Maybe you could profile the kind of primate that would post some of the things in thread as well. I hope the depths of my sarcasm and sharply condescending tone came through... sometimes the written word sucks at conveying subtleties.
I am practicing restraint in not retorting in a more public thread. I don't want to come in and be "that girl." You know- the hardened feminist that can't take a joke. To be fair- that's really not me anyway. I don't have an agenda and the round girls are hot and a freaking fantastic idea... that being said...
Take the word "women" in this thread and swap it out with any other minority group and the "men" that posted this would be out of the group. Fact.
Women are the minority in this organization. The overall tone is that we are encouraged to join, but once inside... is that the case or not? If it's going to be a He-Man girl hater's club, cool- but don't jerk us around, and don't tell little girls busting their ass every week that there is room here for them.
My final thought- I find it hilarious that these guys are talking about women's self-defense because these are the guys that we need to be watching out for. So chivalrous that they are so clearly concerned about our wellbeing.
I'm really not looking to start shit. I don't want anyone in trouble or posts taken down... just watch the way of your words because they become your actions.
