Is anyone else as amused by this as I am? So many new threads

re: feminism in GD since we announced the formation of this group? It has certainly brought the troops out of the woodwork, hasn't it? I'm not as pissed off anymore, I'm choosing to just laugh at them.

1. True... it's had the opposite effect than was intended on me as well.

With the added benefit of showing us who our friends are. :hi:

3. Oh, ITA there. Hi, friends! nt.

[Misunderestimator]

5. ITA?

9. I Totally Agree. Sorry, I spent all morning at another website

and I guess my 'net lingo is a little scrambled.

11. No problem... I haven't seen that before... Thanks.

[BlueIris]

2. Seen the Longue lately?

I just...don't even know what to say about some of the newer threads in there. I've been alerting on a lot of posts though, not so much as a feminist, but as a non-homophobe and decent human being.

6. The Lounge seems to have gone goofy with the sex stuff again,

and I'd bet that pretty soon Skinner will have to pin another note at the top of the page.

4. I'm somewhat amazed at what's happening

I happily stunned at all the folks who are active in this group and the amount of attention threads are getting. :grouphug: Then, I'm also amused at all the "feminism" discussion. I'll laugh with you, well sort of.

7. I am astonished and gratified at how this Group has just taken

off! It's fantastic.

8. Isn't it neat?! We've got a "page 2" already!

:bounce:

[BlueIris]

10. Page 2? What what WHAT?

Nice. I hadn't noticed.

12. It certainly is a convenient way to call out the whiners! :)

It's like having The Princess or Cuban_Liberal back again, to complain complain complain when someone mentions their particular hot-button issue.

And the amount of PROJECTION that goes on is astounding! State that there is still work to be done on women's equality, and you can be certain some nitwits will jump in whining about "male-bashing" and "special rights" and blah blah blah.

Love ta watch 'em throw their little tantrums!

:rofl:

[Bunny]

13. Heh. The "male bashing" thing is pretty funny.

Equal rights for women = less rights for men, right? It's interesting to see who is responding.

14. In the work I do, I'm constantly running up against that meme:

Being FOR opportunities for girls means being AGAINST opportunities for boys. It's the zero-sum thinking that afflicts even seemingly educated people. Proof that it's possible to go to school, get a degree (maybe more than one) and still be dumb as a box of rocks. :eyes:

[Bunny]

15. Zero-sum is a perfect way to describe it.

:thumbsup:

16. yes yes yes

I love to have an occasional brouhaha in GD over sexist language...lets me update my list. :)
