Why not just call him a pansy fa***t then? Also a synonym that expresses the same sentiment. I wonder what kind of reaction that would get from people, and why?


I'm trying to work out what comes between the a and the t in fa***t? And why should I call him a pansy fa***t when I used a perfectly fine word that I like, to wit, pantywaist?

Effemination/sexist/homophobic insults (ie. sissy, pansy...etc) and the passive aggressive sous-entendu "doubting-masculinity" teasing such as "aren't you a man enough?"/"don't cry like a girl" ...etc - are so often used by women and girls at men/boys too; It is something almost every boy who displayed a "less than masculine" behavior had undergone this.

Here's another one "wimp."

Yes, they had "wimp" in the 1970s, too.

As in: You little wimp! You shouldn't have let that guy take your lunch money!"

Just checking in.
I see we're discussing how rough it is to be a man.
Whew, I'm glad there's finally a thread about that!

It was related to a word mentioned by Olivemom.

It's great to be a man. It's great to be a man with a great woman.

It's not so great to be beset by grumpy men or grumpy women.

Kraftie, what did you do? You've ruined all my peace efforts here, you didn't even mention "It's great to be a woman" and....

You are calling a leader who posted on this page as grumpy.

This is an act of....WAR! :lol:

Humans hate what they fear. Hatred of spiders = fear of spiders. Hatred of Muslims = fear of Muslims. Hatred of women = fear of women. The women here must be hella scary.

"Too many" as opposed to what? The perfect number of misogynists?

I think he's being facetious. Kraftie's always been a gentleman here.

Maybe as opposed to being balanced with the number of misandrists? :twisted:

I don't think misogyny is a problem here. Many WP members are so miserable that being misogynistic is the last thing on their mind.
