My fishing partner, Tatiania (we called her "Tits")

I'm probably more PC than most, but I still gotta say, no matter how

You realize he's just trailing, right? Oh, "they" probably do call her
"tits" and she may act like she thinks it's funny (or may even like it,
but I'd have to, um, well, see 'em in real life to believe it...), but
I'd offer that it's her call to make and, um, well, her hills to defend
if she thinks they need defending.

I'd be interested to know something. You say you are "PC," and are a
"liberal," yet you'd categorically deny a woman the right to be called
whatever she wished, yet you don't seem to have any opinion on when such
involves one guy calling another guy something that parallels "tits."

I'll temper that opinion with the confession that on one of the blogs
I frequent, I posted a diary railing against a toy manufacturer for
what I though was an incredibly demeaning sexist marketing scheme for
one of its toys. The blog is unquestionably on the "liberal" side of
things, and I expected a sympathetic audience for my rant. I was
wrong; opinion was split almost exactly 50:50. So what do I know.

Well, see, that's the problem with trying to be politically correct -
everybody is with a different party or wing thereof...and I'd not call a
"sexist" marketing scheme for _toys_ demeaning, I'd call it stupid -
what do kids really know or care about sexism? Are you sure it was
"sexist?"

TC,

It´s basically just as funny as you calling people homos, nazis etc
etc. What was it you said about irony?

If you had either sense or manners you would not do it, so it is quite
grotesque for you to comment on others in that regard.

Very many children are raised and indoctrinated in sexist
environments, which colours their subsequent views on such things very
considerably. Quite a few people consider this to be wrong.

Maybe you should have watched more movies instead of just trying to
bull**** the "chick" beside you.
