Good on you Icha, for speaking out about what you passionately believe in.

I guess you might be right, too; they wanted to be polite and not arguing with me. But still it made me uncomfortable, and sometimes a fish out of the water. <BR/><BR/>My sociologist friends will tell me of patience and genteel persistence in facing these types of stakeholders. But sometimes patience is so hard to conduct.<BR/><BR/>I'm afraid of going too personal here, but the blog is for sharing too. And of course, I don't mean to say that I don't meet lots of sensible men out there. Alas, they were not the ones I met on that very occasion. Perhaps I should be less 'Lizzy Bennet' and more 'Elinor Dashwood' in facing such people.Ichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201156394951497511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129024732653900038.post-52826787304284718652008-06-15T12:37:00.000+08:002008-06-15T12:37:00.000+08:00Dear Icha,I’m sorry you were made to feel uncomfor...Dear Icha,<BR/>I’m sorry you were made to feel uncomfortable by the reaction of some men to your outspoken opinions. If I may try to put a positive spin on it, perhaps they were brought up to be ‘polite’ and felt uncomfortable arguing with a female on what they regarded as a controversial subject. Of course, their regarding environmentalism as controversial does not bode well for their being sensible men. I suppose this quote from Emma (Chapter 8) is not really applicable here; but since it is one of my (many) favorites from the magnificent Miss Austen, I will offer it anyway:<BR/>“Men of sense, whatever you may choose to say, do not want silly wives.”<BR/>Regards, Bilbobilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234398809012158944noreply@blogger.com
