The Word "Vagina"

<nods>

That's not it at all, and it's not even shocking (just after I said I wouldn't talk more about it). It's the resemblance to a poster - not men in general - that people are picking up.

Meantime, g'night all.

That isn't true.

The name of several male posters were thrown around... I think every male on this site who does not self-identify as a feminist was put on the suspect list.

Personally, I see no reason to not take the the poster at her word.

You have a point here. That thumb-down could have been anti-spendi.

But Beth, there are more than one way to be a woman, just like there's more than one way to be a man.

What this discussion is missing, IMHO, is an understanding that certain sub-cultures derive pleasure and a certain sense of rightfulness and radicality from being different from the norm.

Whitebars seems to fit a certain pattern that I have personnally encountered in real life: the (generally young and simplistic, sometimes "politically lesbian") feminist with a big axe to grind about men. Like my friend Nathalie evoked above. She was a super-nice person at heart -- an angel really -- but in her sub-culture it was expected to say things like "all men are inherently rapists", told with a sense of rightfullness and an anger not unlike a young leftist talking about the capitalists.

From what I know most of them end up married with kids, like most young leftist firebrands end up working for the dough. It's a phase.

In any case, I am not certain that Whitebars is a woman. My take is there is no solid reason to think otherwise, and no way to prove it one way or another, hence the discussion is futile. I could of course be wrong.

I'm not suggesting there's only one way to be a woman.

Nuff said.

Oliver gets an idea in his head and sticks with it. He can't admit to being wrong, and if Whitebars were genuine it would confirm his prejudices against women.

I could never be like Max, "Better dead than dull." (sad, moany whingy, mendacious and generally pathetic)

osso is correct--whitebars simply reminds a good number people of another poster (nononono likely aka Buttermilk). And that's been true in at least 4 different threads now.

And the people making that association to nononono seems to include you, Max. Regarding whitebars, you said this in another thread...

Okay, well, maybe you guys are right. I don't know nonono and his history of impersonation well, as I have him on ignore. Maybe it's him. What do I know?

its a good thing

I know izzythepush, I've served with izzythepush. Izzythepush is my friend. You "sir" (sir used lightly) are no izzythepush.

But you showed it anyways. Hammond B3jr?

Gotta admit your method of spamming is interesting. I've voted you up over it.

Its not about the word. Its about how some nitwits use the word.

Hi Bob

Hey, Glitter! Are we having fun on this thread, yet?

"Smur-bi-ya, my schmord, smur-bi-ya ....."

"On top of Smaghetti all covered in smauce ...."

Or they could play "Smuck - smuck - smoose".

Or make smores. Looses something in translation......

I need to think about that a little
