Sentimentality

[Bernard]

Appreciate your input but none of it is practical in severe bushfire seasons. Fires here are through eucalyptus predominant country . These trees are high oil content and you get crown fires, which means the fire is through the top of the trees, independant of the ground fire. These crown fires are really hot and fast. All you can do is get away early to safe zones. Fires nearly four years ago in Victoria taught everyone to get out early when the temp and winds are increasing and fires have already started. Unfortunately it is a given that where the conditions are right these types of fires will happen due to the proliferation of firebugs and human error, where once upon a time the cause was mostly only lightening strikes.

Anyway, back to normal programming...

but do you know how far down deep this lie runs through people, families, and society?

One example H L Mencken cites describes perfectly in defense of women, is sentimentality in men when they fall in love. " He carries a handicap from the start. His sentimental and unintelligent belief in theories that she knows quite well are not true, gives her a weapon against him which she drives home with instinctive and compelling art. The moment she discerns this sentimentality bubbling within him--that is, The moment his oafish smirks and eye rollings signify that he has achieved the intellectual disaster that is called falling in love--he is hers to do with as she will. Save for acts of God, he is forthwith as good as married."

It is called the sentimental intoxication of man.

Aw, poor allemotion, needs a man to love her? You're so weak, and dependent on men.

You prove my point. You are totally unaware and such an easy prey, if I was so inclined. Which I am not.

We have had so much rain this winter, which makes the conditions for bush fires more likely. None last year. From your photos Bernard you posted, it seems you live in a situation similar to myself. I am near Macedon, where people are reluctant to cull anything. Myself included and being high up the north winds roar across the hills. It is a brave thing you have done to be a volunteer, at it is fraught with danger. Now it is approaching summer our local council will have meeting nights to educate the people of the "how to" cut down potential fire hazards, a high percentage of people who live here come from the city and we have no idea of what a bush fire entails. It is a monster, that roars and devours without discrimination.

How could you tell that I am so infatuated and in love with you?

Male emotional shields are only effective against other males...

I once had to pit my romantic nature against a very a-romantic set of values. It burnt my mate-seeking romantic self to the ground, but green sprigs are re-shooting. I watch them re-grow bemusedly. I prefer the romancing of knowledge to any other sort of romance now.

Patriarchal oppression is parading for what is really male sentimentality?

Is this a response to sexual patriarchy or a reaction?

Naomi Wolf. The woman is neurotic. Don't know what she is trying to prove. Maybe that she is a sexy woman. She puts in a great deal of effort trying to prove it. I am not convinced and today even more so after hearing what she had to say. I mean who thinks like that! It seems that her neuroses have become more prevalent since having children.

Or, she is shrewd enough to create these myths to make money. It has to be this one.

[Bernard]

Is it a counter-intuitive form of mail baiting perhaps - something she would scarcely admit to as an undealt with subconscious drive?

You're just upset that she's smarter and sexier than you are. But, you still come in first, in my heart, allemotion noreason.
I'm not lying.
But, I'm not telling the truth either

The woman is so out of touch with who she is, one would scarely take anything she said seriously. Imagine being her husband. LOL. Timing her orgasms. "Are you there yet?". She is one crazy lady. LOL

There story doesn't have to be real

She has been around for a while. At one stage there was some discrediting publicity about her and her books. I cant remember because I have never been interested in the trash she writes.

If you say so, then it must be true.
