Actually, it was neither. It was a matter of taking a stand.

So terribly sorry if that draws a handful of whiners out to complain about how their delicate sensibilities have been offended. Can't have that, can we?

1. Feminists are allowed to take stands in the feminist forum

Now go get in your place, honey and take a midol

3. Hey you!

:hi: :)

[Zenlitened]

4. LOL!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, so I'll do both simultaneously! ;)

2. I'd prefer to see offensive posts deleted instead of entire threads locked

I didn't see it as flamebait at all... a wake up call, yes.

[forgethell]

12. I on the other hand

wish they wouldn't delete anything except things that might cause legal trouble. Lock the threads if it gets out of hand, but if the evidence of your foolishness stays up there, perhaps you'll learn to think through your arguments. At least that's the way I look at it.

5. should I bother?

eh, might as well get the post credit, this is going down the memory hole...

don't know why I did that. and it doesn't matter, does it?

but it seems to be one can be a humanist, and believe all humans are equal, regardless of their chromosomal makeup. Feminist implies that women are better than men, misogynist implies men are better than women. can't we just agree we're all better at some things and worse than others and get over it?

[Zenlitened]

6. No, your own conditioning leads you to believe that...

... "Feminist implies that women are better than men."

Where'd you get that from? :shrug:

7. No, you must choose, feminism, or exclusion from the club.

Its a black and white world; accept the tenets of feminist orthodoxy or you will be banned from the clubhouse. All must believe in the orthodox tenets. Heresy will not be tolerated.

As another thread suggests, its strictly black and white, its feminism or collective ignorance. Acknowledge your guilt for being born into this culture, or else be ignorant.

9. Please try not to be so afraid all the time.

8. Hey, Northzax

Think of it as the Atkins diet wherein you swing your metabolism the OTHER way in order to acquire balance...if you swing it to the middle after centuries of imbalance, it is still IMbalanced

[patcox2]

10. Oh, okay, we now learn from fad quack diets.

Gotcha.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Do you want a discussion or are you simply going to antagonize

these threads with pithy one liners? I used it as an analogy.
