the other day I happened to end up watching this movie,
anyway the part that was kinda profound,
was when a literary groupie ran up to jack nicholson,
and asked him how he was able to portray women
so perfect in his novels?
jack said I do two things,
throw away reason and accountability.

      As Good As it Gets Could Get Better

      luana,
      I am not sure if you are posing these questions to me or not,
      but hey I will respond since I posted the thread initially,
      of course you avoid the reason for my post,
      which is the fact or belief that women are known
      to avoid reason
      and hense accountability,
      a bit like children,
      and therefore are treated like children by men.
      dont let those cia spooks get you.

        I don't know any women who avoid reason nor accountability; not even just a little bit - comedy often relies on extremes for the sake of a joke having impact, so I'm gonna just let the mystery be.

    Interesting aD - I did not get the children association. Is this true for any men here? Do you feel women are like children and without much accountability and reason?

    I am interested because I am dealing with my own internal issues with feeling like the men in my life are children and they all want me to parent them in some way. I guess we may be dealing with a coin that is the same on both sides.

    Maybe we both want and need to be like children with each other? Given the freedom to be spontaneous and act without fear of accountability?

    Just thoughts here.....thinking out loud.

        Do you guys watch old movies from the forties and fifties? In them, the women are written off as childlike and hysterical. And they always fall down when they are being chased by a monster, and it's the man's job to save them. It really pisses me off.

        Ya know why my man said he left me? Because I didn't take care of him the way he wanted me too. Who is the child here?

          Some of my friends in relationships have children and they work outside the home. It never stops 24 hours a day. Where are their fathers? Either not present, or sitting in their cush chairs complaining that they didn't get their drink and slippers fast enough. And where is my dinner?? And no, you can't have a friend over to help you, why do you need help?

              women opening space for men and then receiving what ? criticism, condescension, anything he can come up with to keep her off balance?
              y' know.......if I only had me a large enough flame thrower, this planet would be rife with crispy balls melted to their goddamn recliners

                Hee hee. Sometimes I feel that way too, Nu. I just think the unloving light is breaking the backs of many men, and also that this is how their fathers did it or DIDN'T do it, and so on. I feel bad for Father and his misunderstandings about himself, love, and mother, but I'm also angry too, for many many reasons.

                I don't want him to devolve into self hatred and recrimination either, I don't wish reversals on anyone. But the way we have all been traumatized and affected by him acting out in a state of denial, I just want it to stop. I don't think I could survive another disappointment in love. My son's have NO IDEA how to live on this Earth, and their father has been nowhere to be found. I see how there are many understandings that they could only receive from their Father, like, who am I, where do I come from, questions that can only be answered by his presence in their lives. They feel hopeless, and have no idea how to father their own daughters.

                  As Good As it Gets For Victims

                  Sun, June 14, 2009 - 1:59 AM

                  "Do you guys watch old movies from the forties and fifties? In them, the women are written off as childlike and hysterical"

                  and this is the point, deflecting this truth by pointing the blame at men is not going to create accountability,
                  really we can spend our whole life pointing out the gap in men,
                  which as god notes is huge and full of beyond horrible crap,
                  we can bait this man gap and then get smacked and cry victim, or
                  or we can move to ourselves and look at our own gaps,
                  which are huge, and we can
                  and heal them,
                  the boys will take care of themselves or not,
                  if not then they will be gone, no flamethrowers needed,
                  as I look I see women acting like children when they need
                  to have an out,
                  when they dont want to take responsibility for their actions.
                  and say he made me do it,
                  the fucker is so horrible, it is his fault and I blame him.
