"...but they should not have to; it is for men to stand up for them."
Err ... *cough* excuse me?
Boys shouldn't have to defend girls just because girls have different genitalia. As much as I'm a big fan of having men open doors for me, it is not men's duty to look after me solely because I'm a girl. I know plenty of boys who need standing up for far more than most girls. I also know plenty of girls who would come out on top (so to speak) in a physical fight. My brother and his girlfriend are perfect examples of this. My brother is skinny and effeminate and his girlfriend held the NZ record for weightlifting in her weight/age category.
I know that you probably don't give a damn about my brother and his girlfriend or about my opinion on this matter. I also realise that this is completely off topic. However, it is as important to me as multiplicity is to you.
I really have no opinion on the validity of MPD, DID or multiplicity, as I don't enough about any of it. I'm reading these comments because I know both Dan and Chris.
Another point: I acknowledge that I am a young and (relatively) inexperienced girl. However, I am not defined by age or gender.
Forgive me if this post is somewhat rambling (and for any spelling / grammatical errors) but its 5.45am and my brain has ceased for the night.
