Misogyny and Moderation, again

What I really would have liked is a mod note on the first post and a warning on the second–though the second might not have happened if their had been a mod note on the first.

But apparently we can’t mod that sort of thing–it’s been discussed to death. Look how careful engineer_comp_geek is here not to actually condemn nate’s behavior:

See how passive that is? “understand why many in this thread are finding his post to be so offensive”. If I were hosting a party and someone said "Man, I get so distracted by ass. All I can think is “I want to hit that”, I wouldn’t get bogged down by “some may find your remarks offensive”. That’s weasel words. That’s “it’s not my place to say if this is offensive”

Here, again, focusing entirely on whether the issue/topic might be interesting, and nothing about the offensive way it was phrased. No suggestion demeaning descriptions of women and objectifying idioms are a problem at all.

And, again, the topic was fine–though I don’t think the OP wanted to do anything but get off by telling stories about his incredibly masculine response to female bodies. But again and again and again in these threads the topic is all that is evaluated: the phrasing doesn’t even register to the mods.
