And _this_ is pure tripe. Do you really think that my position is that I don't want women to feel safe? If that's what you're implying here I'm quite offended and suggest you retract it immediately. I've said nothing remotely of the sort.
Umm.... (looking desperately to change the direction of the conversation....) How about those Nazi userboxes?
What, are you saying I'm fat??
(note, not actually offended on this one :)
Despite the fact that you're joking, and despite the fact that I'm not personally offended, that is a sexist remark.
Ah, hell. It wasn't even intended to be; my local group of male friends here in real life use the "are you saying I'm fat?" mock-offense thing back and forth quite often between us. The joke was supposed to just be that it was a complete non-sequitur.
Guys don't like being called fat either, you know.
Okay, good. I've heard that line used to make fun of women's concerns before, so perhaps I was a little quick to respond...
