The post was rude (though might have been meant as just a tease), but frankly, the starter of the thread was annoying as hell with her moaning (though just ignoring the thread would have been simpler)...I wanted to puke by the end of the post.
But only an American would take that comment as sexist...she lives in the UK?? my god with all teh sexual banter here, she must be having fits everyday!
This thread is sexist,why do u assume it's only males who are sexist?
perhaps the better term for the original complaint is misogynist people/posts. regardless, maybe i missed the part where the original post said only males could be sexist?

Actually there is a scene in that movie where one guy does grab the other guys ass so I could fit you in there too if you are feeling stressed.
exactly.
hey, i thought it hysterical...and believe me, i get accused of being 'too PC' often. hell, when 'off-balance'...we can all use more sex, nothing sexist about that. gettin' laid is quite a cure-all.
but what does that MEAN, exactly? just wondering. i mean, are you assuming that because the person you're talking to can't punch you in the face if you say something rude, then it's okay to be rude? i've always wondered what people mean when they say that "it's the internet!" like "whoo-hoo, let's just act like obnoxious assholes, it's cyberspace after all!" :rolleyes:
i think you should treat each other the same way here that you would in person. call me kooky.
absolute agreement. i think far too many take license with the fact that we are not face to face. however, also have to consider....we are completely missing TONE here. in person, i am sure chipboy's post would've come off exactly as it was intended, as humor. given the contents of the thread, it did read as humor, and if one read all the posts...more than likely that would be evident. however, far too often we lose so much through written words alone....so difficult to judge at times.
people say things on the internet that they would not say face to face. get used to it.
And I read the other thread. Didn't sound sexist to me. Sounded like you need to get sexed up good to make you feel better.

carolina, not england. but i agree. i didnt see anything sexist in that post. it was clearly an attempt to cheer her up or make her laugh.
I'm sorry, but that just made me laugh. It's like you're in junior high or something: you're just jealous!
Just because you're a "girl" doesn't mean you can't be a hater.
what the fuck is junior high.

WEll you weren't paying attention then
'' really don't get how people who clearly hate women, and have such messed up views about them, can be pearl jam fans.''
And
''I think it's stuff that a lot of people pass off as being jokes or just immaturity or boys will be boys, whathaveyou. But it still not only hurts me but boggles my mind.''
Very sexist towards males.

yea, i have to say...that's a bit far over the line. first of all...i got no 'woman-hating' at ALL from that particular post, i read it completely as HUMOR...besides the fact...yea, i believe chipboy is long-married?...and sounds rather happily so? i've read many of his posts, and many are filled with much humor....i think it a bit over the top to label someone as a 'woman-hater'...from one post. besides the fact, i find it VERY amusing...the whole....'i don't know how _____________ can be pearl jam fans." like being a pj fan would ever make someone somehow 'better'...different, etc. odd.
I'm not sure it was sexist. He would have probably told a guy that he needed to get laid too. There IS some sexism around online, no doubt, and I've experienced it AT PJ shows and seen it on the boards on occasion. However, in all fairness, I think your original post in the other thread is something more to be shared at a 'women only' kind of life support board - and I don't mean this disrespectfully. I might feel the way you do at times, but you have to remember that this board has a majority male members, and they obviously are going to have a male perspective. Not necessarily a bad thing, but you're going to get different comments from guys on a post like your original one than women would say.

It's funny. You sound just like what you're condemning.
Lord. I didn't say that. It's just the whole 'by the way, i'm a girl' sentiment.
gotcha. i thought it was just an attempt to short-circuit the dismissive "typical male resopnse" comment that we all knew somebody around here would have thrown out eventually.

i was speaking to the general 'you' in the sense that just because someone's a woman doesn't mean that she can't be hateful towards women. saying, 'oh, i'm a girl' doesn't automatically mean you can't be accused of something. i wasn't saying anyone specifcally here was sexist. frankly i don't have the time to pay enough attention.
i only have enough time to take citizen quizzes.

ok, i blew it there... i dont know what a playa-hata is either. so what's a hater in the context you used it?

I feel awkward answering this question. It's like if someone asks, "What is 'bling'?"
Anyway, all I meant was that just because you're female doesn't automatically exclude you from hating women.

what about your reply made you think she hated women?
Lord. I didn't say that. It's just the whole 'by the way, i'm a girl' sentiment.
