I dunno. I’m pretty sure the only legitimate use of the word is in the remake of the Dam Busters. ---

I was just driving to work and turned on the radio and first thing I hear is some US rapper going nigger this and nigger that. So I switch channel, and behold another US rapper going nigger nigger nigger blah blah blah. I think at least they could switch to Eskimo once in a while, just for the variety. > [@](#): > > Who’s afraid of the punk police? > Eskimos run the streets, no justice no peace > Fuck the law, rather draw than do time > Don’t fuck with mine, cross the line, my two nines > go baya baya when I shoot 'em > Korean mothafuckers was crooked, so Eskimos had to burn and loot 'em > Now the streets ain’t safe at night > My Eskimos!

Because honestly, while I am a hardcore feminist, I am still quite un-PC IRL and scatter my sentences with plenty of words and expressions that might be considered offensive if taken out of context (and even then). And normally I can take a joke. Obviously, I did not get the movie reference (oddly enough since my brain is full of that crap. And I can’t believe I mixed up Andy and David Brent, too. Where’s my head?). But I know what happens to ‘eskimo pussy’ in major cities, and ‘Indian pussy,’ and it’s usually just so fucking tragic the last thing I wanted to see was some stupid joke about it on the Dope. ---

I can’t even imagine how someone like **liberty3707** or **Cat Fight** can possibly have anything resembling a normal relationship with any man, considering that they both seem to view men as inherently evil beings and are constantly looking for some kind of offense. How can one have a normal relationship with someone when one is completely paranoid that somewhere lurking beneath the surface is this devious sexism which they must always be on guard for? Unless, of course, the only men that they have relationships with are self-loathing hardcore feminists who also believe that evil is inextricably linked with the Y chromosome. I have seen male humans like that, but I do hesitate to think of them as ‘men’ in any real sense. ---

You are an offense kleptomaniac. It seems like every other post of yours regards you taking offense at some joke or another, or reminding us all about the rampant, insidious sexism that plagues all of humanity. It’s as if you are a certain type of equine who is capable only of performing a single task. You’re almost like a comic book character. It’s as if you’re Super Feminist and your Offensometer is seeking out the members of the evil Sexist Syndicate. It’s rather reminiscent of the 18 year-old college freshman (excuse me, fresh **womyn** ) who joins the local campus feminist organization and starts telling the myths about the Super Bowl and the rape stairs being designed so that only “womyn” can run up them. You start to see the evil everywhere, not because it’s so pervasive, but because you want to see it. Otherwise you might have to admit that your enemy is largely a fabricated bogeyman, and that would kind of mean you wasted a lot of time and effort. I’m sure you started out trying to do a good thing, but you’re way beyond that now. Your desire to find every instance of even the most remotely un-pc thing to be said about women and then make some kind of point about it will not make you Super Feminist the hero to all the world. It will make you Super Feminist the annoyance to a large part of society. Take the cape off, put away the righteous campus womyn’s organization anger, and give up this ridiculous crusade. You might actually be happier if you stop looking for shit to be angry about. > [@](#): > > **The Tao’s Revenge** said: > So what defines “man” for you? Well for one, they can’t believe in the patriarchy, testosterone poisoning, or that it’s necessary to act feminine in order to not be sexist oppressors. ---

> [@catsix](#): > > Well for one, they can’t believe in the patriarchy, testosterone poisoning, or that it’s necessary to act feminine in order to not be sexist oppressors. Well the human genome evolved around a 49% chance of testosterone so I’d hope it can handle it. I do think there’s a sexism problem is some of the more backwoods parts of the world, and volunteering at a domestic violence shelter **Cat Fight** is exposed to the darker side of male female relationships. Although sometimes it works the other way. Women can be the abusers. Not usually though. If you were meeting alot of women assaulted, raped, and abused by men I bet it’d color your perceptions too, whether fairly or unfairly. Also some men do naturally have tendencies toward things our society considers feminine. It doesn’t make them yellowed livered, or even “girly”. Quite the opposite. It takes courage to tell society to fuck off and let you be you. That said, I do agree there’s prolly some self hating men trying to be what they’re not. They have issues. ---

I wanted to see if the joke was about FMJ. I figured you were on your usual rampage about sexism, but then there you were, channeling Andrea Dworkin. I must admit, this is like your screech being turned up to 11. It’s fascinating in a pathetic, train-wreck kind of way. You really do see these things everywhere you look. I mean it’s not like I think no such thing exists at all, but to you it’s as if you seem to think you need to be hyper-aware because it’s just around the corner, lurking in every shadow, just waiting for you to drop your guard even a little bit and then it’s going to get you. There is some bad, but not nearly as much as you seem to see. ---

What screeching? What are you on about? Do you have me confused with someone you know, and hate, in real life? (Or perhaps a woman you knew in college?) ‘It’s not like I think no such thing exists at all’? You’re too kind, really. And I imagine you’re the only one with the good sense to point it out when it does (which is rarely, I take it). And anyone who can’t see it is a blind fool ,and anyone who suggests any additional examples is hysterical. I don’t hate men, but those people who assume a women _must_ despise the opposite sex because she notices, hey, there is a very real problem in this country when it comes to sexual violence, well, they make me sad. Especially since they’re the sort of people who make real men of integrity feel like they’re ‘less manly’ for not being assholes. What a narrow little life you must lead. ---

Pity me for not finding offense everywhere I turn. Pity me for having a successful career. Pity me for liking men who prefer _Full Metal Jacket_ to _Steel Magnolias_. Pity me because I don’t believe I need a handout, or a quota, or special consideration to get ahead in life. Pity me because I have learned that leaving the safety of the porch means getting dirty. Yeah, my life is so narrow. I’ll remember that when I’m in Mexico in January on the beach having a good time with the guys, not sitting at home imagining rapists around every corner. ---

At this rate I’m going to have to resort to doing actual work, which has been slow going since right now I am in that Dilbert strip where Alice is trying to explain to the customer that she can design the software to do whatever the customer wants, hence she needs some requirements and the customer asks if she can write the software to tell him what the requirements are.
