get over yourself
I didn't "make this about gender", as you state, I merely pointed out that we have had numerous revenge stories posted by women that are viewed as fine by yourself and others (because people haven't posted the vitriol you have on this topic), but the minute it is a guy doing something similar to a cheating girl, there is huge stream of people telling him he's psychotic, abusive and a potential rapist. I just stated that I felt this was a huge double-standard, but obviously things can only be labeled as sexist by you and the others like you if it's a man doing it.

If someone wronged you, no doubt you would feel justified in feeling aggrieved and by maybe making a gesture of defiance, but if someone else does it and they happen to be male they happen to be some evil swine.

The pompous moralizing seen on this thread beggars belief when it is taking place on a website that enjoys regular jokes about madeline mcann, gary glitter and other potentially offensive subject matters with full support of its members.

Frankly, this has just highlighted the hypocrisy of some members who see no problem in females "assaulting" males in tales of amusing and petty revenge, whereas they go ape-shit if it's the other way around. If you are truly a morally-pure individual, you should have been posting on the stories where girls have humiliated and taken revenge on guys, as the correct stance would be to only be concerned about the human suffering, yet I don't see many tales of girls taking revenge on guys having 30-odd responses along with some truly vitriolic comments. Do you, or could it just be that your views are predjudiced to say that girls can do what they like and it's all a good laugh, but guys must always act with christ-like restraint?
