I hear you, but I don't completely agree. I make my statement against it by not using the term as an insult against women myself. I also make it by mocking Vetteman and others for reducing women to their tits and smiles. Beyond that, since I don't personally find the comparison to racism accurate, I can't see myself lighting torches for it. We call a lot of people "pedo" here too--which I think of as a worse insult at heart--and we don't light any torches against those throwing that word around either. We just choose not to use it ourselves, or occasionally to defend those it's used against...as I did here.It's not about hearing it, Sonny, it's about who accepts it. Whether my feelings are hurt or not isn't the issue. My feelings are hurt by a lot of things.
It's about a community who will race after a certain poster bearing lit torches for confessing her own racism but those lit torches aren't turned in any other direction when you get men calling women fat cunts. Forget that it's me, we all get I can stand up for myself. It's you guys, you who stand there and not say a word. That's what the problem is.
Fair?
