If something happens and it is no ones fault, she will out of habit still blame someone else, to remove any doubt in her mind that she was the one to be blamed. I think women have a hard time not blaming someone. They want answers so they can discuss it in order to get through it, where men tend to just accept that things happen and move on, at least on the outside. This all is explained by emotions just as easily as 'energies'.
This is slightly out of left field... the discussion was about an experience of being drained by a psychic vampire, not about what the psychic vampire feels.
What about the ubiquitous question, "am I fat?" No blame is being placed, yet the act of affirming is draining.
I would caution everyone here that blindly accepting this theory and openly supporting it is going to make you look like a fruit loop.
Hehe, I prefer the term "batshit insane".
BTW, I don't think anyone is blindly accepting the theory.
Whether her theory has weight or not, and I tend to be very skeptical of these things, the men's movement has strength in grounding itself in reality and facts. Swinging way over into outer space is not going to make the movement credible, which at this point is one of the major battles.
Do you think I'm campaigning to have this added to the men's rights movement platform...?

98. Increase the number of men teachers K-9.
99. Address the negative portrayals of men in the media.
100. Oh yeah, and stop consuming our precious male essence!!@W!!!
I know some people here, like Gonzo, doesn't give a rats ass what people think. Good for him. I know that the only way this movement is going to get off the ground is through persuading people.
This is true.
I think the most powerful way to pursuade people is to entertain them. Maybe part of the reason why feminists are so focused on their own dogma: they simply find thinking about men's feelings boring.
I've also found that presenting a viewpoint that spans two (on the surface) diseperate ideas tends to spark the dogmatic into opening their minds a little.
"Hmm... I don't believe/find boring X, but I do believe/find interesting Y and I never noticed that strong connection between them before... I should revaluate my ideas about X." I think this may be one of the reasons why when I posted my rebuttal to "I'm not feminist but..." on the @ forums, eventually I ended up with two green dots instead of a spat of red ones.
There are a number of feminists who believe in new agey type stuff like this. And, although I was being facetious when I said the psychic "valve" on women is only one way, there are women who have also experienced being the victim of a psychic vampire. Further I think a lot of feminist anger comes from the twisting of *female* initiated violence(psychic and emotional) to a *male* cause.
I have said this many times, on different boards, our behaviors are under scrutiny 24/7. The feminists will use anything they can to discredit us, and I am sure someone is having a grand laugh at this very thread right now.
No doubt.
In fact I intercepted a memo discussing just this very thing...

The men's rights bigots are talking about psychic vampirism!!!! Dosen't that just make them so silly, after all we know that women generate spirtual energy spontaneously by rubbing sacred crystals, burning insence and listening to tapes of the "Vagina Monologs".
P.S. Im free thursday if you want to rub our crystals together.
Believe what you will, but remember they have openly said they were watching us. Is this what you want the feminists labeling us with next? 'Psycic vampires' seems almost hand picked to ridicule us.
Is that a conspiracy theory in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
I'm not trying to present truth... just talk about something I find entertaining. After all once you find truth, you're stuck with it, and that sounds pretty boring.
BTW, LST, I'm going to answer your question I just need time. And I warn you I'm a complete neophyte so I will probably get it wrong. Also, I am still in the process of answering the question you sent via PM. So relax dude... you must be a Picses.
