The latest "banning" (NYC_SKP) is an interesting lesson on REPUTATION.

389. No, people speak for themselves

and because you don't care to deal with the content of the speech, you accuse them of trying to speak for everyone. In Boston's Bean's case, she explicitly said "for me," which makes your ploy particularly weak. On her post about the c word universally regarded as the most offensive term to use against a woman, one doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out women don't like being called it. What you really mean to say is you don't want to hear from feminists who believe women deserve respect, just like you became angry when I said black voters themselves determine who best speaks to their interests.

Which misogynist attacks you happen to find worse is completely irrelevant. Now who is trying to speak for women? Why would you even presume that was your position to judge? One attacks a woman simply for being a woman, using the foulest and most offensive term in the English language to do so. The other attacks someone's behavior. Since you aren't a woman, you don't get to decide which forms of misogyny matter and which don't. Someone recently told me to "check my privilege." Too bad he doesn't take his own advice. In one full stroke, you denounce someone giving their opinion as trying to "speak for women," while having the nerve to substitute your own views when you aren't a woman at all. You did the same thing last week by announcing that being gay gave you special standing to address issues concerning black voters.


Now, the poster you insisted had no right to an opinion did not ban NYCSkp. EarlG did. I suggest you address your concerns to the administrators.
