It was your post where you went on about the sexual degradation and all that other waffle re his use of the word bitch.
Worst pretentious hypocritical drivel I have ever read
To refresh you
Maybe the fact that you used a sexually-charged and misogynistic epithet in the title of your thread - which as well as being potentially offensive to women toward whom the word in question is most frequently directed, could also be seen as being offensive to anyone who has been subjected to sexual violence and/or enforced servitude against their free will - lead to the tone of the thread descending fairly quickly toward you needing to then follow up with a profanity-laced defensive tirade in an attempt at self-justification.
I mean, I get it... it’s a pop-culture reference, a word reappropriated by modern feminism and hip-hop... I get it. Far be it from me to tell you what to do or say, Andre, but as much as I will fiercly defend your right to freedom of speech here on this forum, unless you’re attempting reclaim the word on behalf of feminists, lesbians or victims of prison rape, perhaps the professional writer in you could be more self-selective of the words you choose to express yourself, especially given the heavily male-centric and male-dominated industry the high-end has historically been - and in the context of this forum, continues to be.
Sorry you see it that way, Rodney.
Perhaps you and Andre do not share the same worldview as I, and that’s fine. My worldview says the sensitivites of others are to be considered, even if they differ from mine, and especially, if they themselves have been marginalized because of choices not their own.
Perhaps the word “bitch” is something you consider acceptable to use toward women, victims of sexual violence or people in general, but the forum - the context in which this is being discussed - is pretty clear on what’s acceptable and what's not. Certainly, the people in my life who have been the recipients of sexual violence don’t consider discussing the ramifications of language as inconsequential, and certainly not as pretentious, hypocritical, nor “waffle”.
Again, can you please tell me why pointing out the language Andre employed as being potentially offensive to other members of the forum is hypocritical?
Thanks again,
