Well for a start here is what you said:

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "The woman's place is in the home", nor do I have any problem with having a boss who's female. The point is she would've known it would make me undesirable to other women; that's what made it so utterly heinous.


And that was a poor example to use anyway, you've said worse stuff. But I apologised realising my mistake, you obviously don't care.

Oh, I care alright, but if I try to set the record straight, everyone has already made up withe "minds" about me anyway! A lot of the time I probably haven't communicated clearly enough, especially since I've been venting out of a deep sense of hurt. Not that justifies some things I may have said (if I did in the first place).

Exhibit A.
Is there anyone who really objects when I say this type of behavior shouldn't be tolerated???



It's a personal attack he did there.



So attacking individual women = a no-no

but attacking ALL WOMEN = a-ok?

Calling a female a c**t is like calling a black person a n****r.

You deny that you have anything against black people, but the minute the word comes out we all know it's not true.

I used to get "Why don't you have a boyfriend?" "How can you not have a boyfriend?" before I got my first partner. Then people seemed to have stopped asking me it after I said I have one and then I had one. Instead I would get "why did you two break up?"


Same here. Now that I have a bf, they are like "when can we meet him?" Hey, I don't wanna scare him away. Back of Mom, gosh. D:

BS. In the part of the world where I live, "c**t" is used as an insult towards someone of either sex.

I understand the usage in the UK and elsewhere is different, but in the US the meaning is exactly as MiT commented: it is not to be used under any circumstance, please don't.

Offensive language is against the site rules. If I see anyone else using the "c" word or making personal attacks again there will be a ban waiting for the poster. This is a final warning.
