(9,610 posts)Sorry that it offends some people. No, not really.
Look, back in '04 when I was new here, I also posted language that was viewed as right wing. It is the language I had been exposed to in my past. I was hounded for it back then. Over time and reading many posts from people who had much more experience than I, I got to understand the reasons for jumping on people's use of language in political conversation. I am still learning by reading this board. Recently my teacher has been redqueen. Reading her posts has helped me to understand much more about how our patriarchal language and actions affect women. Do I agree with all of it, no. But, I am open to changing and introspection as to why I think how I do and how that could be changed to better the cause of all humans.
