sorry to chime in, but I feel I must. I would guess that during this
recent display of misogyny by many of the male members of this list, for
example the comment "gives the hens something to cluck about" which is
obviously degrading and invalidating of women's feelings, and in fact
implies that women are merely animals rather than human, many of the
women here are wondering why they ever subscribed and why they should
now stay. I would personally like to register my support for the
original poster who felt offended by RDJ's comments and all of the women
who find jokes about rape, molestation, sexual assault and violence
against women distasteful, offensive and in fact display true hatred of
women by the people who make them and laugh at them and then defend them
being made in the first place. Now, what would be helpful in determining
true responsibility for the offense would be to hear from an impartial
witness, exactly what was said, but based on the impression that she
got, I would venture that whatever RDJ said, it was out of line and he
should have bit his arrogant egotistical tongue. So what I would like to
ask, is that people on this list, especially the sexist offensive
pricks, keep your comments to the subject of music only, and then maybe
there will be some information presented in the list that will provide a
good reason for the women here to stick around. That comment about the
hens was really the same thing as the old racist jokes likening certain
minorities to monkeys etc...
------------------------------
i give an amen to that obviously. Certainly the original gossiping about
RD James sounded childish, but then when it gets extended to the point
of laughing about rape that sucks.
