I find it insulting and demeaning that women are called "girls" on C-D dozens of times a day, because it IS insulting and demeaning to call a grown woman a girl. Should I report all of them?
You're deliberately antagonizing him. Even I can see that.

I don't like it when people here refer to women as girls, either, but if you notice, it's usually the same guys who do that. Thing is, they are not aiming it at you specifically, the way you are aiming your barbs at Diss.

So, I didn't call him a "boy" after he threatened to report me. Got it.

Welllll... He said he found it insulting and demeaning, and asked Moon to stop. Moon deliberately continuing to do so is a form of "bickering" and "antagonism."
It is also a form of something that starts with a T and will end in an infraction.

And honestly? It's also a race thing here in the States. Moon may not be intending it this way, and I really don't know how generational this is, but my mother would have slapped me right on the noggin if she ever heard me call a black man "boy."

Note to self: Next time, read a little more into a thread before being redundant. But I'm leaving this up as one more voice.
Yep I didn't and wouldn't know that about BOY as from my location.

I apologise i do that an awful lot just going off one post no harm was intended on my part.

Apologies diss

Maybe I'm just in the wrong subforums the last few years, but I don't see a LOT of obvious and honest woman-hate here. I think it may be that women are quick to jump on that bandwagon - easier to explain things. Frankly though, there ARE some men who are just beyond help - either that or they will never reach mental maturity.

Read my post again - I said show me where I said it AFTER you threatened to report me. You can't, because I didn't.

Of course, I could get all pissy that now you're calling me a troll, but I won't because that would be silly.

Not this sub-forum, but Relationships. Plenty of misogyny there, let me tell you. And some misandry, as well. But I think there's more misogyny, simply owing to the fact that some people are so determined to spew it that they keep coming back to vomit up more tripe every time they get banned.

There are also a few very obviously disturbed individuals, guys who go on about how women dancing and wearing cleavage-baring tops do it just to tease men, how women dancing "with their boobs hanging out" will drive men to rape and other forms of violence, and how one day American men will decide not to defend the country from jihadis because American men are tired of all the teasing and not getting laid. Really insane garbage that, quite frankly, is the stuff of Elliot Rodger, and I wouldn't be surprised if one day a manifesto appeared on this site in conjunction with a similar mass killing.

You know what? I'm just going to let your posts speak for themselves. And I agree with Diss on this.

Lol, then you must not hang out in Relationships or Politics and Other Controversies much! Those two are the worst.

Over in Politics I was told that the only way women could prevent rape was to arm themselves - absolutely no male accountability in any way, shape or form, not a single thought given to changing the culture or making the penalties for rape harsher. Don't talk to me about women jumping on the bandwagon - there's a lot of sick men out there who despise women for simply being women.
