I think you're being picky... hexola Aug 2018 #11

You mean edhopper Aug 2018 #12

HA! hexola Aug 2018 #13

After the explaination that your post is sexist, your response is the commenter is being picky? TeamPooka Aug 2018 #21

Um no - that was the commenter's suggestion hexola Aug 2018 #33

I agree with you phylny Ohiogal Aug 2018 #14

Yes - it is meant as an insult!!! hexola Aug 2018 #15

What is the insult though? Think about it. Caliman73 Aug 2018 #17

Parody is the keyword - you're analyzing it like Hanz & Franz is a drama hexola Aug 2018 #18

Hans and Franz were the parody. You are editorializing. Understand the difference TeamPooka Aug 2018 #22

Yes I am editorializing - with a known comedy/satire reference hexola Aug 2018 #36

Yes, but you used it in your OP as an insult to conservatives. Caliman73 Aug 2018 #24

You do realize FreeRepublic has an anti-gay agenda? hexola Aug 2018 #32

So when you call freepers "girlymen" you mean to demean them by comparing them to women, right? TeamPooka Aug 2018 #39

If I posted that at FR - I would be terminated. hexola Aug 2018 #40
