Goddammit, I'm mad!

[RevCheesehead]

I cannot believe the sexism and homophobia spewing forth in GD.
What the hell have we devolved into - freepers??? :grr:

1. You MUST be mad!!!

:hug: Do you have a link?

5. It's an overall feeling that's pervading the board.

Not limited to any one post, but Jesus Christ, the mindset of some people!

9. I knew there was a reason to stay out of GD today...

I wish I hadn't looked.

11. Me, too, hon.

:banghead:

Maybe someday I'll be able to fit in with the rest of the beautiful people. Oh, wait - I'm not beautiful. But surely, it's OK because my husband loves me. Oh, wait - I don't have a husband. Well, at least you have your kids. Oh, wait - my kids are feline.

And WTF is it with the lesbian thing? I thought we didn't give a rat's ass about orientation. Oh, wait - it's a Repuke, therefore we can stigmatize them.

Holy fucking shit.

2. some of the CRAP

that passes for "TOPICS" in GD are not even worthy of the lounge...or should I say the lounge is to dang good for all that GD crap? Even GD:politics is CRAP...

3. Crazy, isn't it?

:crazy:

4. Almost as crazy as a double post...

6. Desperation

There is no sense of leadership or direction coming from our representitives. Thus they are lashing around for some sense of direction. They look to tactics that work despite being immoral. They are desperate.

8. And so we eat our own?

It's permissible to stigmatize and let loose disgusting prejudices, all because we don't want to like "the woman"?

Some days, I really, really hate our own people.

7. No kidding! I don't even know where to start because

there's a lot of it that makes no sense whatsoever.

Hang in there Rev. :hug:

10. idiocy

12. I've definitely noticed the sexism increasing lately

but have held back from saying anything because I know it would start flamewar #4165725....

The Ignore feature is my friend these days. It's really kinda sad I have to do that. :(

[khashka]

13. Oh, Rev! It's par for the course....

And even a lot of us aren't immune to it.

Unmarried at the 'appropriate" age? DYKE! FAG! Yeah, well, eat my shorts.

And make up? I'm all in favour of girls painting their faces.... but most woman look better without it.

I think the ladies get it worse, though.

As for us being freepers - we have all the same bullshit heterosexist, misgynistic hang ups that are endemic to our society.... but we question them.


And I will say it again - stay out of GD! It's rarely a nice place to hang out.

This sort of post is really not a good idea - not helpful to compare DUers to freepers.
