It matters very much, because we keep having a few duers imply it was all the men's fault quinnox Feb 2014 #91
so if some asshole of any group does something that is offensive to a large number people, Kali Feb 2014 #100

Only because I'm sick and tired of seeing one person painted as polly7 Feb 2014 #254
You are very committed to taking things out of context R B Garr Feb 2014 #248

Now you're equating FEMEN with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit addition pictures? R B Garr Feb 2014 #280
No. polly7 Feb 2014 #281
No. You are taking things out of context deliberately to push your own agenda. R B Garr Feb 2014 #295

Context, polly. Get some. This is your little corner of Fox News/Benghazi R B Garr Feb 2014 #327
I did point out the context. polly7 Feb 2014 #330
The two are not equal, polly. You are very transparent. Have you even read this OP? R B Garr Feb 2014 #332
Oh, you're so right. They're definitely not equal. polly7 Feb 2014 #337
This is exactly how you wanted this to go. Now you're back to bashing posters R B Garr Feb 2014 #340

well then why don't we talk about how it was posted by a woman but almost constantly defended by men CreekDog Feb 2014 #227
And she was compared to a dog for posting it. Jetboy Feb 2014 #9

thank you, Baines. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2014 #34
Hey, rrneck Feb 2014 #35
It is wrong to compare a woman to a dog. How did the people in that thread not understand Jetboy Feb 2014 #39
So you did see the comment? BainsBane Feb 2014 #42
I read the entire thread and it was horrific the way she was treated. Jetboy Feb 2014 #45
you are very sadly mistaken if you think I have not been condemned for that comment. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2014 #57
The poster below is specifically not condemning it for whatever reason. n/t Jetboy Feb 2014 #69
good lord. never mind. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2014 #71
Why is it my responsibility to condemn it? BainsBane Feb 2014 #135
I was simply pointing that fact out. Jetboy Feb 2014 #141
In that case BainsBane Feb 2014 #163
I did not read the thread BainsBane Feb 2014 #62

Yeah, I pretty much thought it was just blowing smoke. No worries. polly7 Feb 2014 #293
thank you, pintobean. It was nice talking to you. I am sorry our subthread was derailed. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2014 #303
You can't just go around insulting other women here without expecting to get asked polly7 Feb 2014 #305
I wasn't insulting anyone. I have asked and answered and I am done here. You have a problem with me? Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2014 #309
Yes, you WERE. polly7 Feb 2014 #311
There was a long thread about it last week. pintobean Feb 2014 #314

You are warned that you can't discuss it in the Mens Group boston bean Feb 2014 #191
You're asked not to discuss it in that actual thread, because that's not what the thread is for. Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #236

In the OP for the 3rd thread, yes, I made a -request- that it not be derailed. Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #319
Yep, and you derailed my point beyond, with a bunch of BS accusations. boston bean Feb 2014 #325
Where, specifically, did I make any accusation about anything? Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #331
accusing me of making a patently false accusation: boston bean Feb 2014 #334
You're having a conversation with someone else, not me, I think. Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #336
yeah, why did you have to make that declaration. boston bean Feb 2014 #347
Is this really how you enjoy spending your time on this planet? Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #349
No, it's really not how I enjoy spending time on this planet, you? boston bean Feb 2014 #354

Polly I am sorry if you took it ad an order but she did not say socs don't exist. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #392

She never said they don't exist. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #406
Ignore and ignorance are close cousins. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2014 #409
I don't read it that way. Thefact is lots of people are members of this site don't post or post hrmjustin Feb 2014 #412
It looks like you're doing HOF's dirty work. pintobean Feb 2014 #421
For your information I told her to do the same thing. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #423
