Actual worst trait of forum Democrats

20RP12 is currently a wannabe. We'll see where he is next week. Drj isn't a prude at all. He's one of the least[/i prudish posters. ]He doesn't treat women as children and he  often makes comments and start threads that are quite explicit.

(fixed a couple bad tags)

Well, yes, that is exactly my point.  Do you now see how nonsensical and inappropriate the "prude" label is, as it is used on Atlas?

Thanks for fixing my tags. Posting from my phone sucks. There is indeed a prude  brood. That dj is not on the team doesn't mean the team doesn't exist. A trans identity is not in any way a basis of membership on the team. Why would you think that it is? If you don't why would you pick him as an example?

Define "prude brood" then.  I'm now more than ever pretty confident the term is not being used in a consistent manner, to describe any sort of consistent behavior.  As far as I can tell it seems to mostly get thrown at people for the crime of talking about gender in a feminist and/or trans-positive manner-  basically, dudes who agree with drj.  

If there's actually something else going on, please explain to me in detail, as if I were an idiot.  

It has nothing to do with trans issues at all. Really isn't about feminism either except that most brooders would identify as such. The PB sees women, by definition, as passive, disinterested victims (as one would view a child) in all situations remotely sexual. In their minds, it is a sexual assault  to suggest to any woman that she is physically attractive and desirable, no matter how respectfully and tactfully said. Theu're actually quite insulting in suggesting a lack of female agency. There is also a religious slant to Nathan's PB doctrine, where sexual feelings are not just a crime against women, but also a crime against God.

I'm not putting words in anybody's mouth. Juat giving you the Cliff's Notes version of some lengthy and silly threads. Feel free to read them in their entirety if you prefer primary documentation, but don't accuse me of musrepresenting the facts until you have.

[memphis]

I guess it was wise of me to avoid all of those gender wars threads. The Cliff Notes version I am getting, is that there was more sound and fury than substance going on in them, with folks on both sides in a "gotcha" mood. Is that inference drawn by me errant?

You are quite errant, Torie. The gender threads have had some of the best content and disagreements in the Forum's history.

Mr train, I appreciate your reasonable tone, but if you have mistaken the definition of Prude Brood, and it appears that you have (nobody's perfect), thay does not injure the validity of the term when properly applied. Drj isn't a member. I thought that was quite clear by now.
Also, the only thing "social constructed" about gender is that there is such a thing apart from biology. Some of us are outies. Some of us are innies (well, not here on this forum, but in the world). Same as with a great many creatures. That's all there is to it. There's no need in complicating what nature has made abundantly simple.

The difference between gays and sexual identity is that being gay is, by definition, about feelings. If Bob says he's gay, I'll take him at his word.  I have no evidence to the contrary. If I did have evidence to the contrary, though I'm have trouble thinking of what that evidence might entail, I would doubt him. Similarly,  if Bob says he's a woman, even though he clearly has a penis, I will quibble with that because, as somebody who knows the difference, it is obvious that he is mistaken. If he says that he feels like a woman, I would also take him at his word as to his feelings, but that does not mean that he is, in fact, a woman. Anorexics report feeling very fat despite being very thin. Feelings can be deceptive.
I'm also beginning to wonder if 20RP12 is opposed to theft insurance because people shouldn't steal. I eagerly await the days he learns of an entire field known as risk management.
