    If something exists then someone will ***** about it.

    Joke time!

    A radical feminist is getting on a bus when, just in front of her, a man gets up from his seat.
    She thinks to herself, "Here's another man trying to keep up the customs of a patriarchal society by offering a poor, defenseless woman his seat," and she pushes him back onto the seat.
    A few minutes later, the man tries to get up again. She is insulted again and refuses to let him up.
    Finally, the man says,
    "Look, lady, you've got to let me get up. I'm two miles past my stop already."

    Some random guy came up to my friends and me a few days ago and started ******** at my friend for calling me asian when the 'correct' term is asian-american. I 'politely' told him that I don't give a damn and that he could **** off.

    You don't need references. It's all over the places. History, films, movies, novels,tv... have it all. It's dated back to thousand years ago and still exist till today. Men went to war, men slaughtered men, men beats up their wives... You name them. Of course, this is about majority, a few women have men's spirit in them too lol

    What i think the faceless nub is trying to say is men have always been associated with war and killing all throughout time and are so linked with the anger, violence and cruel happenings when war occurs. Whereas, females have been the one to raise the children and look after the men and doing the day to day running of things.

    However, he could just have a warped view on men b:surrender.

    So explain "Bloody" Mary and Cleopatra. Don't tell me that we are going to stereotype the whole male gender based on the past and not think of the women of the past that have done things just as devilish...

    Forgot to mention that a few men also have women's spirit in them. That is why they hide behind female's characteristics by playing clerics.

    And hey, never start to call someone you don't know "nub". That just makes you "nub." Well, that's why you sound nub.

    I think I left around page 13 or something, left a post around page 30, and then went to sleep. Next morning I woke up and couldn't find it. Was wondering what happened to it, until I found the new thread.

    I hate when people do that. I call many of my friends shortened versions of where they're from or their background. Shottish friends are scots, Japanese friends are ****. they don't care. my brother calls one of his mexican friends a ***** (nasty term [lol it's filtered]) but he don't care, so who's to tell us what to call or say with our friends?


    and on another note for the sexist pig who says all men are cruel and violent: GTFO

    Let me make myself clear. I'm usually very careful with my words, but sometimes it gets off hand, lol. I was referring to "association." "Association" needs not be 100% true as a matter of fact. It's usually based on what's commonly known or in the mind of people. I also used the the word "majority" to exclude the minority part. This is a matter of opinion, anyway. If you don't like it, you need not call someone "nub" or "pig," or whatsoever you can think of. That's not how you defend yourself. It's used as a last resort to start flaming and trolling. I've seen it and done it, and I've tried to quit but sometimes I just can't help lol

    Well, going back to where I begin, I've never thought girls would like to be associated with bosses, the evil beings because I myself, a man, don't want to be part of any evil being. But, it turns out I was wrong. b:chuckle

    As a matter of fact, there's nothing sexist about it. It's only a pixel.

    Seriously, even if you post on your main, there's no way to TRULY identify your gender. Male can play female chars and vice versa. Barb can only be male char, venos can only be female char, but it appears that most venos are played by men. Even if a veno tells you she's a girl, it's hard to believe until you hear her voice, lol. So what do we do with the unknown? Most peeps employs the ad hoc method - call them based on their chars.

    I'm not cruel and violent, and I'm male...

    ... Okay fine, my friends will tell you I'm cruel. But not violent. Agressive, hell yeah. Violent only in-game... and vs. mobs. Now yeah, I'm violent.

    BTW I never noticed Suzy being female. Zimo has the ****, Cenminator too... forgetting some mobs (the fairy-like mobs in FC and all). But the image is still following me ._.

    Everywhere I go, people are calling bosses he or him. What makes that boss male? Does the boss show male sex characteristics? no. So call the boss an it. And I see it here on the forums, when someone has a faceless avatar, people automatically assume the person is male and call them he or him. Guess what, not everyone is male! Females do exist! Take that into consideration and when you talk about someone who's gender is unspecified, say he or she, or them.

    Ugly male mobs are he, ugly female mobs are she.
