Is it just me... or
is the lounge increasingly becoming the auto mechanics offices of the 70s and 80s?

Sometimes it's really uncomfortable to be a woman around here.

but once you get a look at who is posting them... you begin to wonder who's here for fun fellowship w/ other liberals and who is here for the nearly nude photos.

3. It's more the language that I'm thinking of.
Earlier today I saw a woman called a whore, and lately there's all kinds of really vile language for women's bodies and parts.

4. Yeah, I don't like the word "whore" either
But I didn't feel like jumping in that thread and getting gang tackled. I don't do flame wars very good. :crazy:

5. I don't think you'd get tackled for calling it out here in the Lounge at least.

Hell, I found that one a bit offensive and I'm a guy.

*edit* Also, I use the word 'whore' a lot myself... but I use it as a gender-neutral thing. :) Usually when I'm driving and some idiot cuts me off...
