[RD] Diversity of Safe Spaces

[Lexicus]

If I want to call a trans person their born pronoun, I have that right and screwing with me about it is infringing on my rights.

Perhaps one day you will learn that having the right to be an ******* doesn't mean it's a good idea to be an *******.

I call grown men "young ladies" when they irk me and I have for years.

Classy, way to put your sexism on display for everyone to see.

**Yawn** Go back to your safe space.

And wear your dress while you're at it.

You want a pink piggy hat? I'll get you one if you'll wear it.

Edgy enough to warrant a fedora.

In this example you are literally screwing with another person by going up to them and calling them what they say they aren't. Apparently screwing with someone is an infringement on rights! TIL. I conclude you are saying that you have rights and they do not. Did you mean something else?

 

[AppleDumplingHead]

Apparently screwing with someone is an infringement on rights!

No. They can say what they want, I can say what I want. Telling me I can't say no, shaming or threatening me for what I say, is civil right intimidation.

My disagreement with what they say is simply a disagreement. I don't shame or intimidate them, I say f-u and walk away. If my disagreement causes shame, maybe they need to reexamine their position.

Look at it this way. Person A says to person B, I am (this religion) and you're going to hell if you keep doing what you're doing. Person B says "you're an autistic nincompoop, forget your stupid religion". Everything's all fine and good until person A collects buddies and has person B publicly ostracized and shamed out of town, or uses trumped up charges to get the (religion) leaning sheriff to have person B punished. That has happened a lot in the bible belt of America and it's shameful behavior. It's exactly the same if we replace any societal concept, the outcome is the same.

It's not an error if I walk up to a person, clearly a man, and call him a lady. It might be grounds for the guy using expletives or wanting to punch me, but there's no written or understood obligation to call anyone anything or accept anything. If I want to call a trans person their born pronoun, I have that right and screwing with me about it is infringing on my rights.

It must be quite stressful, knowing that every social issue is actually about you.

Are you asking for special protections for confrontational jerks?

Telling me what I have to say makes that person the confrontational jerk. I'll rebel and we can sort it out when the dust clears.

Try to sue or get me in legal trouble for it, I'll have the aclu so far up your ass, you could do auditions to be a muppet on sesame street.

Etiquette is not a conspiracy against the individual. I'd wonder if you were raised by wolves, but pack-animals tend to grasp this sort of thing instinctively.

Blah, blah, blah. Shame game blah. Blah because I say so blah. Polite society blah blah conform.

Chances are I won't be a jerk, I don't go looking to be a jerk, but when I am a jerk, I reserve the right to be a jerk.

I wonder if "some" people even go outside. The world is brutal.

 

[Lexicus]

The world is brutal.

Sure is, and the sad thing is there are people like you out there making it more brutal

You bet, knocking out the kickers of the control game one douche at a time.

That's all it is, an effort to control thoughts and words of others.

Yeah, polite society. That things that stops us from cracking each other's heads open and feasting on the goo inside?

Not that I'd be overly surprised, mind, if that turned out to be precisely the root of your objection. People who say things like "I reserve the right to be a jerk" tend to be the sort of people who view The Purge as utopian fiction.

Better men have tried.

Oh, look. Non-RD behavior in an RD thread. How nice. [/major sarcasm]

I actually have a pink toque. It doesn't have the ears knitted in, but that's basically all these hats are - pink toques. And you evidently haven't been paying attention as to what animal the pink toques represent. Try the feline family.

There aren't as many women on this forum as there are men, but how about making some small attempt at manners, 'k? You're strutting and swaggering around here, acting as though being a woman is something shameful.

 

[AppleDumplingHead]

No, they're piggy hats on little piggies.

Plenty of women I know will tell you the same thing. You don't own femininity.

But you apparently do, seeing as you reserve to yourself the right to decide who does and does not qualify as female.

Always disappointed to see a fake free speech advocate who actually just wants freedom from criticism for his speech, prioritising his speech over that of others.

 

[AppleDumplingHead]

The only "point that was proven" was mine. Saying I'm "sexist" is reaching, because I didn't say anything about "all women", it's "those people", and I responded to people who were trolling me, in kind.

Have fun with your flavor-aid. I'm banning this forum from my participation for an extended period. Enjoy your echo chamber.

Hope Bootstoots gets a cyber bj or something out of it for his loss of dignity.
