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

[Some Schmo]

So, SS, what “source” makes a sexist comment acceptable?

Do you really believe at this point you're entitled to honest conversation?

If so... lol.

Tell you what: you tell me what you are trying to achieve with this thread, and I'll answer your question (in a different way, since I believe I've already answered it).

Wow. Do you honestly think “honest conversation” would excuse such a sexist remark?

Clearly, nothing could excuse it in your mind. Context be damned!

Are you always this easily surprised?

Ok. What “context” would make “Are you on your period or something?" an acceptable thing to say to a woman in the conversation we are discussing?

Are you always this easily surprised?

Lol. Was that another of those condescensions you were complaining about?

What are you trying to accomplish, Lem?

What are you trying to accomplish, Lem?

What are YOU trying to accomplish? It was a pretty complete thread before you got on here with your “I have no idea what a woman is like” divide, and you’ve done nothing but trash me, in a dozen or so posts, for having a sincere issue.

So I ask again, what are YOU trying to accomplish? and whatever it is, can you please take it elsewhere?

Go “F” yourself.

You post this long ass post condemning a fellow poster in a public forum with some intention. Are you trying to get people to dislike Analytics? You don't think he knew what he was saying when he said it? You want us to believe he's a sexist? You don't think every adult who read the conversation can determine for themselves whether or not the comment was sexist, or whether Analytics was being a sexist? Why did you start this thread? What the “F”? I'm pretty sure most people around here are familiar with and understand that the comment is sexist. This isn't a goddamn newsflash.

Don't complain when people respond to your damned posts. If you don't want a response, don't say anything.

Hey, you just said the phrase, “Are you on your period or something?" I must now assume you're a sexist, because what possible context would make it not so?

And even that I doubt will help your understanding.

And that's the response a woman gets when she points out sexist comments. She gets told everyone already knows it's sexist, and so what? How dare she point out that someone is sexist? it's not a 'newsflash' when someone is sexist, so how dare she think it deserves any sort of comment? How dare she try to disparage the character of the person who made a sexist comment? She should go “F” herself.

She should go “F” herself, for daring to say out loud that a sexist comment is inappropriate.

What a message to leave on our board.

I appreciate the guys on our board who are NOT like this. Thank you.
