I appreciate the language and tone Boo used wasn't the best for this forum, but if you look back there at what you quoted, you'll find at no point did he state that the only reason a woman might feel excluded is because she is sexist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

Anyways just being pedantic. It's a shame that there are women that feel alienated or excluded on WP. I was under the impression this board would at least act as a haven against it, and that the main perpetrators of the alienation stem from ever bitter singles from the mens camp and over zealous types from the women camp. I believe these two extreme subsets of users are toxic and breed toxic thinking for both genders.

I don't even care anymore. Guys, say what you like, do what you like. Be alone, hate women, curse the universe for making you male and autistic. I really don't care anymore. I am tired of this discussion.

I don't hate women and do not blame my autism.
It's unfortunate you feel the way you do and resort to those sorts of comments, but very well.

I don't "belong here" anyway. I was just curious, and will be heading back to the other boards.
Chin up, wilbur. I was only pointing out a flaw in the logic, not dismissing you entirely. Either way, sorry if my comments (somehow) offended you.

That wasn't directed at you specifically, it was directed at the guys who say those sorts of things. This thread is months old. I am tired of this discussion, and wish this thread would stay dead. Maybe the mods can lock it? I just don't want to have this conversation anymore, it's so tiresome.

Well, it's your thread after all. Just PM a mod I'm sure they'll take care of it for you soon.
All the best.

Kenobi, That's because you are a nice person and not sexist, and therefore you don't seek for false assumptions about most men's posts to get offended (unless they post something really offensive and sexist).

But sexist women of course are gonna project their sexism and will take everything in that perspective, for example if a man criticizes something they said in PPR or whatever, they would take it as "Mansplaining" (man patronizing to a woman) even if this man criticizes other men with the same tone - and this is something I have seen it a lot here.

Boo! Is that really you?

Honestly, I have to say that I have never had a problem with the guys here saying any sexist remarks. Maybe Grumpy Cat's picture totally turns them off (or scares the crap out of them)! :mrgreen:
If you want to know, I really don't look like that (until I have to get out of bed.)

I do have to say that I don't like how the younger guys talk about women - it's disrespectful (I usually stay away from their threads and posts) and like I've said before that kind of talk won't get you any dates.

Well, aren't you the smooth talker. :wink:

You might as well forget it - I'm too much for you to handle, bub. Just turn around and keep walking.

See, that's how you handle it, Miss W. You have to cool them off a bit and let them know who's really the boss and in charge. :mrgreen:

Indeed. That's why I do all of the hiring at work.

I'm intimidated by a cat who could pass the state nursing boards.

It is fortunate that he didn't have to take the tests before computers!

Do you only hire the women with the short skirts and big boobs, Fnord? C'mon, tell the truth and shame the devil. :mrgreen:

Grumpy Cat is a SHE Mr. K. Can't you tell she has PMS 24 hrs a day?

I hire on merit. I don't hire "skirts and boobs"; I hire people.

I'm just messing with you. You seem like you'd be a fair enough guy.

I'm not "fair". I'm a jerk. People who try to impress me with their "skirts and boobs" or "muscles and macho" quickly find out that if they lack the ability to do the work, they don't get the job.

I recall one woman who was all legs, curves, and cleavage in a tight outfit. She didn't know what to do when I walked in holding a white cane and wearing nearly-opaque safety glasses... :twisted:
