Reply #57: Let me say first, that i appreciate your approaching me and the issue with respect

[whathehell]

It's more than anyone else has done, so thank you.

You mention that there is a conflict between me and "everybody here over

the idiomatic expression being used" by the Rude Pundit who doesn't even post here.

I get your point, at least in part, but you may have noticed that

"everybody else" who has disagreed with me is male. I think that

is worth noting even if it is not the entire answer.


My complaint was that the RP's quote was posted, and I did allude to that

in my first or second post.

I would imagine that most here don't actually "sanction" abuse of women

but I, and many others, find it very hurtful and disrespectful

to see the idea of it so flippantly used as humor.

With that, I see a BIG distinction in the sensitivity level toward the abuse

of women and the abuse of other groups...As I mentioned,

should the pundit make references to Beating Fags or "whooping niggers"

r something, the response here would be VERY different and I think

we can probably agree on that.
