Saying Hot Chick = Being A Misogynist Asshole

[Measure_for_Measure]

@Kimstu

:rolleyes: Remember, folks, what originally triggered this whole melodramatic doom-laden meltdown, and the fifteen-odd pages of arguing that preceded it, was the mere fact of a moderator mildly directing two posters in an Elections thread to rein in their irrelevant digression about a “hot chick” spotted in footage of Senate confirmation hearings.

Nobody else gave the digressing posters any flak at all about their brief excursion into sexualized talk. Nobody opened a Pit thread to rant about how the male posters in question are “their enemy”.

Nobody offered any criticism whatever of the expression used in this brief digression, until some indignant men opened first an ATMB thread and then this Pit thread demanding (over and over) to be told how such an expression could possibly be open to criticism.

The people overreacting here aren’t the “overly sensitive liberal women”; they’re the fragile-masculinity sexism-soaked conservative men, inflicting upon the rest of us their prolonged infuriated tantrums over the completely unremarkable observation that it’s not always appropriate in every situation to refer to a woman as a “hot chick”.

That’s the jaw dropping thing. Let’s review what caused this conservative male kurfluffle.

@UltraVires

Also, did anyone notice how the hot chick in the blue dress has been put aside so that Condi Rice is in full view during Kav’s opening statement? I hate politics.

@HurricaneDitka

I had some meetings, just tuning into Kavanaugh’s statement now. When was there a hot chick in blue?

@Jonathan_Chance

Stay focused, gentlemen.

That was the source of this latest conservative outrage. That is the hill they want to die on. This male does not pit UltraVires or even Hurricane for their comments in that thread. No, what I pit is the ATMB multi-page conservative male whinefest. “Stay focused gentlemen”: that’s what they objected to.

Manners. Class. Self respect. These are traditional conservative values, upheld by today’s liberals and place under siege by the modern conservative.
