In Reply to: The Term "Pouty Lips" is downright vicious? Wow! [nt] posted by Chris from Lafayette on April 7, 2017 at 15:12:51:
For some mysterious reason, people just don't really see how noxious their terminology/comments really are. I don't know how many times I've heard "I once had a black friend so I'm not racist" kind of bullshit.
Chris, I respect your knowledge of music and you contribute a lot to this forum, but the reality is, your language is sexist, derogatory, and demeaning towards women. You seem to think it is all in "fun," just boy talk. Well, Trump thinks "grab 'em by the pussy" is just fun boy talk. It's not.
If you have so little respect for women that "babe" and "pouty lips" are constant, *constant* ways of referring to them, you obviously just don't get it.
99.99% of the people on this forum are male. Most seem to think it is funny or cute that women are referred to as babes or even more derogatorily. But some of us do not subscribe to that kind of misogynistic world view.
I've said it before. I do not like this sort of demeaning sexism. And I'm sure you still just don't get it.
But hey, we're cool. You go ahead demeaning women and I'll just ignore those posts like TGR.
