drop it

a friend of mine and i had a discussion a while ago. it was one of them discussions that really goes nowhere. yes... of men and women, differences, double standards, prejudices, stereotypes and stuff. well, it actually started out when i reacted to several materials posted on my friendster bulletin board. some ladies posted in succession materials about how men are like this and like that... compared us to dogs and frogs and stuff. i thought it was manhaters' day or something. so we had this discussion... and we eventually dropped it because she said no answer can really satisfy the debate (was that a debate?). there was practically no point in it, with our answers being neither right or wrong. and besides, we were not even sure if we were asking the appropriate questions, nor we were sure if we have set the appropriate parameters to discuss the topic.

but i tell you, i hate feminists (especially hardcore, narrow-minded ones) as much as i hate male chauvinists.

all in all, well... why can't we just get along? why the widening of the great divide between men and women? why can't we just find the middle ground?

i'll never know. maybe not in this lifetime.

i'm out.
