39. I never called you sexist.

So why would I provide evidence for something I never said?

What I jumped on you about in the other post was your posting a series of Meta threads and then telling people not to post meta threads. I then used a new paragraph to go on a rant about the overall hypocrisy I've witnessed in general over the past few days. It is a mistake for you to take that as personally directed toward you, as some sort of accusation that you used such words. I did not say that, nor did I mean it.


Anyone can be perceived as mediocre. Mentioning the fact Perry and Clinton are women does not negate that. I understand people here have disagreements with Clinton politically. That, however, is not the same as mediocrity. I can see of no conceivable definition of the word mediocre that includes Hillary Clinton. In some ways, her gender is at issue because she's risen to her place in life through a time period where women faced tremendous obstacles. That is all the more reason she is not mediocre.

I never said the mediocre comment was sexist. That is entirely a function of your imagination. You seem to think the fact I mentioned they are women implies an allegation of sexism. It does not.

This passage is the height of irony:

Now, if you'll pardon me ma'am, I'm done with this subthread. Life is too short to waste on someone who has proven determined to keep arguing and whom I'm reasonably certain will discard my apology (if I was wrong that you were calling out what you perceived as sexism re: the mediocre comment).

You entered this subthread by picking at my use of the word women. Now it turns out you did so because you thought the very mention of gender implied sexism. It does not, and I find it bizarre you should think so. If I want to call someone or something sexist, make no doubt about it, I will do so directly. Then you proceeded to accuse me of insulting you, something I did not do, and then insisted I was full of hatred. That is indeed an insult.

Now, both Katy Perry and Hillary Clinton are women. Should Hillary Clinton be elected President, she would be the first women to hold that office. That I make an observation about her gender does not mean I am accusing anyone of sexism. It simply is.

If you are to apologize for something, it should be calling me full of hatred and falsely accusing me of making insults toward you that I never did.
