I know I said it but I didn't actually mean that!!! I meant something totally different than what I actually said!!!
The person who decries "attacks on women" continues to attack women.
That would be you, not me, ma'am. Remember my "several uses" of the B-word subthread? That conversation where you outright lied about me and then threw a fit because I brought up your verified-by-Skinner sock puppet? Sure, we can talk about attacks on women. Let's do.
Obviously if I edited it out, I thought better of it.
My money's on that having something to do with a possible hide, and getting locked out of the thread, rather than actual remorse, but whatever.
You did work hard to look through old edited out text.
No, I didn't. Muriel_volestrangler called you out for it downthread, and that convo shows up on a search.
I suggest you check the dictionary for the meaning of the word we.
Er, OK...

If I do a search of your posts will I be sure you have never used the words we or women before?
Will it look anything like your search of my posts for the word "bitch"?
Are you now claiming it does mean all women, but only if I used it, because it means something totally different for you?
But hey, I'm over 30 and a chubby chick, so I can't be a real feminist anyway. So says your heroes at FEMEN, so it's okay to attack feminists like me.
Well, that was juvenile. I'm 41, feminist and a chubby chick. Why do you feel you need to haul out the childish insults every time someone talks back to you? That sure sounds an awful lot like silencing.
The women on DU though--go for the jugular. We don't count.
Oddly enough I get along with quite a few of the women here. Just not a few rude, obnoxious and insulting women. Vaginas don't come with invisible "feminist" criticism shields.
What I do detest is discussions like this that become about nothing that personal squabbles. I can't imagine anything less important.
And yet there you are, every thread, spitting out post after post after post on personal squabbles while simultaneously complaining of being silenced. For an unimportant little topic you sure discuss it a lot. Maybe you should just not read those posts, as you keep advising every single person who gets offended by you?
Don't bother replying. I'll put you back on ignore.
Don't tell me what to do. I will speak as I see fit. That is not a privilege granted only to you.
Yeah, I'll reply, because ignore or not, I know you're going to read it.

Well, it's not "funny" and it really should be put on the list of banned words and phrases.

I really dislike it when people are falsely accused--and that's happening a lot in this thread. nt

The irony is thick: Your rights do not extend to telling me what I can be offended by.

Yes, they do--this is a discussion board, and disagreement is part of discussion.

There you go again, making up attitudes and ascribing them to others--your stock in trade.

I was one of the people who gave her some of that "feedback." I tried to be constructive, too.

Stop trying to play the victim. I pointed out your horrible behavior, and you don't like it.

If I am so boring, why are you hyper-posting and replying several times to a single post of mine?

In context? A woman was called a whore? A slut? A bitch? And it was allowed to stand?

Yes, and to suggest that it does is rather an odd stance--especially in this day and age. nt

In the example you cite, the term is used in isolation. No one is being labeled with the slur.

This is why context matters. The word in question wasn't used to insult anybody.
