I also don't see what the big deal about this post is. I agree that if a woman had posted it, no one would have thought twice about it.
I want to state for the record that I have no issue with the men on this forum. I also don't take issue with the personal nature of Celery's question. I wouldn't have repeatedly responded to it if I did. Granted, I may have disagreed with him, but that's okay I presume.
I will admit that the reference to Google caught my attention and I was puzzled when my own search didn't turn up much of anything. We do get the ocassional troll here, however, so I thought it was possible that something funny was going on.
Beyond that, I'm sorry that the thread devolved as it did. Every now and again, I get the impression that we--myself included--are taking things on TE a wee bit too seriously. Without saying anybody was wrong here, it might be in our collective best interest--and I again include myself in this--to just lighten up a bit. I'm sorry if that suggestion offends anyone. It's sincerely meant to be constructive.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
