Al, they will accuse you of promoting homosexuality, instead of just reporting a fact, like bman did. Sad when people are put down for stating the truth. But, then it easily identifies the "Elitists" among us. Sorry you feel “put down”, Al. We did not mean to trigger you. We forgot how you depend on this being your safe space.

Aaaaah. The “I was only joking don’t you have a sense of humor” defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your little group of "good ol' boys" meet at Donas Donas as a regular club, or are you all just living in an echo chamber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 12 hours ago, ComputerGuy said: Misogyny (/mɪˈsɒdʒɪni/) is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including social exclusion, sex discrimination, hostility, androcentrism, patriarchy, male privilege, belittling of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification It is pretty obvious that the use of the word "pretty" and "obliging" together represents sexism, which is sexual objectification, as it implies "something more", and it also smacks resoundingly of "male privilege". Androcentrism (ancient Greek, ἀνήρ, "man, male") is the practice, conscious or otherwise, of placing a masculine point of view at the center of one's world view, culture, and history, thereby culturally marginalizing femininity. I don't think barcelonaman was being intentionally unpleasant, but his comment needed to be challenged. And attacking those challenges is just typical. Thank you for this, Computer guy. Unfortunately, the locker room-talk types refuse to get it- they think they are presenting "facts" or being humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
