question:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

Aren't sexist comments, by their very nature, Offensive to Both Genders?

[elleng]

1. Yes,

but we are probably more aware and sensitive, of course.

[laconicsax]

2. They should be.

In practice, they aren't.

BTW: There are more than two genders.

3. well, not according to Five Random Jurors. thanks though.

5. Try not to let it get to you too much.

Juries get it wrong...a lot.

Almost every one of my alerts on blatantly racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, way over-the-top rude personal attacks, or blatant newbie trolling get rejected by juries as frivolous. Often, jurors will explicitly agree with the alert but vote to leave anyway. One of my favorites was when I alerted on a racist post that went 3-3. One of the "leave it" jurors agreed that the post was racist but didn't think it was offensive enough to hide.

I've just started viewing the alert as a symbolic gesture.

6. Methinks thou dost

think too much.

Seriously, this is way whack. You must chill. We are not our Earth shells. We are not vaginas. We are not melanin content. I am that I am...

[Zorra]

8. Yep. You is that you is, and one thing you is,

is gone.



When you tell someone they think too much, it usually means you don't think much.

9. It's funny how many people are PPR'd in this group.

Good grief.

[mister roboto]

12. Maybe that's because it's not getting enough exercise. n/t

[Rex]

14. Oh no it is, you seem to be doing all the work.

[mister roboto]

11. Enough.

I would have put "think enough."

In any case, ooooo....pasting that tombstone obviously means something to you. What, I haven't a clue. It only reflects on your need to create an artificial environment where everyone agrees with your ideas. Sorry, dearie--no such place.

[Starry Messenger]

13. Bye again.

[stevenleser]

10. Methinks its hard to think with pizza shoved down your throat, troll.

Buh-bye.

Don't go away mad, just go away.
