(1,591 posts)Still trying to wrap my head around a thread I started being ....... "off topic" ....twice.
A few of my coworkers, that from time to time look over my shoulder as I try to engage in conversation here, .... were left speechless. No wagers were made as to what the outcome of calling out "pussy" as sexist would be, one of the few times there was 100% agreement. Of course it's sexist, .....what could be more degrading, demeaning and insulting than to call someone a set of female genitals ? right ? Wrong,... DU endorses the use of the word.
Nope, calling someone a "pussy" is just fine with DU, in fact I've seen it displayed hundreds of times in subsequent threads, over and over and over .............. all in good fun right ?
There were no juries, just a hall monitor shutting down my "off topic" questions. have to admit, I'm curious what reaction I would get if I asked the hall monitors to "quit pussy footing around, and shut down the sexist threads" ? My first thought is that "MerryBlooms" is a female, just guessing from the name, except I'm afraid I would be called a sexist, profiling, homophobe.
