I was just asking them to explain themselves. Some replied in rather gentlemanly, brief fashion.
It can get ugly. Formation and familiarity can be toxic.
“Do you have a simple answer to my first question?”
The one about PMS? I responded that I didn’t know, but I’d seen sudden, severe behavioral changes due to menopause. Given the apparent age of the reporter, it could very well explain her actions. Reporters, by the nature of their profession, are required to have thick skins. She didn’t.
You told me, in essence, to sit down and shut up. And now you’ve engaged in name-calling.
And you’re criticizing others?
You would need to go to the post to whom I’d asked the question, as that is the pertinent question on which you intruded without knowing what you’d stepped into.
That poster was quite, and impressively gentlemanly with an appropriate answer, as here, on Free Republic, we are authentically non sexist, non racist.
As the councilman on the video said, I'm from Brooklyn and didn't know it was wrong.
Lighten up Francis, no need to try and add evidence to prove the point most posters are making.
“You would need to go to the post to whom I’d asked the question, as that is the pertinent question on which you intruded without knowing what you’d stepped into.”
I would agree if you had sent a private message to that individual. However, when posting to a public forum, it’s not out of the ordinary for several participants to respond to any one question posted.
Pardon me for not being psychic and knowing that you ONLY wanted a response from a specific FReeper.
I’d suggest that you also go back, and review your responses, and see if they qualify as being civil.
Oh, it’s just a dopey thread. It helps me fine tune my debating skills.
But that, “lighten up Francis” thing. It’s fro a bad movie put out 30 years ago.
Try something contemporary:
(in some reverse Chron order)
Olympus Has Fallen
Argo
The A Team
The Other Guys
Killers
White Chicks
Shooter
Band of Brothers

“If you read the thread before posting, you don’t need psychic powers, just basic abcs”
OK, now I’ve read and re-read the thread several times, to see if I missed something crucial. I didn’t. A couple of guys made some tongue in cheek references to stereotypical female behavior early on, and you challenged them.
I weighed in thinking it was a generic question, since it wasn’t a private reply from you. Unless you just wanted to publicly excoriate those who you deem as sexist and misogynist, I don’t see why you wouldn’t keep it private (and not subject to public viewing and response).
One great thing about Free Republic is the ability to speak freely and crack wise without worrying about the PC Thought Police coming down hard on those who wander outside of narrowly defined speech acceptability. No one attacked you personally, and yet you took it upon yourself to start “correcting” those in your gun sights.
Have you listened to radio or watched TV in the last several decades? Every time they need to lampoon someone, that foil is always a middle aged white male. Every other group is strictly off limits. The only exception I can think of was the Metro PCS commercials, where Indian males were satired.
So, as a group, white males are expected to suck it up and laugh at themselves. And we do. Every single day.
Why shouldn’t women, in the name true equality, be allowed to do the same thing?
Who said anything about white males and their poor victimhood?
Drop it.
“Drop it.”
Yes, ma’am. Right away, ma’am, Anything you say, ma’am.
(I see you’ve now appointed yourself as the one in charge of this thread, as well as acceptable posts.)
Suggest a cool, adult beverage, and few deep breaths.

Who wants "true equality"?
And you’re in charge of drinks?
Sure, stanne. What may I get you?
I make a mean Long Island.
But my Mojitos aren’t quite there yet...
Yes, the Long Island Iced Tea, I believe was invented by the boys in my neighborhood, on Long Island, in the ‘70s as a remedy for how to drink their (our) parents’ booze without having been detected, having learned replacing vodka with water doesn’t fool a Long Island housewife- not in those days.
So it was a little off of each of the many bottles in the vast collection, creating a concoction resembling in looks, and in flavor? no, like Iced Tea.
Poison.
I’ll go for the other, whatever a Mojito is. Or Cab or single malt

Actually, no.
