In reply to the discussion: Just for the record... [View all]boston bean
(36,651 posts)4. Oh, and the jury left it.
So then, because I would really like to spit in the face of a couple of posters here (you know who you are), I thought some sarcasm was in order. I thought a funny story with my female friend (who is hot as hell) who photos golfers did a strip club tourney would do the trick. (I thought it was pretty funny) Well that was def flamebait, but again, so fucking what? That too (Once past my obvious sarcasm) could have become a discussion about how much my friend (who is hot as hell) has to make little compromises to do her job. Or how she (even though she is hot as hell) is fortunate enough to not have to become a stripper in order to support herself. Or how she works all day taking photos for a few bucks but the strippers get that stuffed in their G string every five minutes. Or how Walter Ioss is HER favorite photographer too and she thinks that being an SI photographer is THE DREAM JOB.
really I've been here a long time and we used to be able to discuss stuff. I know that I have added to it myself, sometimes, probably because I am not with a female partner now, and every once in a while I feel the need to piss someone (a woman or women usually) off, and I do it on DU. But look at my past posts and you wills ee that I seldom post int he sex wars thread. I'd much rather talk about important stuff but the posts die. The list of shit DU don't care about is getting longer everyday (see the TTP thread today for an example) and this board is becoming a one issue forum. (See the anti men threads today for example)
But it is so bad now, Coming to DU now is like having your Mom, your wife, you ex wife and your daughter telling you how to behave every minute.

At least a jury hid that one. I generally assume 2 votes to keep any form of misogyny

That last line, especially, is just astonishing to me... Dear God does this guy have a persecution

I've had him on ignore forever, but we can only hope that he'll keep his promise and leave.

Yes. Kudos to Skinner. Too little and maybe too late but, Finally ... Skinner is taking a stand.

I'm glad to see no one came to his rescue in that thread, but still he remains...

I love the history of a word and how words can change over time and morph into the exact opposite
