when the abused keeps going back for more

Orange Turtle you are a tough cookie or a glutton for punishment to keep coming back to your abusers. So many times you have shared interesting thoughts only to be met with silence or idiocy. Why do you keep coming back? Is it because you think someone decent will come along and appreciate your perspective or do you just not mind (or even like) being talked to like these guys talk to you? By the way did you see Chuck's recent post talking about that episode of Star Trek where some of the leaders of the star ship got under a spell that made them look like children? The adults were "racist towards children" in the story, unable to see people who look a certain way as fully human, worthy of dignity or respect. Even the people under the spell, adultist towards themselves, losing respect for themselves because they think of themselves as children. You coming here again and again only to be met with disrespect is like it would be for a child to go into an adult realm and demand respect. Except you are more like the characters from the story. Your category of woman means manists people won't respect you, but in fact inside you are a full human being.
