If you were a woman, you'd know how condescending some are to women, and they don't hide it.

In fact, I was belittled because of my gender just today (AFTER I whupped the macho guy in a battle of wits. :).

Their posts are almost never pulled unless they're obscene..........which they occasionally are.

I'm always impressed with the manliness of freepers whose only line of defense is to say, "Oh yeah.....you WOMAN you!" ;)

the "Wimmen 'R Evil Threads" and the "Shop for Furrn' Wives" threads are a hoot!

ROFL. I completely know what you mean! I had a poster dodge out by essentially saying "Quit being such a girl."

OK...but I win. LOL.

I am not a feminist, and I am not particuarly insecure about being female. You will find I am the first to admit that sometimes I perpetuate negative female stereotypes on occasion. Why, because I'm a girl and it comes naturally. But sometimes the condescension does get a bit irritating.

There is also a general feeling in some corners that it is ok to drool over Coulter or Malkin, but somehow demeaning to comment on the appeal o male politicians, pundits or celebrities.

I remember one guy getting all upset about a President Bush photo that was particularly good and had garnered by some positive reactions. He said something along the lines of "You girls are so embarrassing, drooling all over a politician. How demeaning. You are lowering the entire intelligence of FR." And then promptly left to make comments on a Coulter thread and demanding pictures. ROFL. Very funny.

When was the last time you heard the phrase "Coulterbot?"
