I am not attacking you. I am mirroring you. When I post, you react with a dismissive "nonsense". This is, for one, disrespectful, and, for another, stupid (meaning that saying "nonsense" shows that you cannot argue your position, and that is stupid). This was the first time I mirrored it to you, and I thought that you would be smart enough to see that I was mirroring you in an effort to show you how it feels to be on the receiving end of stupidity and dismissiveness. Yet, you did not notice that I was mirroring, and instead started playing a victim, saying that I attacked you. You are behaving like a sissy, and it is really, REALLY FUNNY to watch a guy who, on the one hand, claims high testosterone levels, and on the other hand, cannot handle a woman even in a writing environment. I am just wondering - do you not see that you are playing a comedian here?

The exact point I was making is that a Mensch does not have to act aggressive or look particularly masculine (the man in London does have wonderfully virile voice, but on his Linkedin picture looks like an average guy with early baldness, which is a shame since back in middle school he had wonderfully thick wavy medium brown hair). To be a Mensch you need to have a certain set of beliefs and principles you live by, and you can be soft spoken but still be a Mensch. Or you can have a lot of visible attributes of virility and be a sissy. If a man is not magnanimous, wise, and firm in his principles, there is no point in dealing with him at less than an arm's reach.

By the way I totally agree with you that the idea that looking at a woman with appreciation somehow objectifies the said woman is an epitome of stupidity. So as you see, I have painstakingly reviewed your posts and taken out of them something with which I agree, because I am a polite and considerate poster who tries to find common ground when she can, and you are not. And no, I did not redact your post to alter its meaning - I cut it short to make the quotation short. The post was nonsensical as a whole. If you do not like being told that your post is nonsense as a whole, the first step for you is to find each place when you called my posts, or my references to somebody else's thoughts, nonsense (I do not remember them all, but it will be a good homework for you to find them), and apologize in each individual case. How a man handles apologizing (with grace and elegance, hopefully...) also speaks volumes of his virility.

Just to make sure - if you now run to get moderators to edit my posts for calling what you do stupid, you will confirm that you are simply a sissy who thinks that acting macho is cool. I come of the culture where being a teacher's pet was considered the horriblest thing of all in public schools, and running to moderators is like being a teacher's pet. So I have given you a warning - if I hear from moderators that you have complained, it will confirm what I suspect, an that is that you do not have true, innate virility at a core level. So let us see how you will handle this. I am curious. Again, I agree with you that the whole concept of objectification is entiretly stupid.
