Skandarnites VS. PaperB'nites III

LOL, thank you.

Yeah - I might have just made up the word delicateness but delicacy would make you sound like something nice to eat. :rolleyes:

I think most smart girls who don't want to date or fool around casually are invisible to boys at this age, and the boys who do see them tend to be too nice or too shy to flirt with them.

I'm afraid young guys like Kevin are the exception, not the rule. Most of the ones I went to school with and go to school with now are about proving themselves to be manly and they go about it all wrong.

^so true.

If you have to "prove" to anyone you are a man, even yourself, then you have not yet attained true manhood. Or so I think. ^_^

In cases like Caspian and Peter in the movie...

once they lose the "prove myself" problem, they can actually work together, unite, and both become truly kinglier, more noble, more manly. (in the good sense)

even though at the end, Caspian still felt inadequate, it was from humility. He was more a man then Miraz ever was. (and the same goes for Peter and Edmund.)

Caspian, though feeling unready to be king, no longer felt the great urge to 'prove himself' to Peter or Susan or anybody. In so doing, as seen with the Battle at the How and refusing to kill Miraz, he had truly matured.


(I hope I make sense.)

Indeed.

I believe the same can be said of girls and women, too. On what it means to be truly feminine, true womanhood.

It certainly does not mean weak and submissive. But neither is it harsh, cruel, vulgar, or promiscuous.

It is a struggle of our troubled time.
 
oh, i see! do you mean, you disagree with the radical feminism of the 60s-70s, then? am i getting you right?

if so, you would most likely be interested in what is called "New Feminism," I believe.

And John Paul II's encyclical entitled "Mulieris Dignitatem." Or something. O_O "The Dignity of Women."

And a book called "The Privilege of Being a Woman," by Alice von Hildebrand

(not a man-bashing book. :eek: there is, of course, great mystery and grace in being a man, as well.)

I am so sorry. I can imagine. Or at least, I think I can. It must have been downright awful. Where do you go to school?
Click to expand...

University of Nevada Las Vegas. Mostly I was just annoyed. Talk like that gets girls in trouble, and is just what guys who will never be men want to hear.
