yes how horrible that you can't call women sloppy seconds or talk about how women shouldn't' be equals. shame on women for finding that offensive.

next are you going to tell us its bad to ban racists who call blacks the n world and say they should be slaves.

maybe we should allow a neo nazi to come here and preach about how all jews should be killed.

somethings are just not ok to say. wp is a private website, free speech really has not protection here. so they don't have to listen to your'e offensive comments especially if the majority of their users ie customers find it offensive.

though for the record for all the women who hate on guys like me, this is true sexism and treating women bad. not what we do. I hope you see that but doubt you will.

You know what I hate about PCness- Not being allowed to speak the truth and tell someone like it is due to the fact that it will hurt the other person's feelings to hear the truth. That is doing it without name calling, and simply pointing out facts that make people look like hypocrites.

I take PC as being politically correct? And which locked thread are we talking about?

I believe in free speech for everyone minus name calling and downgrading words such as "stupid", etc. Also saying that "all" are a certain way is not true either.


Okay, just so that you can see why people reacted the way they did, here's the locked thread that is being spoken about:

http://wrongplanet.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=290790

Also, I think that talking about locked threads is against the rules.

Well said.

[MODERATOR]

And, seeing as how discussing locked topics is against the rules, I'm locking this one also.

To the OP: if you don't want negative replies to your topics, then maybe you shouldn't post bullcrap about how women who aren't virgins are "sloppy seconds."

Sexist nonsense isn't welcome here.
