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

[Mc Mike]

414. Another excellent and interesting post, along with the Schroedinger's post.

Thanks. To you, C rom, (and physio for the update at the end of the link.)

"They (we) can rail against the hypocrisy of claiming to be anti-sexist whilst engaging in sex-based prejudicial behaviour, or we can recognize that if we want to be accommodating to women we have to make some adjustments to how we behave. It comes back to the central question: do we want women to be more comfortable? If not, then we should say so explicitly – “we don’t care about your comfort, toots! Nut up or shut up!” On the other hand, if we do care, then we can’t simply maintain the status quo of behaviour and berate women for being afraid of rape. That doesn’t solve any problems."

I'm afraid the dutchman is too busy sticking fingers in his ears and humming, when presented with ideas he disagrees with, to absorb or address any of your right on viewpoints. It's ironic that he does so while also being very busy making umpteen posts that demand you address his ideas. He's feeling very 'entitled'.
