And this is a great example of derailing a conversation by attacking the specific language used.
This tactic is used to great effect by SJW's. I only need look down the thread to see how much you caused.
Many a times, this type of harassment is mainly what women claim against men. But what exactly is harassment? Well, there's no real good definition. There's a point where any sane individual would agree... But I've also met people that simply asking to go on a date was "harassment". I've also seen cases of obvious sexual harassment (me, when I was sexually harassed by a manager, and then they were subsequently fired). And then I've also witnessed claims of it that one party blew out of proportion.
Except, because someone says " girls", you jump all over that and derail the underlying ideas of harassment and how to develop ideas of what it actually is, and not gut feelings.
- Jtsummers 10y agoNot sure I derailed anything. Tallied the comments. Mine and the responses to it are about 43 in total. But there are 353 (at the time of writing this) comments on this post. So 310 comments unrelated to my comment. I suspect, then, that no derailment actually occurred. Rather, a bunch of discussions are happening simultaneously, and language and its implications are one of those conversations. Also, I'm not a TLA, I'm a human benig.
- yarou 10y agoLet's be honest here, we both know what you were doing. I'm surprised the mods tolerate this type of virtue signaling and inflammatory behavior. You're clearly trying to bait the person you're responding to. And you're not even doing it correctly. Gendered pronouns in general shouldn't be used. Please use "Xir" or "Zhe" when referring to a group of individuals whose sex may be female, but whose gender identity is unknown.
- st3v3r 10y agoThe guy's entire post was dripping with disdain and contempt for women. Calling them girls was just an example. That is used out of disrespect. I guarantee you that guy would not use the term "boys" to refer to men.
