Women only: Regarding the use of the term 'girls' to describe women.

374. You should go to the History of Feminist group if you want to get really sick.

I just came from there.

You know what I learned there?

That as a man, I am brought up in a "rape culture" in which I was being "taught" from a very young age by "the patriarchy" that I should "see all women as whores". Apparently, because I'm a man, what I really mean when I'm giving a woman a compliment about the way she looks, is that I want to "reduce her to her fuckability". As a man, I'm "a potential rapist" to all women. I can't see women as real people because I'm "conditioned" to see them as "objects". That doesn't only go for me, but for all men, everywhere. That isn't misandry, mind you, because "misandry is bullshit"; it doesn't exist. You, a woman, "have very little idea of how much men hate women". But that's because this isn't a progressive board, but a "BROgressive board", where "sexist/misogynist crap freely flies by on a regular basis".

Oh, and then they all laughed with their little clique that I apparently had been under investigation of MIR, "as he should be". And no, they didn't see the massive hypocrisy.

But really, I shouldn't whine about this. After all, I have had my self-confidence "handed to me on a silver platter" by "the patriarchy".
