This Question Is For Women Only

I’m just wondering where the majority of women on this board are regarding some pretty basic matters as it relates to being a woman.

If a man shares your point of view politically, is it OK for you, as a woman, to disregard condescending, disrespectful, or sexist attitudes and remarks made by him toward women? If so, please explain. I am very curious.

Are you looking for reasons to ignore McCain's sexist and misogynistic behaviour?

OH!!!

If the OP is looking for comments about a particular member / poster on this board. THAT is a big no-no. Big TOS violation.

Tsk, tsk...

Are you talking about a particular person? What kind of behavior do you regard as disrespectful, condescending, or sexist?

I have a girl friend who thinks a man opening a door for her is condescending, I find it charming. I have a friend who thinks complementing a woman on her appearance is sexist, again I find it flattering. So to answer your question I would need to know more about the behavior in question.

This is a general question.

Calling someone names based upon her appearance as a woman, for example. Making comments about body parts, for example.

And has one of our political candidates done this? Or are you just fishing?
