This Question Is For Women Only
| Mon, 10-13-2008 - 5:54pm |
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.

Well I grew up in the south so to me calling a woman honey or dear is not condescending. In fact I call people honey or dear all the time. Why would that be condescending?
If it was done is a mean way maybe it could be considered condescending, but as a regular thing, I don't think so.
No. I'm not talking about the candidates, although I'm sure we can find a few instances from the men at least.

I'm uncertain if you are familiar with my writings over time, but if you are, there is probably no need for me to state my view. Basically, I'll call out sexism no matter where it originates.
