Every single no vote is condescension at our few women here, a vote that their disgust is small potatoes compared to whatever lofty ideal they claim is more important.
Do we have that on record? Because the only one I remember weighing in was lapka, who said she didn’t care iirc. Somebody else said that previously Sky posted roughly the same opinion, but I have to admit I’m not sure if that was true or not.
would it blow your mind to find out that the word doesn’t offend me personally, but that I still want it banned because of the harm it does to the forum and other members?

Well it seems like most of the popular kids clique thinks anyone who votes no is immoral and uncaring. A deplorable.
So with that said put me down for the other side of this bet. Never was much for staying in a place I’m unwelcome.
No it wouldn’t. But I would remind you that the community voted on it and our side lost the vote. And it does bother me that wookie thinks all the woman on the site are disgusted and offended by its use, when 2 of the most prominent woman are on the record that it doesn’t offend them.
@nobody jman even said that he thinks most people voting no are doing so because they don’t understand the context, not because they are bad people.
why in the world is this post hidden?

Bunch of silly geese hold in higher regard their cultural deference to a particular group of letters than the feelings of some actual humans? Cool.

He can’t answer because he’s banned for misogyny, apparently. Plus wookie doesn’t owe us plebes any answers.

Do not apologize for their feelings.
If you notice that you say things like “I’m sorry you feel that way” or “I’m sorry if I hurt you” congratulations, you are the reason articles like this exist.
You’re not there to apologize for their feelings. You’re there to apologize for your own actions and words, and being thoughtful about how to express that is paramount in helping them to feel acknowledged, not belittled.
It would have been fine without the first sentence and the mods’ history with the poster seems to lead them to believe it was a deliberate trolling attempt, I guess.

I don’t see anything in that post that’s calling you a deplorable or immoral or whatever.
Certainly not worth quitting over, which I find crazy. This whole thing is bewildering to me. I’m amazed it’s even as close as it is.

You are certainly making me wonder. This place is clearly a lot worse than I hoped it would be.
You missed the other 500 word thread where they objected to being called a clique.
I think bitch is a way more in action oppressive phrase to women than ■■■■■
We should probably poll that as well if misogyny if the grounds.
I am going to stop if centrist is not added to the filter.

It’s basically impossible to believe the outrage is genuine given these are the same two opposing sides for the 15th different iteration.
The idea that the word would censored is mind blowing moronic. Either decide that using it is a ban worthy offense or no. What do black squares do?

If every single no vote is condescension for women here then people who vote no are not so nice as far as people go.
I mean I was probably out anyway. This place does not seem to be able to put things aside and break out of its cliques. This will all happen again. It’s not about the word.
Plus I’m sick of the do it my way or I quit ultimatums so I figure I’d take the other side of one.
