Sexism policy

You're not a victim here, you earned your reputation.

 

You probably want to chat to the admins too, Baz, if you're going to go down that path.

 

That's not a tactic I was employing, if you take the time to read what I wrote you'd know this.

 

it's interesting to note the old adages of "I may not agree with what you say but I defend to the death your right to say it" and "sticks and stones..." are all alive and well in this thread

 

I think one of the problems in discussions like these where there's a cry of "but what of people who may have a different opinion?" And the like is, such attitudes operate under a (false) assumption that every opinion is equally valid and, as such, every opinion deserves equal care and consideration. Well, the truth is they're not.

There ARE things in this world where "IMHOTFLMAO" won't cut it. An opinion founded in ignorance should never be given the same attention and regard as one brought out of education and careful thought.

Because if every point of view is equal then I'm going to bring back Phrenology!

 

Since great care was taken to stress that the right to offend is not extended to these boards, and we do not defend people's right to cling to offensive, outdated, stupid or traditional beliefs here... sure, ok, I guess?

 

Right to be wrong is not the same thing as right to offend, by the way.

 

I don't believe anyone was confusing the two. Unless I'm wrong. Which would be my right...

 

I'm trying to figure out where in this linked item or any other page in that thread is gender discrimination. You know, what sexism actually means?

 

Another point that irks me while we're on the subject is the hypothetical examples that were given of male objectification (telling dudes to "grow a pair" or "man up" and the like) don't really help much with that argument. Pretty much the ONLY ones I hear or see telling men to "man up" or "stop being such a GIRL" are, surprise surprise, other men! Simply put, no one does more work at reinforcing the stereotypes of men. In my experience, women tend to care far less about that malarkey.

 

You also struggled to:

1) see how your comment to zapdos ("darling") was sexist and patronising;
2) see how any of your posting history was sexist

Based on these points, that you see nothing wrong with your thread/posts is emblematic of a wider issue, VLM.

 

It's called objectification. There is absolutely no discussion in that thread. Its only purpose it look at "hot celebrities."

 

Agreed. The internet is a vast shopping centre brimming over with all manner of sexual exploitation and sexual objectification material. There is no need to allow it here.

 

From what I've seen of those celebrity threads, they're certainly creepy (and very tacky).

 

I believe I alluded to it as a "spank bank" before. If you're a client of said bank, then I'm sure you appreciate it's service in the way you'd appreciate the leaked celebrity nudes. What? If they didn't want them to be seen or hacked, they wouldn't have taken them. What? No, I don't see anything sexist or wrong with what I've said here.

 

No, I really can't find a more family-friendly way to infer these people only share and hoard images of physically attractive women for masturbatory purposes.

 

that term is much more offensive than others. well you will be modded. get used to it or get out.
