i stepped in because i was taken back by the nature of a post that really surprised me, nothing more.
which btw wasn't even USED as a slur toward a true homosexual
??? you are kidding, right? i mean, you cant possibly take that last statement seriously, can you? the moderator has already stated that ridicule was "normal" and acceptable and youre going to suggest now that ridicule is not a slur?
yet you are quick to describe the majority of women as shallow and lusting after overly muscled, vein bulging men
show me where i ever said women were shallow. show me where i ever said the lusted over anything. i related my own personal experience and nothing more.
however, since
you are on the subject, i suppose women dont like hardbodies.....i suppose that women love vin diesel for his superior acting abilities.......
I think this is exactly what Mr. 5.0 MEANS by special treatment...
i think you arent paying attention to the same conversation. mr. 5.0's statements are nothing more than hate talk. i find his statements as a moderator especially deplorable. the role of a moderator on
most boards is to be fair to
everyone, not justify the ridicule of
anyone.
I highly doubt you would pay attention if someone on here used the word biatch, or ho, etc....even though those words can be equally as "offensive" to some women.
it would really depend on the usage. "biatch" and "ho" can both be used jokingly as a term of endearment. if it were hate speak i wouldnt ignore it anymore than any other class. still, there is a bit of a difference. for the most part, the womens cause has arrived. women are not blatently ridiculed for being women, its just not publically acceptable anymore.
but I get kinda ticked when you join this board and start criticizing the way we talk
but you defend open ridicule of people who happen to be different......that interesting.
and i havent criticized the way you talk. initially i found a post surprising and the moderator opened it up into much more.
when we aren't even insulting another member in any way.
lol.....
wrong! i just happen to respect the privacy of other members too much to draw their names into it.
I would tell you to either take our forums for what they are, or find another
you are certainly right about that much. i found this forum and i was really impressed with how friendly it seemed. if this is indeed a place of oppressive hate speak then i would definately be better suited elsewhere. i just have not yet determined if it is limited to a couple people or if it is a fair representation of the group as a whole.
i am by no means perfect. in the past i too have made (and defended) improper statements about women, blacks, gays, and <insert group here> and i didnt think anything of them. i have since however, learned the value and ultimate importance of tolerance.
BTW....Welcome to Mustangworks
thank you.
