Attitudes


It is interesting to see the responses and anger generated by the topics and behavior contained in this blog. While the CS isn't surprised, and certainly understands the criticism, the outright hatred and contempt it generates from some is over the top. Rather than reading further or asking questions about the "why's" and the "how's, " the mere mention of such behavior brings out understandable, yet irrational critique.

One group of readers have indicated how strongly they disagree with such behavior, yet they are keen enough to ask questions, listen to the arguments and are generally interested in the details. They understand that although they may not agree with the conduct, there may be important information or details that they don't understand or know, or they are generally curious about people and why they do what they do.

The second group, however, though wonderful people they may be, certainly lack a bit of the rationale perspective. They are automatically disgusted by the behavior and are steeped in their dogma at the mere mention of it. In some cases, they are women who think "...it can never happen or doesn't happen to me." In reality, they have their heads burried in the sand and come up for air only when it does happen to them.

The CS realizes, appreciates and understands the criticism of his behavior. Moreover, this blog has been in existence for a short while and with limited readership. However, those that fall into the former, rather than latter group above, know that by asking questions, considering the arguments and generally being interested, they themselves learn something about certain men, about themselves and maybe even about people in general.

The CS is not trying to lecture here nor does he believe he is providing profound writing on the "topic of the ages." As repeatedly stated, it is just a glimpse into one particular life. However, current and relevant issues about relationships and sex are addressed here. At the least, those that condemn the behavior but that at the same time maintain a reasonable and rationale approach in their discussions of it, provide themselves with some insight into identifying such behavior in their own relationships. This is in stark contrast to those that have a purely emotional reaction to the content and believe that it can never happen to them. Until, of course, it does.
