In Reply to: RE: The Term "Pouty Lips" is downright vicious? Wow! [nt] posted by Chris from Lafayette on April 07, 2017 at 15:12:51
While some people today are overtly sensitive to anything of indifference,they would do better to realize that every successful entertainer at some point in their career pick up a few nick names along the way.Angelina Jolie was also famous for her pouty lips and they helped enhance her career.
I don't find the name pouty lips to be condescending at all.I actually find it to be very endearing,and the lady is very attractive.Unfortunately, political correctness has put our whole country on notice to the point where we can't say anything without being ridiculed.

. . . obviously, I agree with you when political correctness goes overboard. And I think it's spreading so much now that we're all going to have to spend more on "safe spaces" for our more sensitive folks here, so that they can be protected from my brand of vile and demeaning language! ;-)
In any case, I appreciate your comments!
You are generalizing a very specific application of bias compared to a universal problem. Use of nicknames is, indeed, endearing. Showing disrespect of an entire class of professional performers, and repeated dismissal of one in particular simply because of their sex, is not.
Yes, pouty lips is cute, but using it exclusively to demean someone is offensive. Not in a PC way, but in a human way.
You wanna be called needle dick all the time? How about when someone is discussing the way you perform your job?

I invite you to substantiate how I've been dismissive of or demeaning to Pouty Lips - in fact, if you had bothered to check, you'd see that I've consistently rated her performances and recordings very highly indeed (aside from the HIP influences in her playing of Bach). Where does this "repeated dismissal" assertion come from? Please feel free to elaborate as much as you want.
This has gone on long enough for most adults, and there's nothing to be gained by further arguing. You will never concede any fault and must always have the last word. You win. I am vanquished and will never attempt another rescue of a poor damsel, distressed or otherwise. You were right all along. I will solve the problem myself by never reading another one of your posts.
