jawtheshark's Journal: I'm a sexist!

Enjoy: Prissy women, taking all the fun out of established slashdot memes. They should stay in their kitchens where they belong instead of polluting male bastions like slashdot.

Political correctness can go screw itself.

Yes, I'm angry... Exactly what she wanted, I'm sure.

Saw the original, bit my tongue for 2 reasons ...

1 ... because I know you're not sexist, and ...

Yes, I'm angry... Exactly what she wanted, I'm sure.

2 ... it didn't take you long to figure that out. I have a simple rule - anyone who goes around saying that I shouldn't criticize RMS for eating his boogers like a 2-year-old because THEY also eat their boogers - and repeat it over and over - is an out-and-out idiot who needs to buy a keyboard with a working "delete" key.

I mean, if they're going to go around doing something like that, please don't documen

I like to make lewd (often over-the-top) jokes. If that's sexist, I am guilty as charged. I am a certified asshole and I stand up for it.

From what I gather in the conversation between her and Tom, she was actually raped or something like that. If that's the cause for her reaction, she needs some counseling.

PTSD is almost intractable. It makes your behaviour such that the people who COULD help you really don't want to be bothered, because you're not a nice person any more.

It's one thing to talk about it, another to live it. "Flashbacks" is not just a word - picture the worst thing that ever happened to you. Multiply by 10 or 100. Now, you actually ARE back where it happened, when it happened. And you might even know it's not real, but it's realer than real, to the point that you can't even breathe. It c

Jorg isn't sexist, he's a misanthrope. A self-loathing one at that. He hates everyone and everything.

Or is that me? Can't remember.

Re:

We both are... :-)

I hold to Emo Philips' view on the whole thing:

"I don't understand racism, sexism and prejudice when there plenty of reasons to hate people on an individual basis."

I did want to post to the end of the thread another quote: "I am only saying this because I care: there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing."

Re:

[jawtheshark]

Good quote... Never heard it... Thanks for bringing it up.

Re:

[jawtheshark]

Yup, I agree... After seeing the discussion you had with her, she either has real issues and probably needs counseling, or she's a troll. Given we're on slashdot, it could even be both. Oh, wait, that's probably slashdotist, right? ;-)

thanks for the reminder

[gmhowell]

Thanks for the reminder. I looked at that link yesterday (?) and had forgotten all about it after a troll or two. Nice to see that it kept boiling.

BTW, I think she likes you.

Or Tom.

Re:

[jawtheshark]

She's probably got some issue. I don't know why. Some people just don't have a sense of humour, I guess.

Loved your "Tits or GTFO" comment :-)

I think SnowGirl

[tqft]

is perhaps genuinely peeved for whatever reason. but I have also seen her practise her trolling.

Maybe you were a good button pushing exercise.

Re:

[jawtheshark]

Well, I never came across her and (oddly enough) I always give people the benefit of the doubt. I really must stop doing that... Always comes back and bites me.

Re:

[kesuki]

i too suffer from this.

Re:

[jawtheshark]

You'd think it's a quality, but in reality it's not... *sigh*

Re:

[jawtheshark]

I should read the signatures instead of mentally blending them out. Damnit, I didn't even notice until you told me.

You know what is even more odd? The original joke wasn't even for her. If you call yourself AnythingGirl or AnythingWoman on slashdot, I'll usually just take it as true.

wait... what?

Once we're in a real post-racist, and post-sexism world , we'll be too busy flying around on unicorns to care. Right there, and we're done. The only way we enter a post-racist, post-sexist world is when we've found some other, highly efficient, means of exclusion and bigotry. that being said, YES, your old joke meme is absolutely sexist. If that bothers you, stop saying it. If it doesn't bother you, accept it.

Re:

[jawtheshark]

It also will be a very humourless world.
