It isn't an insult. The insult was what he said to begin with.
Would it had been better if I said he needs to "have his mouth washed out with soap" like a 5 year old?
Seriously. To tell me he doesn't deserve a similar treatment to what he displayed to the female is naive. He needs to know that what he did is not excusable and wont be tolerated.
- jrajav 14y agoWe all understand that what he did was wrong. That doesn't mean you need to drag out more sexist tripe like what makes someone a "real man." It's just negative and passion-inducing without actually adding or helping anything.
- recursive 14y agoYou think testicle removal is a "similar treatment"? That's probably the root of the disagreement.
- jason_slack 14y agoagreed, that was overboard. I was trying to point out a point in a 'Reductio ad absurdum' manner.
- tiredofcareer 14y agoYour comment is completely empty of content and is just inflammatory. Yes, what we said was wrong. We all arrived at that conclusion on our own and don't need your vivid imagery to reinforce, thank you.
- jason_slack 14y agoit wasn't intended to be inflammatory. it was intended to display outrage with the situation and how someone can act like that, blatantly.
- tiredofcareer 14y ago> it wasn't intended to be inflammatory. Noted. Still was. You can't possibly imagine that calling for mutilating someone isn't inflammatory. Can you? (Your discussion of 'real men' aside, which is a fight I don't feel like having, much like OP!)
- eropple 14y agoYes, it is an insult, and you're not doing anyone any favors by dissembling. Regardless of your motivations, you decided to employ a gendered attack with a very long list of connotations--one of the more prevalent being that those who are not 'real men' are themselves exhibiting feminine qualities. His behavior is 100% unacceptable. Yours isn't, either. "An eye for an eye" doesn't help anyone be better, and education, not feel-good attacks, is the goal. You are perpetuating the problem. Stop.
- jason_slack 14y agook, I can see your point. Education is the real goal. When enough people are educated over time this type of stuff goes aways. Isn't perpetuation of the problem double edged? Those that make those comments dont accept education without having a reason to. Those that try and convey that reasoning, if they do it in a similar manner, are accused of perpetuation. So how does one make someone understand what they did without giving them a does of what it feels like? How do you educate better?
