Blatant sexism

[bedlam]

http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=71368

Just a few pointers:

You cannot tell the size of a mans penis by his car, his driving, the size of his hand or feet, etc.

Sexism is wrong.

It is not wrong to point out sexism (even if it is not towards the "protected class")

If I can't say "She drives like a c*** because she is on the rag" then you can't say "He drives like a dick because his is sooooo small."




I am personally offended (that makes me the one who is right... right?) that this blatant sexism is not "sent to fratching".

Quick question, did you report the post and why did you say it was a hot debate topic?

well joking about prison rape is apparently fine as well(was reported)-My stepfather and several of my friends are in prison(yes writing bad checks will send you to prison, even though you have a tested IQ around 70)-so yup just think about that next time you think it's funny. My Mentally disabled stepfather who can't hold a job is in prison because no one ever taught him anything about writing checks, or money in general. I'm sure that's just guffaws galore.

A few things:

1. CS has over 1200 active members

and

2. Everyone is offended by something.

The best we can do is prohibit discussion about matters that offend at least half of the membership.

So if jokes about big cars/small dicks and prison rape aren't considered offensive by the majority of people, that's (arguably) a societal problem. CS.com isn't in the business of fixing society.

Here at Fratching, we're still not in the business of fixing societal problems, but we certainly welcome arguments that intend to enlighten and inform people. So have at it.

To be honest, this isn't the first thread on Fratching on people making fun of guys who like muscle cars, claiming they have small dicks.

Admit it, if a thread involved ripping on women for any of the same stuff you mentioned Boozy, the poster would be elbow deep in shit.

[Boozy]

Sure, I can admit that. But I'm not really taking a stance on the whole "reverse sexism" thing.

I'm just saying that most people, right or wrong, aren't offended by "big cars/small dicks" jokes. And from a moderating perspective, we're just keeping the peace. We don't have an agenda.

I understand it's not like you guys are playing favorites or anything. If no one complains, there's nothing to do.

I'd bet it's because it seems like most CSers are female thus of course aren't offended by them. And the men either don't notice it or just don't report it.

though I wonder how many of the active members are women?
And how many are of the "I don't want to rock the boat" mentality?
Crowds and peer pressure are amazing things.

and honestly saying "sexist jokes/statements against men are ok-but women are not" and "only some rape jokes are ok"(rape is rape, and it's never funny)-is kind of hypocritical.

how many posts/threads are there on "use the report button"? And still it's not used.....

plus from the rules of CS-

2. No Offensive or Controversial Content
Offensive and controversial content on this board includes derogatory comments directed at any particular race, religion, or sex;

seems to cover sexist remarks towards males-or does that need to be revised to say against women only?

13. Illegality
Customers Suck! does not condone illegal acts,

Under international law, prisoner rape is considered torture and therefore illegal

While joking about the things that make us anxious is sometimes a relief, humor can also trivialize and dehumanize. That is why Jay Leno will not tell racist jokes, why no movie studio will touch a script that makes fun of the Holocaust, and why child abuse is not treated facetiously even by the most outrageous radio talk-show host.

Welcome to the world of feminism, my friend.

Granted, not all self-proclaimed feminists are like this, but sadly, most of them are. Just take a look at this selection of feminist stickers from Evolvefish.

And look, the "Big Truck Small Dick" one is there, too. It's about halfway down the page in the far left column.

Pardon you KINDLY, OP, but that is MY thread you are poking at, and I believe I even put a slam against women in there, and I am female.

Everyone is offended by something, as Boozy already pointed out. If everyone kicked and whined and screamed, there'd be nothing allowed on CS.

Sometimes you just gotta calm yourself the hell down and wonder if it's worth getting that upset over.

Edit to add: Going back and reading it again, I see there was a moderator replying in my thread. Apparently, she saw nothing wrong with the content in there. Of course, mods do post at their own leisure, as they are allowed to post and have fun as well. I would imagine Kink would have said something if it were an issue.

Next time, use the report button.

Are you f-ing kidding me bro? It's liberal stamps, as in for people that are you know, liberal, not feminism.


Big Truck Small Dick sticker. A giant exhaust pipe gives the game away! All the ladies know that redneck guys who drive alone in those huuuge honkin' off-road machines do not have a lot of thrust down below. Thoughtful, green-minded truck guys who tread lightly always have more to offer! Drop your caveman neighbor a hint with this premium quality, hand made sticker. Dimensions: 11" x 3"

Is the description of said poster. It's for greenminded truck drivers who thead lightly must have more thrust.

interesting.....

So I agree, no one should be equating either manliness OR asshole behaviour to penis size. As a woman, I'd hate it if any personality defects or attributes were associated with breast size.

yup you said the exact opposite a few months ago......

Actually, the title of that section on the site is "Well Behaved Women." It's directed at a feminist mindset, even though the site overall is liberal.

And no matter how you cut it, the "Big Truck Small Dick" sticker is wrong. Yes, it's probably just a joke, but still, it's wrong. I wonder what they'd think if I made a stamp that said "Women Who Never Marry Are Closet Dykes."

I think this is what the OP was getting at, that these double standards are there.

You know, there is some validity to claiming that there are men who are making up for their insecurity (which has nothing to do with dick size, I know guys who are bigger than some porn stars who complain that they are obviously small and don't stack up, blah blah blah) on the roads. In Utah I see it all the time where someone will be toddling along comfortably at 65, I go to pass them (because I'm a dirty rotten speed demon) and all the sudden I see in the rearview mirror the guy I just passed get a dirty look on their face and floor their accelerator because they can't accept a fag in a compact passed them and they have to prove they are more of a man. That doesn't say anything though about their penis size, just that they're insecure jerks.

There is even more validity in using the expression "on the rag":

not just anecdotal.

Assholes are assholes reguardless of driving habits.
