    This would be true.  However man up and don't reference a cat.  We all know what you meant and that word is fine to use.  People offended by that use of word need to grow thicker skin.  It is 2019 but come on.  
    Tell me more about how men and women can't be friends, if they are married to other people? With it being 2019 and all.

    Since the quote feature suck, I’ll just write it without quoting.

    pussy cat - scaredy cat.... it’s an animal. Not sure why you took it all sexist, must be feeling kinda guilty.
    Nope. That's not it. Dance around it instead of owning up to the sexism, changing and learning from your mistakes, if you wish. But if that is the case, why even engage in dialogue with you?

    Hope this ignorance doesn't affect the women surrounding you in your real life. And that it's just your attitude on here when not being able to take being confronted.

    Awwww this adorable.   Maybe one day when you get married or have a long term relationship you might feel different.

    The women in my life are doing just fine thanks. Don’t be like that. Bringing up my wife, daughter, mother, etc is low class and you are about to get me banned if you do it again.

    Just a thought - my friends and I call each other dicks pretty regularly. I find it interesting that the connotation with ‘pussy’ is someone whose tendency is to be afraid, and with ‘dick’ is someone whose tendency is to be rude and selfish. I’m making up an origin story right here - with so many dicks around, what other choice did a gender have to describe their sentiments when power dynamics were so unfairly skewed than to be labelled as afraid (and really do remain so today)?

    wtf is this shit?...Political puppet...Comedy Gold 😂
    I'll ask this like I ask every climate change denier: what is the political or economic upside to peddling a climate change hoax?
    Ok *** First*** of all I'm not a climate change denier...so a great way to --->JUDGE<--- but whatever!..........................maybe you should ask that question yourself...
    not judging, just making an observation based on comments. fine, then why do you call her a political puppet?
    You make a --->JUDGEMENT<--- then deny it but whatever!...observation?...are you serious?...anyway I asked you a question
    Why bother coming here and commenting if you don't want to have a conversation.
    So why are you here then?
    Fair question there ;)
     Thank you  ;)

    I fucking love that video that SC posted. 
    Well to be fair, people can be pissed at adults holding a child up as some hero. So really some may be in that boat, but not necessarily everyone.
    Well to be fair, it's pretty transparent that posters feel the need to actively come in here and attack (a 16 year old girl). And, with that - trying to dance around it with other reasons for the behaviour is easily seen through also. 
    Huh? Don’t be a pussy. Name names of you feel the need to attack someone. 


    You need to watch this on repeat and rid yourself of this sexism of yours. It's just icky. (It's 2019 after all):

    I feel sad that some men have to use these terms in order to feel strong and manly, and equally so when some women have to diminish their own gender in order to feel cool and “part of the gang” and use those words too. We don’t need more oppression in this world; rather, we need to start making people feel valued and appreciated. Again, it starts with something as easy as thinking twice about what we say.
