"who bit someone's ear off"
Mike Tyson?
Best memory: 2 nights before I left for basic me and 4 friends drank, then walked around town talking about the dumb shit we did in the past and what dumb shit we would do in the future.
Worst: I was scheduled to leave for basic the day of my graduation. I had spent the last 50 days working out, anticipating and worrying over it all. As I put on my graduation outfit my recruiter was in the parking lot ready to take me to the airport. Then the ceremony began and every person that was joining the Armed Service was to stand and be recognized. I was the only one at first, but then I saw a couple people stand for airforce, navy. Then one fucker stood up, I knew he wasn't joining the military he knew he wasn't. Yet, he accepted the applause that I had earned. Fuck him

by HelenaI see The Sugar Girl as being weak. For as long as I can remember I have despised women who allow men to stomp over them and who then squawk that their lowered status is somehow the fault of other women. This is precisely what The Sugar Girl does every time she wails about female competition).
Hmm... I don't remember sugar telling any stories about men stomping on her. I don't see that in her attitude around here, smth which I see very clearly in other female posters. Sugar gets fiery and destructive if she is even slightly stepped on the foot. I know from experience.
We share the same dislike for the sort of women you described. I've just never got those kind of vibes from sugar though.

(my parents taught me English, biology and history from a very young age when I wasn't at the gymnasium).
Interesting, I got this picture of your father being some violent, sadistic, pretty low functioning sociopath, who bit someone's ear off and did other shit that sent him to jail. Was he or your mother more intellectually inclined? You obviously are, so who was responsible for that?
You're right: TSG has not admitted to experiencing such abuse on this forum. I deduced that myself based on my experiences with women who act in the passive-aggressive manner that TSG displays here: these women should dislike men, if they're going to dislike anyone at all, not because they were necessarily abused by their fathers but because they have poor relationships with their fathers. Over time they tend to compensate by dating older or more "dangerous" men, which obviously usually leads to poor outcomes. Yet, despite the fact that men are constantly letting them down, as it were, they despise women. They can't bring themselves to hate men. They see women as the cause for their failures. And TSG constantly rants and raves and female posters (most of whom are probably men anyway) feeling some inexplicable need to compete with other women to get the attention of males - usually their own fathers.
Previously you noted that competition amongst women and amongst men is normal. I agree with you to an extent, though I have never felt the apparent need for such competition myself. However, TSG's explanation for this competition all leads back to her theory that women compete with each other to get the attention of their own fathers. That makes absolutely no sense to me.
As for TSG being fiery... well, she used to be. When I first came here she seemed fiery. But in recent months she's dropped off the radar. She's obsessed with that one theory and can't let it go. She begged for my attention for eight months and when she got it, she ran off shrieking that she didn't want to talk to me. Poor me.
My father was a violent, sadistic sociopath (his records also describe him as a psychopath. The two words are used interchangeably, however - it's an old file - so I'm not sure which diagnosis applies - both, one, or neither). If he wasn't drinking or abusing drugs he functioned very well, but I'm sure you've read your Cleckley - alcohol does something to a psychopath. It was when my father had been drinking or taking drugs that he ended up doing the retarded shit that ended up sending his ass to prison. He never bit anyone's ear off, however, to the best of my awareness (hey, it's possible - I just never heard about it). My mother was not intellectually inclined herself but she was from a generation where people believed that the study of science, classical music and Latin will "make" a child more intelligent that he or she would be otherwise. She was also very frightened by the resemblances that she saw between myself and my father - I do not believe that she thought I was an immediate danger; she just didn't want me destroying my life the way he did. So she thought that discipline would help me focus. Yes, she was mostly responsible for my early education. However, my father was well-versed in history, having studied it almost fanatically whilst in prison, and in politics, so he was responsible for my early education in those areas.
