hiya. i'm a moderator. on top of that, my tastes run a little less than mainstream.

that being said,


it bothers me to no end when i see knuckleheads who sit there and talk down on women who don't fit their "ideal woman" template. calling her a bitch, whore, slut, trash, cow, ugly, or any other nonsense is unnecessary. it's simply a testosterone response, similar to the grunting, scratching, spitting response that says "dammit, i'm a hetero, i'm an alpha, and i fucking rule" - most of the time this is posturing by people who are truly insecure, but feel the need to exhibit themselves as vital, so they put on the personae. it really bothers me that people can degrade and objectify just to cover their own base insecurities.

as a person, i think it's inappropriate. as a moderator, i think it's unneeded, and it exhibits a disrespect that we don't need around here.
