Reply #57: I regard references to "male members" as inherently offensive.

:silly:

OK, now that the double entendre is out of the way, I strongly object to the implication that only "male members here in DU" are somehow innately insensitive or are the only ones who use the term "bitch." This sounds sexist to me, quite frankly, and contrary to reality. Women on DU have referred to female neoconservatives as "bitches" too. This is not a term used only by males. The focus on "males on DU" as being somehow less aware, less sensitive, less concerned, or less 'enlightened' about issues of sexism is itself sexist, imho.

It sure would be great if people discussing this issue could refrain from the suggestion that a DUer's gender made them inherently more or less qualified to discuss it.

Man ... talk about motes and logs!! :eyes: :eyes:
