> [@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. > [@Can Democrats actually stop the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-democrats-actually-stop-the-nomination-of-brett-kavanaugh/820733/77): > > 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. > [@Can Democrats actually stop the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-democrats-actually-stop-the-nomination-of-brett-kavanaugh/820733/78): > > I had some meetings, just tuning into Kavanaugh’s statement now. When was there a hot chick in blue? > [@Can Democrats actually stop the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-democrats-actually-stop-the-nomination-of-brett-kavanaugh/820733/79): > > 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/saying-hot-chick-being-a-misogynist-asshole/820925)._
