Iron, Moray is one of those big heads that knows a lot but apparently lost his sense of impartiality... He can't even recognize what Lazs actualy thinks and means. So he's in fact very honestly sure of himself that Lazs is indeed a [redneck/biker/criminal/etc] that behaves as he does for the reasons Moray best guesses ("Little lonely?", which probably says more about Moray than Lazs), and will go as far down that mistaken path as the thread allows (lock can't be too far away now).
Same with Angus and to a lesser degree Tigeress.
Rolex said it a while back to the sound of crickets, but truly, if you can't see through the eyes of the other, you're sorta stuck on stupid
Hi m00t!
Personally speaking, I think I am quite empathetic... but it's difficult in some cases to understand why someone claims diametrically opposed humanity... that is to say... that I can't possibly understand because I have no male nads lol then be dismissed as a bit of inconsequential fluff. hahahahahahaha
I do think I am getting a pretty good handle on Laz in spite of his dismissal of me on the basis of being a woman. It may not be in the way he thinks of himself but there can be more than one valid paradigm.
He is clearly demonstrating that he sees himself as, that he believes himself to be, a Renaissance Man and thus sets himself up to be challenged. It's clear to me he enjoys the challenge.
It's fun to poke at that to see what happens! Nothing personal, mind you... I actually like him. Although he doesn't apparently know it, I don't disagree with him on everything he says on the subject of M v F.
In my view, he is intelligent and mischievous and exhibits a bigger than life propensity towards male pomposity to stir a hornet's nest and watch the swarm buzzing around, and for other reasons.
The fact that I am a woman allows me to see men from the outside... to more clearly perceive hormonally driven behaviors for what they are.
I have always found self-confident men to be attractive. That is my estrogen bias. He clearly understands that in women. It doesn't mean he thinks like a woman... rather, that his external paradigm on what/why women find men attractive is no less valid as far as it goes. …although, imho, he still has far to go.
Many, if not all, men have a streak of fragility with regards to their egos... feminists exploit this. Women, such as myself, who like men are more protective of it.
I see male ownage of males as hormonally driven ego busting/ego boosting behavior... but the power of intellect surpasses... in spite of hormonally/instinctually driven dominating behaviors.
And,
that is one of the many reasons I have a lot of respect for Moray. He is all male and a
humanist.
