Comments on: The C Word http://somymom.com/2008/12/08/the-c-word/ The daily descent into becoming my mom. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:08:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: admin http://somymom.com/2008/12/08/the-c-word/#comment-188 admin Wed, 10 Dec 2008 14:39:53 +0000 http://somymom.com/?p=184#comment-188 I'm just reading the prose: In "She's crazy," you do not actually define "crazy" for a woman. You site a few overarching, vague examples of "crazy" women bloggers, with the apparent sense that readers know "those women" you're referencing--and not just in the blogosphere. Because isn't your contention that men should not date crazy women in the real world? Contrarily, in "He's crazy," you feel the need to more clearly define the crazy man. It seems a more elusive concept that needs elucidation, at least in your mind. The implied irrationality of many women is further referenced in "He's Crazy": "When given the advice, 'She’s crazy, get rid of her,' men who heed the advice generally do like Jeff Foxworthy said, they break up and go to the gym to work on their abs. "The thing with women involved with any of these three [crazy man types], or with the run-of-the-mill self-destructive crazy, is that they will rationalize and try to save the guy." So men have the autonomy and sensibility to recognize when they're dating a kook, but not women. But I can tell you, once I realized the guy I was seeing a few years ago really, really loved the mall more than me, I was through for good. I’m just reading the prose:

If you truly think that I believe that there are more crazy women than men out there outside the blogosphere, we should sit down (person-to-person, not only on line) some time over coffee and you'll find out that's not the case. I stand by my advice: If you're involved with a crazy, male or female, drop them. As to what I believe as a "Conservative" you have not a clue. Thanks for the post!
