Wrong speech on this forum

[tiltbillings]

Come to think of it, if you could add mods to the ignore list this forum would be just about perfect.

It is good to see you feel we are doing a good job. We try and it is not always easy, but there is an easy answer to your mods problem: If the name is red or green, ignore it.

Actually i do think you all do a pretty good job considering what you ahve to deal with. No offense intended, just having a little fun

Absolutely no offense taken, and your kind words are appreciated.

Well: I admit my text had a double meaning. "A majority" was "a majority of the participants", i.e mainly male.

You are probably right, but had a man written the same thing he would be labeled and guilted as "sexist" ( defacto synonym for "bad person" ).

Hi everyone,
I find that what works for me is to reflect whether or not my post is coming from one of the Brahma-Viharas, and if it's not then I either rewrite it or I find it's not worth posting, unless I feel there's an important question to ask. While I am sometimes disappointed with some of the member's disregard for others feelings, I must say that this is a great forum overall, and I appreciate everyone's efforts to make it a friendly, compassionate, environment.
May you all be well, happy, and peaceful!
Jackson

Huh, typical.

Only a man would say that.


And that.

@Jhana4
Are you talking of what I wrote? Because i'm a man.

Yes. I don't think it makes any difference that you are a man and I don't have any hostility towards you. My post is an observation I have had over the years. Men who generalize about women get accused of sexism Women do not, especially if it is done under the guise of humor. Men who generalize about men somehow get the message that doing isn't sexist (ie bad) and "okay" if it is a negative generalization. I think, at least in the US, on an unconscious level, people believe masculinity is wrong.
