@velo_libre, I am always learning, and what I have learned today, is that the cross-section of (vocal) women on this forum, doesn't actually represent the mainstream females of this country. After all, they mostly don't singlespeed cycle, or go fixed.....but the women on here do. That said, my remark regarding Lil's (sic) testosterone-laced humour, was meant to imply, that she took the very male humour on here and handly it without qualm.
Most women outside this forum, that I know personally, find the word "cunt" to be extremely offensive. It was the one example I gave, only to have the Bendix rear her head, take aim, and "get" me as only the best sniper can.
That Bendix and LndGrl have no problem with that word/expression, says more about the differences in the female demographic on here, than in the general populace. Yes, I'm generalizing again. But here's something to think about then - would one consider tatoos on women on this forum the norm, or away from the norm? However, if we look at the general female public (yes, PUBLIC, little sniggering boys), we find that tattoos are only found in a small minority......though they are becoming more fashionable by the minute. Remember, I am talking about the UK female public, across a range of religions, ages, colours, etc. It still isn't mainstream, but I concede, that in highscool and university aged females, it may even be the norm. But this country has a wider age and creed range of females than that, and that was my point.
