  • Tbh I’m not in that habit either, I had wrote “he” but after I posted I caught the :3 in her uname, so I checked and came back and corrected it. Also, I had a feeling from the writing style she may have been ESL which I was going to mention too if so, but yeah both those reasons are why I checked this time.

    As to the rest of it, she’s already corrected you that she did not edit the “females” out so I don’t have to mention it. Instead I’ll mention that A) You had no knowledge of her will to speak better before you were rude to her about her word choice, so you can’t claim you were “just trying to help bro” or anything like that, B) if you were trying to “help her speak better” being a dick about it isn’t the best way to go. Hell even if you’re trying to police a woman on how she speaks about women because you think how she does it is immoral, being nice is a much more effective strategy, “catch more flies with honey” as it were (but for fruit flies use vinegar.)



  • Yet tbf, people usually say that’s a problem when it’s used alone as in “females and men” because “nobody says ‘males,’” but here she says “females and males.”

    Personally, if I write a post like this I’d write “women and males” even though it’s clunky and awkward, just so the sanctimonious crowd doesn’t have shit to say, but she did the thing that people say is fine to do and yet still gets accused of being a ferengi. I know it’s exciting to feel like you’re better than someone and jump to correcting their behavior but it’s possible we’re jumping the shark here.

    Edit: btw, as per OP’s post history, she’s a “23yo female with a 76 IQ.” Lay off man, jeez!


  • Lol well tbf that was exactly Sunzu2’s original point, me questioning Steve on why he calls Bob a fascist isn’t a tenet of fascism, which is why when Steve asserts that since I didn’t automatically believe him I must too be a fascist working with Bob, it devalues the word. Now I’m wondering if Steve first accused Bob because Steve had also previously accused Jane of being a fascist and Bob did the same thing I just did in questioning Steve’s intel, and Steve is assuredly about to tell Paul that I’m a fascist as well since Steve’s really just an ill-informed gossip like Old Mother Rose in the first church pew.

    Now, if Bob said “I think we should kill X ethnic group,” that’d be valuable information to include in your initial accusation of Bob as evidence to support that he’s a fascist, if I then upon receiving that evidence say “well that’s not so bad,” then Steve could accuse me of being one too, but simply asking for that evidence a fascist does not make.
