    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.

    I don't see how people who say ''How can such and such be a Pearl Jam fan?'' can be Pearl Jam fans.

    '' 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.

    It's funny. You sound just like what you're condemning.

    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.

    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.
