Can I get an "Amen"!?

buddha:
Yeah, Brother, you can get a most definite A-F**KING-MEN! from me! O0

Having been involved, for a number of years in the "Men's Movement" I have not only experienced this first hand but, being that this is an infectious condition, I have done it myself. I occasionally lapse into this vocal pattern of seemingly questioning what I have just said. The therapists on the weekend retreats I participated in did this all the time, not only during exercises but also, in normal conversation. And it is a hard habit to break.
My own skewed opinion is that therapists in our culture have been trained to give more feministic responses than what reality would call for so as not to seem threatening or paternalistically overbearing. This vocal "upturn" at the end of a statement seems to allow for open discussion on any subject, even where right and wrong are clear.
Kudos to you, Vash, for bringing this to light.

JDog:
The dreaded vocal upturn is a pet hate of mine. I literally cringe when I hear it.

Mikekoz13:
AMEN!   I can't stand when people make statements and don't have the balls to be direct and make their point with conviction.

Say what you mean to say, believe what you say, and don't be afraid to say it!!!

If you can't do these things you probably don't know enough about what you're saying... so don't say it!!!!


This is another by-product of political correctness...............

tomgallagher:
Amen brudder.....ya know.?
