Puerile sexist shite

i've not been here that long but i have noticed a tendency towards juvenility in threads. a fair few of those are nominally sexist but I don't think it's meant seriously, at least that's my impression.

however, aside from that fact a lot of it just isn't funny - i appreciate humour as much as the next person, but this isn't - i think it adds to the general impression of this community as housing a bunch of 14 year old boys. and no offence, but if this forum has suffered from a bunch of women leaving, colour me unsurprised.

i have no doubt the we can defend ourselves from sexism, but being serious for a moment, it gets bloody hard and dispiriting when you're in a minority and it's the same few women feeling obliged to post over and over again pointing it out. or you leave it, as i have been tempted to do on other forums and no one else steps in. it gives newbies the impression that it's ok and maybe they don't realise it's meant in jest because you guys all have the advantage of knowing each other, personally in some cases, you know how each other's humour works and what's acceptable and what's not on a personal level.

i can skip over silly remarks about women's attributes, sexist jokes which aren't meant seriously and all that but there is a lot of it and it is noticeable.

and fwiw, the word cunt is fine, imo.

Bless. I think its time for bed. Don't forget your teddy bear.
