yes but do the male characters grossly overreact to percieved slights?
srs question, do they?
or is it basically one sided?

Since you are setting up the conditions and definitions in your question, there is no way to answer you. "Grossly overreact" and "perceived slights" are both subjective descriptions intended to slant any response toward the answer you already have in mind. You aren't really interested in a discussion so much as a reaction. So...conversation at end. Have a nice day! :)

by grossly overreact i am saying that such a reaction would be seen by a dispassionate outsider as, well, a gross overreaction. see the bit where dora goes batshit at marten for not telling her about the girl who asked him out (and that she knew that he turned her down, incidentally).
by percieved slight i mean that there is, possibly, a slight there, but that it's mostly in the mind of the one percieving it. again, for an excellent example, see the above.

Completely agree. The pattern is not that the girls don't admit to wrong-doing, but that their behavior appears to be genuinely hurtful when they do. Naturally Hannelore is going to apologize for going off the deep end and smacking Marten. Despite the fact that she's obviously not in her right mind - I mean, is she ever? - she really smacked him, really hurt him. I have yet to see one of the male characters essentially emotionally blackmail one of the guys into apologizing for his distorted perception of her innocent behavior. Sven was actually my hero, in that regard. He gave no shit and took no shit. And, at least in this case, was completely upfront about it. Same reason I like Pintsize. He is what he is and has neither the need nor the understanding of deception.
And he knows Faye wants him - especially with his pasted-on porn moustache and chest hair! What a hunk! (or, at least a chunk.) I mean, how many other babe magnets do you know that actually have their own EMF? :wink:

Nice way to shut down the discussion without actually addressing the question.
Permit me to observe that you seem to be doing a bit of what Dora was doing - manufacturing an issue where none exists. For reasonable people, it's completely fair in a discussion to go back and forth over definitions until a consensus is reached. What, for instance, would your definition of "one-sided" or "gross overreaction" be? I think that if you put forward your own, for the purposes of discussion, then a reasonable person could agree to that and then the question can actually be discussed. As it is, you are the one who is really not interested in a discussion so much as a reaction, or else your own position can't be argued because it's weak.
Have a nice day, yourself. :mrgreen:
