really, you seem to go out of your way looking for sources of offense.
ratherberucking is at it again. And on drinkissdaisy's post no less. Last time it was chivalry and this time it's gendered language on talk shows.

Now, there are many people (feminists included) who don't take sexism in popular culture as their cause. The first few posters seem to fit in this, but at least they try to be polite.

And then ratherberucking comes up with this beauty:
really, you seem to go out of your way looking for sources of offense. Why not focus on all the real and glaring injustices in the world?

One branch of that wank is ended by these words of wisdom:
some people argue just for the sake of arguing.

Just in case she wasn't offensive enough, she tries to get a rise out of daisy:
then yell at the stay at home moms who watch these shows.

grrangela weighs in with this post:
It's pretty disappointing that every time someone posts to this community about an offensive television show/commercial or some other example of pop culture's contributions to sexism, 80% of the comments are "get over it." Analysis of sexism in pop culture is a completely valid use of a feminist discussion space, and use of the scroll bar is a completely effective way of avoiding it if you don't think it's worth your time. I notice that all the people commenting to say "why are you focused on this instead of [insert thing commenter thinks is more worthy]" are also focusing on this by using their time commenting.

This is just a baby wank compared to the original one with ratherberucking, but with someone so determined to accuse others of "taking offense", I'm confident that we'll be seeing more of this little wanker.

ETA: You guys wanted drinkissdaisy wank? She was more than happy to oblige while I was off having a life (if you can call being in class "a life").
It all starts with daisy's response to another person's post:
[ratherberucking] did that to me in my last post, i think she enjoys turning opinions into personal attacks.

I'm sure you can imagine how it goes from there, but if not follow the link and see for yourself.

ETA 2: Decided to remove the places where I used the word "troll" (I love that word too much for my own good and tend to use it over zealously - apologies to all). Also want to give a belated honourable mention wank to lifeisacabaret, who seems to be one of ratherberucking's most persistent wank buddies in this post.

ETA 3: So, enter yet another* thread that ratherberucking has managed to wank all over. No sign of drinkissdaisy yet, but one of RBR's minions friends, chrissie has joined RBR's team. On the opposite side, today's wank-buddy is pretzelsalt.

Here's the original thread:
What do y'all think of this? School papers have never ceased to amaze me with the decidedly unprofessional things they publish...

Some wank highlights:
RBR starts us off with this: he comes across as an arrogant choad, but I think some of the points are valid. Some women do go out looking like trash and (while this is certainly NOT an excuse or justification for violence) it saddens me to realize they think that's the only way they can get attention.

Lest no one take issue with RBR's not-very-inflammatory remark, Chrissie jumps in with, A WOMAN SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRESS HOWEVER SHE WANTS AND NOT BE JUDGED FOR IT.

After some bantering, Chrissie reveals her minionhood friendship with RBR: Please understand that my comments to ratherberucking are usually facetious as she and I are friends and have the same opinion on many topics like this.

But their banter has created enough interest for the frothy wank to begin:
pretzelsalt jumps into the fray: I would tell you what snap judgments I have made of you but they would be based on your content - not your "vapid twat" persona and I don't know if you play with that kind of depth.

The "'vapid twat' persona" comment, by the way, was an ill-thought out, poorly executed attempt to "call RBR on her shit":
I would agree in full - which is why I am calling you on YOUR shit. As far as insulting you - I called you what you call yourself in an icon. That was me looking at your appearance. Enjoy.

One of RBR's replies to that is as follows:
also, it's so cute when lj users try to "teach me a lesson"

nope. that doesn't smack of self righteous superiority complex at all :)

Chrissie decides to defend her friend, which devolves into a sarcastic back-patting thread including these gems:
RBR: Is it just me, or is the mindset that we can't acknowledge obvious physical differences actually MORE offensive because it implies that different is somehow "wrong"

Chrissie: I find it offensive. But clearly we're wrong since we have, you know, opinions and stuff.

Anyway, there are many more juicy triad-wanks between these guys but I'm too lazy to find them all.

* Three so far: the first one being from Mar 12, the second from the 15, and this one on the 17. I think I've ever seen so much wanking on one comm in less than a week.</a>
