History of Feminism
In reply to the discussion: What happened to the proposal to include misogynist language in TOS?...I've asked about four times [View all]whathehell
(30,321 posts)I read them, and yes, I detect a distinct lack of enthusiam.
I don't think we should quit, though.
Sometimes asking for something over and over and over
will "wear down" the person being asked...Just sayin'.
I'm super tired right now, so I can't really think about other
alternatives, but what do you think about NOT just letting this go?..It's annoying
the shit out of me, especially when I see, for the first time, really, the flagrant
use of the crudest words possible being used with "in your face" attitude
to describe women's breasts. There's at least three "Tits" threads going on as we speak.
THIS is the response I received when I alerted on the first for "unnecesary use of crude term"
O to 6 to Let it stand...No explanations.

Use of an unnecessarily CRUDE term, especially from a male. As a woman, I find it offensive and disrespectful, especially since other terms are readily available.
