Guess I'm just tired of some of the word police. Seems there is a handful of people who claim to have the last word in all cases. I refuse to have my feminist credentials questioned when they know NOTHING about me or my efforts over many years.
I am totally against racist slurs, don't use them, don't approve of them. But I've seen alerts on BS stuff, which takes away from the real problems. Guess that's what I'm reacting to, and to make a point, maybe I've gone too far in the other direction in some of my responses.
