> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > The article covers it fairly well: the quote implies that if boys don’t act like “gentlemen” it’s because girls haven’t acted like “ladies”. It places the entire onus for boys’ behavior on girls, when boys are responsible for their own behavior. This is a very, very, very old idea (Adam and Eve, for example) and people are tired of it, and feel that schools should not perpetuate it. I think what **Happy** meant was that the school has denied they support the message and is going to remove it, so why all the fuss here. BUT, my response to that is that how the fuck did the school admin NOT know about the message in the locker-room in the first place. And I would suggest it would still be there in all its glory had someone not taken a pic and plastered it on social media platforms. Cowardly fucken hypocrites. :dubious: ---

For myself, while the school district may be covering its ass frantically at the moment, the school put that statement up. It was authorized and paid for. Fuck them. They earned this and hopefully they are under a microscope for long enough to enact some positive change. ---

Could someone share the quote? “You’re not authorized to see this”. ETA: found it. “The more you act like a lady, the more he’ll act like a gentleman.” Because yeah, how men behave is totally the responsibility of women. The line would be bad even if it wasn’t said by a madame about johns. ---

> [@Locrian](#): > > I don’t have an ignore list either. I can scroll. Like when you just see the letters: Forthing… (scroll, scroll, scroll, almost over, scroll, scroll, next poster) 😃 Ok, that explains the “Ignore” part. It doesn’t explain urging us to “call for his banning”. He is a good mod. I think occasionally that side of him comes out because his social circle are in the Alt-Left. If you don’t know about them, _The Last Supper_ is a 1995 film which exposed what the end game of the Alt-Left was going to be. After that they mostly laid low for two decades. ---

Can’t quote Warm blood who said: “So I’m assuming the genius who came up with the idea to enshrine this quote in a school setting isn’t a “family values” type of person, right?” I would bet you are right. I bet it was decided to be put on the wall by one of those “likes to vociferously CLAIM to be” a family values type of person. ---

Fuck them. They earned this and hopefully they are under a microscope for long enough to enact some positive change. Yes, I agree the message is absolutely disgusting and inappropriate for anywhere, let alone a middle school. But chances are, it’s already been painted over. Now the story doesn’t seem to mention how long the quote’s been there. I, perhaps mistakenly, thought it was just put up this summer, maybe when someone came through and spruced the walls up a bit. Like I said, maybe I’m wrong about that and it’s been there for the past 10 years or more. In which case, I’ll say “Wow, that’s pretty fucked up of the school to do.” ETA: [Just found another story that clarifies that the quote’s been up for 5 years](https://abc13.com/society/hisd-to-take-down-quote-on-school-wall-described-as-sexist/3984845/). So: Wow, that’s pretty fucked up of the school to do. ---

Yeah, but love or hate Dio, he had a real presence on this board. He could be abrasive, witty, incredibly insightful and an attention-seeking whore ALL WITHIN THE ONE POST. **octopus** is like a de-barked chihuahua with no teeth, squeaking and dribbling all the fucking time but adding NOTHING of any substance whatsoever.

Yeah, there’s no way **octopus** is **Dio**. His triggers are completely different. That said, I’m pretty sure **Drunky** knows this, and is just getting under **octopus** ’s skin. He can’t admit that, though, or it loses its effectiveness. Thing is, while I hate it when people do that, the way octopus is such a hypocrite, it’s hard for me to care. If the way people respond in the Pit bothers you so much, stay away from it. You’ve already forced yourself into no longer being able to curse, since you had to get so ridiculous in your responses. It’s not going to go away just because you don’t like it. ---
