I find it kinda funny that...

[Triple H]

the women of DU whine and complain at guys because they put up "so and so is hot" threads, yet they turn around and post "John Edwards is hot" threads.

Oh the hypocrisy. :eyes:

[AngryLizard]

1. But...John Edwards IS Hot

To not say so would be WRONG.

[Angelus]

2. I'm not going to touch this one.

But yeah, I agree with you 100%.

[kskold]

3. have you considered...

Maybe the women who object to the "so and so is hot" posts aren't the ones posting the "John Edwards is hot" posts?

No hypocrisy then - just different opinions.

5. Good point. Welcome to DU, Kristen

I've actually only seen one woman complain about us guys drooling over a woman. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think most of the women here mind that sort of thing. And I've seen plenty of women drooling over guys and I don't mind that. I think it's a part of human nature.

8. Excellent point.

My, how some people paint with such a broad brush, yet refuse to acknowledge the underlying issue. Or distinguish between appreciating an attractive person, and wanting to reduce him to nothing but his penis. It's tiresome but apparently the battle must go on.

4. I'm a woman, and I get sick of it too...

Some people just have to bitch and complain about something.

7. ditto,

I'm sick of the "sexist" label being applied to our guys. You wanna see real sexism, hang out on a repug board!

[Bunny]

10. Well, frankly, some of "our" guys are sexist.

Plain and simple. And if I wanted that, I WOULD go hang out a repug board. But I assume that a liberal board will be different.

And for the most part, it is. Most of "our" guys are decent people, who, even if they don't agree with us "whining" bitches, are at least able to keep it to themselves. They don't feel the need to pointlessly antagonize for no reason other than to amuse their inner four-year-old. Actually, I think that many of the more ludicrous ones must still be in their teens - it seems unlikely that a more mature man would feel the need to do this stupid shit.

I'm torn between ignoring them, which is what I did with my own children when they acted up, or keep on pointing out their ignorance. Sitting down and shutting up hasn't gotten us as far as we need to be yet, has it?

13. I think some threads should have a caveat posted:

INFANTS PLAYING

[Forkboy]

16. Yep,it's the same few posters who are DELIBERATELY being antagonistic

Now,I realize I'm not someone to complain about being antogonistic :) but I dont do so in a bigoted,sexist way.

I'd name names if it were allowed.Little boys desperately trying to be men....and failing.

6. I'm starting to think

That Jenna & Babs Jr. are going around with Shrub to counter the "John Edwards has a hot daughter" phenomonom.

12. Well personally

I'd like to think that anything I would have to say could be said no matter who the company is. There's nothing that I can think of that I would say just among a male group that I wouldn't say if there were females present. I try to treat everybody the same.

17. Mrs B...the WOMEN from the LAST millenium fought for and WON

the rights that are threatened by the women of THIS millenium who don't seem to have much appreciation in protecting what was won for them:

As we type, a woman's right to reproductive choice is threatened.
As we speak, women are making LESS than men for the same work based on antiquated notions of who is the family breadwinner.

As we speak, a judge who feels women should submit to their husbands was confirmed last week.

As we speak, there is STILL no equal rights amendment after 20 years.
As we speak, the POOREST people in the world and in America are statistically WOMEN.

As we speak, the RAPE SHIELD laws are being pecked away at.

Language matters....

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. Nobody is complaining that men think some women are hot

I don't know HOW many times that point needs to be driven home.

At least I am not complaining that you think women are hot...my complaint is for the disrespectful degrading comments that always tend to follow that sentiment.


I realize I am in the minority but I seem to be in the minority every time I ask people to THINK...

19. I'm locking this thread

as a continuation of the "Sex wars"
