lol..coral,the thing tha came to my mind when reading your post, is this terminology we men use so casually.... ripping, tearing, knocking..... i do it to...
its easy to forget how sensitive some can be.. the words we use are forceful, strong, controlling...
no judgments, just observation....ive really known some ppl that are trigged by such terms.... for good cause too... even tho you and i know how it was intended.... and i do consider those ppl... ive felt like i could explain us a little better, and they would relax and lose some fear....
but, not that we are the only gender, but, some terminolgy i really rather forceful and we are conditioned so that we give it no thought whatever...
i remeber a guy i knew several years back... a youngster, about 18 yrs old...
ok, i was in jail at the time.... minor stuff... learned my lessons... but, here was this kid...
rahter large, about 6'4" .. 300 lbs... sweet as could be and ... well, not totally connected to himself if you know what i mean...
i asked him what he was in for? .. his answer? he knocked his mother over the head with a hammer...
i wonder what 'hammering' and 'knocking' means to her these days...
