preaching gender equality on NL.
Maybe you think I have a wife battering husband because you beat your wife at home smiley

Most of the time I do that and most times other women in the vehicle talk, like on monday when the driver of a bus I was in made a comment about how women are always scared when driving, he said that because one female driver was trying to get into a curve and was delaying his movement since her car was in front of him.
I was sitting close to the driver so I just quietly told him that he shouldn't generalize because of only one woman.
If I was sitting far away from the bus driver I wouldn't have talked to him about it because I would have had to shout to do so and that would be crazy, lol
The driver didn't say anything back tho grin
lol anyway this ain't sexism , and you definitively don't need feminism or whatever you want to call it, to change them. however , I understand them, there are more male drivers, so the way women drive is weird for them, not saying women don't know how to drive. imagine yourself in another country , you will probably consider a of things weird. Men are used to drive a certain way. tongue tongue

Seems we can actually have a rancour free debate ... phew...........

As i have told you countlessly, i believe in social justice and that will clear out most of the issues that arise from your stand

You may call it gender equality or anything else, as long as it does not infringe on another's basic human rights

The reference to you being beaten was a reference to your online persona which i believe displays a high level of aggression towards males, moreover coupled with an intolerance of dissenting opinions. Such persons are usually not as belligerent in their real lives but express this anger via an online alter ego.

Note this is how i perceive your online persona...

It was sexism. The man was discriminiting against the generality of women by saying they are scared when driving, indirectly saying women are not as good as men or as bold as men.
I drive my parents car sometimes and the number of female drivers is roughly the same as male drivers, there is nothing wierd about female drivers on the road biko.

Other than the commercial drivers, there is no difference between male and female drivers and please, the dude was discriminating. Its just like saying that because there are fewer albino driver on the road then that means the albinos are wierd and its ok to make false generalizing statements about them .
There is nothing weird about how women drive, you cameroonpride, have you noticed any differnce between the way women drive and the way men drive in your country?

there's is a lot , i know women who remove their hands on the wheel when someone come close to them .

okay your example doesn't make sense and has nothing to do with what i said .

yes i have noticed. in fact i don't feel comfortable with a female driver that i don't know, i don't even enter in such cars . God forbid if i sleep when a female drive. when they drive they always need a male approval before doing something or will justify any move. grin grin grin

Ps; and
