I know I'm sexist

I love looking at hot babes, especially if they're fine looking red heads with freckles.

I love lesbian porn, but watching two guys makes me ill.

I think men make better head chefs than women, or least the more famous ones.

I think that pissed off women are more vicious and fight more dirty than men.

Unless your name is Wilson, Jett or Benetar if you're a woman, most guys are better rockers than you.

I think guys cheerleading is kinda gay.

Women make better moms than guys.

Honey is a great name for a woman, If she's my wife.

Women who vote for Republicans should have their heads examined.

The only thing one guy should put into another guy is a bullet. (Thanks Bill Maher)

BTW, I share the same red headed, freckle fetish. I don't know why and, dammit, I don't want to know why.

I also share that fetish! Pale redhead freckle... rar :D

"The only thing one guy should put into another guy is a bullet. (Thanks Bill Maher)"

That's what that one was about.

I'm not afraid of gay people. Nor do I think that their lives. liberties or pursuits of happiness should be restricted in any way.

Live and let live, that's what I say.

It's just that homosexuality isn't conducive to my personal lifestyle.

:eyes: very stupid to celebrate sexism.

I'm only human.

Now that I got that off my chest, i'll just stick it back under a rock where it belongs,

proud of. :shrug:

:boring:

:shrug:

to purposefully ridiculous threads.

ourselves and mock the world as well (with the hopes that the Mirth Police won't beat us for laughing)

so it sounds like it's perfectly fine to cheer on sexist posts.

My giddyness at seeing a post laughing at one's own moral warts was deeply evil. I'll squelch my urge to laugh at a dumb post on a message board, or cheer on such self-consciously dumb posts, until it has been cleared by the DU Department of Propriety.

this one.

There is a hidden thread function. It works quite nice. :)

there's something called respect and common sense. It works very well in combating sexist posts like this one.

:boring:

this post.

I only put myself out to die for 4 women so far. Maybe I just have a problem with man-haters. Besides can't you tell when something is in jest?

why do you assume that because I and others who find this offensive "hate men?" Why aren't our complaints legitimate in your eyes?

Jesus

it's the equivalent of standing by and doing nothing while something like sexism and homophobia is encouraged.

I didn't go spoil that. She has the same right to free speech that Mr Scorpio has. Geesh.

I post anything remotely feminist or stand up for myself, I get labeled a man-hating bitch.

and I don't see anywhere where I called you a bitch. Show me that.

to women in this post. That is a personal attack.

Slinker. You have never heard me say that you're that label. And you never will. I respect you as a fellow DUer and lizard to do anything like that.

Know let me ask you this, have you ever detected that I might really be a sexist pig?

I don't think so, since this post caught you waaay off guard.

he's a huge misogynist and I don't like seeing his material here in the lounge.

guard duty. Who knows how things might go without such vigilance.

called the thought police?

It might be a generality? Or I could be saying that you're being a prude in this instance?

But it sure seems that you might be acting like one.

that's a personal attack.

I think I'll just put you on ignore and spare myself the grief, ok?

You don't know me... but uh... hi :p

Shouldn't be all up in arms over a silly post in Lounge at midnight -- the author didn't do this to bash females I'm sure. He didn't list horribly sexist things like "Women should be subservient to men" etc... he was just making a joke :)

I'm a feminist myself, and have been described as a very militant one. We're DU... not FR. We shouldn't be offended by little trifling things =)

<3 <3 <3 :grouphug: :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

has to be really discussed instead of laughing about it. Laughing about it only encourages the perpetuation of sexism, and the way in which men receive those posts.

You start with the jokes and then, before you know it, you end up with the insults, which is one step below violence.

But look at it like this. People who get to this point are assholes.

Now after two years here, who can seriously call me an asshole? (If you do it, please make sure you're smiling)

And they are really serious. These are the guys who keep their wives (common law or otherwise) pregnant, uneducated in the kitchen.

Now maybe I was being a little clumsy about being silly, but i did put a few clues in to show it was silly.

Now I will say this. I'm am concerned that you are offended. Okay I offended you. I see that now. But I'm not apologizing. I'm sure you know why.

promotes sexism here in the lounge even though you know it's silly and say it's to mock those men. The posts in here clearly reveal attacks against me for having concerns about what this post promotes.

others might object to a post like this one.

Feel free to go join the Republicans. They're looking for people like you.

Frankly, I thought that some folks would add their own stupid comments and we'd have a nice little collection of stupid comments. I guess I was waaaay wrong. It was taken too seriously.

Anyways, just the same.

I've been a pissy mood all day because of work.

So I guess I'm having a little company with me.

tags like <irony> <sarcasm> <just bullshit> <blowing off steam> etc would be assumed when posts are in the lounge?

I mean really, maybe next fund raising drive we can get a laugh track installed in the lounge so that people don't get all upset if someone is pissing about?

Oh well, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and thought you were screwing around, silly me. I'd best go and have my sense of the ridiculous removed.

:-)

We all turn intro Freepers for Halloween. Let's think of some really good April foolies on 1 April.

About this I AM serious for once.

to be freepers on April Fool's Day.

They'll come out cause they can't help it

Great post! A refreshing bit of regular-human-being-dom coming in--thanks!

However, maybe I have thunk so I cannot am...

I love looking at hot women, especially blonds.

I don't like watching guys in leotards.

The way to my heart is still through my stomach.

I like it when women wear make-up.

Just trying to lighten the room a little. :)

Is because we don't take ourselves too seriously.

A little idiocy is refreshing now and then. All refined cultures have their silly season.

By being stupid from time to time, we're actually showing how refined we are.

If we take ouselves too seriously, we'll be no better than the right wingers.

Now those guys say shit like that and really mean it.

:D

and take it in stride.

It's the sourpusses I'm cranked about.

I gotta admit though, I do have a preference for blonds. :)

Why is the first instinct on a purposefully dopey thread to throw a fit instead of ignoring it?

Look closely at the post. It's offensive.

It's freaking obvious that it was purposefully dopey.

When am I serious about ANYTHING?

I'M NEVER SERIOUS.

If these folks knew me they would know this.

In a way, it makes me sad that people haven't figured this out.

I think folks should know me better.

Seriously, folks REMEMBER: I'm never serious.

look at put out's post. It affected her like it did me.

it's an instance of you not taking women's and gay men's concerns seriously.

Be frivolous at your own expense by all means, but this post becomes offensive because it is trivializing the concerns of people who deal with enough shit from their enemies without taking it from their "friends".

And you're posting among 40,000 people who obviously don't know you. And it's not really their fault that they don't- it's a anonymous web forum and you're posting under a pseudonym. So arguing that if we knew you we wouldn't take offense and therefore it's our fault for misreading your post is a little silly.

:toast:

It's just an abomination, a derangement of the universe.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. :)

Or Tiny. Then they can wear anything they want.

Edit: Stupid freaking typo

I think this used to be more popular.

How we have fallen.

Nothin like the old days. :D

and it's sad

I love looking at hot babies, any color at all.

My favorite porn is two men, or a man and a tranny.

Do you do most of the cooking for family and friends? or only when you're paid to do it, and get adulation? Perhaps you do all the food preparation for yourself and your others. If so, my apologies.

You are right, fists and guns kill you, but unkind words hurt your feelings.

Women aren't intelligent enough to appreciate good music. That is why women cant write or play anything.

Women were only allowed to become cheerleaders for coed colleges (after they became coed) when men left for war. And they women are just a pale imitation of the original cheerleaders.

Guys can't be mothers. Some are great parents. Some guys make better primary caretakers.

I think "Honey" is nice to be called, if it is clearly a term of endearment. Not so much if it is used to diminutize the one called "Honey". Can someone else call you that? Anyone else? Can someone else call your wife "Honey"? Could I?

I agree.

Dear, me, honey, you shouldn't even be kidding.



It's late, and that post made all my hair stand up. It's been a sexist day for me, and I was on the receiving end (not good).

My edit for spelling, and is diminutize a word? I think I mean diminish another person.

The "honey" line stuck out like a sore thumb.

This one clearly says that the only woman I would call honey is my WIFE!!!!
(She loves it when I call her that, BTW. And her name for me is SWEETPEA)

Thanks for understanding.!!

Big old stinka! Yeah, "Honey" strikes a nerve.

But my other points, I stand by, sort of. When I feel like it.

Poopy-head stuff like Women can't make good music and Women can't make good food and all the other stuff, tread carefully.

Or I will misspell and use unnecessary punctuation. I am not joking about this.

Sorry :)

the best jazz singer ever.

I heard that Billie Holiday had the blues.

such as "Violets For My Furs"

with that ridiculously deep voice...not the objectivy quality of singing.

making any more posts that promotes sexism or repeats sexist quotes, jokes, et al.

and most other guys. Funny post! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I see it as a joke...don't let others say otherwise.

as sexist.

and the poster clearly stated it was a joke. I've read your posts here about it. With all do respect...why is it hard for you to realize that? You're the only person with any problems with it.

look at posts 63, 26, 23, and 2. They also had a problem with this post.

I think it's only you. A joke is a joke. Since when is a joke supposed to be taken seriously? My guess is...never. Here is the definition of the word "joke." Kudos to Merriam-Webster online for the definition. I added the bold to prove a point:

Main Entry: 1joke
Pronunciation: 'jOk
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin jocus; perhaps akin to Old High German gehan to say, Sanskrit yAcati he asks
1 a : something said or done to provoke laughter; especially : a brief oral narrative with a climactic humorous twist b (1) : the humorous or ridiculous element in something (2) : an instance of jesting : KIDDING <can't take a joke> c : PRACTICAL JOKE d : LAUGHINGSTOCK
2 : something not to be taken seriously : a trifling matter <consider his skiing a joke -- Harold Callender> -- often used in negative construction <it is no joke to be lost in the desert>

and it's not only me. Look at post 63 for a better explanation of why people might find this post sexist.

It's crap like this that perpetrates and enforces a continuation of mindless sexism. Whenever *anyone* finds a sexist joke amusing, automatically reduces the pain and suffering of one who has endured (oftentimes) pain beyond your understanding.

What's more, you really don't care about the feelings of others. I've long since have gotten sick of the "locker room" male bonding crap. Because what you say is what you really are at the core.

What do I know? Just my two cents, for what little it's worth these days.

thanks for speaking up. :hi:

My spouse had to fight this kind of idiotic crap for most of her life. When she joined the military, way back when sexism was the norm, she fought tooth and nail to just be allowed to do her job without the hostility and contempt we've seen here lately. I've seen, first hand, the consequences of this kind of shit and it's never pretty nor "funny". It hurts. Far more than these little boys will ever understand.

What shocks my spouse and daughter (also a military vet) is the attitude of some of the females here. It's...amazing. Oh well. It doesn't really matter. They are as clueless as the freepers they claim(some of them at any rate) to despise.

:(

edited for word ommision.

and when I hear women say "Oh, they're just joking," they don't know what they're really doing is by letting the sexism in jokes or posts go, that they are encouraging the perpetration of it.

"Hot babes"? What's this got to do with sweaty pigs herding sheep?

I like lesbian hamster porn, but I draw the line at lemmings.

Men make better head chefs cause they don't complain about wearing the kneepads. (I know, that's bad.)

Women don't fight any dirtier....they just remember what you did that pissed 'em off long after you've forgotten it.

My dear departed grandma was a far better rocker than most anyone...and if you didn't agree, she'd sic the little bug-eyed shiver-and-piss chihuahua who shared her rocker on you.

So what you really wanna see is a lineup of red-headed (with freckles) cheerleaders cause you'd just know it'd make a good porn movie, knowing of course that they're probably lesbians?

Of course women make better moms...it's why we call male parents "dads".

I'll agree women who vote GOP oughta be examined, but then again they'd probably tell me I'm gonna burn in hell. (And why I have Nomex fur.)

And last but not least...I can think of a few guys (mostly inside the beltway) who *need* a bullet.

With tongue planted firmly in my furry widdle cheek...

Hammies!

Why did you leave out tall leggy brunets?
(arg, I'm so angry, ary ary, you misogynist. Brunets can be hot too!)

Sexist things I do:
Holding doors open for women; old, young, whatever, I can't help myself.
Paying for dinner.
Sleeping closest to the door (to protect) or on the left side when the bed is facing the door (so that I am in the drivers seat.)
Holding the remote?
Walking/driving girls home after dark.
Eating bad cooking with a smile.

Me like!
things I like to
- make her laugh
- talk about stuff with her such as life
- being respectful of what she has to say

that was :
I know I am a racist

And then started listing gems like:

"I hate going to the grocery store after food stamp day, cause they are always out of watermelons"

only as a 'joke' of course

just wondering...

discriminatory intent is the same. I wish the mods would lock posts that promote sexism.

Scha-WING!

"...Wilson, Jett or Benetar..." BWAHAHA! now that is funny!

as for the rest of your post,
it stinks.

is the Maher quote.
besides the fact that it is not funny, Maher is an ass
who hates women and gays. sadly too, there are thousands who would agree with that quote and might even take it one step further, as in it's ok to put a bullet into someone who is gay.

there's nothing funny about sexism.
it is to all too easy to make jokes if you, yourself, have never suffered from it.
