I considered starting a thread titled "Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post to the 'Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here' thread - put them here", but there's too great a risk that it would turn into http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Droste.jpg

Is there actually anyone here who doesn't think this sounds like the worst idea in the history of forever?

(It doesn't matter which thread I didn't post this on. It goes equally well on all of them.)

I'd like know what exactly the problem is that would be solved by having gender-specific threads, but I'm not going to ask since I don't know what can blow up in your face around here anymore.

You know why you shouldn't use the word "rape" quite so casually?

It's not that you are going to cause some mysterious ineffable airborne "offense".

But because, if you are in a group of four or more people, given that the statistics are, that one in four women in their lives will or has been raped, the chances are, that one of those people is going to step back and think "wow, thank you for just totally trivialising this awful and horrible and possibly violent sexual assault that I went through, by comparing it to, like, a bad haircut or a strenuous workout. That makes me feel really great inside, and chances are actually quite good that talking about the event in such a casual manner, and dismissing my experiences in that way has a really good probability that I'm going to be blindsided into spending the rest of the afternoon in a really unpleasant and unhappy place, mentally, and bringing up a whole host of stuff I really didn't want to think about, or maybe I would have like to have been prepared to think about."

It's not that the trivial use of the word "rape" is somehow mysteriously *responsible* for more rapes occuring (though I would say it's linked to a rise in general misogyny or general backlash acceptance of misogyny - and actually this is linked both to incidence of rape, and how rape is reported and handled) it's that it makes some of us feel really seriously quite awful in a way that you can't really compare to a bad haircut or a strenuous test.

And maybe you should think about that, before you assert that your right to use language in whatever way you see fit regardless of however "offensively" other people you take it, is more important than the right for one in four women or whatever to feel, you know, comfortable in their own skins. Because your mileage may *considerably* vary and you might like to think before you speak and be, you know, just a generally better and more sensitive human being?

Maybe you guys are all wrong, and Young Money actually advanced hip hop lyricism by dropping the similes in exchange for word association.

I think that every time I read it. Either post it or don't but don't write it in some other thread where it won't be hard for ppl to put 2+2 together. BTW - this isn't in reference to any one post in particular but rather to the idea in general.

Whatever though - this is out of control and I can't take it anymore.

Luckily, she just happens to have overheard this. The point is taken, and she won't do this anymore.

Hey, I am sorry. I shouldn't have posted that here esp after complaining of just that thing a couple weeks ago. It was a dick move on my part and I'm probably just being ridiculous. This was one of those incidents where I posted without thinking it through first. It just seemed a little OTT to me but like I said, that could just be me. I apologize.

master of retardment (ENBB), Thursday, 23 September 2010 15:57 (fourteen years ago) link

But you're right, I should stop doing it. Someone (no, I'm not referring to any ILXor in particular here) could end up taking it the wrong way.

as it's Autechre season, time to bump the best Autechre thread

I hardly agree, since I'm hardly amused by the unabashed childishness of genital euphemisms, but Vas Deferens sounds like it could be an Autechre EP.
