"Shut your fucking mouth..."

[xmas74]

My daughter played her first flag football game yesterday. Everything was fine-both even w/ no score-at halftime. The three girls were doing fine,playing the best they could and not backing down.

One mother decided to start mouthing at halftime and said, loud enough for the girls to hear, "We haven't scored yet. That's what you get for letting girls play football."

I stared at her and she decided to go one further. She says to me "Shut your fucking mouth, you stupid dyke! Everyone hates a dyke pushing their kids in places they don't belong. Put her in a beauty pageant where she belongs!"

I was good. I just walked away and let her yell. Saddest part of all was that after halftime all three girls felt "too sick" to play anymore.

Why would a woman put down little girls? I can handle the tantrums-I'm an adult. (As you can tell, calling someone a derogatory term for lesbian is an insult to her, especially if you say it to a hetero woman.)

(And if any mods read this is it ok to cross post this in the feminism forum? I can get some comments from the Lounge right now but I'd love to know what some of the regular posters over there think of this too.)
