I think this is the point, that anyone can say something stupid and hurtful without meaning to. It's where the moderators are given power to warn, delete, and ban members if need be. That's the only real answer to this, that and asking people again to try and remain respectful at all times. |
Glass houses.
Honestly, if you think the objective or point was "don't be mean to girls" or being "offensive" is bad then you really weren't even investing in the point in the first place, nor showing any signs of even beginning to see the issue, so it's hard for me to address you with the same gravity you desire.
If your point is that people can say something without meaning to be mean, well, I'm not sure quoting me helps you, because I fully meant to be mean (specifically to misogynists and sexists, to be fair). When someone says "Well I paid for that woman, so I have the right to judge her" or looks at a random picture of an Asian woman and says "Probably hard to hear anything over the sound of cash registers" then yeah, maybe they didn't "mean" to be cruel, but they're being a lot worse than cruel.
Are you one of those people? Someone who thinks he has a level of ownership over a woman? That she is a product which he buys and sells at his leisure? If not, then I'm not sure what you found offensive about my comment, because it wasn't directed at you, nor did I purposely direct it at any one person, as to not fully "judge" said person based on online comments alone.
Misogyny and sexism isn't about being offensive or hurt feelings, it's a lot more grandiose than that.
