"Are you on your period or something?" and other sexist remarks

[Some Schmo]

Don't start with me, Jersey Girl. I won't be lectured by you.

Being an ally is nothing more than trying one's best to be a decent human being. It's its own reward.

No, it's not, it is akin to being driven into a frenzy because you smell blood in the water. Nastiness is not its own reward, it is the result of gross misunderstanding borne of having some god awful chips on one's shoulder.

Let's take my case on this thread. I suggested that a list or even a general guide that might help alleviate any hurtful word usage in the future. Instead, I got pounced upon and insulted for a helpful suggestion. It was like I suddenly became the enemy. I'm used to seeing those pouncers exude nastiness on others, but I was not expecting it on myself.

I've enjoyed posting on this Spirit Paradise forum in the past, but I will try to avoid it in the future since I foresee a continuation to this meanness.

If I have been nasty to you, I apologize. I didn’t intend to be.

My main takeaway from this thread is that if this is an example of forwarding the feminist cause, feminism is screwed.

Amen. Having a trans daughter has made that crystal clear to me.

She's lucky to have you as a dad. Best wishes to her, and to you.

Thanks.

Lecture you? You're joking.

Lecture you? You're joking.

Do I seem like I'm joking?

GMAFB. You clearly didn't read the OP, and if you did, and still posted that stupid crap you posted then it's worse. Lemmie simply pointed out some overtly sexist language, provided context, and after a bit of back and forth she and Analytics came to an understanding and resolution. YOU, otoh, waltzed into the empty movie theater, sat your ass right down next to them, knocked her elbow off the arm rest, and when she was like, "WTF?" you decided to make a stupid reference to the Vietnam war because HURR DURR this feminist harbor SURE IS LOADED WITH LANDMINES. HHHHUUUUUUURR. And when you were rightly taken to task you've now made yourself the goddamn victim. Instead of damned taking a moment and having some goddamn self-reflection, you instead make it about yourself just like Robert Kirby would, and then tried getting people on your side with your self pity posting.

Your attempt to hide your trolling in folksy jokesy humor, often derailing threads with nonsense that even most ardent Dennis Miller fan couldn't make sense of, and when one or two people finally snap back at you then it's, "oH mY gOD, tHiS pLAcE iS sO tOxiC!!!"

Jesus.

No. You seem like you want to avoid thinking.

No. You seem like you want to avoid thinking.

Yeah, Screw you too. I don't need your hypocrisy today.
