"sissy little girl"? You sure you don't mean "scared little boy"? Why use such antagonistic gender language?
- EvanKelly 13y agoIf you're going to make that point, it should probably be "scared little child".
- Cthulhu_ 13y agoIf we're going all the way, "little" may be offensive to people with a growth disorder, and "child" is age discrimination, the whole combination implying that only children can be small and scared. tl;dr, stop being so politically correct everyone, sheesh.
- eruditely 13y agoIt obviously wasn't intentional. Why do you speak with much violence?
- visakanv 13y agoI suppose the idea is that "sissy little girl" is intrinsically violent, and the best way to respond with violence is, of course, more violence
- derleth 13y agoBecause it's important for us to root out sexism where we find it, for the same reasons we pull up any obnoxious weed. The fact it wasn't intentional makes it all the more obnoxious.
- icecreampain 13y agoYes. Sexism is terrible and must be eridacated. I thank you for your hard work making the world a better place (for yourself), and suggest the following to make sexists even easier to root out: Make all sexists sew a yellow male-sign onto their clothing.
- Cthulhu_ 13y agoSexism... by replacing "girl" with "boy"? Equally sexist. By replacing "boy/girl" with "child"? Ageism. By replacing boy/girl/child with "person"? Humanism. Yes I can go on.
- derleth 13y ago> By replacing boy/girl/child with "person"? Humanism. Obviously idiotic.
- pjc50 13y ago"Violence"? (a) that's not verbal violence and (b) we're in the context of Quake, which is not exactly a nonviolent activity
- eruditely 13y agoIt obviously wasn't intentional. Why do you speak with much violence?
- Shinkei 13y agoI think he technically meant to say 'sissy little boy.' The word sissy is not necessarily 'antagonistic,' at least according to its accepted definition of "weak and fearful." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sissy http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sissy
