Damn it, why do I always miss the good stuff?Fuck you, SlyPokerDog!
My guess is that the reason is because women interact with children more often than men do.
Sly, you can edit the fuck you part without deleting my entire post. WHY ARE YOU CENSORING FACTS!?!?!? Sexist female entirely ignores the fact that Boko Haram killed boys, so to make a sexist assertion. I point this out and I get censored?
Am I the supposed "sexist female"?
Am I the supposed "sexist female"? I was not listing all the crimes of Boko Haram. Just one well known case in Nigeria as I am sure everyone else realized.
I wonder if a certain poster ever used the word sexist to describe any male?
Sounds like an attempt to deflect attention by making this about " sexist females " rather than homophobic males.
Sly, women can't be sexist?
Stumbled upon this collection of old player tweets from Reddit. This wouldn't be post material but there is some STRAIGHT UP borderline homophobic stuff said by Aminu. Someone probably told him at some point you can't be saying this stuff as a public figure but it makes you wonder if he's over it, especially now living in one of the most progressive cities in America. A lot of players said some really bad stuff but Aminus was by far the worst.
I see you throwing personal insults around in two different threads and my only thought is to try and end it quickly before things turn ugly. You're a smart guy, I'm positive that you can address what Crandc said without insulting her. (Which you just did again, BTW.)
I'm sorry that you feel I am censoring you but please stop with the insults and name calling.
Sure, anyone can be sexist.
But you're not meaning it as a compliment and you're saying that certain members are so I'm treating that like an insult.
If you want to have a conversation about how both boys and girls were treated horribly by Boko Harem I have no problem with that and personally I think it's important to point out. What we don't need is you saying anyone besides me is full of shit around here or is a bigot or some of the other things you've posted.
Why do you keep censoring my posts that are calling out Crandc's sexism? You are completely distorting the reality of this thread.
Delete her fucking post tben because I can point out multiple sexist comments.

Fuck off SLY.
I haven't been editing your posts because of sexism, I've been editing/deleting your posts because of personal insults.
He's muslim right? Muslims are pretty intolerant of homosexuals.
They stone them to death on a daily basis, but let's defend their "religion" and instead persecute some kids for some silly tweets that probably weren't even made by them.
That is not only batshit crazy, it's also cowardly as hell. BTW, You guys do know anyone can set up a bogus Twitter account or hack into it?
If you want to stop ignorance and intolerance you need to put all organized religions out of business.
Every last one of them.
You've been deleting me entire posts rather than snipping one word. It's okay. I'll chalk this up as a bad day for you. You are my favorite mod I've ever encountered, so I will continue having mad respect for you. I just don't need to post here anymore.
Sure, this is just boys will be boys. Nothing to see.
Right?
Every gay man was once a gay boy and grew up hearing this shit daily. Sometimes (straight) male bonding went beyond words. Hard to find a gay man who did not get the shit beat out of him growing up. And that's in this country. Not Nigeria. (For young lesbians male bonding was the threat, sometimes the reality, of "corrective rape".)
Cultural differences affect taste in food, music, what holidays one keeps. Homophobia, sadly, is global.
Nigeria does not currently have the death penalty for homosexuality although it is a crime punishable by imprisonment to be gay and there is no lack of extrajudicial murder. US evangelical Christians have for some years been connecting with evangelicals in Africa, Uganda primarily but also Nigeria, to pass the "kill the gays" bills. (And someone thinks Muslims are the problem? I could wish this kind of hate was just the product of one religion.) So far they have not passed due to international pressure. I know some supporters of killing gays have hoped that a new US President who would not put pressure on these countries to reject such law, may enable passing kill the gays bills.
All in the name of protecting children, of course. We know what a good job the government of Nigeria has done protecting their schoolgirls. It was not lesbians or transwomen who abducted those girls. The government can't do shit for them but it can try to kill gays.
Candidate Ted Cruz has among his leading advisers ministers who advocate kill the gays and Senator Cruz has spoken at rallies with them, rallies at which they have called for death penalty for homosexuality. Currently, Senator Cruz has pivoted more towards whipping up lynch mobs against transgender women, who already suffer very high rates of assault and murder. Apparently women transition for the sole purpose of raping little girls in public restrooms (although there are zero such incidents), just as gay men supposedly joined the military for the sole purpose of staring at straight soldiers in the shower.
Billy Bean (the gay ballplayer, not straight A's GM, talked about being a closeted athlete. His partner only saw him play once. He told his partner not to speak to anyone in the family section, but his partner, a friendly guy, chatted with another players' parents. Afterwards, the other player, quite innocently, told Bean "my folks really liked your friend". Bean was so terrified someone would figure out this was more than a friend that he told his boyfriend to never come to another game. On his birthday, his boyfriend, a professional chef, prepared a special dinner for him. They were just sitting down to eat together when several teammates came to his door, with cases of beer, to celebrate Bean's birthday. He hustled his boyfriend out the back, hid all the food in cabinets, and let them in. In baseball there is an unwritten law not to go home until all the beer is drunk. They hung around for hours, while the boyfriend hid on the back porch, the dinner he had worked so hard to make special ruined. When his boyfriend died, Bean did not go to the funeral, did not tell anyone a friend had died, because he was so terrified someone might learn he was more than a friend.
There are gay players in the NBA. By law of averages, there have to be. And they are hiding and living a lie because of attitudes and comments like this. Imagine, those of you who are married, having to pretend not to be, hide your wife, never refer to her, pretend to scorn her.
So don't tell me this is a whole lot of fucking nothing.
News flash for you! Roughly 50% of all boys, the smaller and frailer half, got beat up growing up. Fighting is a natural instinct in males of nearly all species and is learned by necessity through repetition. Extinction of the species is the alternative.
Big strong guys, gay or straight, don't get beat up for obvious reasons. The only openly gay friend I had growing up was about 6'2", maybe 230lbs, and went by the singular name of Flossie.
Nobody picked on Flossie.
As the smallest kid in class with a penchant for speaking out against bullies and being one of the very first "hippies" in town I got beat up dozens of times. In 10th grade I grew 9 inches and began studying karate.
Haven't been beat up since. I bear no ill will to my attackers as I am a better person having been faced with adversity and overcome it.
Recently I reconnected with some of these former childhood bullies and they are just regular people like you and me. Because fighting is part of growing up, and a necessary part of the educational curriculum of real life.
Comparing the braggadocio and fisticuffs of children or teens to the sociopathic slaughters by an African warlord and his sadistic henchmen is irresponsible and incorrect.
I am homophobic. I am indeed scared of gays hitting on me. It makes me cringe. So what?
Yes and yes. Compliment? What compliment? Ok, insecure by your authoritative judgment master spd.Really? Having someone the same sex as you find you attractive actually scares you? That doesn't make you homophobic just insecure. Take the compliment.
