Not trying to attack you or anything.. But I would try telling this to the 90,000 or so women who get raped every year in the United States alone. (taking in to account that a VERY small amount are actually tallied and reported to the police due to shame, threats, etc.) I also thought Canada ranked very high on the reported rape per capita list. (don't pull the 'women can rape people too' thing.. I believe something over 95% of rapes are male initiated.)
Not to mention the millions more who have experienced some sort of physical assault from a man.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: people suck
men tend to be more aggressive than women, but the general population doesn't go around raping everybody, some people are fucked up and there's not much to be done about that.
but just to be safe yo need to hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband, b'cuz dey rapin errybudy out hurr
(link for those who didn't get the reference) hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband 'cause they rapin' e'rybody out here.

Woah don't spaz out, its all in good fun. if we wanted to offend you there are worse things we would say, as these things are not being said i think we can draw that we are not trying to offend you or make you feel unwelcome :)

Regardless of what you think people mean by it, when it offends someone, it offends them. Just like how a man can whistle at a girl walking down the street and how the girl can find it repulsive or offensive. Most people don't realize how many people feel unwelcome or harassed by their words. Most people are desensitized to an extent but we still feel hurt from a persons words especially when there ARE people with bitter resentment to the opposite sex and are doing it out of bitterness and resentment. Those people, MEAN those words in a harsh light. Some people, if they don't mean it, definitely make it seem like they do by how much they make those ridiculous comments.

How about this; If you didn't want to offend us, instead of trying to put US in the wrong, you just suck up your pride and apologize? Impact over intent. If you didn't mean to offend us, and yet obviously you did, then why not just man up and say "Sorry, didn't mean to be offensive, it won't happen again."? Why is that so difficult?
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way you're right.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs harder.

Not to be rude, but you should be the last person to be saying anything since you're a reoccurring offender of sexist remarks on my BANNED! thread. This is the internet. I can't hear your voice, or see your face when you have something to say, so I never know if you're joking. And to constantly bring it up in my forum game just makes you look more and more like an ass.

If it's a joke, you should make it clear that it is a joke by adding "JK" or "*Sarcasm*" after your comments. Otherwise, you're just looking like an asshole as big as Goate's.

Think twice before you post rude remarks on the forums.

Selkit

Rei, "*Facepalm*" is not an appropriate response when three people tell you your behavior's inappropriate. And for the record, I'll add a fourth to that motion. Remember me distinctly telling you to think about what you say before you say it? Pull your foot out of your mouth, stop digging deeper, and either apologize or go sit quietly in the corner.

zenia

Rei... you are a jerk. :C

On the other furry boards I frequent, we like to use :V as a sign of sarcasm. It works very well. Perhaps we should adopt it here? Though I still don't think that being sarcastic with sexist comments is ok.

Selkit

Rei, you've been called out for being a dick. The perception of the last few posts has been that your behavior is laced with dick moves. That's a fairly good sign you should probably stop.

Xen Garden

Oh but I did mention you in my last post. Like I said. This is the internet, I cannot see you or hear you and therefor can't tell if you're joking or not.

And since you're obviously familiar with the fact that these jokes are immature, why don't you be an adult and grow up. Also Facepalming is not an answer to an important discussion. How would you like it if you brought up an important topic and everyone facepalmed you? It would make you feel pretty shitty, now wouldn't it.?

And you're wrong, you are involved with the issue. You've already admitted that you've committed the crime, and now you have to do the time. Why can't you let go of your pride and admit to your sins and repent?

Just ask the mods to make these comments against forum rules, cuz i will no longer be keeping track of this thread.

That's fine by me. The last thing I want is for this thread to be locked up due to drama because someone isn't balls-y enough to apologize. I'm not trying to be a bitch, I am just saying things the way they are.

Also I think that it should be common-sense for what should and shouldn't be said on these forums. Lets show some peace, love, unity, and respect.

Absolutely. It shouldn't have to be against forum rules for you to know not to do something. I am glad I am not the only one that thinks Rei should grow up.

Common sense isn't really as common as one would hope.  Rules have been put in place for a long time because of people who lack these skills.

Having expections for other peoples common sense doesn't make any sense at all.  We were not all brought up in the same conditions.

If there is a poor comment to be posted.  You bet if the rules don't say not too.  it will be said.
