There is not a chance in hell you believe in actual equality to the point of declaiming double standards, you sexy lady who’s not old enough to drink, you.
I understand you were once a mod. With reading comprehension that poor I realize why the verb is in the past tense.
I can’t remember the exact exchange, but along the lines of:
Had my other coworker or I been anything other than polite, we would have been pulled up IMMEDIATELY by a Team Leader as our chat function is monitored. Also, had it been condescending or seeking to assume authority, he would have immediately complained to a TL himself. As it was, he became belligerent and stroppy and at that point I asked the TL to intervene, which was done.
From that point up until Tuesday this week when we got a new (female) TL he had abided by the instruction to keep gun-talk out of the workplace. On Tuesday he had a meltdown at the meeting because DESPITE having been shown how and why gun-talk is not ok, he still feels it’s his right to talk about it regardless.
Just like the fellas in this thread who have been told how and why calling someone a hot chick in some contexts is not ok, but still feel it’s their right as red-blooded males to continue to do so.
Interesting that you don’t mention you calling women, that are not your wife, ‘hot chick’ in front of your wife or other women.
CMC fnord!
Way to stay on point, pusforbrains.
Let’s see you wander around Harlem while repeatedly yelling “NIGGER!”
I offered a rebuttal here, you stupid fuck.
Same.
Once had a coworker who said honey/sweetie/etc. obessively. I told her I really didn’t appreciate the endearments. She said “Well, honey, that’s how we do it down south!” My reply? “We are well above the Mason-Dixon line and that’s not how we do it up here, so please stop.”
That’s a terrible example. I don’t wander around anywhere yelling anything. But, as I ask in the Serena cartoon thread, why the implication that black folks mindlessly react with violence to a word?
And do black folks wander around Harlem acting as you suggest I do?
You must have missed the adjective “cogent.”
The violence in that case wouldn’t be mindless, understand. It would be a response to a veritable request for a pummeling.
That said, I agree that it’s a terrible example of how you don’t actually believe in contextless equality. A better example would be how you probably would have an issue with being referred to exclusively as a woman, and how you probably don’t think that people should just wander into whichever bathroom pleases them at a given moment.
Not implying anything, simply suggesting that you try your “not believing in double standards” where real life consequences could interfere.
Sounds racist to imply that black folk are conditioned to react violently to words. That said, the presence of mob violence being a “consequence” doesn’t make double standards right. Why do you and others want to encourage an environment of double standards based on race or so-called gender?
I believe that people should not have to take precautions against rape. Rape still happens. You think rape is appropriate in any circumstance?
I think you’re scrambling to find ways to deflect, hoping that nobody will notice the corner that you’ve argued yourself into.
Hey, Starving Artist! I think pusforbrains is pulling ahead in the “Cobwebs In The Windmills Of His Mind” contest. What have you got to top this?
There is no corner. I’m not the one suggesting a society of double standards enforced by mob violence.
No woman should have to deal with misogynistic cyber hate speech.
Do you have an “applause” machine you switch on after these “bon mots”, or is it all in your head?
Nice excluded middle you have there.
