Not any more pintobean Dec 2013 #17

Only if a feminist says it. Iggo Dec 2013 #136

Technically it is Jamaal510 Dec 2013 #139

Was it necessary to start a new OP? 1000words Dec 2013 #2

yes. because someone got a comment hidden based on again wrong assumptions Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #4

Yeah and Rodney Dangerfield is a paragon xulamaude Dec 2013 #27

That and your generally crappy attitude toward the women at DU Matariki Dec 2013 #34

I have a great attitude toward many women on DU. Cha, sheshe2, sabrina1, and many others Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #133

You just have a crappy attitude. Tick tock. morningfog Jan 2014 #151

So what was your point? BainsBane Dec 2013 #59

so.. "gang tackle" and "gang beatdown" are common phrases you were doing a take off on? bettyellen Dec 2013 #64

I thought that was a ridiculous hide. Waiting For Everyman Dec 2013 #110

Doubling down, really? NuclearDem Dec 2013 #134

so that's 2 points of reference in the past 3 or 4 years Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #137

You mean your ever growing transparency page? NuclearDem Dec 2013 #138

Too fucking funny. You get banned (from yet another thread) and you start a new one. morningfog Jan 2014 #150

He was locked out of the other thread for joking about gang rape. LeftyMom Dec 2013 #5

that's not at all what I was doing, and leave it to you to assume the worst of me Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #6

telling someone they will be "gang-educated" boston bean Dec 2013 #21

I told you that was not my intention and even provided highly Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #38

I posted to you in that thread, long before it was ever hidden. boston bean Dec 2013 #41

It was hidden before I could respond. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #45

All times 'my time': 12:55 am - gang rape 'joke' complete with xulamaude Dec 2013 #55

Because we have seem your "meanings and intentions" before. Sheldon Cooper Dec 2013 #42

Links to back up your nebulous accusations Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #46

another multiple banned returner. nt Electric Monk Dec 2013 #48

You realize the OP you're defending is a "banned returner," right? cyberswede Dec 2013 #91

LOL, that is funny! boston bean Dec 2013 #108

He is horrible at hiding that. pintobean Dec 2013 #112

What? cyberswede Dec 2013 #113

I was just joking. pintobean Dec 2013 #119

I don't try to hide it. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #131

Because your excuse reeks of BS. Your pun references bettyellen Dec 2013 #83

Nope. Your knowledge base is too narrow if Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #92

And male privilege has nothing whatsoever xulamaude Dec 2013 #107

Knowledge base my pink ass. The jury knew, and bettyellen Dec 2013 #109

Oh FFS... cyberswede Dec 2013 #7

one does not have to agree with and swear to uphold everything in feminist orthodoxy Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #10

Feminist orthodoxy? And what, pray tell, is that? Scootaloo Dec 2013 #101

That's where you don't celebrate Christmas until Jan 7th Glassunion Dec 2013 #114

You would be the expert Caretha Dec 2013 #147

A VERY FEW women have made DU a hostile and unwelcoming site Pretzel_Warrior Jan 2014 #174

Dude, I've seen this kind of flame out. You won't be long. morningfog Jan 2014 #153

I agree that was over the line. Just because the OP was a little misguided doesn't mean nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #163

Whatever disagreements we have here... NoOneMan Jan 2014 #164

I don't think it's demanding too much of you to not make rape jokes NuclearDem Dec 2013 #143

didn't and you are quite aware of it Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #144

Yes you did. NuclearDem Dec 2013 #146

He's heading for a ban anyway. This is some entertaining flaming out. morningfog Jan 2014 #156

Spectacularly so. NuclearDem Jan 2014 #162

I think it was arguably ambiguous at the very least, given the context. nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #165

After making a gang rape "joke" that was hidden on LeftyMom's thread, you think this is myrna minx Dec 2013 #8

didn't do it. I have already explained that. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #9

I find your explanation disingenuous, but by all means, please proceed. myrna minx Dec 2013 #12

he says: "a pack of aggressive people looking for the slightest thing to get offended over" boston bean Dec 2013 #19

No, he posts on DU. RC Dec 2013 #122

heck ya! I noticed! LOL boston bean Dec 2013 #123

Maybe people wouldn't get so upset if others didn't try to tell them what they can and can't nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #166

I absolutely agree. RC Jan 2014 #168

Yeah, the bad mean feminists are the aggressors here. How dare they mention anything that makes nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #169

This is DU. Are we not on the same side here? RC Jan 2014 #171

I thought you were turning it around to blame somebody else, even though I never singled you nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #173

If you were dealing with a culture that devalues your gender and facilitates rape NuclearDem Jan 2014 #170

Who around here is denying the disparity problem exists? RC Jan 2014 #172

"pack of aggressive people" NoOneMan Dec 2013 #149

So basically because you don't like it = it's bad? Glassunion Dec 2013 #11

I stated pretty clearly what I found wrong with it. Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #13

So was there anything in the video you disagree with? Glassunion Dec 2013 #31

You think there is an enlightened discussion to be had with people who treat women like this? Ohio Joe Dec 2013 #14

so shame and humiliation are your prescription? Pretzel_Warrior Dec 2013 #15

oh noes... The poor oppressed men... Ohio Joe Dec 2013 #18

"Honey" (politeness etc.) only goes so far. Sometimes a person is such an egregious asshole nomorenomore08 Jan 2014 #167

It's the "tone" argument once again! boston bean Dec 2013 #16

This is a no win situation when people are intentionally mis-reading. LeftyMom just did it to me too Electric Monk Dec 2013 #20

You're using Scott Adams to make your point? cyberswede Dec 2013 #22

He must be saving Rush Limbaugh... demmiblue Dec 2013 #25

And I think the consensus was that Dilbert xulamaude Dec 2013 #23

"Dear"? Isn't that against some kind of rule too? xulamaude Dec 2013 #44

Noooooo ...... sexist terms like 'dear' are just fine. polly7 Dec 2013 #69

Do you keep a spreadsheet of every possible slight someone might have done to you on DU? boston bean Dec 2013 #70

Not at all! polly7 Dec 2013 #73

I remember things, but not specifics and can't even remember the people who did said it to me. boston bean Dec 2013 #76

Years? polly7 Dec 2013 #78

Yeah, but you did jump in to answer a question I asked of Monk... xulamaude Dec 2013 #88

Just trying to be helpful regarding the 'dear' question. polly7 Dec 2013 #94

Monk can't answer. pintobean Dec 2013 #96

"Monk can't answer"? How's that? nt xulamaude Dec 2013 #98

I was having no discussion with you. polly7 Dec 2013 #79

Well, I can remember enough to get by. I just don't waste much of my time boston bean Dec 2013 #80

Ahhh ......... well when I'm referred to with sexist terms polly7 Dec 2013 #81

Believe me, many sexist things have been said to me, over and over and over again. boston bean Dec 2013 #85

How can I make something that's not personal when it was 'me' being talked to polly7 Dec 2013 #87

I can remember somethings within a week, if my life hasn't been to hectic. boston bean Dec 2013 #95

Then why didn't 'you' straighten the poster above out polly7 Dec 2013 #126

Hang on, I'm not getting it. Please tell me which poster above we are discussing... boston bean Dec 2013 #127

This one. You should have told her it's nothing to get upset about! polly7 Dec 2013 #128

This is exactly what I said to you... boston bean Dec 2013 #129

No hypocrisy there. pintobean Dec 2013 #82

Are you in charge of when people are allowed to post? polly7 Dec 2013 #84

No, I was just making an observation. I thought that was clear. boston bean Dec 2013 #86

As was the poster you're dismissing as butting in, and whatever other polly7 Dec 2013 #90

All I did was answer him. boston bean Dec 2013 #97

these multiple postings of videos of guys telling other guys what they should think is just dumb loli phabay Dec 2013 #49

Someone giving an opinion does not amount to telling people what to think BainsBane Dec 2013 #51

and yet when someone gives an opinion that disagrees some feel the need to try to tell them loli phabay Dec 2013 #53

Giving opinions is what a discussion board is for. BainsBane Dec 2013 #57
