Top MILF official succumbs to stroke
Source: MindaNews
MILF vice chairman for military affairs Aleem Azis Mimbantas had a heart attack and died at around 10:25 p.m. in a hospital.
[...]
The MILF is still negotiating a peace agreement with the Philippine government. They recently reached a breakthrough on how the talks would move forward.

The timing on this is pretty bad, since the talks had been stalemated for quite some time.

seabeyond
(110,159 posts)that is what the thread is about? right? crude and vulgar and reducing us to a penis and a vagina.
goodie. so much fun

Seriously, seabeyond- you made me a lot less concerned about the whole issue.

Easily swayed then, it seems.
Unless of course, it's simply more important to trivialize another person at the expense of one's own integrity...

Why bother?
so much fun.
redqueen
(115,103 posts)So yes, it did start out with the subject being the idea that women are potential fucktoilets first and foremost (and politicians, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, ... people... second).
Seabeyond is going one step further and introducing the male member into this delightful exposition of the level of DU's tolerance for sexism.
(And it'd be nice if the one person attempting to pretend this discussion is about anything but frat boy humor would cease with the disingenuousness. Check the replies. This was not accidental, and to attempt to act as it was is frankly insulting.)
Occulus
(20,599 posts)You and seabeyond (thankfully now locked out of the discussion) are making it into something it isn't, and if you weren't trying to threadjack, and club us all over the head with your transparent and pathetic little crusade, you'd be pointing out what the acronym means in the context of the discussion and the OP.
To do that, though, you'd have to be honest about that oh-so-sacred cow of yours, which you and seabeyond both patently are not.
A pox upon both your houses, redqueen. Like i told the other misandrist, I can bear your false outrage with enormous fortitude.
redqueen
(115,103 posts)and the claim that the person who posted this did so in innocence and expected any other result is preposterous.
The sad thing is, it actually is at least related to a serious issue. But sadly, we can rely on seeing the kinds of responses which precipitated seabeyond's posts.
And we can rely on most people not giving a crap about the fact that this very behavior is part and parcel of the rape culture we live in.
Using this term about / around any woman, especially if you don't specifically know that they actually appreciate this unbearably original brand of 'humor', sends a message.
Occulus
(20,599 posts)Frankly, I just don't care any more WHAT you think or HOW you feel about it.

(20,582 posts)that's pretty disgusting. I feel bad for you that you can't see humour once in a while in some of these threads, because I've been around women OFTEN who've joked about men in exactly this way ....... some things really are harmless, and not as shockingly ugly as you want to make them.
redqueen
(115,103 posts)to describe women who, unlike you, do not appreciate such sexist BS, enables and encourages rape culture.
Don't feel sorry for me. I'm glad I see this behavior for what it is. I see plenty of humor in things that aren't oppressive.
polly7
(20,582 posts)Is that really how you see women being portrayed in a thread that's gone a little astray of the OP ......... in exactly the same way women have joked about men for all time? Like I said, you demean women 'like me' (who absolutely DO get the sexist BS when we see it) more than anything else that's been said in this thread.
redqueen
(115,103 posts)The first response was not about the actual story. It was dedicated to making sure women know their place. It enables and encourages rape culture.
You don't like Twisty's word for the way many women are treated, that's why I used it, it still has the power to shock in a culture in which women are mocked as if they were any random woman walking past a construction site, only instead of people calling it out as sexist BS, they all have a nice laugh.
You and whoever else are welcome to engage in whatever frat boy BS you like. I'm done debating it here.

(5,744 posts)See, you've internalized the patriarchy's oppression. You clearly have serious self-respect issues for not recognizing this. Your laughing along with these jokes makes you an enabler of rapists.
(Serial alerters: I was joking and polly knows I'm on her side.)

(12,530 posts)It's a funny play on words that comes up everytime this MILF group gets in the news. Sex needn't really come into this conversation, except that you seem to insist on it. Sometimes a funny play on words is just that. Happy seething to you.

(12,530 posts)These things happen, and yes, I'm disappointed in the result.
I've both agreed with you and disagreed with you in the past. I've never alerted on anything you've written until today, and I did that because you accused me of misogyny, and because you accused me of being a liar. You're wrong on both counts, and you should feel some shame for slinging vile accusations; I know you won't feel any of that shame, but you've really lowered yourself with the false accusation you made. I think you have demonstrated that you will make things up to support the anger you're feeling, and I have adjusted my opinion of you and your character accordingly.

(62,444 posts)I think the rest of the world could learn something about how, in a difficult situation, both sides do seem to have been dealing in relatively good faith, as far as these things tend to go.
It seems like the Philippines just dropped off the radar after the People Power revolution.
redqueen
(115,103 posts)that you've treated it as seriously as you appear to be doing now?
Just curious. I know it's been discussed before, and I know sometimes it's a serious discussion, and sometimes it's people who act like frat boys. Just wondering if perhaps you've actually discussed this topic in a serious manner before on DU.
