Viajero, I'm not sure what to make of your response just now. I take it as combative, if it was meant to be so... well, that's not cool. If I misunderstood your tone, that'd be super, but after having discussed this with my wife over the past couple days as this has transpired, I'll let you know flat out, I am not ashamed by my actions. There are a few here that have crossed a line.
If you choose to continue with your acceptance of sexual discrimination and the defense of it, I'm out. This is obviously not the community for me.
Apologies if if that came across too combative, not my intention I swear. Was just trying to make it more clear, failing miserably apparently!
I was trying to point out that what you may think as an end of the world gender discriminatory insult to a woman is not, for some of us, much worst to an equally abusing insult of any kind (gender related or not) to a "male" Freki. Sometimes "overprotection" of perceived minorities (positive discrimination) can produce the opposite effect of being in detriment of other groups, chief among which is the overcompensation in one direction when it comes to "equal rights". This is specially sensitive when it comes to decissions based on meritocracy. I.e. the usual debate about why should we force a woman ratio here or there when that man yonder there happens to be objectively better prepared to do the job? etc etc.
In other words, would you have come out equally strongly in defense of a male Freki if similarly abusing insults (gender related or not) had been issued? If the answer is yes then kudos to you and I ll bow out!
Im probably not making much sense either
, but those who have followed some of the legal battles in the US (also in Europe) about positive discrimination will probably have some more insight on what I am referring to.
In any event, it d be great to have a copy of those gender related abusive comments as I cant find them any more. I personally cant remember anything specially discriminatory (abusive yes, discriminatory I am not sure) but maybe I read them after censoship? Were they really deleted as pointed out above?
