In my opinion it's time this phrase ends on the board. I think it's problematic for numerous reasons.
First, it uses one's sexual proclivities as an insult. It's a low-blow. This is a porn/erotic website. We are supposed to be tolerant and welcoming of most sexual practices. We are supposed to be more open-minded. I think it demonstrates a great lack of character on our part to shed our integrity to make such lowly remarks.
Secondly, the phrase collared girl in the manner it has been used is insulting to women. It assumes that women cannot make their own decisions (no matter how terrible the decision is). It also insinuates that only submissive/collared women can be blinded by a man. That is categorically untrue. Some of the strongest and most dominant (in the bedroom) women, can be completely blind-sided by a man. Collared girl also assumes that only women have this ability to be wrapped up in a man - which is also untrue.
I have been rude to the women in question. I told them they had their head up someone else's ass. But, that's just regular posting that I could do to any woman or any man in general if I thought they were being stupid or being a cronie.
I'm not saying "play nice." I think we have the right to say whatever we want when we want to. I just think the use of the phrase collared girl is distasteful. It would make me very happy to see it stopped.
This is not a command, this is not me dictating to the board, this is just merely my opinion.
