64. It is absolutely disappointing to know that, no matter how many FUCKING TIMES

the sexist and misogynist language, on a "progressive" board, no less! is pointed out, it STILL keeps showinng up, and is even DEFENDED.

Thank you for your most enlightening post. It is important to know how verry little women's concerns are valued by some. Indeed, so little valued that some even claim that THEY are offended because the language is being called out. Sadly, this is not a new thing.
