I agree with the original poster, just a few weeks ago SOAS and myself broke up, even though we weren't going out. She said a lot of hurtful things, and didn't even have the decency to do it over a better medium than IM.
Women really know how to hurt a guy just right, they strike fast, alleviating symptoms at the source. With their superior minds and our puny weapons, what chance do we have against such a foe? When facing the dragon's mouth, one must look toward his own heart, and then he will know.
AND THEN HE WILL KNOW.
I am reminded of the Auschwitz Jews, with men being the jews, and women being the Nazis. No wait, not the Nazis, the Jews who had a bit more power over the other jews thanks to bribery and stuff.
And just like with what happened to the Jews in Auschwitz, this thread needs to be beaten, gassed, and thrown in a kerosene filled burning ditch.
