I get the sense that the comment was implying that something was less about the man's perspective and that the mother's would be of more value.

- chongli 10y agoIf that is the case, the post is little more than flamebait and entirely deserving of the down arrow. I'd also suggest the weak, half-apology is wholly disingenuous.
- cbsmith 10y agoIt was not flamebait, weak or disingenuous. I honestly thought pointing out the context would allow most people to contemplate differences they'd expect. Rather than assert some specifics, I thought simply the exercise of contemplating a mother's perspective would provide some insight.
- cbsmith 10y agoWell I think a mother wouldn't quite see dating in such one sided predator/prey terms.
- steego 10y agoProbably not. Then again, she probably doesn't have the first-person perspective of being a man belonging to a pack that engages women on a predator/prey terms. I know this letter is all too cliche for you because it reinforces banal gender stereotypes about women being helpless prey, etc. etc. etc. I get it. However, I can't help but get the impression that you live in a bubble because your high minded attitude suggests you are minimizing the number and impact of the predators among us. Am I wrong?
