Straight WNBA star: Lesbian culture broke my spirit

Of course I could speak to you directly but I choose not to. Because you trash every thread you're on and you cannot respond to me without dropping the C-bomb or other insults.

Since you choose not to, it's proof of my claim about you, coward.

It's not an insult when it's true. It's called the truth and there is a difference.

Actually dude, I explained why I gave the percentages I did. It was based on the comments he's made on this board.

I could be wrong here but I think I see the big picture now. You've used the term NL before so maybe you are more sympathetic to the racial claims he makes and thus me calling him a poor as a result touches a nerve with you.

When you give objective percentages, that means you have objective proof to back it up. Since your claim was based on subjective opinion, it still lacks validity.

NL is a term? It's two letters. Why don't you tell me what you think it means.

It seems to me that if the interviewee came across as highly-qualified, the other people on the team plus HR would have hired her and told the two women to suck it up.

Were you there?

This is what others on the team said the reason was. She wasn't hired because the girls on our team said no. Now granted I didn't interview her but based on her resume she was much better qualified than more recent hires and the two guys on the team I talked to who did interview her said she was excellent. So if I was in management I would have hired her. Is that bad in your opinion?

You didn't strike me as the office gossip type.

You didn't strike me as the office gossip type.

No, i'm friends with the people i work with and have fun in the office but I try to keep my head down and work. I try to avoid all the b.s. every office has.

My comments are a reflection of what I've longed believed about women to men comparisons. Reading this thread had my head shaking.

For many, women have a 'place' and a role that they aren't supposed to step out of.

Women know that, and a great many reject that place and role in a variety of ways.

I know that story very well.

Look at someone like Malania Trump. She's a woman who has modeled like thousands of other women and yet now she's being called a whore by numerous men who would otherwise claim themselves to be progressive towards women. Is slut shaming, or body shaming, acceptable when it's viewed in the context of a bigger goal?

Because of her treatment by people who call themselves "pro-women" what hope do women have of gaining full acceptance?
