You don't have to threaten violence to express your dislike.<br /><br />Then you don't have to defend your dumbass statements by saying "but I'm --x--, so it's ok!"<br /><br />Also, irony is not equal to simply saying something you don't really mean. That's...sarcasm, at best.<br /><br />Grar.Zippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821858545952786165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-51473131860837231522009-06-25T10:49:35.065-05:002009-06-25T10:49:35.065-05:00IF they can't pass off woman-hating as "a...IF they can't pass off woman-hating as "a joke" it must be because women/feminists/progressives/other target don't have a sense of humor, right?<br /><br />Perhaps we can remind them that the proper response is, "I'm sorry I said that.

I really hope this young man reads this post.<br /><br />It really bothers me when people use progressive labels to excuse their refusal to stop their non-progressive practices (like harmful language) and call it irony. IMO, it's worse when it comes from someone who takes on progressive labels because you expect them to know better.<br /><br />Not that all progressives are perfect, but seriously? What he said was clearly intentional and not-thought out at best and malicious at the worst.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.com
