69. Again, you have ignored everything I have said

I make no point about censorship in this thread. I expressed frustration with how I've been treated. Many of the examples I've given are juror comments. They aren't public to begin with.

Elsewhere in this thread you contend that denouncing racism is socially acceptable while confronting misogyny is not. So you evidently think some insults should be hidden, while insults against women are socially acceptable.

The entire reason for your presence in this thread is to tell me my feelings are illegitimate. You began by saying the goal should be to become a better bitch. Truthfully, it doesn't appear that you put enough thought in your words to warrant the time I've spent trying to decipher them . . . It s all pointless anyway, since you obviously don't read what I write.

There are those of us who are proud as hell of being a bitch. Count me as one. I can & will TAKE patrice Jan 2013 #30

If you consider yourself a bitch, that's your business. Did you see the examples in post 7? redqueen Jan 2013 #33

I'm saying people CAN take such posters down themselves. & I approve of all of that being out in patrice Jan 2013 #37

Being taken down is precisely when they use such language BainsBane Jan 2013 #54

That's why I don't think most of it should go to jury. What happens should be seen. Embarass bad patrice Jan 2013 #57

You haven't responded to anything I've said BainsBane Jan 2013 #66

You insulted me. & You said that the fact that you work for a university makes you better than I. patrice Jan 2013 #68

I didn't mean to imply that, but my point is that sanitized environments aren't good for people. patrice Jan 2013 #44

It's funny how we don't allow racists to be challenged to "learn" why using racist slurs is wrong. redqueen Jan 2013 #45

You know, because people have different ways of going about things that doesn't mean patrice Jan 2013 #47

Those examples are clear. redqueen Jan 2013 #48

I wonder if you could be more specific: "in-group use"? "taking it back"? I'm not sure what you are patrice Jan 2013 #50

Is there one and only one intolerance of misogyny? Does that intolerance have only certain patrice Jan 2013 #51

You've gone beyond that BainsBane Jan 2013 #56

I never told you not to be bothered about it. I said it is not good for the whole issue to HIDE it & patrice Jan 2013 #60

Again, you have ignored everything I have said BainsBane Jan 2013 #69

BTW, #47 was about what you called "tolerance for misogyny", not about racism. I think racism is so patrice Jan 2013 #49
