StihlMadd, the society of the USA and likely many European countries is hyper sensitive about anything that might hurt someone's feelings.
It's gotten ridiculous.
Names of occupations and everything is constantly changing just to make sure it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings or have a certain negativity attached to the name.
You can’t call the guys that come pick up your trash ; trash-men. They are “sanitary engineers”.
Business owners and top people of big companies are constantly being sued and losing their jobs over anything they said or did that was insensitive.
Finding something as racist, bigotorious or sexist is the “IN” thing to do right now. So, you are viewed as an outcast by putting up something like you did and the people that get pissed off at you are the heros and they know they will have crowd support.
Well, as always, I don’t go with the crowd, just because it’s the crowd. I will never be false. I will never not speak out when I don’t agree with something.
See my older sister here in this picture?
She grew up with 7 brothers. Farm, redneck type people (but not stupid redneck; as society now morphed redneck into). The Driver kids were kinda like the Dukes of Hazard.
If that boy in the picture, (a nephew) was whining and complaining, I guarantee she would say something like , “stop being a whiny little girl !” I’ve heard her say that plenty.
Why would she say that?
Hmmm. Because she doesn’t feel that it puts down women or girls. Because in general, especially in the past, men tend to be tougher and do not cry as much. Little girls tend to cry.
Oh NO! There I said it. But I guarantee that she, my wife and pretty much ALL the women I know would NOT have any problem of someone saying, “don’t be a whiny little girl” and most of those women I know WOULD say that.
I have a daughter and I have a son that is 5 years younger than my daughter.
My daughter is tough and is going to hold herself high and be an amazing strong woman. But hands down, the little boy is an entirely different creature.
In general, boys have more body mass and muscle, are tougher and don’t cry as much. I SAID IN GENERAL.
However, it is REALLY CHANGING. It is becoming closer to equal all the time because males these days are becoming bigger and bigger sissies.
Strong women don’t seem to have a problem with agreeing that most women have more mood swings, are not as strong and are not as tough as men.
I can’t wait to run this by my wife in the morning.
The modern world is turning Gay. Metrosexual, whatever.
And Royce, you ARE a super sensitive person. Don’t say you are not. You always have been.
In the old days of this forum, I used to tear just about everyone up. Fight plenty with just about everyone and especially call BS on liars and exaggerators. Especially if I was under extreme stress and it was Friday night and I was drinking a lot
.
I must have said something to you that hurt your feelings
, cause I noticed over the years you got a chip on your shoulder for me.
Same as a bunch of others that never let it go, like Brendov and TopHopper.
People that I fought with and forgave/ let the argument go and THEY like wise did the same; became my friends.
Because we mutually respected each other and have strong enough personalities to NOT be hurt or scared by it.
It seems to me, the people that scream racist,
bigot or sexist are usually the weak and pitiful.
And society is becoming weaker and more pitiful every day, thus, it’s the way to be.
I have no gain to write something like this; only to speak what I feel is the truth, which is what I have always done.
Going against the group or majority is not a smart thing to do. I hope that speaking your mind is still worth something.
At least everyone that knows me knows that I'm not going to follow the crowd or act like to politician.
Oh and there are reasons for Stereotypes; if anyone wants to start that thread next.
