Man quits job over bad woo

[John V]

Have you ever considered changing your name to Dick? You'd wear it well.

Don't be ridiculous... he's too pretty for that. We can call him Cunt

You're still my favorite poster here. But from my point of view, calling a person with a dick and a Y chromosome a woman is pretty darn woo-ey. Actually, it's my understanding that woo more specifically refers to pseudoscience than just general BS, so that's actually more woo than religious beliefs.

Incorrect, as there is no original message to attack. TJ attacked the guy in the clip. I attacked TJ.

It was still uncalled for and a personal attack. TJ did absolutely nothing to justify your words.

Please, every third post by Minimalist fits that bill. You guys just have a double standard. You can do that if you like - it's your board and I'll abide by the rules. Is that how it goes - atheists get awards for personal attacks on theists, but theists aren't allowed to attack others?

I agree that the man is overboard on the 666 thing.

However, I find it ironic that it was posted by a guy who has difficulty getting a job because he likes to dress and act like a woman. Glass houses and all that.

Quitting your job because you're afraid of some fictional nonsense is in no way comparable to having trouble finding one because other people, who believe in that same fictional nonsense, find it necessary to discriminate against people who don't conform to their absurd and contradictory morals.

It's sketchy for as long as it one considers gender to be sex's equivalent... I mean: I'd never call tara (or myself) female. Womanhood's got more to do with tea, cake, and manners than it's got to do with the lovely fleshy bits between someone's legs.

I mean, it's kind of wacked to call someone whose body is 95% 'female-looking' a man Take your ideal lady, and stick a (very pretty) penis on her... and she's still got the rest of that smexy body

It's mostly due to street cred. If I were a new member, I suspect they'd kick me out

edit: I insult people regularly, and I'm not an atheist ^_^ Unfortunately, only award I've got a chance at winning is 'weirdest member'

...agree with my fictional nonsense.

There, fixed that for ya.

Morals are irrelevant here... it's their absurd and demonstrably terrible understanding of gender in this case

Their English skills could use some real work too

How many of his posts have you reported? Oh, wait, I know the answer to that: zero.

Minimalist is offensive and insulting. There's no rule against that. You made it personal. There is a rule against that.

Min is just as subject to the rules as anyone else around here.

I don't come on here much anymore, but I logged in just to say you're a fucking asshole who needs to serious re-evaluate his values and positions because they make you a terrible person.

Unless it was picked back up, we got into this in the AMA thread and you let it go. Face it, "tea, cake and manners" are considered womanly things because people who don't have dicks or a Y chromosome tend to be more interested in them than people with dicks. You can't define feminine/masculine and avoid circularity without ultimately referencing body parts.

Yes, I might get kicked out. Wouldn't be the first time.

You should win best member. Your insults are entertaining, which is more than I can say about most in here. Creative insulting is a dying art in this PC age.

Gender is a society-constructed concept. Gender and sex are not the same thing. Get your head out of your ignorant ass.

I'm not a baby.

Tell me what the difference is and I'll stay within the rules.
