techresmgt:The post about the woman that claims she is 'made to feel' one way or the other about the way she dresses needs to be enlightened that no one can 'make' you feel any way or the other without her explicit permission, unless she is silly putty. Your emotions belong to you. It is her responsibility to control her own emotions and take responsibility for herself and quit blaming others for the way she feels.
An advice column for men? That's about as manly as stopping the car to ask for directions!
I'm also not convinced that women can "take responsibility" or "control their emotions" - the Bibo Sez that ever since the betrayal in the Garden of Eden, women have been moral and emotional cripples.
Great current examples of this can be found in the following article from today's Dallas Morning news. Note that all three women mentioned in the story (Tracy Robinson and her attorneys Jill Davis and Kim Minick) refuse to take any responsibility at all for murdering a man:
Jury finds Arlington woman who cried 'rape' guilty of manslaughter

FORT WORTH –Tracy
Roberson's false claim of rape got her lover killed by her husband in
2006, and on Friday it brought her a conviction for manslaughter.
A Tarrant County jury deliberated more than 11 hours over two days
before deciding that the actions of Mrs. Roberson, 37, led to the
shooting death of Devin LaSalle. Mrs. Roberson sobbed as State District
Judge Louis Sturns read the verdict, a decision that surprised many
inside the courtroom.
The sentencing phase of the trial
begins Monday. Mrs. Roberson faces up to 20 years in prison. She could
also be granted probation.
Authorities say her husband,
Darrell Roberson, fired the shot that killed Mr. LaSalle, 32, outside
the Robersons' Arlington home. Mr. Roberson had come home unexpectedly
from a gambling trip to Dallas the night of Dec. 11, 2006, and found
his wife and Mr. LaSalle together in Mr. LaSalle's truck.
He started shooting as a horrified Mrs. Roberson began saying she was
raped. Arlington police charged Mr. Roberson with murder, and a
detective testified that authorities never took out a warrant for Mrs.
Roberson.
But a Tarrant County grand jury declined to
indict Mr. Roberson and indicted his wife instead, though police never
presented grand jurors with evidence against the church volunteer and
mother of three.
Her attorneys, Jill Davis and Kim
Minick, called the conviction a travesty. They said their client was
distraught and deeply regrets Mr. LaSalle's death.
"This is a woman who made a horrible, horrible mistake, and she will live with that," Ms. Davis said.
"We were expecting and hoping for a different verdict," Ms. Davis said,
noting that Mrs. Roberson was a stay-at-home mother with no criminal
record.
But Sean Colston, the assistant Tarrant County
district attorney who prosecuted the case, said the verdict was just.
"We always believed in our indictment," he said.
According to court testimony, Mrs. Roberson began an affair with Mr.
LaSalle, a former New Orleans resident, after they met at a school
their children attended.
On the night of the shooting,
Mrs. Roberson invited Mr. LaSalle to her South Arlington home while her
husband was in Dallas. Testimony showed that Mr. Roberson called his
home 19 times while he was away. He finally got his young daughter, who
told him his wife was outside.
Mr. Roberson headed for
home, and when he found his wife and Mr. LaSalle together – Mrs.
Roberson was clad in only a robe and underwear – he fired four rounds
from a 10 mm Smith & Wesson at the truck. One of the bullets hit
Mr. LaSalle in the head, killing him.
Mrs. Roberson's
false rape claim, prosecutors said, was more than a farce. It actually
led an angry and jealous Mr. Roberson to kill, they said.
During closing arguments Thursday, Mr. Colston said Mrs. Roberson put
Mr. LaSalle's life in peril to save herself.
"She will
throw anyone under the bus," Mr. Colston said. "Imagine all the pain
Tracy Roberson caused just because she wanted to do what Tracy Roberson
wanted to do. She'll throw her husband under the bus. She'll throw [her
daughter] under the bus. She'll throw Devin LaSalle under the bus.
"It's time to take responsibility," Mr. Colston continued. "It's time
to let her know, 'You did cause Devin LaSalle's death.' "
Bless you!
