92. You want to know what's as sick as the ocassional outbreaks of actual sexism by minority of posters?
Edited on Fri Mar-07-08 04:54 PM by Political Heretic
The dilution of the terms sexism and gender discrimination, to the point where they become meaningless - all for political gain.

The cries of sexism here have been so twisted and perverted into political tactics that it trivializes the entire subject. Some on can say "I heard Hillary's favorite color is Purple" and there will be a veritable armada of posters ready to explode onto the scene with "OMG the sexism here is disgusting" posts.

Sexism, Patriarchy and Gender Discriminations are real problems and a grand total of none of these issues are being well addressed by this climate of hysterical exaggeration and hyperbole deliberately going on for purely political spin purposes. :(

That's the real shame.
