As I've said before, you've overreacted in the other direction due to regrets about your past behaviors and past mentality.  I speculated about this earlier, and this post simply confirms it.  Unfortunately, however, you've overgeneralized your own experiences into principles.  For every man who has to "tame" a woman, there's a woman who has to work on helping a man.  Your default reaction is that the woman is always in the wrong and the man always in the right.  And you thereby do damage by promoting the misogynist attitudes that exist among a significant number of Traditional Catholic men.

This is so darn typical among Traditionalists ... an overreaction to the OPPOSITE EXTREME when confronting some evil.  So to combat your prior tendencies towards feminism you swing towards misandry.  Can't you try to find a balance?  People overreact against the evils of the Novus Ordo by becoming almost dogmatic about the enforcement of liturgical proprieties ... considering the slightest rubrical misstep tantamount to apostasy.  People react against the Novus Ordo religious indifferentism by becoming dogmatic anti-BoDers (as per another thread where I'm duking it out).  You've made the mistake of responding to feminism with misandry.  It's also a form the "self-punishment" on your part.  Unfortunately, however, you are thereby simultaneously encouraging the punishment of other women as well because of your own misdeeds.

Well said, especially the part about it being typical among trads to overreact to the OPPOSITE EXTREME when confronting some evil. 

I have repeatedly expressed my belief that attempting to use corporal punishment in our contemporary situation is problematic. My alleged over-reaction exists only in the imagination of Ladislaus.

I'm not referring to this issue alone but to your overall attitude towards men and women.

And my alleged overall attitude to men and women exists only in the imagination of Ladislaus. It is a fabrication of speculation and inferences with almost no correspondence to reality. I find his behaviour highly objectionable.

Not at all.  If I cared enough to devote the time to it, I could go dig through all your previous postings to demonstrate your attitude.

I ask that people not believe anything that Ladislaus says about what I think or feel unless he supports it with a quote of me actually saying that. He has created a chimera and given it my name.

Ma'am, that's somewhat comparable to asking that we not use animals for pinatas; decent people don't need telling, and it won't do any good otherwise.

These attacks are getting your goat.

With all due ma'am, where's your man? In his shoes, I'd want to know about this, and step in.

It's past time, and his place.

This sort of thing is part of participating on forums. He will say that if I am not prepared to deal with it, then I should get off the forum. He is too busy with important things to waste time on my hobby and I would not ask it of him.

However if forum nonsense bothers me, I can always get a hug from him and that is enough to make me feel better. I am away from home now, working on settling my father's estate, so I am a bit hug-deprived. That may be why this is getting to me more than it ought.

Odd hobby ma'am, but it's your show. 

Besides, if you get too crazy he can always beat some sense back in...




j/k. 

Other people gots goats too.

I am like Charlie Brown and the football. Just like he kept thinking, "This time Lucy won't pull the football away," I keep thinking, "This time people will be logical, stay on topic, and be civil."

... and maybe not call you a Jєω for at least trying to do things the Catholic way, whilst giving you the Freud und Jung Sturm und Drang....

"Meshuggeneh"

but I have been accused of trying to convince men to beat their wives

That's a complete distortion.  What I actually WROTE was that your crusade in favor of your position on this matter and your overall negative attitude towards women will only serve to condone and encourage abusive behavior from Traditional Catholic men towards their wives.  Nobody said you were trying to convince them to beat their wives.  I clearly said that you'll never convince anyone who does not share your views to lay a hand on his wife.  But in the case of those men already inclined to denigrate and abuse their wives, you're helping to put their consciences at peace.  And this is absolutely true; there's no question about that.

"This time people will be logical, stay on topic, and be civil."

Well, it's rather arrogant to accuse people of not being "logical" whenever they disagree with you.  I laid out a very strong logical argument against wife-beating, and yet you accuse me of being illogical and not making an argument ... because I don't agree with your views.  Yet, interestingly, you never accused the Anonymous blowhard on that other thread of being illogical and uncivil; he didn't make a single substantial or logical point, but simply vented insults and contempt for people who didn't agree with his views.  He got a pass from you ... because he happened to agree with you.  But then someone who does make a logical argument is accused of being illogical and uncivil ... because he doesn't share your opinion.
