catsix are you serious?

[Shodan]

@Rilchiam

She was making a personal attack on Kelly FOR her transsexualism.

Actually, for KellyM’s hypocrisy, manifested in her dual attitude towards transsexual surgery/conversion vs. losing weight.

@Rilchiam

And don’t give me this PC police jazz. Questioning whether someone is normal and sane for having a sex change operation is not un-PC. It is unforgivably rude.

What’s that you say? Rudeness? And in the Pit, of all places!

:rolleyes:

So catsix was not only being outrageously rude (at a minimum) she was bringing stuff from outside onto the boards.

How is that any different than Guinistasia mentioning the Ms boards earlier in this thread? What bearing does another message board have on this one?

[catsix]

Thanks. Shodan.

I’m glad to see that someone understood it was a personal swipe against a person, not a general swipe against all transgendered people.

Yes, it was harsh. Should I have thought more before I said it? Maybe.

I responded in anger to a statement that living with me might just be worse than being fired out of a cannon. Normally, it wouldn’t have hit that hard, but it came from someone who has said some really, really nasty things about me in the past.

I swiped.

Also, those who said I shouldn’t bring up off-board stuff here are right. I shouldn’t do that. I suppose I forgot the rule when so many off-board things regarding Ms. Magazine’s boards were brought up here.

[CarnalK]

I have to stick up for catsix too. She was criticizing the hypocrisy in KellyM’s views on body modification. I know it’s instinctive to shield a poster who is from a rather put upon demographic, but catsix’s comment is a fair one even if a little meanly put.

[Guinastasia]

I mentioned them because catsix seems to have a bug up her ass about them. Not because anything happened there.

[Syntropy]

@catsix

I happen to be under the impression that a person’s hypocrisy shouldn’t be allowed to stand anywhere. The continued sniping at me because, holy shit, I still disagree with Maureen and I said that I’m not a know nothing who should shut my fucking mouth was only compounded by KellyM and her personal drive-by that living with me would be the worst thing on earth. I didn’t deserve that response to merely pointing out that some people who disagree with Maureen may not be know-nothings who should shut their fucking mouths, they may actually be rape survivors.

A lot of people disagreed with me in that thread. Most of them managed to do it without the frothing and anger you acheived. And yes, you do come across as a misogynist. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone, male or female, so hateful toward women.

[Kaitlyn]

@tripthicket

Isn’t Catsix married to Kaitlyn? I should think that might make her very accepting of transgender persons, but I might be mixing up my terms here. Mixing up my people, as well, since I think Kaitlyn has referred to her spouse as Mrs. Catsix.

Hee hee hee hee hee hee.

Me married to Catsix. That’s a good one.

I’m going to have to print this out so that I can return to it when I need a good laugh.

My wife doesn’t post here.

I prefer to think of it not as “cutting off body parts” so much as having them upgraded.

[Shodan]

@Maureen

And yes, you do come across as a misogynist. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone, male or female, so hateful toward women.

Well, it may not be hatred of women so much as hatred of stupidity.

Why you encounter so much of it I leave as an exercise to the reader.

No offense was intended, to any of the named parties, but I’m glad it’s tickling your funnybone.

[Syntropy]

I’m much more inclined to consider why you’re so drawn to what you consider to be exhibitions of it. Self loathing, or delusions of grandeur?

[sugaree]

Without being privy to the conversation, a comment such as Kelly’s may not be hypocrasy at all. Someone who is underweight, for example, and still desires to lose weight is displaying signs of fucking nutness. Anyone of any weight who dislikes their body so much that they cover up the mirrors in their house just might have some issues.

I’m not saying that those situations necessarily apply to catsix. But without knowing more of the details, we can’t say.

[catsix]

I’m not underweight. I’m not sure exactly what I weigh in pounds, but I do know it’s more than what is considered normal for someone my height.

I currently don’t have a whole lot of mirrors in my house. There’s one in each bathroom. Totally visible. One in one of the other rooms so I can see if i have my pants on right and such.

Do I need more than that?

[Essured]

@CanvasShoes

I’m sorry essured I don’t know you in the slightest, but we’ll have to agree to disagree, in the threads I’ve seen her participate in (quite a few), she’s shown herself to be very angry, accusatory and rabid where it comes to who is supposedly defenseless and oppressed, and who is supposedly the enemy.

Well, pleased to meet you, CanvasShoes! I’ve often found myself enjoying your posts, and regularly agreeing with them, however I think you’re right and we will have to agree to disagree on the subject of catsix.
I don’t find her to be angry, accusatory and rabid at all. Her posts appear to me to be from a strong (and stubborn) person who expresses herself in a forthright, blunt and sometimes harsh manner.
If you’re referring to feminist issues with the phrase “who is supposedly defenseless and oppressed, and who is supposedly the enemy”, then we’ll have to disagree on that, too. I don’t consider men or women to be enemies or defenceless or oppressed. I see some situations as not 100% equal, but do not think the terms ‘enemy’ or ‘defenceless’ apply. YMMV, of course.

@Maureen

Exhibitions of what, stupdity? I’m not particularly drawn to them, although I occasionally find the amusing. I wasn’t drawn to the thread for that, if that is what you mean. I saw catsix in the title, and she came out so well from her last Pitting that I wondered what is was all about this time. More PC crapola, again, unfortunately.

If you are trying out your “men get defensive when I accuse them of rape - they must be guilty” rap again, feel free. Just don’t set your expectations too high.

I don’t see her comment this way. She isn’t stating that transexual are insane, but that somebody who thinks it’ s normal to have a sex change doesn’t have any business stating that someone wanting to merely lose weight should seek psychiatric help.

Basically, she’s stating “it’s the pot calling the kettle black” in a more agressive way.

As for being rude, I didn’t read the original thread, but if ** Kelly M ** actually stated that a person who wants to lose weight needs psychiatric help, it’s most certainly equally rude.

It wasn’t in that thread. It was just an insult set to jack someone who said that being forced to live with me might be worse than being shot out of a cannon coming from someone who’s had a history of insulting me.

I picked something that I’d hoped would say ‘You’ve got no room to talk about my mental state, hypocrite.’

Apparently many people saw it as a condemnation of transsexualism, when that’s not how it was meant at all.

Not sure if you were specifically addressing my post but I guess I should have said catsix attacked the percieved hypocrisy of KellyM’s views, my point being catsix wasn’t attacking anyones gender status.

[Syntropy]

@Shodan

If you are trying out your “men get defensive when I accuse them of rape - they must be guilty” rap again, feel free. Just don’t set your expectations too high.

So, even though both of the men I was discussing this topic with understand that I was NOT in fact stating that “all men are rapists,” and even though I took great pains to make it clear I do NOT think that, you need to continue accusing me of it…why? Oh, that’s right. Because you’re an ass.

So it might not be offensive, but it appears to make no sense.

[Ephemera]

No sense? How so? If **KellyM **did indeed say what **catsix **says she did, how is that not hypocrisy? Transsexualism is a much more intensive body modification program than weight loss by several orders of magnitude and I’m not seeing how a transsexual telling a dieter to seek psychiatric help because s/he should accept his or her body for what it is(!) can be anything but.
