Yes, Colleen, it is indeed true!

The Jeddah Racist hasn't been heard from since he disappeared on 23rd October. We figure that he had racial- and gender-reassignment surgery and is now living as a middle-aged Arab mother of 12 in Riyadh.

Ain't life wunnerful??

Bwahahahahahahaahaha!

I wish I would have known because I would have financially supported the medical procedure(s).

It is soooo nice to be back where women are strong! I've been in the ME for too long and I miss my sisters! You are the best, girls: the strength of our country.

When I was in the ME I noticed that western women had never had it so good.AS a man ,I'm all for strong independent women but must confess that only find attractive the ones who keep their feminity as well.I think there is a fringe in the feminist world that confuses feminism with a kind of man hating and many of the guys on this thread have clearly come across such people.

You mean that we're allowed to earn our own money, but you'll only fancy us if we simper at you at the same time? Or are you trying to say in a diplomatic way that we should remember to shave off unwanted body hair?

If I could find a woman that would allow me not to shave every day and stop looking like some kind of "whatever" then that would make me, and many men happy. I really think that women who complain about having to shave to keep social graces really annoying. Try getting up every morning to shave your face all over the bottom half of it, and then again if you need to go out in the evening, and then tell men about the need to shave extra hair !!!!!

I didn't say any such thing,I just stated my own personal preference.Why the hell would I want someone to simper to me?And, as for the body hair thing I like a beaver with a winter coat and not a Brazilian if you know what I mean?Hey, and is it wrong if a man likes a girl to dress elegantly and appreciate her own unique femininity?The Dr Marten wearing,scruffy roll-up smoking , right on ladettes you often find in the EFL world are just not my type.Is that ok Miss Greer? But I'm sure their mothers love them.

A loud, pushy woman comes in handy when your boat runs aground in fog. As long as it doesn't effect their god-given right to cook and clean then it's fine with me Smile

"Men need women to HUMANIZE them."China's Lin YUTang (late 1930s)


Some words from SHE by Robert A. Johnson (Jungian Perspective):
(Interpretation of Amor/Psyche Mytrh)

"Very few women understand how great is the hunger in a man to be near femininity. This should not be a burden for women. She doesn't have to live her whole life feminizing. For as a man discovers and gets into a good relationship to his own inner feminity, he will not rely so heavily on the outer woman to live this out for him. But if a woman wishes to give a most precious woman to a man, if she would truly feed this great masculine hunger (a hunger that he will seldom show but that is always there) she will be very, very feminine when her man is in a mood, so he can get his bearings and be a man again."

"The touch of light, or acknowledgement, is a fiery thing. It often stings a man into awareness, which is partly why he fears the feminine so much. A woman, or his anima, often leads a man into new consciousness. It is almost always the woman who says, 'Let's sit down and talk.' Aman does not often say this. The woman is the carrier of evolution for him inmone way or another."

"One might say that for a woman to evolve, she must break the unconscious domination of her subordinate, largely unconscious, masculine component, which dictates, often negatively, her relationship to the outer world."

"It is my feeling that Western civilization took a wrong turn some time ago, and the place of feminity is in jeopary now. That is why this myth is so important. It talks about a right way and a wrong way for a woman to function. It is saying that a woman can get all she really needs of masculinity in a feminine way."
