Rascal said:Ammy said:In answer to the OP, yes there is some shocking misogyny displayed on this board, on a regular basis. Some call it 'casual sexism'. Personally I think that's semantics. I know a large number of men who wouldn't even think of making a 'get back to the kitchen' comment because they simply don't make that connection.
But there is also banter. Someone being hilarious.
Our fun job is to separate the two. Pick someone up on misogyny and you will be faced with aggression - pick someone up on banter and you have No Sense Of Humour.
Then you have to decide if you can even be arsed making a fuss and report it.
I'm fairly sure the gay Blues amongst us must feel equally as conflicted when the 'gay' comments are thrown around.
Was thinking about this.
I may be wrong, but when we all meet for beers I dont or havent noticed any misogyny apart from maybe a group of friends just having a laugh.
I think the fact percentage wise the amount of girls who turn up at meets is huge compared to percentage wise how many post speaks volumes for BM and its inclusivity.
Plus you are all scary
Too true rascal all the ones that turn up are nothing but gentlemen and a good laugh. Never ever heard anything that made me feel uncomfortable I'm sure Ammy agrees?
