A freeper just referred to me as
"little lady" As in... "Watch out for her, she's a lawyer. That little lady will argue with you..."

Seriously? Little lady? Is that the freeper-correct term for an opinionated, progressive, educated feminist these days?


Ugh. What a jackass.

4. If the use of that phrase
is any indication of his level of intellect, it won't even be any fun to kick his ass.

14. You're probably right
The resonse would be..."Whoa! Simmer down Little Lady! A lady's much more purdy when she's a-wearin' a smile." ...or some such happy horse puckey...

2. And we were just discussing this!
Not so much "Little Lady", but the term "Lady", and whether or not it is sexist. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4551233

Ironic your post should come shortly after.

3. Very interesting
indeed! I'm usually ok with "lady," depending on the tone of voice. But "little lady" ... :wtf:

5. Freepers in general seem to be sexist pigs
Just last night they had a thread on FR defending strip clubs as a legitimate form of entertainment not only in general, but as "business lunches". :eyes: One poster even claimed that if they didn't go to them the end result would be "unfettered gayness" (obviously they have significant issues with their own sexuality).

40. James Dobson seems to think that
Daddy and son having a shower-time session of "whose wang is bigger" will prevent homosexuality.

Yet the freepers insist that seeing hoards on naked women is required to prevent homosexuality.

I am so darn confused. :crazy:

8. I asked him if he would like
a little condescention with his misogyny.

He'll be occupied with hunting down a dictionary and figuring out if that is an insult or not until tomorrow at least. ;)

13. And tomorrow he'll come back and ask you what moisture has
to do with Ms Ojenny. And so it goes. Just compliment him on his sox, if they match.

17. Little lady? It reeks of condescension.
I've had a couple of run ins with you over the years - I'd call you "fierce and friendly".

I hope you kicked his ass!

18. What hell kind of mysoginistic bullshit is that?
Edited on Sat Jan-07-06 03:25 PM by GOPisEvil
Why does everything have to come with a modifier?

People like that make me misanthropic. x(

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: freepers? In LA? Shocking. ;)

22. "Lady," I don't find offensive, but "little lady"
:mad:

I hit the roof. It's very demeaning.

Btw, is there a red state liberal version of your signature line photo? I absolutely love it. Maybe a purple version for those of us unfortunate enough to live amidst Bush voters.

28. Very demeaning
I call women "lady" all the time as a term of endearment.

But "little lady"? It reduces her to the status of a child. Ick!

30. Exactly.
There is a big difference. "lady" makes a woman feel like she is being respected very nicely, but "little lady" is so condescending.

32. Now don't you worry your pretty little head about that
It's not an insult - after all, how many gals have the brains to become a lawyer? Most of 'em are out shopping and spending their husbands' money - it was a compliment! :sarcasm:

36. My favorite...
More than ten years ago. I was working in radio and received a call from a man asking to speak to the DJ.

"That's me," I said.

"No, honey, the DJ on the air. Can I talk to him?"

"I am the DJ on the air." (Wasn't he LISTENING?)

"You are?" There was surprise in his voice.

"Yes. I am."

"Well, you gals just do everything these days, don't you?"

39. To answer your question...
...yeah, I'd say that has the proper level of misogynist condescension to be "worthy" of a right-winger.
