3: I tell my dog Bitsy "If you weren't the neighboorhood bitch you wouldn't have so many puppies."

Shawnee, 9th ISN'T being misogynistic. I'm all for gender equality (and, personally, think of little distinction between the two, cept for equipment), but bitching ISN'T gender-specific, and I believe that he DID just pick two tasks at random. Logically, the non-person in the example is EITHER male or female, so why is it WRONG to say its female but NOT wrong to say its male?

Though he could have been totally un-gender-specific... but meh.

ugh, it's like a flashback to highschool. (you didn't go to McDowell High did you Shawnee?)

[xoxoxoBruce]

Of course it is, your attitude hasn't changed why should the responses?

Guess what the future holds?

You must be talking about yourself from what I've read.

Yes, the future, I can see his now.

And just how have I proven myself worthy of being attacked? My god, I see it now, I was ambiguous about gender in my negative statement which meant that I was insinuating that women do these things as much as men! *Gasp* I repent for my crimes!

Finally, he gets it! (Now, can you just let it go?)

:p

You are unreal, you know that? When did feminists let logic get left in the dirt?

[Shawnee123]

Nah, I'm pretty real.

Why do misogynists always lean on the term feminist?

[9th Engineer]

If you're going to say I hate women in general (that's what the term means) then you'd better back it up. What I say I apply to both genders, so because I hold men and women to the same set of standards I hate women?? Equality goes both ways.

Misogyny has nothing to do with what I'm saying, I've made that abundantly clear.

[Shawnee123]

Thanks for explaining to me what the term means. I had forgotten the old episodes of Wordsmith, and how to decipher a word by its latin roots...

Perhaps it's that I just don't like you. You've made nothing abundantly clear; you think that you have, but you have an underlying tone that just can't be ignored.

Maybe you just need to get laid.

[9th Engineer]

Ah yes, that must be the problem. It's like a Christian telling you that the only reason you disagree with him is that you've never let Jesus into your heart. I don't care one way or the other if you like me or not, but if you disagree with what I say then address it instead of making it personal.
I repeated the definition because it boggles my mind that you could infer that I actually hate women from what I've said. You'd be better off saying I hate both men AND women, you'd still be wrong, but it's a hell of a lot closer than saying I just hate women.

Dude, is it "PC" to say that? Oh wait, you said Christians, not Muslims

I stand by my assumption of the implications of your tone.

Why, when you never answer anything clearly unless it supports what you said? If you find an error in your judgment you let that point fall by the wayside. Here's where you and I started:

The ER does bad things to people, the doctors see people at their worst when they are under huge stresses, and as a result patients tend to lie, tell half-truths, and be extremely vauge. I've grown up hearing all the stories of this and now when I hear one I'm very skeptical of everything else you say. "My body decided it was fed up", is one of these, it gives no infomation but the patient will of course expect the doctor to know what in hell they're talking about. I'm not a doctor (I pray I'll never have to do clinical practice) so I'm not claiming this based on first person experience, but I grew up around it.

My father drove heavy construction equipment, but I'm not jumping on a giant steam shovel anytime soon.

Oh, and dismissing a woman's assertations of negative effects of hormonal based medication, something you know nothing about and never will, sounds to me like part of the intricate roots from where misogyny continues to grow.
