    Do you actually? You must have difficulty getting out of bed in the morning if such mild opinions evoke that strong an emotion in you.

          I consider myself a feminist as I do all the cooking in my house
          Good points made on the live poker scene,esp re female dealers,if you’ve never scene some shady shit there you are blind
          Think the whole debate would be a lot more reasonable if we could get rid of all the Twitter lunatics on both sides

I can easily categorise someone based on their actions and their reaction to being called out, but feminism says it's all just rape culture. There's no reliable way to tell the difference between banter, creeping and harassment for them. It's all subjective, therefore they are all the same thing. Postmodernism innit.
                Andy read that back to yourself and if you don't see why this is an outrageously wrong headed piece of sexist bollocks then I would suggest you take a good hard look at whats going on in your thinking.

                I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and suggest that maybe that you are confusing feminism with the drool from a few gobshites on twitter


                Edit: that was an instant reaction, Ed answers AFB much better above

                  I would suggest the over analysers are bollocks. Its quite simple really, men are predatory bastards and wimmin are overreactionary bitches . However most men don't give in to their predratory instinct and most wimmin don't get sexually abused.
                  This troubles both sides as the men who manage to control themselves feel slighted to be compared and the wimmin who don't get abused are outraged that it was a possibility but mostly that they are all a bad situation from an attack from a normal horny joe. Imagine what would happen if Helen Mirren fell asleep on SPs couch. hmm probably say a poem to her.



                  now if someone could direct me to the hills I believe the pitchforks are being sharpened.

                        A guy in Donegal told me this joke - sexist in content warning

                        A boss said to his secretary, “I want to have SEX with you I will make it very fast.

                        I’ll throw $1000 on the floor, by the time you bend down to pick it I’ll be done.”

                        She thought for a moment then called her boyfriend and told him the story.

                        Her boyfriend then said to her, do it but “Ask him for $2000, pick up the money very fast he wouldn’t even have enough time to undressed himself.”

                        So she agrees.

                        Half an hour goes by, the boyfriend decides to call girlfriend, he asks, “what happened?”

                        She responds, “The Bastard used coins I’m still picking and he is still going!”

                          Beautiful strippers are terrifying.

                          You'd want a 4-7 for that kind of activity imo.

                            Got a hole in one yesterday! Par 3, 135 yards, uphill. Caught it sweet off the tee and it landed about 8ft before the hole and rolled in.

                              Really enjoying The Deuce. I wonder is this what watching The Wire from the start felt like ? So much potential.

                              Awaiting the horrible season 2...

                                    I've been playing 5 years, shot 89 once and don't know how I did it, havn't gotten close since (was at Silverwings out by the airport if you've played it, a forgiving course, wide open and no trees but usually shoot between 95-102).
                                    Where did you go for your lessons?

                                      Golf is a terrible game if you're in any way obsessive or competitive. I got mad into it about 4 years ago, got down to 14 handicap and shot 79 as my best score...then fizzled haven't played in 18 months odd. Realised I'd never be as good as I wanted and bad shots drove me far crazier than the good ones gave me enjoyment.

                                              Got my lessons off Todd Halpen - the biggest improvement for me was dropping the driver. I'd back myself to hit GIR from 180 back in the rough or fareway a lot more than I would from 140 back from the fucking trees.

                                                Thats some great progress. Cant stress how good lessons at an early stage are to stop bad habbits before they start.
                                                Whats wrong with the driver??

                                                  I get plenty of rounds in myself, having the motivation to go the range is my problem, get bored after hitting 20 balls. Off the tee box I'm terrible, should really leave the driver at home like yourself.

                                                  Myself and a friend were actually looking into lessons with Todd Halpen at the start of the summer but never pulled the trigger, I assume he's worth it?

                                                    The Times of India is a wonderful read.

                                                    All crime stories invariably refer to 'goons'. Comments usually end up with someone calling the goons 'cowrapists'. Which seems to settle matters to everyones satisfaction.

                                                            Didn't know it was a one-off to be honest, assumed it was a series though it was a pure guess at the number of episodes.
                                                            Not sure how they can do the story justice in such a short format to be honest.

The above method was how I brought my shooting down. He had me concentrage on slicing/hooking then fading/drawing then finding a "relatively straight ball flight" that was in my sweet spot.

                                                                          This isn't some whacky fringe idea manifested only on Tumblr. This is mainstream feminism as taught in gender studies classes all over the world. Primarily this was developed in American humanities depts, but it has spread from there into the general discourse.

                                                                          As you can see from the pyramid, banter is actually the same thing as rape, just manifested on a lower part of the scale. This is why it can be claimed that talking about strippers is essentially the same thing as sexual harassment. This is why it can be claimed that casual locker room talk is just as harmful as molestation once you think about it. And this is the framework by which it can be claimed that false accusations of sexual harassment are merely banter. It's all just rape culture, right?

Sounds like you have a steep back swing which would explain why your short mid irons are good. Id be trying to flatting out the backswing with the driver and woods.
                                                                                              Dose your coach record your lessons?
                                                                                              Nah its always been a slice, wicked. Like... 200 yards off line slice

                                                                                              Coach start me whipping it mad the other way to get the feel for the completely opposite swing, and I've been working in from there. Im getting there... I went down tonight and despite the odd mistake my slice is basically gone, hooking a little bit now, but 80% of the time its reasonably straight.

                                                                                              Which is good. As Long as I know which side Im gonna miss, and consistently miss I can fix it.

                                                                                              Yeah I've only had two lessons, one on irons and one on driver (as requested). But they are recorded for me to have a look at my swing. Its come a loooooooooong way.
                                                                                              This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

                                                                                                Its not a mild opinion. Ask a couple of women what their worst experiences are with men and you might begin to understand why. Men live in a much safer and oblivious world than women do. I was playing poker last year and I knew the female dealer quite well. I happen to know that she was the victim of a violent sexual attack a few years ago. A drunk guy sits down at the table and proudly announces that he is there to "rape" the table, and questioning who wants to be the first "victim". I'll never forget the glance she gave me. He didn't mean any harm, but this is clearly very upsetting for the dealer. This is a good example of the different world men and women live in. For most men rape is something that happens on TV or on the news, but its either a real incident for women, a near miss or a real fear. Anyone who thinks the current situation is ok is either grossly misinformed or a terrible person in my opinion.

I helpfully quoted the statement I had an issue with, so I'm not quite sure how you could have gotten them mixed up.

Figures for sexual assaults and domestic violence very weighted towards female victims but overall victims of police reported crimes is actually pretty similar so your assertion is incorrect.

                                                                                                        Nobody was saying the current situation is ok from what I've read, I was merely pointing out your grossly exaggerated reaction to his post.

Of course most women are not being sexually abused. There is a high rate of it but the average bloke isn’t actually sexually abusing women . I base it on the facts that.



                                                                                                              1.A HUGE percentage of women will simply not tolerate it. I’d like to see someone try it with nearly every woman I know.

                                                                                                              2. The line of what is sexual abuse these days is just silly (as your rape the table example clearly displays, you are silly)

                                                                                                              3. Ask yourself if you would do it , have ever done it, what makes you so special,* NOTHING.

                                                                                                              4. The world (western anyway)* has never been a safer place for women* in terms of rights/respect/career etc.



                                                                                                              We need to be careful that us men don’t get painted into a corner where we can’t even fart in the same room as a women without being thought of as an abuser It’s tougher being a woman than a man in a sexual sense but let’s not devalue the suffering of those who suffered real sexual abuse by placing every little comment however sexual as abuse.



                                                                                                              Mostly I’m not interested in the male outrage though. Its always so fucking patronising to women .They are not weak and don't need you to protect them .

I've given you plenty of chances and defended you somewhat, but I'm afraid you're done here now.
