Help[Opinions] Re: Oh, and you're totally graceful and reserved, Lady.
in reply to a message by -=A=-
Your belief that a woman should remain "graceful and reserved" when she hears her gender insulted is sexist in and of itself. Women are just as capable of, and have every right to be outraged and to defend themselves as men do.
Why don't you list all the examples of your personal observations of single mothers giving their sons frilly, weak names and I'll counter with my observations that they don't. And in the end, nothing will be proved, because personal observations are not scientific data, as Chrisell pointed out. And while you're at it, why don't you get into a time machine and transport yourself back to the nineteenth century, where your sexist views will be much more common, and the women will be too "graceful and reserved" to argue with you?
